    Youngsta spoke the truth, the Coloured community having been consuming American Hip Hop since the beginning, our idea of identity was partly shaped by American figures due to extreme lack of representation and media coverage of our own community. We saw ourselves in the likes of American artists and understood their struggle against the system.

    South Africans and the African Americans are like twins , our experience and the Cultures are like the similar. Even our country . The Western cape and The West CA side , the hip hop there is so similar. Joburg is like Chicago vibes and a bit of New York. I am not surprosed why Black Americans get inspiration from South African Hip Hop .
