Frank Casino Likens Julius Malema’s Impassioned Speech To Hip-hop
Frank Casino Likens Julius Malema’s Impassioned Speech To Hip-hop. The worlds of politics and music are often seen as separate entities, each with its unique language and purpose. However, Frank Casino has offered a provocative parallel that unites two seemingly diverse realms.
The SA rapper underlined the common aspects that bind these two creative forms by drawing comparisons between the tremendous oratory of Julius Malema during the EFF 10th birthday celebration. Malema delivered a closing speech that sent the fully-packed FNB stadium into raptures.
Taking to Twitter, Frank Casino likened the EFF President’s speech to Hip-hop considering how powerful it was and the stage display of Malema which turned him into a political pop star. “THIS IS HIP HOP!!!” Tweeted Frank Casino.
Frank Casino‘s comparison highlights how Julius Malema’s speech and hip-hop music have a common use of vocabulary and rhythm. The infusion of John Cena’s entrance song during Malema’s speech was a final piece to the jigsaw of Frank Casino’s comparison to the EFF President’s speech and Hip-hop.
Just as Malema employs rhetoric to rally support and advocate for change, hip-hop artists use their lyrical abilities to inspire, provoke thought, and challenge the status quo. Both recognize the power of language as a weapon for social change.
