So my old lady is giving her vinyls to my cousin, don't know what the dude is going to do with them( that's his business). Anyway I decided to go through most of them with her and bumped into one by Senyaka titled African Rap.

So who's the originator of rap in South Africa?

I'm asking the fellow agians this question because I wasn't into S.A rap that much until a few years ago...
I repeat...fcuk your couch

I was asking myself the same too. I saw the video last week. it looks like the joint is from around the same time as Yvonne Chaka-Chaka's Mr DJ song.


one of the lines goes
"there are a lot of MC's out there but none of them better than me"

hahah

i dont think he was that bad for that time.

from what i have heard senyaka is actually one of the first mcees in the country, and then kwaito blew up and cats had to get paid so they went with it. and this was way before the "Muthaload" mixtape came out and some cats regard that as one of the first hip-hop albums in the country. A friend is conceptualising a video, which will be paying tribute to senyaka's contribution to sa hip-hop

I don't know about the first, but I know the best was definitely Bob Mabena.

He even has a SAMA to prove it.

I think Senyaka came out the same time as Penny Penny and when Chico started doing
Kwaito. This could've been around 1990-91. I know that M'du and the Tropmies have been around since 1988 as M.M. Deluxe. That was said to be the first Kwaito group.

P.O.C's OUR WORLD (thats credited as SA's 1st hip hop release) came out in 1990? they also formed in 88/89 so if thats the case, then it would come down to the month.... haha

I thought that Black Noise had a release back in 1989. I heard that they were the first
crew in Cape Town but started out as a graffiti and breakdance crew.

Stop the presses!!!

Mzwakhe Mbuli was the first rapper. That dude has been putting poetic, rhythmic flows to music for eons in SA.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
