“You’ve condemned yourselves to historic irrelevance,” Nota Addresses SA Rappers

“You’ve condemned yourselves to historic irrelevance,” Nota Addresses SA Rappers. Most people may tire to hear about Nota Baloyi’s stinging views including rappers but as one of the influential figures in the industry he expresses views he hopes would lead to a better change, according to his perceptions.

On Wednesday Flvme dropped his album Dead Or Alive as promised, though the attack wasn’t initially on his body of work but things escalated between the two. Nota made an example using DOA that SA rappers are copycats that aren’t making any historical change to the game. These raw views were accompanied by a sentiment of a loss of identity.

“SA Hip-hop is alive but unwell… We’ve lost our identity. In this day and age you don’t need a label, you just need to copy the hottest US rapper of the moment and you’re good to go,” wrote Nota using Flvme and Wizkid I’m comparison.

“South African rappers are judged on how well they can copy Americans, that’s just the sad truth. Congratulations though to all wannabes that completely disregarded the blueprint we gave them, you’ve condemned yourselves to historic irrelevance,” he added.

He is known as the most controversial music mogul who holds an authoritative role in RiSA, can his views be considered for change?
