Like the music. However, Massai culture is pastoral and resistant to cultural change (and not in Tanzania). The exploitation of this culture for personal benefit is not right.

[thedonmassawe]

@mscrossjr If you knew anything about X Plastaz you would know that there has never been a hip hop group in Tanzania dedicated to the preservation of culture and resistance to the materialistic culture that exists in hip hop more than them. The fact that some of these guys are actually Masaai renders the point about culture exploitation pointless since all they are doing is exhibiting their culture to the world

[ladysoulshine1]

X-plaztic represents the Masai way of life and challenges

authentically and brilliantly through their music. I play them here in the USA on my show the Mama Africa (Afrika ) show Sundays on WMPG.org radio. I am waiting to hear more from them! Peace

[twigamrefu]

you play reggae too? find ½ under the name sunemushendwa, let me know what you think--- A.town Original.

Much love and respect from Los Angeles, California, USA!

[reptilekid1997]

That is so strange sounding, but in a cool way.

[soopadoopashadsta]

this is REAL hiphop... compliments from Italy! KEEPITREAL... Peace

[comemierda322]

I respect this group because they respect and love their culture enough to be unique..

[kierent73]

Probably my fave track by my fave African hip-hop group! I'm a Welshman living in Georgia, USA. I also like Gidi Gidi Maji Maji and I saw Mabulu live - they're excellent - like a Mozambican Arrested Development - in that, like AD, they have members from in their 20s to in their 70s!

[ShizaJewel]

I saw these kids perform live in a park in Maastricht in 2001. They were great! I found their album a few years later---it's a must for any rap aficianado. They've never toured the U.S., but I wish they would!

[tozim12]

Wewe mtoto wa Kenya unaongaea nini? Maana naona unaongea pumba tupu, hawa X-plastaz ni bomba mbaya wewe sema unaona mtimanyongo kiaina. Kama huna la kuongea kula kona na huo ukenya wako, wakenya wenzako wenyewe wanawakubali.

[Jontwa]

Hey, My name is Erick Fungo or you can just call me "O'Nkosi". Ninaishi New York kwa sasa ila ni Mtanzania halisi. Hawa jamaa ni kiboko. Jambo la kwanza wanautangaza utamaduni wa kitanzania katika mfumo wa wakati huu. Kiboko sana hiyo. Wala msikatishwe tamaa na hawa Jamaa wasemao wawezalo kusema. Wao wamefanya nini cha maana?. Endelezeni juhudi na ubunifu. Mtafika mbali.

O'Nkosi Fungo.

[Crazeski]

Hey, they are quite good, liked the flow, but my Keyan is not too good lol

[2007Simba2007]

Usituyeyushe bibie! Kenya hamtuwezi kwa muziki huu, hata kwa chembe! Strange you gotta the guts to say it 'sucks' while its one of your fav tracks!

[juma4]

zugu pole sana kama kweli unasikiliza kenyan music tu mbona una feature kimya kimya ktk profile yako. halafu linagnisha mada inaongelea nini?

[kallithdragonna]

@juma4 ni kweli kwamba kuongoza ni rapa wafu? njia yoyote ya kujua kama mabaki ya kundi bado ni karibu? mwanamke ni ajabu!

[warcraft473]

@kallithdragonna i habari hiyo pia, i uhakika ingawa

[ZOGOKLAN]

crap! these dudes suck thats why i only listen to kenyan music

[mbezifinest]

And thats why Kenyan music is a muthafuckin joke.

"MIMI NI CMB BLAH BLAH BLAH".

I'd rather listen to a Pig freestyle than Kenyan crap.

[cliqmode]

Hahahaha, hakuna haja ya wasee kubishana hapa at Kenya this, Kenya that. Si mnajua wa'Kenya ni wadeadly in Africa. Hatuna compe be it economywise, skillwise, citywise hata corruptionwise. Now we taking over the world soon. Hata huku Amerika ... tunarepresent .... tuka a few steps away from the presidency. Holla
