Miss Cosmo’s contributions are always solid. Also her demeanor - very calm and directed. Great addition to this production! Also Scoop is treasure for you guys industry. I disagree sometimes, naturally, but he really is gold in terms of perspective. Also his articulation is great. Lol I sound like a reviewer/critic, whoah Im just watching wethu nothing much🤣

[@zanodalayne1343]

I find this topic really interesting because I was raised in a Bhaca community (by my Mother) though my father is Mpondo. I went to school and fell in love with Poetry. I write poems both in Xhosa and English. When I got to varsity I fell in love with Hip-Hop particularly South African Hip-Hop. I later fell in love with Hip-Hop beats to a point where I started writing on them. I gave myself a rap name and still consider myself a 'Rapper'. But I've always had and still have this problem of not knowing how to sound and I find myself not recording my songs because I feel like I'll misrepresent my poetry and convey it in a twisted way. I do not know whether I am Bhaca or Mpondo. Dope topic guys. I might not make sense but that is exactly what you should get from this message [CONFUSION] CZ that's a reflection of how I feel. I love you guys. I'm in JHB (Newtown).

[@imangajnr]

y'all teach me a lot ,I don't live in South Africa am actually Zambian but what people don't realise that side is that SA hiphop actually Influence's the whole Continent a lot.. and I look up to a lot of artists from that side including the new wave that are not yet even big..but I wanna make it Continent wide and represent the continent and I will learn different language's from different countries but still remain Zambian...AFRICA is home

[@tomoyamazaki8867]

i just realized i watch this POPCAST every morning when getting ready for work, almost everyday.....big ups guys, extremely relevant topics and keep up the good work!!! we need more of these for the SA youtube/HIPHOP scene

[@motlatsi219]

I think in South Africa there's a disconnect. The older rappers are versatile and can flip however if you look at the younger kids they are not they can't flip language on a whim. I think its an attribute that they have consumed too much American content. It also goes deeper to the fact that some know their home language on a surface level. One thing that I have noticed and is very prevalent in Johannesburg is that children are raised to speak English first before their home language. This will create a domino effect for the next generation of creatives. And it will genuinely create an even larger disconnect. Cause at the end of it. If a person does not know or identify with their roots how can they be grounded and express themselves...the only option they can grab on with both hands is English.

[@sizakelemsibi7870]

"Forgive yourself for your fucken stupidity, and I forgive you too"😂😂....Love you Scoop!

[@thutochauke4284]

Really love this guys 🙏🏿🤞🏾 Scoop bro what you said today is absolutely something we as South Africans are sleeping on but S/o for real bro ✊🏾✊🏾🙏🏿

[@pinkysrose4806]

My thing is do you really have to rap in vernac in order to appeal to the global market? Hip Hop is a genre that is borrowed and didn't originate in South Africa. Whether we like it or not, we follow the west as a blueprint to make this music. Nasty C is Zulu and can speak his language very well, but he did not start rapping in Zulu. He started rapping in English because that was the blueprint set out for him. How was Stogie T able to successfully tour Europe with his band and all he did was rap in English. Afro beats has appeal because it's music that formulated in Africa. I also feel like you could still appeal to the global scene while rapping through your story telling and overall sound/production.

[@mongesibmahlangu2723]

@Pinkys rose : Scoop had mentioned that the global audience notices you for what makes you unique and not what they already have,so the "repping where you from" conversation is one example of that which makes you unique. Another example is style, so when we talk about stogie, what made successful was his unique style of having "the volume" implement jazz/soulful sound to his raps

[@pumezamtshotana1275]

Scoop is making so much sense, I completely agree with him.

[@directorsphe]

Scoop actually needs to be on panels for SAMAS and whatever award shows there are in SA because i swear he has so much insight/knowledge about the game! he definitely needs to be in those MTVBASE round table panels. once again, dope episode!! @director_sphe

[@LinxoZulu]

This is the first episode that has brought up a very valuable point every artist in SA must consider whether you've made it or on the come up. Thank you Scoop👋🏽

[@lindokuhlevilakazi6768]

K.O's Skhanda Republic was a pinnacle of vernacular rap, PINNACLE and guess what his own pushed him to change his vernacular ways and do something that is not SKHANDA (SOUTH AFRICAN RAW) and I doubt we'll ever hear him making songs like "son of a gun"

[@wizzyhlatshwayo8740]

THIS IS LEGENDARY ......

[@gomolemommutle6878]

So thank you guys for a show like this, POPCAST is the shit, I'm not a rapper but there is a lot I'm learning a lot about the game and what upcoming rappers must do to go main stream, big up to you guys...... I just hope this show wont be coming to an end.

[@deepchambers1848]

lol unamanga bro the content is just too much to miss

[@flepeezy]

SCOOP and Dj Vigilante get it! ask any African in the diaspora what they spend most of their time doing in a social setting with other people you would often find them explaining where they come from, the type of food they eat, the music they listen to, often not too sure how to answer these questions. and I think from these questions u begin to realise something about themselves that they have probably lived most of their lives as a secondary citizen to their own tribe. The Indians, Chinese, Nepalese, Sri Lankens will tell u without a doubt what they eat and drink and what they wear on certain occasions. they wear their culture and pride unapologetically. You guys are right, the Nigerians, I would best describe them as our Ambassadors when it comes to this topic of culture and pride.

[@athenkosimatshini1716]

Scoop Dyan, siyabulela about what you said today. we seriously don't recognize and appreciate our own until they get recognition from outside. Mahle acwengile Dyan endala...

[@lefokontaka2134]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn this topic was too lit 🔥..... Baxelele Siya...... baya lahleka ..... give thanks..... Trust

[@mthunziasakhe7748]

I like the push on encouraging our own but after all i think we suppose to encourage artists to be true and be them selves on their projects and not to copy others because if we narrow it to a point of culture and roots, that will mean we have to consider a lot since we all have different influences. Rapping in English doesn't mean i sound like someone, i can still be myself without sounding similar to someone else while rapping in English.

[@zanetshona]

Loved the topic..and yeah i agree..we don't pay attention to our talent until they are recognized else where. People are just not proud of their roots especially their language, they think speaking English is cooler and the bombastic the words the smarter you are..you should see how people are quick to correct you or laugh at you when you make a mistake in English as if speaking and knowing English is an accomplishment kodwa the same bantu abalazi ulimi lwabo

Truly interesting chat. I guess it boils down to doing what's true to you because there are many S.Africans who aren't from the township and can't rap in vernac but are great english rappers. Arguably better than American rappers. Great show

[@Gontse.P]

Yesssss! Drop more of this knowledge please!! 🔥🔥

AKA may not be rappin' in vernacular but he reps the country in a major way. His cadence & the references he makes are HOMEBASED sbali

[@pfunzomulaudzi4754]

I just love Scoop 🙇

[@segwatimadisha7690]

I always enjoy these conversations

[@kayz60]

The points here are very valid, but question is...are we doing enough to make sure that the rawness of SA talent is recognized or at least giving it enough attention? Things like the "Mzansi Kwaito, House Music Awards", nobody knows about them because it''s not marketed enough, there's insufficient funding for this or celebrities are not mentioning it enough on social media, free marketing.

In Regards To The AKA Point, I Feel His One Artist In Our Hip Hop That's Doing So Much To Try Not To Sound American, But Still Gets Scrutinised For It, Basically My Question Is What More Does AKA Have To Do To Prove That His Doing The South African Sound. Coz I Mean The Law Of Rap Is 'Talk About What You Know & What You've Been Through' & AKA Is The Perfect Example Of That But I Feel Doesn't Get His Roses Coz His English

Why must niggas be relevant to what the States wanna hear, WE HAVE BILLIONS OF FANS IN AFRICA & THE EUROPEANS ONLY HAVE A COUPLE OF MILLION PEOPLE???

Scoop you very right big bro but SA industry or fans does not realy appropriate vernacular rappers hence you often see rappers draking and chrisbrowning diyele thing its bcoz thy tryna make quick cheese bcoz the end goal of making music is to eat, and the road seems to be a lot longer wen yu not an English rapper or wen yu not doing smthng that is already poping or close to poping💁‍♂️ my opinion
