AKA On Having "Yes Men" Around Him, The Beef With Sizwe Dhlomo & His Regrets

[@mynameisgift]

I wish Aka could be interviewed by MacG.

[@mrapic6886]

😂😂😂😂 that will be lit

[@ntombikayisengwenya7348]

I fully agree with this

[@brandonmokhema1777]

It wouldn’t work 😂 MacG has no filter and his emotional intelligence is questionable. From this interview you can tell that Aka doesn’t really like criticism - his energy changes. I don’t feel like MacG would be able to read that energy change so it would go left really quickly.

I think AKA has grown.... there truly is a different energy about him... some may call it boring but I think I’m feeling the “calmness”....

[@arthaisaaxx6173]

People are so used of the Casper AKA subject that they fail to know them or understand them as persons or Artists or businesses men. We are more focused on the Negative things than the positives.

“If you’re a fan of me it says something about you” I really like that AKA.

[@dripcheck3209]

Me too

[@Godsgift3573]

Some people wanted him to talk about Cass, boxing match & some spitful things but AKA doesn't hold such in his heart... I really like this interview, probably one of the best, he kept it about himself.

[@arthaisaaxx6173]

This interview was great and enjoyable. If you were expecting the Casper subject, the boxing match and shit, please go to the other side. Sometimes it's just great to listen to someone, get to know them and their shit without controversies. Been listening to this guy's interviews for years, I must say, this was one of his best.

[@keabetsweseremane8827]

OOOOOHHH! thats soooo deeep! "the day that people stop paying attention, might actually be the start of my life, for real"

The statement about throwing the rules out the door really put the EP into perspective for me. Love it or hate it, we've been using the wrong rubric to judge it

[@enricomeyer9191]

great interview !!! Isnt it ironic how AKA looks like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and also has that kinda attitude lol but hes dope tho hes confident this was good questioning great interview slikour ef da haters really !! Big Ups grootman (applause)

[@Cbabalo_Kold]

Genuine respect between brothers.... Slik is mature and full of wisdom Aka realizes that...

[@aobakweCup326D]

True man..but I think, slik is thinking, let him have his way...... Keep yes man around him

[@fishingforcandyBW]

yeah!!!! he is weak, doesn't wanna piss him off

[@siyaklaas]

Slikour wasn't himself, he allowed his bias of being a Cas fan to take over. As a result, that made him ineffective in this interview.

[@lulludust553]

AKA has BEEN overpowering Slikour.... Even during his interview about the formation of his now collapsed management company, Beam Group, he simply took over.

[@susanbaluka7520]

The part that really got me from this entire interview is, "Ain't that right baby?" 😭😭💔💔. Rest in Peace you two 🕊️🕊️

[@amarula7589]

Jazz Boom Bap,would be tough work on AKA, however because his so politically involved it might make him be more than just a Legend, it might make him immortal especially since South African rap history is not well known. I'll be waiting for that ALBUM.

[@Mosa_2.0]

This interview is okay maybe not what y'all expected but it's nice it's chilled .

[@tumeloramzeey0123]

Mmh AKA's mindset is so powerful perhaps if he was like this 10 years earlier things wouldn't have eneded they way it did with people like tsibip

[@luckytlou9320]

It's like he told slikour don't ask me about the boxing match

The way slikour is able to manipulate aka's ego and emotions is incredible. Slikour is a genius.

[@simamkelemva8010]

Born sales man.I thought of that too

[@SaneleMthethwa]

AKA has grown since that interview that went viral when Slikour was giving his "grootman/O advice". Slikour is still holding on to being an OG but AKA is his own man now.

[@IX_9.]

Great conversation gents, didn't have the feeling of an interview which is normally boring so big ups...

[@bogosimotshegwa4375]

AKA was right here, you can't have the same energy in every single album. It is impossible, because the time is different, the context is different, and the inspiration is different. I think it's unfair to always expect or compare new albums to old albums.

Some people really don't, with AKA you can tell he don't listen to anyone's music because he doesn't sound like anyone

[@KgothatsoMmolediMedia]

@@khosta6690 there are few songs aka made that sound like casspers' songs, they all listen to other artists, they wont admit it because it will make news, both cassper and aka say they respect each other and the music they just dont like each other personally, check their interviews, how can you respect something you have never heard. if aka says i listen to cassper the newspapers will go nuts, even if it isnt capper, admitting they listen to anyone in their genre is like saying im a fan, and in hip hop where they sell us egos that wont happen.
