s/o for bringing this. he mentioned Scoop Makhathini and Thomas Gumede. Scoop Makhathini, Thomas Gumede and Lungsta interviews would be fire! Go pull up em of the woods.
Fred Mercury is an icon in SA hip hop culture. HYPE magazine was our portal to alot of dope SA hip hop music and a staple distribution outlet country wide
Fred knows how to sell his artists ,Zingah asked who do we have as artist at Staylow then homeboy ran with it he basically plugged me on 3 of their artists with their accolades he ddnt just name drop nje he made sure tht there was a backstory on why thy have those on their Roster and that’s Executive talk and tht Zulu Mecca talk he is right
Reflecting on Bhuda T's interview on Touchdown about a decade ago, it's not surprising to see how adept he is at this. He was even commended for his articulate communication skills during the interview.
@33:00, the esteem... gotta be the one reason hip hop is hip hop. Gave us thay thing to see our skin in an empowered light, instead of just a statistic to be at the bottom of the hierarchy
Yo the amount of gems dropped on this episode(🤯), Fred is Incredible in what he does. It resonates with me as a former Brand Manager for a few International brands, this was a Master Class of note!
I hate the Fact that we never know the "it Guys" of any movement really,not just in hip hop/music industry, thats why i am for this show for it represents The Hip Hop Industry and we only have so much Rappers to interview, im for such Chops🙏👊Danko Bhuda
Thanks the Lawd for hosting Fred. One of the great thinkers in the industry. I’m a great admirer of him so much that I’ve watched pretty much every interview that features him on RUclips. Also, I’ve named myself Mercury because of him
Great conversation! To keep it factual, JAY-Z, although an incredible songwriter, is yet to win the Pulitzer Prize. That honour is still reserved for Kendrick Lamar.
Didnt know Bro before this , but i must say , just became a huggge fan ! V interesting Chop , very rich ! Keep it up yall !! and ofcourse shout out to TLOTJ , fire Chop! (Lol Thursdays have become fridays high key!)
Bhuda T🙌I think you should invite Fred more on the Culture Chop, Bro gave alot of insight on the game & on the hype mag Rashad Kay should take a break nyana
Zulu meca has not been releasing music since 2020. That girl been doing music way back than that and she and Deekay Did it, I forgot the other girl, were in a group trio that was once signed to Toya Delazy. The group dispersed and she went into acting, rebranded and called herself Zulu Meca just now. The trio group was Klutch Collective.
Hip hop and age, this is just after you chopped how young this industry is, yet in the same breath you ridicule Rashid for being a 45 year old head.....
Slightly disappointed with this one, I believe you missed an opportunity with this one, especially regarding the Zocci part and censoring his name as if the information isn’t readily available online. Perhaps you were hesitant to stir up any conflict, given your long-standing relationship with the individual and Styan Entertainment’s reputation to uphold. However, as an artist, I expected more insight from you to enlighten fellow artists. My intention isn’t to seek out drama or sensationalism; rather, I hope for you to use your platform to educate others on such matters.
Valid! Yet we also have to extend grace & consider the limitations that come with being involved in an ongoing legal suit. Anything you say publicly may be used against you in court & be misconstrued by the opposing parties. That's why Fred couldn't delve deeper; for the sake of StayLow as both a brand & a party to a legal suit. Hence the censoring of his name & the limited information he provided here.
You let Rashid speak his mind then let ppl come to the platform to shit on him? So you basically just using him for the views but its clear you dont really fuck with him, you just using him
You’re reaching, maybe you just don’t like me and are looking for a reason. As the platform it is not my job to take sides, if I’m gonna let Rashid talk his shit then why should I stop people from responding to him?
@@Zingah He kinda got a point tho, it's not a good look getting keke with slander against your cohost and you don't at least offer any pushback against it, even on some play devils advocate tip. Also, you seemed to be cosigning the slander but when Rashid was in the stu you didn't seem to have any issue with what he was saying, it's giving 2 faced chief, but I don't think that's your intention but keep that in mind bru.
I mean I get that perspective, but for me I have no dog in the fight. I’m not on anybody’s side and it’s not my job to police what people say, they represent themselves.
This guy gave me my first industry opportnity. Before leaving HYPE MAGAZINE he got me an internship at the publication. God bless this dude 🙏❤
That’s fire
A very well spoken and eloquent dude right there ..I enjoyed this foreal .
The rich vocabulary used in these drops is🤧 so underrated
Facts
Homie said archetype and quintessential in the same sentence. It’s on another level
s/o for bringing this. he mentioned Scoop Makhathini and Thomas Gumede. Scoop Makhathini, Thomas Gumede and Lungsta interviews would be fire! Go pull up em of the woods.
I second this fam ..I just imagined those 3 in one room interviewed by the Lord of the every …
Damn and I ain't seen Lungsta in a minute, you rare for that suggestion big dawg

That’s crazy that you remember that
LOVED this conversation. Please bring on Lalla Hirayama and also Helen Herembi if you can big dawg
So to People who were confused as to why Zoo’s name had to be beeped out it’s because his story with Staylow is a legal matter
🤝🏽
@33:00, the esteem... gotta be the one reason hip hop is hip hop. Gave us thay thing to see our skin in an empowered light, instead of just a statistic to be at the bottom of the hierarchy
