- Welcome to another thought-provoking episode on SMWX. This time, we are excited to host Siya 'Slikour' Metane, a South African rapper, businessman, and visionary who's consistently shaped the landscape of the South African music industry.
In this in-depth conversation, Slikour shares his insightful views on the pressing theme, "We must own the economy". He draws from his profound experiences to shed light on how the principles of ownership can fundamentally transform our economy, and why it's crucial for the next generation.
As an influential member of the renowned hip-hop group Skwatta Kamp and the creative mind behind 'Slikour on Life', he is no stranger to overcoming adversity, breaking boundaries, and navigating the complex world of the music industry. Here, he takes us through his journey, highlighting the triumphs and trials that shaped him into the influential figure he is today.
We also delve into his new book, 'Slikour: The Life Story of a Hip-Hop Pioneer', a powerful reflection on his life and the music business revolution he has been a part of. This conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in gaining a new perspective on economics, appreciating the power of hip-hop, or understanding the grit it takes to revolutionize an industry.

I detest when people brag about being the first to comment, but..."Yey! I'm the first to comment here today"...give me some likes (LOL) *eyeroll*
Yay!
😂 I detest people like @lekis5975, they think being first in the comments is owning the world 🤣🤣
@@_SMWX 😘Lots of love from London town!!
@@ntuthuzelontantiso5394 Hayi suka wena don't be such a debbie downer. Here's a like from me.😘 Hope you're enjoy the show...Slikour stays dropping golden nuggets!
😂😂😂😂
Luv Slikour, he's been pushing since I was in high school. A well grounded guy with so much wisdom👌🏽🙏🏽.
I haven't been listening to the show but i must say i missed the intro song .dadedadedaedaeda hhahahahahah hiiiiii😆😀 Shout out to slikour his the best of the best
South Africa's political liberation came from music (music was instrumental in the battle for liberation), it would be insane if South Africa's economic liberation came from music as well. Insane but not unthinkable or surprising.
Wow great point.
@lekis5975 my brother you are so good with words and history. Entertainment it our low-hanging fruit for economic emancipation but music it's the therapeutic mechanism that our forefathers used to liberate themselves from evil past it's still also going to deliver us economically.
@@kbksennykubheka542wrong assumption, ndingu uSisi.👍
We are going back to the future...Shout out Siya_M💯✌🏽
"SLIKOUR" I need to be next to you bhuti. You dream big brother and damn you have been delivering and sustaining the pace and development of the industry. I just recently said you did it first talking online content. Congratulations man, fly. We see you and some of us want you next to us your drive is fresh air & hope.
Thank you Dr Sizwe
Slikour is one of the smartest OG in South African rap game.
The most underrated leader of society, Slikour. "Create new rules, do not break the rules, politicians are busy trying to take what already has rules built into it", very enlightening.
Please keep the SA Hip Hop culture alive 🙏 at this point we are being swallowed by the youngins amapiano culture and its painful to witness.
still on this Topic of music, Sizwe you owe us a couple of albums... come Through
In the past, Slikour has said some foolish things about our people. But I believe that that was the lowest point of his career. I think he needed that to bring him back to the reality of black people across the spectrum. I enjoyed this, thank you, Sizwe for this interview.
🙌🏽
Big up Phantom sliq aka Number 1 Shangaan. :)
One song that rounds up the respect I have for this brother right here Slikour is a song called Dreamer I wish blacks can listen to this song over and over again 🤞🏾it is such an emotional song for me the song can change our whole mentality about life in general and our obsession with certain things as blacks 🙏🏾
In my opinion that is his best song
Africans. A$$ o not blacks
Siya is always dropping knowledge... Sometimes people like him people don't want to hear them but you act surprised when you see them succeeding in life. Wisdom is always worth than money!!! God gave you(Sizwe) and Siya "WISDOM" and that's GOLDEN!!! Thanks Always. #RESPECT
Ayeye 🔥🔥🔥
This is the kind of content that keeps me sane.... positivity, futuristic solutions, authenticity - siyabonga Siyabonga Metane and Dr Sizwe
Not a new conversation ask Robert Sobukwe.
Not a new conversation, but definitely one worth repeating over and over and over again, so that hopefully one day, the ones in the back of the room, or the ones who are not paying attention will get to hear it.
Killing the love, Bl!@ are fools, God made us, are some of my classics. Please bring uAmu too.
Brah Sizwe. You are advertising Dr Fanon's book. Is this a hint a it being a must have?
Yep.
Sliquor is refreshing always , his mind when it come to art is dope .
I am proud of you SIikour, our country is indebted to to you.
Great interview
Wow, I have enjoyed this interview. I have learned a lot.
👍🏽
I am late for this one, Enkosi Sizwe\
🙌🏽
email not going through, can you instead type it please?
Hello[at]sizwempofuwalsh[dot]com
@@_SMWX just give him the book. if you have another one i will take it
Silkour talks too much😢the hour speaking of 1 thing, we never got to the chapters of the book😂
Now after this conversation I must choose between Winnie Mandela's book and brah Slikour's new release. Brah Sizwe just caused more confusion in my life😂
Both, over time. 🙂
Which Winnie Mandela book? Are you referring to the recent book about the Mandela's marriage? If that's the case, it's a hard NO from me. As usual the writer stayed slagging off uMam Winnie, the powers that be are still working hard to tarnish her legacy. Avoid that hatchet job and go buy Black- buy Slikour's book.
@@lekis5975 I do not have material on Mama Nomzamo's life. It is a shame. Please recommend an autobiography or biography except for 491 days. Slikour's book I am definitely getting I promise.
Loved this, Slikour is a true innovator and monumental figure for the culture. Thank you for asking about Kiernan.🤍
