PDotO Opens Up On Why He’s Tired Of Rapping. PDotO has always been an integral contributor to the rap culture in SA. His music has not only gained him massive notoriety, rather he has inspired many and evoked emotion with real-life storytelling.
The Pretoria-based rapper emerged from a successful time this year with the release of the “Son Of Nomsa Mixtape.” The project delved further into the rapper’s personal and spiritual life path, providing his audience with yet another batch of consistently excellent raps.
However, PDotO took time to explain some of his lyrics from songs such as Leviticus Freestyle and Moments where he’s rapping about quitting rap music. In the “Leviticus Freestyle,” the 38-year-old rapper said; “It hurts to give this all away No missing pages Escaped the deformity the Game Embrace.”
As if that is not enough, the rapper exuded the same sentiments in the track “Moments” where he said; “I guess we ridin’ out Inspiration hittin’ me, thinkin’ what I should write about Honestly my passion for music is truly dyin’ out I try to write It’s hard when you done said it all, I’m cryin’ out.”
Speaking during an interview on Massive Metro Podcast, PDotO explained the meaning behind the said lyrics opening up about being tired of rapping. The rapper said that he needs a new challenge or inspiration since he can also tap into film writing as well.
“Like I said, music is an extension of the present, at that time I was really feeling like I’m tired of this, I’m tired of rapping, I’m tired of raps. I just dont feel challenged by it anymore,” he said. “I’m just tired, I’ve always been a fairly talented writer so I also write movies and I want to write other things.
“Like more things rather than just music. So I was just going through that spell, I’m tired, I need to be inspired again kinda thing,” he added. PdOtO also said that even though he’s not completely quitting making music he will only record new music when he’s inspired by something.
“There’s music that I’ve already dropped that you guys can reflect on. Music doesn’t get old, real music doesn’t get old,” he said. “We still listen to Bob Marley, so the music doesn’t get old, there’s always gonna be that song that comforts you or takes you through your depression. They are there those songs, we’ve created them.”
