I'm a smufat with a pH 80. Okona swag. Ah, Santi. Hangi kata? Tell me what you know or think about. Sheng ni ni? Sheng ni, how do I put it? Sheng ni slang, kitwenye unafaku wangi, akama it's only meant for a certain audience. For example, mi na ushrat na zongia, kama tu taki to communicate to you, na jokunata putia talking and communicating. Kama mi na ushrat na takaku wangi, na tu taki wa ushkanise, tu zongia slang. It's like a coded language. Na iku everywhere, sheng iku kila place na inenda nga ikiriki, ikii evolve. For example, watu wa rongai na watu wa dandora utapata wa nongia sheng different kabisa. Watu wa karen na watu wa kibera, yes, watu wa nongia sheng, but different. Kama kenda kibera utapata wa nongia completely different from when you say wa karen na toongia. Yes, bana. Yes, bana, language kama hi yon utapata place kama kare, but it's okay na place kama gedorai utapata pia ni different. Like it's just specifically coded for them. Okay. Do you know there are thesis papers out there kuhusu sheng? Like watu wa menda, wa kare search, wa kramdika vitru, and they decided sheng is a mixture of... Okay, sheng by definition swahili na English sheng. Kikuyu. Yes, yes. So now, I think in the initial idea ele kwa kumix English na kusahili. But now we have ata kijaka, kuna kijapesa watas na ni mokoro, kuna vitru za kikuyu, kuna vitru za uluia. Like we are like that together. But why isn't it a national language? I don't know. I think otako in denial. I'm serious. It's like the new generation language, honestly. Like sheng is the language that represents Kenya. Honestly. Ya ni tukusemu kweli. Allah fusheng, wana kama bini kichambuku na wahenga na wahenguzi. Kuna wahenga skwezi. Like vitru kama kwa ground vitru ni different. Honestly, it's up to you kanda rate it. But it's only me semo. Like when I say that you get what I say. Then you kweli. Then you kweli. That's like the new generation language. I don't know how kata. Sheng is a dope language. That language, it's our language. Ina represent Kenya sana. Like mtuwake bongashwana jwa ah, wew wew. Nwa kweitu. Wew kweitu. Ya, definitely. It kind of separates us from the others while we speak. Yaa, exactly. Ya, ma tanzani ya, sigiwi nana. Wew wew wew wew, shawana bas. Fahamu. Like plagi nukon ahadi accent. Is it a problem if you don't know sheng? Ya ni kila umtumu ni hajazi eka ni paka jwe sheng. Amata kwa msham. See some of us to repeat, here group of schools. So it quesak jwezi. But sometimes I think it's a stage when it comes to sheng. Juna patele periodi ya on your youth stage between people from 10 to 30, 10 to speak sheng, but una fi lukipata, certain positions in life, you tend to withdraw from the sheng language. So una patele 2 watua raki onge, you're able to relate kwa kuskia, but you don't want to talk to them the same language. I think it's not something you're supposed to grow with causing you to pay enough, the way you are bringing your kids will determine the reason why you arebign about this sheng. You do not see it's a degree in the sheng and language of the Flandic language I swear to the whole family auxora yama. kutu ome grukuyo sheng culture kuna place flari naero bita uislando Umisa rajui enya dar language ajui deno mulkis ohe ni Lek sheng isa language, it's a whole language But at the same time I'm talking of the aspect of upbringing Will you like to be a brother in… Na authenticity maze authenticity Why not? Yoso, yen yelukwami uilesa, mbona hi gro ni from mentality ni amasa mma Group of school, sodo si baya What is wrong with embracing sheng We understand from the point you have made, nini nimbaya na embracing nisheng This is our language It is what makes us authentic, I swear, honestly Very few, very few Kenyans, let's be real Very few Kenyans, one hasongia straight English I am a straight Swahili Very few of them So, but it's very comfortable for them speaking in sheng Tukona wa tuka kina mikesongko, kina sakaja, kina mutula junior Those guys, like when you wanna say mati you are supposed to outgrow it Those guys are still speaking sheng It's a language Just like put a ceiling on them mati wasi go Coz they are speaking sheng It's something you are supposed to That's why I asked you, are you comfortable bringing your kids? I am very fine, why not? You know, actually let me tell you something You don't need authenticity, you should not forget that You don't need authentic When I come out to call a calligraphali kwa best Afrima, calligraphali only one Ya wimba rap na kisohili, yes But what makes him unique na represent kena Is the fact that you rap na swan And that is sheng Like the moment we embrace our own That was on a play kei music That's how we speak Honestly kuna shushu wa na bunga sheng Ya niwewe, honest, atokimu mongilisha Soa or English hajuwi It's a language It's a very concrete language Okay, vitu ni mbele When I was growing up, okay Nikiwa shule Tukotu na ambiwa eda unongia kizungu sanif And Maxwelli sanif Because now if you speak in sheng Apparently hukwana future Your future say kwa api Because now we have a whole musical situation Genre that has erupted from nino sheng But Pia kwa serikali wu kena kwa interview mazeid Honestly, just tell me honestly Tanapu mwambe rada, mlambez? No, obviously waziz Kuna kitu ya kila place The same way No, listen It depends with where you are And who you are addressing You understand Akuna weni interviu kamewa T-show up na Na sketches Unangets The same way Wuki kuja kwa interview kumewa iwa wu jatakin Mista kupatia job Sabu na faku kujumewa wenye na faku patia job Lekin tia job watu cha tisha If you bring to yu waku Na yu sheng culture Una explain to the interviewer When what is the sheng culture?

We see, Val Mi mi When I was in high school and writing my shopping list there was a time li li And I said three k So I said E kini ni ni He called me E kini ni ni ni ni And I said thousand So you see Ha ni kamaambia Akamembia He iina manisha ata wewe Whesi perform kwa shulia That's why you're writing Misiyonik tumbayana sheng, imagine when engineer, what is the purpose of knowing English. It's sometimes too chachisha bede, naf kagapo enchotu na tuchya, link your physical appearance, the way you speak. It's about skills at the end of the day. I'm going to be in a juna bunga sheng kazi ya ita ndeleya. It depends, come on up in your news rankings, English uten apu bunga English. It just depends on the context. But sheng, otunafakwe kata, it's we supposed to embrace it. It's a good thing. It's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing. It will not happen to you. Kablatu ndeleya, there's a question here. And again, this is out of research. Please, usi, nipiyesi mwanzu kumimbe oval, oh no, no, no, no, no. Val is not trying to say anything, she's just presenting to you facts. So sheng is sometimes linked to criminal activities. Kengasheng miwa sewa geto, amavitu kamaisu. Usi niyanga lego, it is what I have read na nimiongia na watu ni kama iwa ndokunenda. Onasoma the wrong things, where? Onasoma the wrong things, where? No, nimi kujana knowledge. So to refute, amatui kubali. Aisa suni ni nilmono na kacha? Tabuana. Sheng, actually, okay, I'm not the biggest fan of Gengetong. I won't lie to you that I'm the biggest fan of Gengetong. But na appreciate that the fact that sheng imetu amavijana kwa streets. Gengetong ime employ a lot of guys, masikoa like, like they're just, they're not doing crime anymore. Na ono na. At least, Gengetong imetu fanya, at least for a minute, kacha kuskiza a lot of Nigerian, Asian, Zyanian music. Hashtag play case. Onanige. Onaze ima jinkami nimi yenge kuja pani uli zewum sopa. Kujambo daa daa. Aji. So saia ni nimi, naizu na dobitu zi ni wuseb yana. Aki, kujambo. Atu masaheri. What for? What do you ni mean? You, you see you kaikam. This language in primary na iskuli kujambo. Right. But it's too young English. See, wange kisuli basi. Kuskujo na ni ambiatu ujambo, ujambo ni nini. But we should not support the some few lazy people that are such a shame out of criminality. Let us agree that people who talk in shame have a way of dress code, have a way they walk, the way they talk. I speak shame. I look at the way. That's my language. You are behind the scenes. Let us say we are a better motto. This one it is so wrong. Like honestly, this attack na nifana ni jamb. This one is so wrong. Shinga kuna banyana dito criminal activities. But the fact that shame may originate islando. Una geto. Most of the times na nerebeta, most of itima familiar, the islando bit. Juni geto kuna baya to the hustling way, the crazy way of life. So lots of na na shame. It's not the shame. It is not the language. It is umtumonyewe definitely. But seriously na nga julakwa na juwanze kwa na criminal activity. Aji manze. Niza zia kiyonuna hangouts na atuwa na juwa sheng sheng. Stop it. Stop it. That one is a bad influence. Nene twos. Nene twos. Nene two gaji. I don't know. Stereotype. Nika kusimam rasta nimpakavute banyana. Yama nipakavutafu. Yama nipakavutafu. Yama nipakavutafu. Yama nipakavutafu. Yama nipakavutafu. Yama nipakavutafu. Yama nipakavutafu. Sata na kumira baya kuntiae bach nisa wa. We say statistics never lie. No. We have to go with statistics. Sata. I told you, mimi na mufosikopa na bongasheng kuwan tu na ka. We wouldn't give us a job. We would give us a job. We would give us a job. But are we seeing criminality in Karen? Are we seeing any criminality? Is it said up for me? Criminality in Karen but differently. Maybe to you and me. Listen bro. Sabunongia in a certain way. Mark is not seen as an influence crime. There are times we say say she's on a committee. Now you're English. Let's agree奇weiz we'll be getting aход in a call day beard. Aren't you at women courts hearing the cry of desirungs, ... This is the Latvian solchen crime… A new trend we are talking of… Nardapu na bongasheng kuwan a judge. We should agree that Sheng is related to a certain way of criminality. So we must admit it? In what way? I can't say 90% of people take wanga shengu wana wuta baki I can't even believe what I'm saying I don't want to know English I can't even say it I can't say it in English they don't smoke weed at the end of the day we smoke weed We smoke weed with theyl clipper 90% We smoke weed with theyl clipper we smoke weed with theyl clipper We smoke weed with theyl clipper OK We can tell We will say We have people like Jay-Z because obviously they are not going to talk like the Sheng, Swahili and English What are kwa na their own way of pronouncing things or mentioning things of looking at everything from their own perspective So these guys I want to ask you one question Let's say my brother is around 30-35 What is your Sheng size? It's your brother What is your Sheng? As in Sheng is a language, honestly we can't say it's a language We can't say it's a language We can't say it's a language We can't say it's a language We can't say it's a language Sheng is a language honestly It's like English We have to embrace it What makes us authentic honestly What makes you think that you are an insinuate Sheng and that you are an outgrow Sheng? Exactly And it's very true Sheng is a kind of a campo I don't know I am not planning to grow up Sheng I am an outgrow I don't know if you understand it or not but you can relate to it Yes, Ajay Why not? It's been 8 years but I don't know if you understand it We can't say it's a language We can't say it's a language We can't say it's a language We can't say it's an outgrow I am just saying from a personal fact When I was in primary I was through a private school When I went to high school I went to a public school When I came to Nairobi I didn't realise people talking Sheng So I thought it was a Sheng but I didn't know if it was a Sheng because I feel like he or she is confused Yes I don't know I don't know if it's a language but it's a language I don't know Sheng is a language I don't know if it's a language but it's a language but it's a language I don't know if it's a language I don't know I don't know I don't know Ok, wait I don't know I don't know I don't know We are 2-5 Facebook I wish we had seen the criminal Godzha I don't know Let's go to Facebook and see what they are saying despite her timesexplosions being cut, Her husband from Rwanda Shinga Miskam Who gave up to give up a nine money payment for this family gathering? and Kadeibal ...
