Dear AKA,
This letter to me is pointless, it won't pay my bills, it won't
get me Boity and won't improve Zuma's English but as a fan
of hip hop I believe I should vent.
I have witnessed different eras of South African hip hop,
from H2O (amanzimtoti), the reign of Skwata Kamp, the
Reason from Optical Illusion, the skinny and ghetto Prokid,
the rule of Motswako, the snobbish but rather appealing Jozi
crew and the more commercialized and Kwaito sounding hip
hop era that we are in.
In all these years I've never came across a rapper that is as
irritating as you, as cocky as you, and most of all, as bored
as you. I won't take anything away from you, you work really
hard, and your music has mass appeal but you're wrong.
South African hip hop isn't at it's current state because of
your efforts, that's Industry blasphemy, and that's highly
disrespectful to other artists who are pulling their weight,
AKeezus huh? That's like saying South Africa is at it's current
state because of Zuma, there were a series of events, activists
and rappers before you, but then again who knows, the way
you're acting one would swear that you are Zuma's bastard.
You forget that you are in South Africa, we don't have a
broad hip hop market, not everyone has an iPhone or a
computer to buy your album on iTunes, and you know well
that people don't buy CDs anymore, your last album sold
6000 copies.
I thought you would've at least learnt your
lesson. With that said, you need to humble yourself, not beg,
but be likable, or you'll be the next L-Tido. Right now you
making good music but you making it hard for a regular joe
like me to like you enough to support you.
Humble yourself or uzolamba clever!!!
On Twitter, you exhaust a lot of people, are you an orphan?
Why do you like attention so much? It's not that people are
hating on you, you are the one thats luring all that hate
towards yourself. You have a few awards now you think
you're
the Kanye West of South Africa, that
time your gf is a dark skinned dj and none of your singles
and albums sold gold (at least).
Hhayi brika bhova!!!
And lastly, learn from the greats, KO, Khuli, HHP, they've
been in the game longer than you and their albums did well
and they are still relevant. Yeah, every rapper has an ego,
when you're good you're good, but you're overly conceited
for nothing, you haven't achieved that much in the business.
Here's a thing about fame, it's comes and goes quick, so
don't make us be happy when your demise arrives, we want
to miss you one day when you have faded, right now?
We can't wait to see your downfall.
Yours truly.
