You can be JACK of all trades and MASTER them all | Proverb

[@NAADube]

What I have learnt from these interviews is that people are dying to tell their story but there's not enough time. Podcasts are the answer

[@BIGEYETV]

I was here to say that, and I saw this. I agree with you. Podcast hoorayy.....

[@loccotshangana]

True...

[@ShoeZK4Eva]

Some of us bought his albums and we still listening to them today, we still consider him the best lyricist. 🔥YOU didn't waste 20yrs, you gave us the best Hip hop music that we can listen to forever 🤞🏾

[@NangamsoNtontela]

word!

[@Nohzee_M]

And Those Lyrics Gave Inspiration And Changed A Lot Of Lives!

[@mmataukwena1078]

The best lyricist indeed.

King David. I like the way you made ProVerb realise that the 20yrs he spent in Hiphop was not wasted investment but it was the equity that pivots to the opportunities of today.

[@olebogengmoopelwa8260]

Hey Verb, I just wanted to reach out and say a huge thank you for this profound interview with Bra David. It means so much to hear your story and to see you receive the recognition you truly deserve. Verb, your music has been a fundamental part of my life. I’ve grown up with your tracks, and your album "The Manuscript" still has a special place in my collection. I know the music industry didn't give back to you financially as much as it should have, but I want you to know how much you’ve impacted us, your fans. In my heart, your music has always resonated deeply. Maybe touching people’s lives was what you were called to do, even if it wasn’t as lucrative as we all hoped it would be. Your perspective on why you stepped back from music left a bittersweet feeling, especially since I've always wondered about your silence on the topic. I'm an old head, and I totally understand the disconnect with today’s market trends - frankly, I'm not a fan of them either. It’s ironic, isn’t it? Like the last line in "Rise of the Underdog," it seems some of your lyrics have turned prophetic. I completely respect your decision to prioritize your family’s needs, like your kids' school fees. It’s a commendable and understandable choice. But I just wanted to let you know that your art made a difference. It mattered to us, it mattered to me, and it still holds its value. Thanks again for sharing your journey, Verb. Wishing you all the best in your business ventures and hoping maybe one day we'll get to hear your voice again in the music scene. I mentioned you in my tweet recently about the book of Proverb and the song Old Scrip and you mized me but I get it now because you say things like, were where we when it mattered most but we were always there man, unfortunately we cant confirm it with money but if God can show you our hearts you will know we really loved your music. Pro to the Verb, the best to ever do it, and thanks for jumping on Super Hero Ego with Shovel and them, have always wanted to hear you on a joint with Mothipa, you killed it, the Don, kill every single song that I spit upon etc....

[@LeratoMotloung-f7q]

Please thank Proverb for sharing his story. I felt like I was watching life Master Class.. Please thank him for his vulnerability, his honesty and openness. Ke kopa le mo lebogeng go menagane.

[@thapeloashley4778]

The Read tape Fourth Write Off the books The book of Proverb Manuscript Rites of passage In that order I love Proverb man, I always scribble something when I listen to him

[@SPECTRE559]

Read Tape is my best. Almost ten years later it remains relevant today

[@blinkym21]

There is a lot of mutual respect in this conversation and I love this for both of them💫💫.

[@Vision-Zar]

He got clean music... nobody has ever touched that cleanness eversince

[@Nokss87]

True 😊

[@tkbotes5858]

Man, I can listen to Proverb speak all day. The man is very well spoken

[@KatlehoMotake]

When he said he never went back to the studio after getting the quote to record and it matched his kids school fees really hit my heart.🥺

[@PamelaBlaai]

I am not sure what it was about this interview that evoked different emotions in me. While listening to it, I found myself crying, laughing, feeling sad, but also gaining introspection. I appreciate transparent and authentic people, and I felt that Proverb was very open and honest during the interview.

[@Pagasus]

Two of the most intelligent yet humble human beings alive. Big ups to both of you bro Dave & Verb🤟🏿

[@thabonkuna6039]

This was very informative and enjoyable, thanks for bringing the Kimberly kid Bra David....nice show as always 👍

[@mthokozisisiyethembazibani2820]

Real Hip Hop fans know that Proverb is a legendary lyricist

[@paballobutelezi5532]

Proverb is my husband's one of the favorites...we literally have every album and his memoir in our home, thank you David for this interview, very interesting in many ways

[@gadgetdemigod]

This interview is heartwarming. The music conversation really touched my heart, you gave so much of yourself to music, one can say you were way ahead of your time, but nonetheless you've paved a way and added value to this things called South African hip hop, Proverb is definitely a blueprint, a human case study.

[@moss917]

Menuscript , The book of Proverb...Pro, it was not wasted, you made a big impact for a generation, you inspired a generation dude, its written in history . i bought all your CDs,till today ,i listen to your tracks. dude you are a god sent to our generation, and we where there all the way.

[@keladitema1507]

Proud Old CBC 😊😊😊❤ What a great chat between the 2 gents... humble soul, super talented. I still regard the likes of Proveb, Stogie T, Amu, etc, as the greatest rappers of our generation. Thank you for bringing him in studio. I wish him all the best going forward

[@cosmic_sunflower3864]

When "Rise of the underdog" dropped on those Hype sessions mixtapes we collected. It was epic. Proverb's music got me through tough teenage years. His music holds a special place in my heart ♥.

[@SPECTRE559]

Hearing the PRO RHYME along side Mode 9 is like discovering an oil mine, imagine the wealth with flows you will find

[@yangangcafuza6287]

Thank you Bra Dave for hosting this humble & intelligent gentleman, Verb you're such a legend man. I could listen to you talk for hours on end, please accept your flowers from us RSA citizens. I really respect your work & you're a great story teller & well spoken, thank you so much.

[@nomalusivinolia6639]

I really enjoyed this conversation.Proverb 🙌..The drop mike story on idols gave me goosebumps

[@Purawazo]

Mc like Proverb were so valid then n still valid today coz they were lyrical more than just commercial beaters (so we used to call them). I am from Makhanda Grahamstown and I used to share a studio with Zubs, @ Rhodes and Proverb represented what we believed was RAP and I still believe in him. Im started listening to RAP in the early 90s and we are the same age. I still listen to Hip Hop today with my sons, and Im in a corporate world now. One single wud make us happy man plz. we miss u Pro

[@jeisonkunene6376]

The lyrics to Writer's club are something else, this guy o merrrrsive marn!

[@SPECTRE559]

A tongue twister in the first verse

[@mmataukwena1078]

Why did i finish of you sentence in Cobrizi's voice😂

[@leeuwkgosing145]

Its a 1st time I see Dave be "STAR STRUCK". Proverb was/is my STAR since early on in his career and its super nostalgic to hear his life story. I now understand why doesnt record music anymore. I very much enjoyed this episode. 😃

[@namiledlamini8630]

What a beautiful conversation....had a light bulb moment there....im so guilty for not choosing myself and just sleeping on my dream and not evolving.#Proverb is the big brother that we all need....so much truth!! And David the uncle that asks the right question....im awake!!!! Im evolving....i choose me,i choose to grow...

[@tsholofeloeunicemoitsheki]

I felt the same and I am promising myself to work on my self😭😭

[@rapture_resoundingkeys]

What a guy, very inspirational and knowledgeable. Can listen to him all day🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏

[@winnie9497]

He is amazing.....a gem

[@khanyigiven4774]

And the humbleness and respect, i don't know how many times he uttered "boet Dave" 😊

[@yandisapitsha8969]

❤

[@sydneymaswanganyi]

My all-time favorite songs by Proverb are The Beginning ft Lungelo and Highly Blessed woth The Soil. I love those songs

[@SPECTRE559]

Kimberly diamond, where the speaker personified a diamond so get the message of regardless of the pressure faced, endurance will result in prosperity

[@Leo-pm6ky]

It might not mean much to him now …but The book of Proverbs-is CLEAR.I was in Musica at 9am on March the 4th…thank you for everything bhut Pro.

[@MoengMathunda]

Proverbs first album is still one of my favourite Hip Hop album a ever

[@mfunekosbukwana6075]

"Jack of all trades, a master of none. But still better than a master of one". That's the full quote.

[@tumi1602]

one of the most pivotal songs in my life is Breadwinners featuring HHP, That song motivated me to be an active and present father when the time came in 2010.

[@lettienahole]

We love and appreciate Pro and his contribution to the music and entertainment industry at large in Namibia 🇳🇦.

[@MotherElephant7]

Two of my faves 😭. Unreal!!! Thank you so much for this one Bra Dave

[@bidikb]

One thing about Proverb is that he is really hardworking, academia along is so demanding but yet, he is a full-time dad.

[@thatomokhahlane8903]

Can’t teach an old dog new tricks... one of my all time favs from verb🙌🧡... & im so attracted to his level of respect accompanied by humility

[@lloydmazubane2340]

I shed a tear when bra Dave told that prokid story 😢

[@sejomonoane9226]

We really loved your music Proverb, Dave is quite right

[@dimphoselepe4542]

Poop! Poop! Greatest of all time. Human being. Greatest human being in Brother Proverb. Looking up to him till date. Love his authenticity and aura man.

[@Seraga-raga]

Thoroughly enjoyed the episode, sat throughout the entire 4hoursand it was worth it. Danko Bra Dave also to Sir Proverb.

[@dineolekoma5080]

Absolutely enjoyed this interview🥰🥰I am a huugggggeeee Proverb fan. I bought his book as soon as it was released in 2020 and man,it was really good. He has done well for himself and he is really humble. I watched this interview in one go yesterday and I am inspired on so many different ways❤❤ You really have a way of making guests relax and just be themselves Bhut Dave😊❤

[@faithmokhosi]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview!!! Proverb has a beautiful story to tell.. and he’s well-spoken.

[@ignatiusgelant6122]

Very informative and life lessoned interview, alot of wisdom and life experience...Grootman Bra David what a knowledgeable man...."Your life cannot always be an instagram picture." That statement hit hard💯💯👌👌 Didn't knew Proverb came from kimberley....Die K-ster from Noord Kaap thats my province...I've learned alot from this interview.... Thanks Bra David and Proverb this was legendary💯💯👌🙏

[@mamolewamodiba9159]

Thank u Dede for inviting this dynamic individual to your studio. He has literally grown before our eyes. We’ve seen the mRapper in him, the presenter, now a Radio Host. Wow he’s maturing before our eyes. He will forever be relevant not because of his multiple talents but his respect and humility. He worked liked a PRO, Ke senganga👊🏾 Dede, your work is noticeable and impactful. I have a young lady who has contacted me because I’m from Mamelodi and I went to the same varsity with you. You were working at the campus radio and I remember telling you that one day we will be listening to you on the airwaves. Look at God🌈How do I contact you? There’s someone who needs mentoring in doing a podcast. My name is Lewi Modiba from Mamelodi A1.

This makes me feel like my young self listening to old interviews this is golden..

[@QueenTheEmpowerer]

David's ❤ this man is so genuine so kind how he gives his guests a platform to shine yet can also be vulnerable is another level if interviewing. As Proverb while I was searching on what to watch I knew he would do what he did revive me, his simply amazing.

[@motoaisusan3124]

Bra Dave the best to date,Loved everything. Timing is everything ❤

[@bloomingthoughts_]

I love Proverbs’ story. Honestly it’s never too late to start again and do what you want with your life/reroute. 🙏🏾

[@siphomdawe4377]

I am coming to that concert Pro. I truly love Pro Verb’s music even today

[@SPECTRE559]

When and where is the concert?

[@titussithole5057]

I really enjoyed this interview King david... Pro, you the Goat of our time

[@Bakii.Lopez9]

The reason why we always ask Pro Verb when is he releasing, is because we love and loved his music soo much, it's not hate. I'm also one of the people who always ask him on social media when are we getting music from him, but honestly watching this, I kind of understand why we are not getting music from him. But I still love his music and still say I'd love to hear more of it. It's all love bhut Pro... Nothing but love❤❤❤❤

[@neoolengwanaeng6991]

Amazed to come across this interview, I was just talking about Dr Thekisho today, the best lecturer we had. I do Community development so well because of her teachings. It is clear where you got your inspiration and drive from 😅 Thanks King David for bringing Proverb. As a mother to a young man who is pursuing music, am hopeful😊

[@mariabernice8154]

I'm enjoying this interview every minute of it,We loved his rapping and when he was on Idols,Thanks King for awesome interview 🔥👌

[@pulengie]

I was one of those ppl who felt Proverb was unappreciated sort of like how tumi & the vol now stogie t is. And they to me are what hip hop is or was. Off course there are others but they stood out for me. Now honestly i don’t listen to hip hop because it doesn’t sound good man… I could almost feel the pain he is feeling. To be one of the greats and not have anything to show for it 😢 But Pro u are still here and you can still write and release the music, u do have fans outchea❤ dnt forget about us thle monna!

[@jacobkelben]

Great interview. had to pause, and finally finished watching the interview after 3 days 😅

[@emmanuelzwane2765]

Verb will always be a legend. he's one of the few that made most of us love SA Hip Hop.

Thank you for bringing Proverb. My king, can you please try and bring someone from the modeling industry (any genre) even if it's a retired model, just to share with us pros and cons of this industry since most of today's kids are so eager to persue that career. I hope you will succeed in finding someone interested in coming to your studio.

[@dripbasemedia]

I watched the DJ Sbu interview and I thought I didn't need this one. 😂Only to realize how it was just a trailer. Bra David has a skill of letting the guest tell their story. 😢I now understand the story and how impeccable, impactful and goal driven he has been in his careers. I didn't even know he was on radio. I didn't know how hard he hustled to get in music. Proverb now give us your movie big bro. Wow your journey is crazy! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🙏 Stay blessed. Thank you. 🙏

[@thatomokhahlane8903]

That which was meant to destroy us, God uses it to our benefit... referring to the point Proverb made about the person who body shamed him... (Only if we can learn to be kind to our fellow beings) its as simple as that

[@tumisethebe2690]

I will take this to the grave. Thank you Proverb and Grootman!!!!

[@TebogoGanyane-jk7bw]

Wow bra dav you let us hear a life of a legend in the underground hip hop industry ❤️

[@tumeloseadira8224]

Trust Mdeva to deliver a great interview without touching on messy subtopics (divorce) that would overshadow great insights and conversations.

[@mengezinxumalo9276]

Bra Dave is right "Letter to my Ex" was on Yfm rotation heavy back in 00 or 01 before Proverb released an album, it has us yearning for a full project from Proverb. Ourageous Records gave us some major hitters like Optical Illusion, Battlekat on the production, Nyambz, Peebles, amazing era of SA hip Hop

[@Mank_Mindset]

Level of interaction 👆🏿💯✨

This is a sad story regarding Pro’s music career. You can tell that while he appreciates the journey and the learning process, he’s also ‘hurting’… it’s sad that the industry could do such to someone who’s in my Top 3 of the best lyricists this country (if not the continent) has ever produced 🎉… I still pump his Manuscripts on iTunes and other songs

[@gcobanileon2038]

Bra Dave please invite Mr Mbuso Khoza....

[@mashuduthidiela9643]

If Proverb is willing, we can all contribute to the recording fees for him to record Book of Proverb. As much as we have the others on streaming platforms, the fact that we don’t have the first one feels like the most special one is missing. Let’s do it just for the sake of history!

[@repentantheart1518]

I doubt he will have the desire to invest his time and energy on that.

[@mashuduthidiela9643]

@@repentantheart1518 the beats are already there. The lyrics are already written. It would literally take a day at most. If he can’t do that then that’s shameful.
