Cassper Nyovest fights with his homeboy

#FillupTheDome is an exciting venture for South African artists. It will benchmark to all "important" people in the corporeal world as to how far  or how capable a local artist is or can be. The journey for award winning artist Cassper Nyovest whose real name is Refoloe Phoolo has been rocky. He had an encounter with AKA at a club before the release of  MIMI which trended on twitter for a reasonable period of time. He addressed the media in the song for reporting lies about him and he further mentioned that it was because they are jealous of his success.  The song was warmly received but later questioned by people on social networks who accused the Mahikeng born star of bragging. In Cassper's defense we made the following observation. It is okay for a rapper to talk about his struggles but he cannot talk of his success ? that is redundant.

Cassper has been replying tweets and facebook posts with the hash tag #Fillupthedome of late . We came across a squabble between him and Fifi Cooper's deejay. This is someone who potentially went to school with him and hang out with him during their come up days. This is a week after Cass' prodigy Chad da Don said he wont help him fill up the dome. WHooa hectic

BURGERSFORT WANTS PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS

We congratulate everyone who has created blogs in the name of pushing Hip Hop as a whole while the blogs serve their close friends only.

HIP HOP NEWS

It is difficult to keep your head up as an upcoming rapper. You to know how to battle , diss and make real good tracks. It would seem some have covered the elements above while others hide in plain sight while confronted with the opportunity to prove their "SKILLZ".
Two months ago we(Hip Hop Cares) came under the gun ourselves with Lil chief , Cru mayor , Yoggy Bar and Dizz.  Big Swazi put out a public display of warm klapping on a track called Disaster Rhymes . He accused us of hate , He went in on Dizz (2 whole verses) and dissed Shiela Mmutle as well. It wasnt long before he was silenced by Dizz's response called "BLUNT" in which he calls him out on dissing women and pure rap skills. This lead to the two emcees deciding to finish this battle at our winter event (THIS JULY).

On the other hand , Lil Chief , Cru mayor and yoggy bar did not reply. It is understandable as they were not the subject of the track. The excuses that come with not replying was as follows : He has low sound quality , He is not worth it , he wants attention , I dont do diss tracks  , i just do good music. We at Hip Hop Cares say the above is "UnHip-Hoply" of these rappers.

Just when the dust has settled. Genesis announced that Monster saint is joining their stable, subsequently the trio went to do a feature with King Marvel(Cru mayor's arch rival). Skillz being a member or affiliate of DJ sputla's camp (who leaked disaster rhymes) was also on the track.
#MrPresident did not spare his feelings about Skillz's the track. He went on to call Skillz whack. This silenced the newcomer on social media but he went on to cook a come back in the form of a diss track(link below). When Cru mayor thought he could hide behind the same excuses he previously used, it did not work out. When this story was written he was trending on facebook with funny memes.

The social media splash was so funny that close friends and fans could not hold back but join in the laughter. Everyone expects him to reply and he is surely feeling the heat. He has a choice to either lose credibility with his fans and friends by not replying (he already is) or he can man up and diss Skillz.

Hip Hop is taking over Burgersfort. Pay respect now or forever owe us interest .

Hip Hop Cares Winter event - details coming soon.

Freedom or Fame - A breakdown

I recently discovered that Tuks is financially struggling and for some reason this was not news to my ears. The "bona fela” hit maker disappeared from the scene right after the drop if his album "Footprints". 2 years ago i met a guy who was trying to negotiate airplay with me for the whole album,this dude litterally wanted me to throw in 2 songs on every show i presented. If this was not a red flag that Tuks was majoring in broken finances then i must be an ignorant living being. 

The newspapers splashed this with full scale pictures of the Mahikeng originating star. I want you to note that if it was a mere album promotion they would have just had a corner picture of him but i will save that argument for another day. After the news shattered i found myself picking up pieces of an ex legend with Freedom or Fame trolling the background. BlackLez's bars locked me better and I for the first time heard his cry through the teeth of that whining beat. It was not about Tuks losing his house and car any more, it was far from my co-workers who grew up in Mahikeng who for some stinging reason where popping Champaign on Tuks' downfall. 

Blacklez's choice of beats could have not been better, I mean if you want people to hear what you saying why would go for big hats and over-rated 808's? The basic baseline and synth allowed him to rap at a pace that captures every feeling molded on every word. That "Thank you" Mama ad lib when the song begins had me thinking of Eminem when he cleaned his closet out. There is a paradox here is Lez's closet has already been cleaned out for him. He takes justified shots at MOVE magazine for cleaning his closet. Connect this with what is happening to Tuks right now, it would seem the media is holding every public figure hostage and the ransom is living a perfect life. Reason laments about this situation on the remix of the song. On his verse (Reason) he speaks about how he should have been warned that chasing your dream and inspiring people comes with such a hefty price. The pun lands right when he says “So i can choose to drop 10k when they ask for my 2 cents". The way I hear it , Reason feels like you not given options as a public figure and your finances are connected to this prison called the limelight. Freedom or Fame?

You could either be honest in your music or you could just be broke. Lez compares himself to a modern day Steve Biko right? How many artists have claimed to write what they like but ended up sounding like recylced garbage when the hunger broke through their lips? 

"I have learned to deal with lip like Beyonce" is one of the lines that tell you that this song goes beyond another rapper bragging about how "dope" he is. The line has connection to Jay-z, An artist who broke away from drug dealing life which offered him jail time and no freedom at and actually went into the music industry which offered him ...well freedom. The glaring parallels drawn by Lez's penmanship cannot be ignored. The freedom he speaks of here is not only social freedom but its finacail freedom too hence the dropping of struggle hero names in his verse. 

The freedom to break away from the stereotype of black fathers especially when no meaningful relationship exists between the mother and father. The truth will set you free right? Lez's confesses to being a dead beat dad in the opening stages of his daughter's life but now is mending fences. I am not sure if Reason's last line was sponsored or not but Pabi Moloi definitely heard it.

Prokid basically sums it up as he walks us through "a week with a hustler". We go out there working for money to impress "abo mama mia" while Umama is struggling, now tell me you do not consider that as modern day imprisonment?

I personally urge Blacklez to go around making remixes of this song with all the cats in the industry because i am sure they all have a story to tell on this particular topic.

I want freedom, I want fame, I want money ....is it all possible? Blacklez doesnt seem to think so. Unlike Reason, you have been warned.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - CRU MAYOR #HipHopCaresAwards2014

"Searching for the one???? lookie over here  its the flavor of year ."....

Kabelo "Cru Mayor" Eddy vowed in 2013 that he will be one of the trophy holders at  the Hip Hop Cares Awards 2014. He wrote on facebook that he aspires to win an award and release his mixtape "Memory Box".
Slamming around features here and there with some of Burgersfort's greatest artists,Cru broke into the scene with the hand of Melodramatik on the #PUSHtoTheLimit track(Shout out to Kaytzo).
Cru Mayor has a parallel Cassper Nyovest rise without the AKA opponent glory. Before Hip Hop Cares 3 he had squabbles with a certain King Marvel which he totally trashed on stage, As if that was not enough as a token of success the rookie accumulated a music video by Jack Topera for his song Cru is back which is a rendition of 2pac is back by Rick Ross.

The dreaded scribe went on to impress the hip hop community with his lyrical coherence on his song Mr President and hung up on the wackness on BGF Movement. Cru is bubbling like sodas on a truck and definitely deserved the title ROOKIE OF THE YEAR 2014.

You only get to be the new kid on the block once ....... 2015 is coming.
