ARE YOU TREATED AS AN INFANT IN THE HIP HOP SCENE

 
 
Hip Hop people have that tendency of saying you just an infant in this Hip Hop movement so went down to the streets of cape town what we really wanted to know is? How does one feel when people start treating them like they don't exist or they don't add value in the movement and how do you respond to such statement? Is it a necessity for people who claim that they been too long in the game to offend you guys like that? And this is what they had to say about the whole thing
 
 
 

Schnida Nyembezi Hell no... I'd like to say it's not about how long you've been doing it BUT it's about now how you're delivering not to disrespect the Legends but respect must come from both sides and do music. So to answer your question it ain't no cat has a right calling others with that.
 
Asanda Gwedz-Naytor Dywili My sister it's not really about how long you been in the game or whatsoever. The game need smart people, people who are willing to educate themselves about the industry. Cape Town Got what it takes but it's full of arrogant acts who don't even have BIO. I actually don't think that to me its offending especially if it comes from someone who haven't achieve ish. Yeah we do know they be those who will be like 'who are you' but end of the day they know what's popping. Our scene need people who will to bring change and bring glory to the careers. All in all my sister, I might have not been in the game for a long time like Ready D, Emile or DAT but it's all about me elevating and making sure I make statement where I go with this entertainment.
 
Anela Nella Wah-li Mrubata For me personally, I've never been called an infant or any other term in the line with that word. Even in If were to be called one, I wouldn't really mind because I've long acknowledged the fact that I'm new in the game or rather an "infant" as you put it, both subconsciously and in my lyrics. Older cats claiming to be in the game long don't necessarily affect me in any way' Personally and in a musical manner. Because at the end of the day I'm not really making music for other cats but rather for the masse
 
Lubabalo Mk-tp First of all Hip Hop is about music nhe . So people have the right to say whatever they wanna say whether they have a decade or 2 years in the industry. It all boils down to make music we make. You can have 2 decades in the industry and still have music that needs tuning here and there, then on the other hand have a MC that has 2 years in the industry doing something way better... Then that is when you know that your DECADE story is nothing but an invalid story when it comes to music. That's what I tell myself when I find myself in that situation. 


Nwabisa Sonkqayi It's not necessary. Old people are always eager to pass their knowledge and wisdom to these younger than them. When you know that you are a Legend only those younger that you look up to you for leadership. A great leader leads by example, and knows very well that respect is earned.
 
Av Kupiso Yes I do feel like treated as an infant but I see that these people doing that don't know nothing about Hip Hop they just talking bull but to them it's like it's not about what you know it's about how long you've been in the game which sucks cause new skills comes with new people and old people can learn new things.

  So yeah BACK TO THE CITY2013!! You know mos umntomnyama, never on time, I got there at past 7 because of other commitments. Nevertheless the show was just on another level , heard that Snarks Ou and Maxhoseni had people dancing and singing along, even outside Cape Town they still have fans. Having seen them both perform I couldn't agree more . There were some new faces as well, well I forgot them. So we were told about this crew from the "states" called EMC , that was a performance they pulled after some group came in and bored us. They did their thing except for the part that they Performed for more than 15 minutes , that got the crowed bored including me guess the saying "too much of a good thing is bad" applied in that situation whereas the likes of Tumi, Reason & Tuks just to name a few only performed for 5minutes then their time was over. We needed to hear more of their performance though, but who are we to chang
