Flvme speaks about the reasons behind the stunted growth of Hip Hop in South Africa.
Over the past 12 months, SA hip hop has been dethroned by Amapiano genre, and lots of critics have fingered rappers over this issue.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, Flvme firstly blamed rappers who have spent years in the game, and refusing to let new faces and talents take over.
“SA HIP HOP WILL KEEP GROWING SLOW AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE SAME FACES … IT’S BEEN THE SAME PEOPLE FOR YEARS NOW !!!”
He further said one of the reasons why the genre is not growing is because people (Mzansi) don’t take pride in their artists.
“South Africa Has The Best Hip Hop Scene . It’s Jus Not Growing Because Of How I We Look At It . We Don’t Take Pride In Our Artists . Niggaz Jus Wanna Break Us Down Instead Of Lifting Us Up,” he added.
