Music Video: Proverb ft HHP - “Breadwinner”

If you've heard this song then you have been missing out on great track!

Proverb teamed up with Jabba to make this super fab track. The track is commemorating all the great dads out there who are man enough to take care of their kids and not following the millions of men who don't know what their children are eating or wearing.

I love the chorus, it's catchy and Proverb's daughter is just too damn cute. He must keep her on a short leech coz those sex hungry boys will be after her in 10 years time

Man I love this collabo!

Oh and I would like to know if Channel O payed all the expenses of this video. They all over the video and what is KB's role it vele. He's childless!

Hell yea Mpume said it!

Music Video: Lizha James ft Mandoza - "Voodoo"

This music is a bit old but I saw it for the first time tonight on Channel O and instantly fell in love with it.

I just love seeing two African artists from two different African countries making music in totally different languages and still make it sound damn good.

I think Mandoza has reached his sell-by date but this song is good. And well I just love Lizha James. She grew on me when her song was played over and over over again on Big Brother Africa 3. I envy that bitche's body.

While I'm on the point of BBA...I can't wait for the fourth season beginning in September. I'll make damn sure that the DSTV subscription is paid during those three months.

Yea Mpume said so.

If He Beats You, Run And Never Come Back!

There have been rumoures flying around that Chris and Rihanna are back together yet again soon after Chris made the fake apology to Riri. According to London's Daily Mail, the two were seen checking into the Trump International Hotel and Tower on Friday at separate rooms.

If the rumour mill is true and that they are still seeing each other, I'm not surprised at all. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if they come out in the open and say they still a couple. I've always said and will continue to say that there's more to what really happened that night in February than what the rest of us know.

Besides that, these types of things always happen, I've seen it with my own eyes. A guy will knock they lights out of his girlfriend or wife and sometimes he will beat up so badly she ends up in hospital but still once he smooth talks her she will go running back to his arms as if nothing has ever happened.

Personally I never been in that situation coz I feel I'm way smarter than to stay in an abusive relationship that is draining me physical and mentally. Nonetheless I've had encounter with people I know that have/are in abusive relationships but still choose to stay despite the on-going abuse. I asked one beautiful sister who was in an abusive relationship with a very relative of mine why does she stay and continue with such abuse and she simply told me it's coz they have a child together and she wants him to be in his child's life. I told that is just an excuse to stay, which I still feel strongly about. The sad part is that they have broken up and he simply refuses to be in the child's life unless a circumstance forces him to.

Ladies must learn that if a guy beats you up, even once, pack your bags and leave because 99.99% of the time he will do it again. And if he sees that you a sucker for a smack he will take advantage of your weakness and one day he will end up taking you to your grave.

So ladies stop being fools of these sorry excuses for men and stand up your ground. When the relationship is becoming too abusive don't be afraid to cut your loses and leave him. Regardless on whether you have a child with him or not. Regardless on any other circumstance coz your life and the lives of your loved ones is much more important than anything else.

Yes Mpume said so.

Stop the violence already!

Last week South Africa saw a ray of violent protests around the country, among those were for service delivery.

Probably 99% of those protests turned out violent which I find extremely sad. I don't understand why our people find the need to use violence to get their voices heard. Haven't they realised that violence will do nothing but harm, absolutely no good will come out of violence but even bigger problems.

In Mpumalanga's Marambane Township residents went as far as burning the only clinic in the area. What the hell! These people are going around toy-toying, burning tyres on the roads making noise about the lack of service delivery yet they go and set alight and destroy one of the few facilities that tries to provide the community with service delivery. How silly can people be! Now where the hell do they expect to get primary health care from when they have burnt down the only facility in the community that provides it.

Then there were more angry residents for Siyathemba Township in Mpumalanga who decided to loot and vandalised shops owned by foreign nationals.

What the hell do the foreign nationals have to do with the lack of service delivery. The poor people escaped their country of birth to make a better living in our country. I mean if they as foreigners are able to make a decent living in a foreign country what is stopping the people who were born and bread in South Africa to do the same. I'm really starting to seriously believe that South Africans are lazy.

And then there was an incident of a bunch of member from the South African Unemployed People's Movement(SAUPM). Damn there's an organisation like that, I must go join it! Now these people just made laugh my ass off. The walked into Shoprite and Pick 'n Pay at Durban's City Center made like they shopping and walked out with the groceries as if they own the store. These people claim the reason they looted the shops was because of lack of service delivery.
Maybe I wasn't informed or I have a lack of knowledge but aren't these stores independently owned? What does Shoprite and PnP have to do with the government's lack of service delivery? I didn't want to say this but these people have a lack of common sense and I wish I could smack them back to reality. I understand their grievances but acting like a common thief and looting shops will not do any good for you.

Look here people of SAUPM Shoprite and PnP are business owned by a bunch of capitalists. They don't give a damn about the government's lack of service delivery. They not involved in the government's lack of service delivery. The people who you should be thieving from is the people who voted for in April.

Wake the hell up people! Violence in any form or kind will do nothing but make matters worse. Stop the foolishness and voice your grievances in a peaceful manner.

People are laughing at us dammit!!

Yea Mpume said so!

Blast from the Past: Township Life in Reverse

I was browsing through some YouTube video and stumbled upon this SABC 1 advert. This advert was done to promote SABC 1's new slogan “Yama Mpela”. If I remember correctly it aired sometime in 2003.

I absolutely loved this advert. It was a switched life of the ordinary black person living in the township and an average suburbia white person. The ad depicts a white guy from the township, waking up in the morning, walking on the streets of Soweto, township tour buses with black tourists photographing children on the streets, taxi ranks, hair salons on the streets in town. Everything that an average black township person sees and experiences everyday is depicted in the ad but the characters are made to be white.

This ad is creativity at its best and shows what we township folks have to deal with on a daily basis. The music is so fitting, I love that Mapaputsi track, it's so hardcore Absolutely love it.

Ja, Mpume said so.

Die Stem irrelevent for new South Africa?

The other day I took a careful listen to the South African national antheme and realised how long it is. It's four verses that go on forever, not that i'm complaining or anything.

And then I remembered some weeks ago, musician Thandiswa Mazwai was making noise about why the Afrikaans verse of the national anthem should be scrapped off. She said Die Stem reminded South Africans of our horrible past and that the song was coined by racists who made it their life's mission to make the lives of Black South Africans hell (not in so many words of course).

I couldn't help thinking that what Ms Mazwai was saying has some truth to it. As much as it's part of our history it's still the birth child of our oppressors.

But then again on the flip side I think Die Stem is part of our history. I also feel as bad as it was apartheid is part of history and most probably made South Africa to be what it is today. Who knows maybe South Africa would have been a little known nation on the southern most tip of Africa. No matter who in the world as soon as you mention South Africa, most probably the first thing that would come to their minds would apartheid or Nelson Mandela.

I'm on the fence on this one coz I strongly feel we as South Africans should know and be familiar with our history, whether it was good or bad but then again Die Stem can open up many unhealed wounds for thousands of South Africans.

Despite this we can't deny that Die Stem is part of South Africa's history and heritage.

Yea, Mpume said so.

Chris Brown's Fake Apology

At the beginning of this week singer Chris Brown finally made a public apology to Rihanna for knocking her lights out in a form of a video (shown above).

Maybe it's me but that apology look awfully fake to me. It looks over rehearsed as if he was like let me just over and with this already. Also I find it very convenient that he decides to apologise now. I mean he's been seen in and out of the studio recently, is he trying to get back his fans who have fallen off the wagon since the February incident.

Whatever it is I think the boy's apology is fake and it was done for his own good.

On a side note I think there's more to this Chris Brown-Rihanna assault. I want the fool story before I can completely make up my mind about the assault. But Chris was wrong in smacking the girl, no matter what he shouldn't lay his hands on a female unless in a life or death situation, which i doubt it was.

Yep, Mpume said so
