They dont take South African Hip Hop seriously that's why they put us in the same category as Kwaito. At the SAMA'S, but I blame radio stations for not getting the recognition that we deserve.
No but S.A youth do not understand the meaning of the movement and its origin, Everybody just sees it as a quick way to make a buck and get out of poverty. This is where people need to get educated to understand more about it. This was never about money but rather a medium for young black youths to express themselves when times were not good, Malcom X days and slowly it became about sending a positive message to the youth to leave a life of drugs and gangs, and rather try to achieve more.
I personally think it is the record companies, Entrepreneurs etc, Who do not use local talent and expose it to nationwide. The problem is record companies dont take risks but they wanna be filthy rich. Aint nothing bigger than Hip Hop.
