Scoop Criticizes SA Hip Hop Artists For Caring More About Themselves Than The Culture

Scoop Criticizes SA Hip Hop Artists For Caring More About Themselves Than The Culture. On another episode of the PopCast Scoop expressed sentiments which implied that SA hip hop artists are selfish.

The PopCast which consists of Speedsta, Vigilante, Scoop and Miss Pru got into another discussion about SA hip hop, which saw them express views based on their observations of the genre.

Amongst a number of points they raised, the one which stood out was the one of Scoop Makhathini who stated how the artists care about themselves more than they do about the genre.

“Hip-hop artists are thinking of themselves as just an artist in hip-hop. They are not thinking about the whole culture. Bearing in mind that people have done a lot to make sure they have the platform that they have now and it seems like some of the veteran hip-hop artists are like ‘I’ve got mine, these kids need to sort themselves out.’ It’s a big problem.”

He said that artists need to remember how they got to where they were before snubbing the younger generation.

“They got there through someone’s sacrifice and making sure there is a playing field for them to work with. They should be making sure that the playing field is twice as large and yields twice as much. Then the older guys will say the young boys don’t listen.”
