“The thing about hip-hop today is it's smart, it's insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable.” - Barack Obama
Nelsparta is not only rock ‘n roll, hippies and pop singers but also the cool catz of hip/hop and rap. We have a treasure chest yet to be truly discovered by the rest of the nation. The honest truth is that my knowledge of the genre is limited. But at least I know what the difference is between Jay Z and any other side cap wearing guy with a microphone. South African hip hop is actually different to the USA and I think we have given its own flavour. We have mixed up our languages, our musicians and I’m still waiting for the day that a hip hop song featuring Francios van Coke to hit our music players.
Hip Hop has been around for few years, you might remember those days when Shaggy was “Mister Boombastic” and the only thing cooler than LL Cool J was your Monster Hits tape collection. In dancing the format of hip hop is part of dance competitions along with the foxtrot and the rumba. But these days it has moved up, it got higher than just street credit. It has CEO’, MEC’s and the rest of the followers wearing grooving clothes, caps and no heavy jewellery.
