Had to quote that^^.
It all comes down to something a lot of rappers say but never do: "
KEEP IT REAL". If some guys practised what they preach, then we would not have a conflict in the music that we do and failing to represent who we are and our natural habitat.
We been through this many times before and there will be more debates around this in the future. I can only say that I am glad that rappers who represent in their mother tongues or whatever language in their multilingual repertoire are not looked down upon as they once were just few years ago during the punchline-craze-phase.
HIPHOP IS FOR EVERYONE!
Hiphop has many styles and they should all have fair exposure. Rocking in an indigenous language automatically makes a song South African but it does not make it Dope or Relevant.
As far as I know Zubz is dope, has made songs I can relate to, so I hope it was just a misunderstanding with Khoi.
