THE LONG AWAITED #UNTOUCHABLES HAS FINALLY DROPPED!!!
Sipho Ramaru
Sipho Ramaru
“This is our time, it’s go time, ma
n***a it’s your time ma n***a it’s your time…untouchables”
Like I said before, Originality is a
quality that sustains us in whatever we do.
As much as this game is full of
lames and trend followers who at some point blow up. . .the truth is; it’s only
temporary and the fame is always short lived!! Because of lack of originality.
I like the vernacular and original elements
on this joint and can say, if given the right platforms to be marketed…it can
actually go a long way!! Kilogram and MiTLO goes in hard on the joint, slaying rhymes and killing it.
"bare ke nna, o la wa maloba le mabane/ jo le ka nkane ke fitlhile, ne ba sa nagana/ a ke lebale, ke botlhale, legare, ke bogale/ ke sega ke tsena......"
BIG S/O to the Untouchables, representing the hood. Get 'em!!!!!

“GOLDEN BOY” GET CAUGHT IN UNNECESSARY DRAMA…
The rap game has always been a very competitive sport and egos have always got in the way and made fellas lose it.
There’s also been rappers who made millions but never let
that distract their main objective of expressing themselves through the art of
music because more than anything, the initial objective of rap was to practice
the freedom of speech and end gang violence. . .But today it’s serving a
different purpose, dudes are making money through gang violence and beef.
Rick Ross once said: “Red or Blue, do you as long as you
getting rich”
Implying that, whether you are a Crip or a Blood, just be
yourself and do what works for you. . .but I believe it doesn’t mean you should
make money off taking shots at people for no reason, or simply because you making
more money than them….?!?!
I would be wrong if I was to say Cassper built up his
fame using the “AKA beef”? because that has always been the tactic for other
cats….Dis those who are currently hot so you can shift the spotlight to
yourself.
I’m starting to think Cassper Nyovest is still a kid and
need to grow, and quick ‘cause the entertainment industry is not for those that
taste a lil fame and go crazy. The beef track was totally unnecessary, we all know he
sold Gold and he is doing quite well. But rubbing it in people’s faces, (the
people he believe they “hating” on him). Taking shots at Cash Time Fam..?!?
“None of you nig**s can f**k with me/ The cheque I got
this morning says f**k Vigi/ and I done made a mill tryna f**k Mennie/ Now all
the baddest b****es tryna f**k with me”
Then he goes further to saying: “they’ll never give me my
props they bitter ha ban a plan.” Who exactly??
“I’m cool with number TWO coz I’m richer than number ONE”,
taking shots at KO. Here’s the thing about life, you better respect it and
those around you coz boy this entertainment business ain’t guaranteed. And oh,
the “coloured n****” line…
Now on this track, well it’s a dope joint with the lyrics
and the beat complimenting each other making it dope piece. But was it
necessary?? Then after, he goes on to facebook to apologize for dissing KO. .
.why was he doing it in the first place?
Could it be that the Gold status be messing with him and
he’s starting to feel himself a bit too much?? Get off your high horse hommie
and humble yourself.

CASSPER TWEETPIC HIS BALANCE
Sipho Ramaru
Cassper Nyovest allegedly screen munched his balance and shared the pic on his twitter account. . .Was this a smart move?? Was it really necessary??

Many would agree with me if i was to say this was unnecessary and put's himself at risk of being a victim to vultures who are scouting who to jack. Let's just hope he knows what he's doing. Big ups to the hommie though, we all wanna have a balance with those many figures!!!

CLASSIC WEDDING (MR. & MRS. ALAN FERGUSON)

The Couple on their bicycles. |

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, as they would say! That is definitely the case in this one classic, one of its own wedding.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, as they would say! That is definitely the case in this one classic, one of its own wedding.
Video director Alan Ferguson and the soulful singer, Solange
Knowles tied the knot in New Orleans on Sunday in front of about 200 family
members and friends.
The pair rode white painted vintage bicycles to the
ceremony with Solange’s busket filled with flowers.
This was a super dope
setting, some classic stuff. They both looked chilled and happy as they arrived
at the venue.
The bride was rocking a cream-white pantsuit with a cape
and plunging V-neck, showing some cleavage while Mr. Ferguson was also on some white suit tip and
black sharp-nose shoes with a touch of gold! I repeat…this is some classic
stuff!

Dopeeee |
Alan Ferguson is an award winning video director and have
worked with the likes of John Legend and Katy Perry just to mention a few. He won
a BET Award in 2012 for Best Video Director for co-directing Beyonce’s ‘Party’
and ‘Dance
for you’ music videos.
Amongst the guest that attended the wedding was Solange’s
son, Julez, her mom Tina Knowles and singer Janelle Monae and of course the
Carter family. They just had to be there and get the spotlight from other
publications, even though it wasn’t about them on this day. Jigga, Queen B and
their daughter Blue Ivy, were also dressed in white.
Solange posted on her facebook page: “Yesterday, I had
the best day of my life and ended it with an abumbance of peace, love over
flowing through me like never before. Words only understate the feelings I have
experienced, but I want to thank you for all of your beautiful sentiments. I’m
now, with the one.”
This just made me a Solange fan, going out of the
ordinary to throw such a classic wedding with a dope setting. Niceeeeeeee. . .Hip-Hop-Split
wishes the newlyweds a happily ever after!!!
