Many people think that Kwaito and South African Hip Hop are the same.Why many people regard
Kwaito and Hip hop as the same music?.Kwaito is the first South African favourite music because it has been recognised since from a long time ago.South African Hip Hop has been recognised few years ago.Hip Hop music is the contemporary music in South Africa.The are many differences that separate Kwaito and South African Hip hop.The differences are as follows:
-
- Kwaito is mostly played in Townships whereas Hip Hop mostly played in Suburb.
- Kwaito dance includes Pantsula dance whereas Hip Hop dance include styles such as breaking, locking, and popping.
- Kwaito includes township
tsotsitaal(gangster slang) whereas Hip Hop include rap and rhythmic styles.
The differences between kwaito and South African hip hop mentioned above is that both have their own cultures and using different styles.Many people are still arguing that kwaito and South African hip hop are the same.If Kwaito and South African Hip Hop are the same why their styles are different?
kwaito and hip hop are more or less the same,because the message may be the same but tunes and rhythem,and their ultimate goal when they deliver music is to build relationships with the public.
ReplyDeletethey might be the same in a way that they are both aimed at entertaaining people and sending out messages in a way of singing.there is also slight differences between the two as they are listened to by different people who have different styles.and ofcourse their aim is to build an image for their genre/category.
ReplyDeletewhen listening to the two Genres, they deliver the same message.when you look at todays kwaito its way different from the orignal kwaito of back in the ninties,the two complement one another there is no longer that element that sets them apart. for instance when you listen to lyrics by zola and compare them to that of a.k.a they both sing about getting out of the hood and improving their lives and how they actually did that. so for me as a music fan I personally feel that the only difference between the two genres is their names(hip hop and kwaito).
ReplyDeleteI love both of them, it doesnt metter what type of music, but as long they have a massege.
ReplyDeletebut what is their differences.
DeleteThey are similar(bits and style) but whats important is the message they send to the people.
ReplyDeletethey are not similar kwaito breaking throw township message, where else hipopo is fully of swagger, if you may listen to tear gas and Big nuz are much different just we are confussing ourselves
ReplyDeleteit seems as if Kwaito is dead, However, it is still alive to some people, especially in the township as u said. hiphop is now the greatest favourable music to almost evry one around the world.
ReplyDeleteyes i think so the more time change the more we explore with different gernes of music
ReplyDeleteman you are saying hip hop doesn`t involve tsotsi taal,I don`t think that is true because the likes of PRO,Molly,Siya Shezi etc include tsotsi taal in their music
