Yes, South-African Hip-Hop Is In The Forefront In General. Nigerian Rappers Are Kinda Unknown In SA – Cassper Nyovest

Prior to winning best Hip-hop at SoundCity MVP. South African rapper, Refiloe Phoolo famously known as Cassper Nyovest, had an exclusive interview with Joey Akan of PulseNG, where he talked about African Hip-hop in general and the state of Hip-hop in Nigeria.

Commenting on the controversial 2017 single “You Rappers Should Fix Up Your Lives” where M.I Abaga admitted that South African rappers are dominating the Hip-hop scene in Africa. Cassper agrees with M.I Abaga, stating as quoted:

“Yes, South African Hip-hop is in the forefront of African Hip-hop in general. It might not be as popular as it is in South Africa in Nigeria. But I know for a fact that the rappers from Nigeria are kinda unknown in SA,” he says

“If we talk about crossing over, I know that a lot of people in Nigeria know about my music. I know that in Kenya and Ghana it’s the same thing.

“I’m not just talking about me, I’m talking about the movement. Sarkodie is big in Ghana, but are there other rappers who are as big as Sarkodie from Ghana? The South African Hip-hop movement is big across, also in London, New York…we are out there performing in different countries.”

Cassper also confessed the topic is controversial as he tried to explain his point further. “Me saying that might offend people here. They might feel that I’m taking shots at Nigerian music. But that’s not the deal. If we are to discuss in terms of numbers and appeal across the world, it’s just the way it is.”

Well, Cassper Nyovest is quite right saying this topic is controversial. But it is also advisable to note that everything he said in the interview are facts. South Africa is in the forefront of African Hip-hop, and Nigerian rappers are unknown in South Africa.

He is right. How can we dominate rap when we celebrate wack noisemakers like olamide, phyno, lil kesh and small doctor? People who can't even string two proper English sentences together and whose only expertise is coming up with stupid and vulgar slangs. This mediocre rappers can't even get beyond west Africa with their rubbish music. We relegate real talented rappers like M.I to the background and celebrate quack rappers and expect to be taken serious by others? It can't work

Doll ti take over....

who is he?

None of business

True though

he's about attacked online for this and he knows it lol just looking for controversies

whats my business with SA pple, all i know is that Messi is better than Ronaldo
