Ja well... Too bad dat we still got a long way to go b4 our local cats get to comprehend the dynamics of emceeing....
U see now this brings us to the Language usage, especially if U take a look at this (unda-the-breath) beef between cats who rhyme with Vernac and those who rhyme with English...
Does dat mean to be locally-correct U gotta use isi-Zulu when U write like H2O, cos if U sound like Tumi or Cashless there’s this false impression dat only people who are into hiphop will buy into yo sh*t. I mean look at Skwatta (Flabba & them) they’re using pidgin english is it the reason why they sold thousands of units?
I thought that what waz more crucial waz the subject of the matter (what U’re saying).
But then for me I don’t give a f*ck as long as I feel yo sh*t and get the drift of what U’re trying to relate to me it’s cool...
FT!-aka-FIYASKO! :-o :-o :-o
