 Slikour after releasing this song he received calls for anonymous people threatening to kill him.This shows that other people regard this song as disrespecting blacks and are not happy of that because they are busy threatening him through cellphone calls.The people who commented on Slikour's new song "Blacks are fools" are complaining about this song because they feel that it is putting black people's perceptions in an appalling manner.Slikour claims that those people who think that his new song is offending them they have misunderstood the messages.Slikour said that he wrote this song based on what white people say about blacks.He says that "blacks we are lazy,that is why foreigners take our jobs".Slikour told Sunday world that he was not intended to hurt black people on his new song. He also apologised to those he offended them.Slikour is now promising the people that he swallowed his words and also apologised to those who threatened to kill him.



 I think this new song by Slikour will never get support from the public because it is regarded as controversinal to blacks.AZAPO president Jacob Dikobo also aired his views about this new song by Slikour.Jacob Dikobo said that he is encouraging people not to buy that song and radio stations to ban it.for more information:read more

South African hip hop musician Jub Jub his real name is Molemo Maarohanye facing charges of murder and attempted murder and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.Jub Jub is one of the well known South African hip hop artist who recently get involved in a car accident which killed  four innocent school children on their way back from school. Jub Jub and his friend Themba Tshabalala were allegedly drag-racing when their cars ploughed into a group of school children.This incident happened in Protea North in Soweto on 8 March 2010.Jub and his friend Themba were found guilty for drag-racing on public road driving while they are drunk.They were also found guilty for using drugs and drive while drinking .The evidence that they used drugs were found in their urine samples.Their urine sample conducted by  forensic analyst Van Rooyen reportedly contained the following kind of drugs:

•   Cocaine
• Codeine
• Benzoyl codeine         
• Nicotine
•  Paracetamol

I think drugs ruined his reputation and his music career because people are now calling him a murder.Jub Jub faces charges of murder and attempted murder and driving while drunk and using drugs.Jub Jub since after the accident he is no longer doing well in music because many people want his music to be cancelled after what he did.Jub Jub had never release any album since after the accident.I think if it was not about drugs which ruined his reputation,Jub Jub would be far in his music career.The most important thing especially if you are a celebrity is a good reputation, if you have a bad reputation this will negatively affect your career. read more

MZANSI HIP HOP STILL STRUGGLING TO GET ENOUGH SALE

Insufficient sales and Lack of support from local and international people

Msansi hip hop is one of the South African music which is still struggling to get enough sales.Insufficient sales towards Mzansi hip hop is due to lack of support from their local people as well as international people.The reason why hip hop artists not getting enough sales is that majority of people in South Africa prefer international Hip Hop than Mzansi hip hop.You may find that many people in South Africa are buying original Cd's from international hip hop artists, but they fail to buy original Cd's from their local artists.Another issue is that there are only few people around the world who are familiar with Mzansi hip hop,that is the main reason why Mzansi hip hop is unfamiliar on other people around the world.This shows that Mzansi hip hop artists are not able to grow enough sales due to lack of support from their local people as well as international people.

For me i think it will be effective if people in South Africa can give more support to their local artists than international artists.Again it will be more effective if South African artists can rap only in English because many people all over the world will be able to get the meaning of their messages.Rapping in different South African languages will not take Mzansi hip hop abroad because other people around the world will not be able to translate their meaning of their messages.If your massages are not understandable because of the language that you are using people around the world will never get attracted by your music and this will lead to insufficient sales and support from the people.Lack of sales also putting South African Hip Hop artists in a bad perception.This issue  needs Public Relations efforts to put them in a good perception by encouraging South Africans to support their local artists in order to grow their sales.What are other ways that can help Mzansi hip hop artists to get enough sales?read more
