I was just reading a newspaper where they were interviewing F-Eezy, and we know that he was endorsed by Amakipkip, and he blamed this for his poor album sales. He says when he walks throuh Kasi niggaz dont notice him coz he in a zip up Bape hoodie, and he feels like those clothes dont represent him or the people he is doin the music for.
So basically he traded his evisus and hoodies and colorful kicks 4 a more kasi look.
Wat do yal think
-
He done a good move. Ama Kip Kip will never be Kasi. ;D ;D ;D. But his music is nice, he's got that real hip hop going on with that vernec. He could still rock A1s and dickies, now that's tight for Kasi Rap
Bape is just too much. Maybe that's me

dawg I agree, even I dont rock Bapes I can imagine how it must be if you look like that in the township
-
LOL !!! Niggaz be trying to blame anything and everything for poor sales nowadays. What's next, momma didn't love me?

how much did f eezy sell ?

Yeah everyone dresses the way they like, but Bape is too much, TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUCH PPPPLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAASTic
Hahaha.
And yeah, don't blame clothes for music sales. But make sure your market can notice you. That's all. Imagine outies ekasi, kamerchant smokin izol, do you see any babe around you, NO, but, what do you hear, an F-eezy ft Zulu Boy track, so what's Bape doing here. The track even says it S'phila dangerous. Okay, do you know anyone who lives tough rocking babe. Hahahaha. Come on
Anyway, Hip Hop is also about REPRESENTING. And F-Ezzy came out as repping iKasi. So he better put his money where his mouth is, and that's a good move.
REP WHERE U FROM

f-eezy cannot blame the gear, how wud u explain teargas's success on their debut album? they were all baped up n reppin iKasi.
Its more about attitude.
How u dress, not what u dress in

Cosign...
Couldn't have said it betta B
PS: F-Eezy is an incredible storyteller, His album was really tight minus those countless njenge punchlines..pity 'bout the sales, but that's currently ever1's problem, is it lack of marketing or poor image? Tough call....

Hahaha, they blended the gear man. From kasi to what ever. They were even rocking overalls or "ongiyasebenza". The hats and everything.

First of all get that straight.
Blaming your gear for your weak sales is like blaming thblack Label for not getting a**.
"These bitches dont think I have enough cash when they see me drinking that, so they wont f*** me"
I've heard that one before and its bullshit, cos I drink Black Label.

'He says when he walks through Kasi ninjas dont recognize him'...
wow. Im sometimes amazed at the kind of things SA rappers spend their time worrying about..
-
as much as i hate bape's i thought thought it was a good look for him in that video, or rather should i say its a good video, they didnt go too overboard on all that vomit technicolour shit...
Bape's were cool in 1999 before their mosaic type colour prints, anyone remeber it when all they had on it was the ape on it and it was the main logo? that was dope, but now....eish.
bape's are made by the same asian designer who makes ice creams, thats why theyre both terrible.
-
nigo = that dude
you cant hate on a nigga that painted his buggati pink ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Imagine Cash rapping about ice and girls and he got none: now what do you call that? He doesn't rep what he raps
Imagine 3wrd rapping politics and they all in Bape: Doesn't what they rap about loose context
F-Ezzy might have been looking O.K. (no beef with Bape/Ape niggers) but his style of wear wasn't contextualized.
Remember Lah-zee and his song titled Hypocrites on Hype Volume 9: Go chech the Lyrics: Dude had a line which went like:
"They rap about bitches by they never f*cked one"
"They talk about blunts but they don't even know how to roll one"
Think about that and think about what Ezzzzzzzzzy is doing: Putting his stuff to context
CONTEXT IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOUR AN ARTIST, ESPECIALLY A LOCAL ONE But, those are thots from a fan
-
'He says when he walks through Kasi ninjas dont recognize him'...

Yeah.
and to blame the fact that your album flopped on the clothes he was rocking is hard to believe.
-
makes you wonder how the album woulda sold if he had Dankie San on.
Does this mean that we can blame Jozi's sales/ lack thereof on Amakipkip/Bape too?
How much did they sell anyway...?
Anybody know?

Good point by BEESTING!
The image has to gel with the music and what u represent!
Like dude said, i personally cant rap about ice and girls if i aint got none. lucky for me ive got 2 beautiful girls and i got me a lil ice so im str8.
I talk gear all day, n i always look fresh when niggas see me. so its a good match.
i talk kicks cos i got close to 30 pairs and countin!
i talkabout th new era of hiphop n i got like 50 fitteds! lol NEW ERA.lol
and as u can see on our website, im generally around fly women,signing autographs,partyin,in the studio cookin that WHITE,gettin payed,etc. so im livin what i rap about. i never rap about "how im killin emcees" cos i aint got no criminal record or the time to plan and execute any activities such as "stashin a body in the dumpster" lol. theres no money in killin mc's, unless i go Dingaan Thobela n open up a funeral parlour(but the average SA mc has quite a good lifespan) ;)
i think the same shud go to all these cats tryin to drop knowledge, but they aint professors n aint got no degrees ;D
if u spit science u gotta rock a lab coat and have a bunsen burner n sum lab goggles ;D
if u spit about politics, u must at least be majoring in political science,have library card and a dashiki n role wit da ANCYL;D
if u spit about Kasi, u gotta dress like Arthur and Trompies. no exceptions ;D lol. All stars,Dickies,No baggy jeans,keep it tight enuf to hug ya a** n shrink ya balls!!!! Thats Kasi! ;D
im jus playin around here.
But good point by Beesting. Image and ur MESSAGE/Style/Background must be MERGED!
Rep what u do/live.
The easiest thing is to just be Urself n be comfortable.
And focus on ur music first

clothes dont make a man

i still repeat you dont promote nationally
you dont sell nationally
and unfortunately the biggest selling rapper in gauteng is from north west.
go from city to city-province to province and you will move units.
whether you got bapes-guccis,versaces-loxionkulchas-or even filas.
