thabs is hands down the best writer in SA hip hop. he writes the kind of shit language students in MA programs have wet dreams about. even Lesego Rampolokeng - who hates Hip Hop - called him the next shit.
AmeN!
then follows Sharpa.

@Manene Poetic Artist is Pura from Izithunywa Zohlanga. man, LifeForcez is one of the biggest and not to mention tragic almosts in SA Hip Hop history.
Eish ya neh, tha's sad.

Yo I don't get the fuss about Prokid seriously. Cosign with The Panic about that stereotype joint. Man the whole Groundworks/AudioVisual clique was illest. Can't get over Krooked's verse on Show me yours or the one on some joint where he goes, "...in any rhyme state of emergency/While you kill time I injure eternity". These niggaz were ahead of their time, Frnak talks; "Take my chances like trading mirrors for cattle/You never know till you try...Genius in it's essence.

To do what Verb suggested:
Marradona from 3WR (where the f*** are these kats)
Some kat from Bloemfontein called Psycheoptic/Cosmic night, used to roll with kats like Cherk art etc.
Snypa

I nominate Proverb.



Hardly... If we're talking hardest grinding then no doubt!!!

But serously tho, Challenge to all you cats in the wings to take the Baton. The Game getting real stale real quick!
Reason was threatening for a long time to be that next cat but he seems to be taking too long, who gon rise to it who huh?
or are we old cats gon have to keep releasin albums to keep the game alive? :(

yeah.. coz 'old cats' just want to hear wat they spit.. its not cool for young cats to cum thru and do wat they do without resistance from the same old cats. thats y there's a 'riff' between 'old school' and 'new school'! its mad young cats lyrical as a mutha but their idea of rap isn't the same as it was for cats back then.
but cats get judged way before they rap! to the point where i'm starting t othink that the baton mite neva get 'pa**ed' and the new cats are formin their own track team with their own baton. too much animosity!

@MrC i call bullshit. name me three emcees that write and sound like thabs.

cats stay sleeping on Sharpa. 'B.Sharpa' is a landmark album: it's mad original, crafty, trippy, neck-breakin' AND brain-boilin' shit. its hilarious too! accomplished in every sense and one of Mzanti's dopest drops, if you ask me.

Gin-i Grindith hasn't appeared on anyone's list so I though I'd throw that out there.

None of the 'swagger' rappers are 'lyricists' in any definition of the word I understand. Swagger rappers are all about simplistic rhymes and catchy flows - nothing wrong with that, but it's not lyricism.
