Behind The Bars: Zubz Decodes Stogie T's Sway In The Morning Freestyle

[@tumelopule7960]

Slikour on life,can we please get Zubz his own show where he just breaks down and disect bars.....it can be linked to verse of the month and he can just break down the verse that takes the 1st place. I think it would be dope

[@NkataM]

I like this idea bro, he really is dope with breaking down bars and rhyming schemes

[@slikouronlife]

Im always open

[@masonwabemredlana1088]

Phenomenal idea Pule.

[@ivynmaseko7318]

I second this

@@slikouronlife thanks for being open minded 2019 am waiting for zubz

[@njabulondlovu6732]

I feel like I just came out of a serious Hip Hop lecture. I'll never drop out of this university. Big Up's Zubz.

[@slikouronlife]

Lol he dope

[@kaonetsatsi3019]

The analytics are crazy on point. For me the mixed messages are the way the world views south africa. They see Trevor as what south Africa is.. But there's so much more.. And The Fela... Line speaks to what most people of color have been marginalized as... Just dancers and entertainers.. Instead of delta which is an oil company in Nigeria... Peep the dichotomy..... Comedian VS Struggle icon.... Musician VS commodity(oil) and that's just from those bars. I can go on

[@veshn229]

I think we was more specifically referencing the wars in the Nigerian Delta between USA backed oil companies and local ethnic groups

[@atemkuol6029]

Stogie T is The best African rapper of all times Love from South Sudan.

[@johnphiri4109]

If anyone at Slikour is listening, this is the kind of stuff the culture needs. We need more people like Last letta to school us, so that the new generation can carry on tradition. Hip hop is meant to evolve but the roots should remain intact. Beyond that though, the Slikour team is breaking new ground, congrats and well done fam.

[@slikouronlife]

Shout out

[@ndumisoc.dlamini7352]

I've watched this verse a dozen times now and I can't get sick of it. Stogie T cleaned up the mess Casper and AKA did on Sway in the morning. Shout out Nasty C for starting the clean up campaign. Only if you can get the legend himself to dissect his bars. That'd be awesome. Make it happen Slikour, it wouldn't be that hard for you.

[@thuthukakunene9325]

Zubz should open a rap academy. Tumi has always been a vivid painter of stories. The best African freestyle

'Headphone music in a parallel world' is still the best album I've heard in SA HipHop. Truly legendary! Zubz is the man.

[@GABRAN47]

after watching Stogie T on sway all I could think about was Zubz and Proverb. These 3 are the best..

[@Thulani56]

Maaannnn.... This freestyle was super dope from the moment it dropped. None like it. And now Zubz has just made it a 100 times better just by decoding it. I didn't think it'd be possible. Shout out to the greats!!!

[@mandlasithole7689]

Thanks to Last Letter for disecting unarguably the best ever african freestyle, and arguably top 5 of the greatest ever Sway in the morning freestyle (content-wise).. I don't care what people think, but Stogie T, Zubz and Verb have lines that can leave even the greats in this hip hop craft, behind their bars (if u knw what i mean).. They should think about dropping something as a trio (performance of ur life, sex, drugs and alcohol type), and feature cats like Golden Shovel, Reason, etc).. WE NEED MORE CONSCIOUS STAFF!!! Thanks Slikour

Word to Slikour for creating a platform where the true fathers of SA hip hop can shine on with their excellence in this era determined to render them obsolete. Dope, educated analysis by one of thee best to ever bless the mic, Last letter. May I suggest that you hit us with a Ready D Mix once in a while to preserve that old school "scratch" djaying skill as well? Peace!

[@ndodazondo6187]

Zubs bro, I missed the fatherhood theme with regards to Mandela, Fella and Trevor. Also that fatherhood theme ties in with the fatherhood (hip hop pioneer) theme that Stogie is highlighting when he talks about "having written above their heads'" he is our guy that we never gave gave the right amount of respect to for what he gave to the hi-hop movement in South Africa.

[@vovobani1708]

Big upz to the decoding. If all MC's would write like this and be intentional about it, the present would be preserved for future generations. I love an album that is full meaningful content, coherence and reverence to reality rather than just fiction and only imagination of "chicks with three boobs and flying cars". One can have a few songs of imagination to encourage dreaming big, to give hope and a fill good vibe but we also need the educational and restraint side to build a nation.

[@njabulovilakazi888]

[@tumeloseadira8224]

@@slikouronlife Yes Thought gave him props (deservedly so). Tumi, just like Thought has never been wack; as a matter of knowledge, he's the best MC in Africa ever. But it should be acknowledged that although Thought has been tight through out his career, he now has evolved into a newly discovered MC-form. And Tumi will soon reache that form and most probably surpass it as well. What I'm simply saying is that Tumi is a Jedi, but Thought is 'Thee Ultimate Jedi'. I mean Styles P said that about Thought. Who's gonna argue with Styles P?

Our history is bloody but bloody unique....

[@Julius_Moses]

Come on people , this is not decoding, Zubs did not decode anything here! 12:53 later I still don't understand anything Stogie T said, rather bring the artist to decode their verses themselves.

[@michaelohentse4952]

Yoh my guy, that's a loaded verse. Everything is fire in it, it requires a lot of general knowledge and a bit of reading to catch those verses. 1. They are lukewarm/I'm in true form/38 like Jordan in Utah, killing them with the flu shot- in 1997 during game 5 of the NBA finals, MJ had flu but he still went on and scored 38 points, this also references to the fact that if your temperature is 38 it means you have a fever, you are hot, they are lukewarm, get it? 🤣 2. Fam I'm a Giant amongst ants, like that tyrant from Baghdad /who saying (Hussein) I can't hang on camera- Sadam Hussein, the former president of Iraq was hung live on TV after being found guilty for crimes against humanity. 3. The diary of a mad man who should have been stamped champ but I wrote above their heads like Anne Frank- Stogie has always been a genius lyricist but ddnt get the recognition he deserved, people just ddnt get his music, it flew over their heads. Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who was trapped in an attic during the Nazi war, she wrote a diary while hid up there. Wrote above their head, get it? 🤣 4.Am disliked but I don't give too many fucks, when they set the bar I look back and tell them where it was- niggas in the industry don't like him but he doesn't give a fuck because they are not even in the same league. 5. Sway I put your certified hyenas in elephant graves- if you have watched Lion King you will know what he's talking about. Also, Sway calls the baddest rappers with dope freestyles "Hyenas" so he says that he's gonna bury all the so-called Hyenas that were there before him.
