these AG cats always take it negatively when i speak the truth.
or express what i see is happening!
im glad others are standing up and sayin " Cash is right, we agree"
Thats what hiphop needs.
Pyro is a perfect example - he bought my shit cos i been marketing myself right here on AG. he dont even like me! but he copped the disc!
Sad thing is - I like Proverb, but i aint rushin to go cop his album anytime soon.
The last two albums i copped was Kanye n Fifty.
Do the maths,they marketing was tight!
the albums were tight!
the timing was right!
they created enough buzz!
Its not all about sales - but if u have a message to put across in ur music - the amount of attention u generate helps u spread ur message! thats the void these dudes are failing dismally to fill.
bottom line.
I aint hating!
but the truth is, MUCH MORE PEEPS is lookin out for MORALE than any of these cats who BEEN out!
Way more cats is lookin out for the Monopoly!
These dudes, the so called HOT cats got bodied by Flabba!
Meanwhile Jozi is makin real good moves! Competing with Other Artists from Other Genres! not jus limited to hiphop circles!
They actually bringin hiphop to the rest of the country(outside of 1970 - 1985 HEADS), as opposed to the Tumi's n Zubz'z who kwaito,house,afro pop,house, parents,younger kids,etc listeners would never give time of day! real talk!
we need a NEW ENERGY and vigour about our hiphop!
yall actin like them old a** geysers in the ANC! scared of lettin the young bucks redefine the struggle! yall still stuck in Apartheid mentalities!
I have this strange sense that im seen as the opposition on AG!
Im not!
Im on ur side! taking hiphop to the next level!
Arent u f***s tired of hiphop being overlooked and undermined!
If you are! Let me lead the New Era!
Let niggas like Morale, Koli the Kid,Sean Pages, K9 th Pedigree, Igho, Jozi...take this shit to new heights!
Let Proverb, Tumi,Zubz,Skwatta,Prokid,etc.fall a bit back, n guide the new generation by sharing honest and openly,the mistakes they have made and make sure the future dont repeat their errors!
Lets stop hatin on new cats for lookin fly(image wasnt so important then....the old cats made the mistake of not adapting to change, let the new cats embrace change!)
Lets not hate new cats for havin that swag(personality sells...the old cats didnt learn that fast enough! the shy rapper thing got played out! let us TALK our MINDS!)
Lets not hate new cats for havin more business savvy(contrary to popular local beleif,hiphop IS A BUSINESS! the old cats took it for granted,we cant repeat the mistake)
Lets not hate new cats cos they havin more fun(the older cats were too serious, when the music consumer generally jus wants to have a good time and party to music, not constantly be lectured!)
Lets not hate on Hiphop in America, Lets LEARN from them!(in any industry,sport,entertainment, business,etc...these guys are leading! we need to learn how they do it! only then we can do it better!) - niggas like sliqour are wrong when they say, their bastardised version of hiphop is more appealing to SA people, he lying! American hiphop is by FAR outselling local hiphop! No SA cat can fill up a venue....but ANY American Artist CAN! Lets stop lyin to ourselves and tell the new cats the TRUTH!
