Gimmick, Yay or Nay?!

So I don't know if I'm the only one who has noticed AKA 's tendency of staring isht up on twitter- if not with artists, with industry peeps  and then just after doing so, he starts promoting his projects.

Last night for example he tweet pic'd what seemed to be an image of tv personality Bujy rocking a similar hair do as Cassper Nyovest  with the caption "I'm  Shebeleza" (as see below) . Everyone including those who live under a rock know that Bujy is openly gay and I'm sorry, but that could possibly be interpreted in many negative ways.

There's actually a word in the dictionary to describe AKA's Uhm "strategy " and that is "Gimmick ", it must be working for Mr Forbes since Congradulate  clung to the number one spot on iTunes for approximately  nine weeks straight. Don't get me wrong the song is pretty dope but controversy assists the hype.

One would wonder if it's  fair to do such at the expense of  other rappers. Shouldn't rappers be supporting each other to help grow the industry, through healthy competition or is there no such thing as healthy competition when it comes to hip hop?! Or are they also in on it and this is not only AKA's strategy?!, it's just  he put his hand in the cookie jar first while others are/were still snoozing?! .
I can only speculate because I'm just a fan who probably wouldn't be given the time of day if I asked...and quite frankly I'm ok with that.

Hands off K.O

K.O aka Mr Cashtime  took to Twitter  this afternoon to somewhat announce his HIV status,  this after continuous speculation about the state of it. 4 days prior he twitpic'd what seemed like a letter expressing his feelings about the issue, basically saying the rumours are completely false.

I personally don't know where the rumours stem / stemmed from and I think they're completely absurd and baseless,  I mean the man looks more than healthy to me- if you know what I mean (ladies) ? ! ^^,  LOL!

Another thing which perplexed me is the fact that those who drove him to do what he did in the first place, continued to scold him for it. Can somebody say conundrum?! Jeez!!!!

What K.O did is commendable,he stood up for himself against the vultures of social media, there's nothing more he can do, but to hit the stu and brew us another hit. In the meantime #Caracara will be on repeat. :)

#FindTeepee

So I was going through my Facebook posts as per usual and I came across a disturbing  post by Jay Stash shared by SA hip hop Download Links saying that vocalist Teepee has gone missing. His car was found vandalised and his phone is off. 

He has been in the music industry for a "minute" & has worked with likes of Amu,Pro, Sean Pages, HHP, Mr Selwyn amongst others.
Some of you might know him from JR's 2009 hit single "So Hot",  he was also featured on HHP 's "Dream Girl".

I really hope they find the dude in one peace -he is young, talented & I'm sure plenty dreams to achieve. #FindTeepee

News just In

Some of  you who haven't lived under a rock in the past year should know that Doc Shebeleza was and probably still is the biggest hip hop song in SA and it seems as though coporates are starting to notice.

One brand in particular (Savanna ) has allegedly falsely capitalized on the success of the track by putting up an ad campaign which looks like a play on words of  the song's lyrics.

Cassper Nyovest expressed his disappointment and annoyance on Facebook, saying he didn't get any compensation for it but he is not gonna take it up legally... So if  you were is Cassper Nyovest's shoes what would you do?...
