Hip-Hop Pantsula- Acceptance speech(re-witten)

There is no doubt that HHP is one of the hardest working mc in Mzantsi, beside the fact that the cat has brought Mtswako to its feet, the dude knows how 2 handle his biz. He has created the hype, after some of us thought he was underrated nd he made himself into a hip hop brand. He puts it straight with words like “it takes war / go fihla mo ke leng” and he plans to go big like Russell Simmons. I say, Big up, nigga! The album, Acceptance Speech is but HHP style in its most Motswakisto flavor, the samplin, eccentric flows, the head bobbing beats, light crispy lyrics…the album is acceptable. The first track ‘ toro’ featuring a vocalist Diamond is beautiful and fresh, he talks bout his route from rags 2 riches nd givin advise to the unenthusiastic. Another track on the same tip is ‘get up’ the drum version, quite ambitious but they nailed it, is equivalent to Tupac’s ‘baby don’t cry’, the message nd the delivery is brilliant. Somehow the album falls short, Tumi from the band, the volume came through on a track ‘Darfur’ which was aimed @ headz but I was disappointed. I came to a conclusion that the joint was rushed or HHP didn’t have enough weed to bring out his level best creativity. The remix of the hit ‘music n lights’ was unnecessary attempt but a gud collection for club DJ also with ‘Killowatt’, a shout out to Fats n Suffocate form E-TV’s rhythm city. I like the idea of Hip-Hop and live bands, its an effort most mc’s can’t pull but HHP flows better on a live instrumental, I guess Tumi had an effect on him, however three instrumental songs on a Hip-Hop album it’s a sacrilege. Jabba is a brand, he is tswaking his music like he has done for years, neva mind the criticism. The nigga gows in everything music, House beats, kwaito and some dance hall.
