Given that hip-hop is a genre that is almost as old as our democracy, it is not surprising that it has undergone numerous changes in South Ah. From the time it was an underground artist-led passion genre to its transformation into a lucrative career that produced millionaires like AKA, Cassper Nyovest, and Kwesta, to mention a few.
nevertheless, after what is thought to have been the “Golden Era” of the genre from the early to the late 2010s. Since then, the genre has lost ground to the Yanos’ now-dominant sound. However, there has been a focus in recent years on getting hip-hop back to the top of pop cultural relevance rather than having legendary artists merely tweet their emotions rather than writing lines.
As a result, when Big Zulu, the face of iNkabi Records, debuted his divisive new single 150 Bars, hip-hop fans embraced a track that encouraged artists to express their emotions on a rhythm rather than through social media. While several artists accepted the dare, none other than Emtee, a well-known hip-hop artist, made it obvious he was not enjoying the jabs made at them in the song.
Emtee lets his followers know that he doesn’t find Big Zulu’s new trash song amusing. The weekend goes to Big Zulu because, with the publication of 150 Bars Ke Hip Hop Dawg, he was able to generate national discussion on his own.
Rappers from all over the nation emerged from their hiding places to respond, some positively and some—just let’s say the battle lines have been drawn—indifferently.
As you are all aware, Inkabi released the track on Friday, which caused the South African hip-hop genre clock to stop for a few hours. AKA and the Ambitiouz Entertainment Record label, which Emtee belonged to, were targeted by Inkabi.
The challenge to drop 150 Bars to a beat was enthusiastically accepted by a few of the biggest personalities in the game.
At some point he said ” whoever knows the he should tell him what did I do to him” Implying that he doesn’t know him , but Twitter was quick to expose him as an old picture of him and Big Zulu was posted , showing that they know each other for a long time
