Nthabi, you know what happens when we do this...LOL
not in a beef sense at all girl. I just feel that SA hip hop- or the component of it that gets the most exposure is soft- so pink golfT-shirt and naked nights -there isnt that street,gritty feel to things if you know what I mean. which is why I usually say I respect the Kwaito fraternity for speaking to SA youth in the way they know how- they dress like us, speak and spit like us, and adequately represent where most of us are from (hoods/disadvantaged joints).I feel like Kwaito has this natural real, raw, hardstreet but local appeal and credibility to it that speaks to SA youth in a way that SA hip hop hasnt been able to.
@rob
things are changing for the better. when i mission hip hop sessions ekasi, i spot mad potential in the younger kids, that could not give two hoots about hennessy or whatever these grown cats are concerned with- that are still pure in that they spit what they know of themselves and where they're from. the winds of change and growth they blow....
WE SHOULD NOT ACT LIKE THERE IS NOTHING TO BE LEARNED FOR SA HIP HOP IN KWAITO.
