Sduhla... Check out the article they do on this months HYPE magazine, under eastern cape hip-hop... I also wanted u to check out who was no 4 in an artcle that was done on the y-mag, 2004 about the 10 nicest cats in this country...
Also, follow this link...
http://www.africasgateway.com/article-print-326.htmlIf that doesnt prove to u that im not a gimmick, i dont know what will!!!
And im not a def-jux junkie, its just that there was a point where they had dope artists signed on their label.. its not about def-jux chap, its about the artist... Hell, an artist can be signed to bad-boy for all i care, or to DJ cleos label, what matters is what comes out their mouths, not the beats, or the label pushing them, dont get it twisted..
I want to take u seriously, just refrain from makin rushed conclusions... i can mention a lot of cats that are nice that are not on Def-jux, OR Rawkus(when it still existed), by the way, i dont think qwel is signed to def-jux, thou i stand corrected... when i hear a new cat, or some-one iv never heard b4 , my 1st comment is
not "Wow, what label he/she signed to???"no, i listen to the music..
As for where i used to get music from, let me explain.. do u know ta L?? he was with database(tumi/fatbuoy[ja, i knew his music b4 he became tumi, in 96 and im from a small town that makes vwz], zweli, and him), i knew him and zweli... they both resided in jhb, and they used to steady supply me, beast and sincere(3rd world riders manager) with music...
That said, this thread is not about me, or provin that im nt a gimmick so let us not deflect from the issue, i just felt that i needed to address ur comments so we can move on...
Somewhere in the crevices some cats are making good music, i still stand by my statement..
