I think it was the lizard death cruisers seeking more sustenance. Not enough terror and pain on the ground clearly, dudes must be getting hungry.

At least its a step up from MKVA and ANCYL. Love that point about the pimping of people's votes and their probable disappointment. Discussed here I think. Finally something other than "racist girl" and whatever else. It is tongue in cheek I guess but I can deal with this type of article a lot better. All those people who foolishly voted for the DA for what amounts to a kick in the teeth. I know there are some disappointed cats in the Cape right now. Thank god somebody stepped up the discussion, even if it isn't a worldrocker. Cape to declare unilateral secession? LOL

She's also touching on "mind of the oppressed" issues which I think also needs to be brought into the debate, rather than kwedini, concubine, immorality etc.

The Suicide ho.

Specialises in fighting with her boyfriend, then later hiding the car keys in the freezer, taking rat poison and trying to die in front of him.

I think she may also stay in an 18! or 28...

Please people if you want to do this take LOTS so it works and you don't end up vomiting all over a stranger's car. Organophosphate puke fuggin stinks, I nearly nduku'ed her eye rolling gurgling head off, but I felt for her husband.

As much as the same can be said for a lot of South Africa, the three tiered society lives long and prospers in Cape Town (save the odd exception). Whites on top, then "Coloured" folk, then Africans. I have never seen it as accentuated as in Cape Town. I  travel the shit out of SA day in day out and am not speaking with only two other towns to compare it to.  When I see different I will say different. That place is pretty but it breaks my heart.

I'm not buying any other picture, when change comes it will be clear to see, not found under some rocks and in the darkest corners.  I expect we'll see lot's of "on side" appointments "of colour" now that people are being called out but that is even sadder. Cape Town needs real change. It cannot be that parliament is the only transformed body in the "Mother" City, what a piss take. Until Capetonians do something about it though this is going to continue. Good luck!

These are personal views I am open to the idea that they may not be facts. There is a lot to love about Cape Town.

My name is bornenbled and I'm an incurable a**hole. I changed the e in my name to a 3 cos I thought it reminded me of being cool in the matrix with shit.  I also like hip hop music a little bit and enjoy spinning my records around and around on my record players sometimes and talking to the radio about dubstep tunes and buying pints of milk.

I don't know, maybe. I haven't investigated matters but I just note the regularity with which I hear that myth, that's all. I don't hear people say it about anybody else nearly as much, am fully aware that that has zero bearing on truth value. I just know from my travels that South Africans bring that up a lot as a common stereotype, like the one that all Zulu men are taxi drivers or whatever other crap. Maybe that was a bigoted thing to say, I meant to poke fun at the myth, not the men. Apologies if I did harm. Still would weigh on my mind though.

Rob- Powered, active. Seriously. Just got some half decent KRKs off the back of using pa**ives (properly exshpanshive ones) with a nice enough Denon amp. The difference, even just through an Edirol is ufckin unbelievable. Get a way flatter sound and instant responses. It also depends on how good you want your sound to be. Some cats never get to the point where it matters, some even still producing "competent" beats on headphones... I know this is not your route though.

People will argue that pa**ives can be just as good, which I feel but really really would personally say go active. I am sadly not a "producer" per se so I hope this doesn't nullify my comment breh. They're also just better on the "cool" factor which makes everything feel a bit more Delorean. Sorry but this too is a factor.

ONE PROBLEM:  Actives sometimes give you maddening, mysterious and unsolvable hisses and/ or buzzes. I'm not talking power source interference and stuff which is easy to fix, I mean mysterious to the max. This can be immensely infuriating and has led to me putting something on hold for what is now ten days and counting... Anyway.

"Radio Buzz" is definitely only a marker (IN A LOT OF CASES) of how well your manager knows or sucks the appendages of the DJ, programmer, station head etc. f*** all to do w your music.  I doubt the SAMAs are very different. Call me cynical.

Apparently it's a big deal today with a lot of users on MTN and Vodacom. Same problem.  Some cat called me this morning saying his wasn't working was mine etc then he calls to say they were talking about it on the radio. Sorry I can't be more specific and all. Vodacom you need to email corporate affairs and cry to them they will try and help apparently.

Not sure about MTN.

AKA remix w Maggz and Slikour dropped on Metro the other night. Yes Rob the autotune one lol. Maggz came through mad strong as ever don't have a copy though yet.  The Maggz mixtape was dope enough and is trackable. I also got a hand to hand but I think it may be coppable through the Ceative Recreation set.
