It’s time for me come clean
I started this forum wanting to hear you views about the standard of live performances in Jozi. I don’t mean to sound like a “playa hater”. I know that I must support rappers but at the same time I feel robbed everytime I support them. I’m also trying to avoid doing a “shine on my shine” on rappers, but I think the standard of live performances in Jozi is doo-doo.
Honestly, I believe for cats to have albums before they go through rapping in front of a drunk capacity crowd holding beer cans/ bottles ready throw them on you when you rap doo-doo, or rapping in clubs where the only security is the bouncer at the door and one/ two inside who are not doing their jobs cuz they busy with chicks must not should be a no-no.
Truth be told, Skwatta, the “Ramesh household” (Ramesh, Shera, Fortune and Naked DJ), Selwyn (sometimes), suck when in come to live delivery. I was at last week’s launch Fortune’s CD and have to say the performances were kak, the only cat that held it down was HHP. I don’t know where do SK and the Ramesh brothers get this rap at the same shit of theirs. It’s cool to back each other, but not the whole verse as if they competing on who can rhyme the loudest. Some of the can’t even hold the mic, which disgrace when you consider that these cats have CDs out.
These cats show they never received the training in rapping. Don’t get me wrong you can sound nice on tracks but stage is a different story.
