About 7 years ago, my brother came to wake me up at midnight (I was sleeping on the sleeper couch for 2 months between places) to watch what I can only describe as a phenomenon: 3 beer bellied Afrikaans guys at the side of a dam with a tree...skinny slutty looking girls walking around looking "koel" & posing all over the guys & next to a Ford Cortina... the worst kind of Afrikaans lyrics (and Afrikaans can be DIRTY!) being rapped out of the guys' mouths...It was freakin' hilarious.
I was with a group of people a short while back who were talking about this 'new' form of Afrikaans rap - a sub-culture of people doing really South African, "bad taste" but really cool music with ridiculous music video personas.
We had a pizza evening with Pete & Elaine tonight. They always have something amazing to show & tell.... & tonight, they introduced us to Jack Parow.
(I think that Jack Parow is a great example of this "sub-culture")
You have to understand 'South African' to get this & its worth every bit of bandwidth!
