Hip hop Trends
There is no
doubt that hip hop music was on a lower level before the advent of Cassper
Nyovest , he came into the industry knowing very well that he will change the
hip hop game in a major way even though within his change he created bad blood
between him and his fellow mates which also included a well-known hip hop star
who has been in the entertainment industry for a while AKA. Cassper Nyovest
dissed AKA on his song titled “
Phumakim” this song caused a lot of controversy
between the two rappers and even got to a point where it was reported that AKA
and his guys pulled a gun on
Cassper Nyovest at the LIVE amp studios where they
were meant to be performing at the same show. Cassper Nyovest did not take it
very nicely as he quickly updated his fans about the incident and that cause
the two rappers to trend on twitter as they were intrigued by the situation
that took place.
This
was an ongoing process because of the way it blew out of proportion. Everyone on
twitter and instagram who followed the “BEEF” that was going on between these
rappers made them want to include themselves into the situation. For example
if Cassper Nyovest would post something negative about AKA people would respond
and tried showing which rapper they supported that greatly affected peoples
views and attitude towards buying their music and also they showed their
perspective of the situation through social media. It also influenced me into
wanting to listen to their music cause I was curious about the big deal which
was trending on our social networks everyday. The people who called themselves
fans and still do had to remain and show which rapper they supported. The funny
part about the whole beef is when the two rappers
decided to squash the “BEEF”
it left everyone hanging I will just say the followers who supported
AKA were left not knowing whether to start buying Cassper Nyovests music now since
they have finally made peace or continue to support our day 1 main man who has
been in the game for sometime.. well I like them both I did not take any sides
from the begin I just listened to good music I truly don’t understand why they
started beefing and causing all this negativity between them but it was a great
opportunity for them to get sales on their albums and trend on twitter and other
social networks. But i just want you guys to think about this was this whole "beef" a publicity stunt??
come on Sne, hip hop was not on a lower level.... we have other big names like ricky rick and AKA... ETC THE LIST GOES ON AND ON FOR DAYS. all you can say is the hip hop in SA has grown...
ReplyDeletei have to say im not much of a hip hop fan but after reading the blog and getting an idea what exactly had happened between the two hip hop starts i cant say much but i have never been a fan of AKA but rather Casper i have say i love his music and the fact that its in vernacular most of the time, with AKA i just happen to see a rapper who imitates the american rappers.
ReplyDeleteI am also not a fan of hip hop but I love Cassper Nyovest music. In South Africa we need people like him, people who sing original music and not imitates Kanye West as Sabelisiwe says. His been in the music indursty for a short time but already winning multiple Metro Awards and not forgeting his Metro Awards closing performance, the guy nailed it. You got to love Cassper.
ReplyDelete@kwanele hip hop has grown but I started listening to SA hip hop when cassper came into the game I have his album and he did a very good job. @Sabe yes exactly.@Amanda you know he just scooped 5 awards at the Metros that should mean something the guy is good.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Social media made everything blow up about this beef. Im glad the rappers made up.

ReplyDeleteYes. it wasn't good for the both of them to have tension while in the same field of work.
ReplyDeletei'm glad they finally made peace.
ReplyDeleteYes. it showed maturity between the two rappers.
ReplyDeletepersonally I think that it was a publicity stunt and cassper needed publicity for his brand.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Maropeng but it went too far saying AKA pulled out a gun on him.
DeleteSoo...that didn't happen or is it just assumptions?
DeleteI think the two just made the beef thingy so that they may have publicity

ReplyDeleteyes. i agree with you because now everything is normal and we we are proud of casspers success its really showing now.
DeleteRegardless of what happened between those two, it actually worked perfectly for both artists. I mean they got us sweating blogging about them lol. Without a doubt, social media really helped them.
