i fucking love King Kapisi, i live in the UK and have played this to alot of my mates and now they listen to them alot. Plus we play ball so naturally the video is of the chain. RAISE UP FOR KING KAPISI
King Kapisi was good when he rapped with a natural accent, now he's rapping with an american accent, just wrecked it. That's why Aussie Hip Hop is way better than NZ Hip Hop because they rap in natural accents, NZ rap like americans and try to be too american.
Hell yeah bro, I've been banging my head to NZ hip hop for ages, but thats what i love about ozzies. They rep where they're from Brad Strut, Mnomic Ascent, Hilltop Hoods are mad!!!! King Kaps is still one of the maddest mcees ever, but trust me, he ain't putting on any accent, I've met him, and this is natural bro.
rap has its roots in America, therefore they should rap in American accents. You cant rap with our accents, its sounds wrong, and dont get me wrong I am proud to be a kiwi, but this is why only now kiwi hip hop has broken thru to the US. Aussie hip hop still uses aussie accents, the americans wont embrace that
americans dont need to embrace it, im pretty sure they wouldnt give a shit about nz hip hop. it isnt about imitating an american its about showing it through your culture and surroundings through hip hop. by acting american with the accents and the style just shows americans that people try to hard to be american. aus hip hop is very respected because they show aussie culture as well as hip hop. fake accents just kills the integrity. i dislike nz hip hop because it tries too hard to be american.
its not all about culture though, if you listen to the lyrics of NZ hip hop they are always shouting out to NZ in one way or another. Aussie hip hop is only really respected in Australia. Nobody else listens to it. Scribe has broken through to the Aussie market, Savage has recorded heaps of singles with Akon and other American rappers as well as getting on the soundtracks of 2 movies. P money has also done the same as Savage. Part of the essence of making it sound good is to keep its roots.
but truthfully they are all clearly fake wanna be's and it doesn't take a genious to figure that out. maybe they did get on a few tracks with american emcees but that doesnt stop them from being fakes. but hey it might be cool over there to try to be american but over here we keep it real.
i listen to this song yestaday in the movie tattooist wicked movie lol :]
