Ex Global Shares Why SA Hip Hop Events Are No Longer Attractive To Women
Ex Global Shares Why SA Hip Hop Events Are No Longer Attractive To Women. The current state of South African Hip Hop pales in comparison to the genre’s golden era of 2014 and 2015, during which it reached unprecedented heights, captivating not just the local Mzansi audience but resonating across the entire African continent.
As Amapiano and other music genres experience a surge in popularity, South African Hip Hop has significantly fallen behind in terms of its appeal. Ex Global has offered insights into why he thinks the genre is currently facing a challenging trajectory.
Ex Global has played a noteworthy role in shaping the culture and he shed light on various factors that have contributed to the declining interest and attendance at South African hip-hop events. Taking to Twitter (X), the former Wrecking Crew member said that the SA Hip Hop events have lost appeal because the music being released is not up to par and is not attractive to all genders but rather only accommodating the gents.
Ex Global added that the music is scaring away women (baddies) and the raps are not motivating enough for one to feel good and rock up for a good time. “I’m not going to lie to y’all, the raps are scaring away the baddies from the shows, that’s why SA hip hop events are just squad deep nikkas. Where’s the music that makes you feel like dressing up and balling?? The musical touch? The feel good touch? Make you dance?” Ex Global said.
In a segment of the Culture Chopp on the Choppin’ It With Bhuda T Podcast, Rashid Kay pointed out the noticeable absence of South African Hip Hop fans from events, suggesting that their participation—or lack thereof—contributes to the current decline of the genre. He pointed out that a significant portion of the audience comprises Amapiano enthusiasts, aligning with Ex Global’s recent observations on the genre’s challenges.
“The part of the problem is the Hip Hop audience because when you go to these events, 90 to 95% of the audience is Yano fans,” Rashid Kay said. “Hip Hop n**gs are broke, they dont spend, with all the promoters, with all the venues they like these guys are not buying at the bar, they sneaking ngud’. A Hip-hop market is not a spending market,” he added.
