Slikour on life,can we please get Zubz his own show where he just breaks down and disect bars.....it can be linked to verse of the month and he can just break down the verse that takes the 1st place. I think it would be dope
The analytics are crazy on point. For me the mixed messages are the way the world views south africa. They see Trevor as what south Africa is.. But there's so much more.. And The Fela... Line speaks to what most people of color have been marginalized as... Just dancers and entertainers.. Instead of delta which is an oil company in Nigeria... Peep the dichotomy..... Comedian VS Struggle icon.... Musician VS commodity(oil) and that's just from those bars. I can go on
I've watched this verse a dozen times now and I can't get sick of it. Stogie T cleaned up the mess Casper and AKA did on Sway in the morning. Shout out Nasty C for starting the clean up campaign. Only if you can get the legend himself to dissect his bars. That'd be awesome. Make it happen Slikour, it wouldn't be that hard for you.
If anyone at Slikour is listening, this is the kind of stuff the culture needs. We need more people like Last letta to school us, so that the new generation can carry on tradition. Hip hop is meant to evolve but the roots should remain intact. Beyond that though, the Slikour team is breaking new ground, congrats and well done fam.
Maaannnn.... This freestyle was super dope from the moment it dropped. None like it. And now Zubz has just made it a 100 times better just by decoding it. I didn't think it'd be possible. Shout out to the greats!!!
Wow!!! I Agree it’s the Best African Freestyle I’ve heard and “ONE” of the Best freestyles Period. Your Breakdown is Blackbelt Level there were things I didn’t catch, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
I agree with you Zubz Stogie T, made me nod off my head especially... on that part where he says "I'm from the real South not the catfish fresh killer Mic, I mean that township real South where blacks go hardship like a roundtrip flight " .
Thanks to Last Letter for disecting unarguably the best ever african freestyle, and arguably top 5 of the greatest ever Sway in the morning freestyle (content-wise).. I don't care what people think, but Stogie T, Zubz and Verb have lines that can leave even the greats in this hip hop craft, behind their bars (if u knw what i mean).. They should think about dropping something as a trio (performance of ur life, sex, drugs and alcohol type), and feature cats like Golden Shovel, Reason, etc).. WE NEED MORE CONSCIOUS STAFF!!! Thanks Slikour
Word to Slikour for creating a platform where the true fathers of SA hip hop can shine on with their excellence in this era determined to render them obsolete. Dope, educated analysis by one of thee best to ever bless the mic, Last letter. May I suggest that you hit us with a Ready D Mix once in a while to preserve that old school "scratch" djaying skill as well? Peace!
OK Zubz, I hear you bro and much respect to Stogie T vele-vele I knew he is going to kill it. So moving on I would like to see and hear Zubz, Zeus, Reason just to name few icons of SA
no one in this entire world can be able to break down a verse juss like u brother u the best .....i wish i can reach ur level coz i think im also a lyrical analyst ....now i can understand the song more ..i wish u were breaking it down each line ......2018/12/10.....STOGIE TYCOON OF HIPHOP NO DOUBTS BUT FUNNY THING IS , I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I HEARD THAT FREESTYLE EVEN THO IT WA WHAT I EXPECTED
Zubs bro, I missed the fatherhood theme with regards to Mandela, Fella and Trevor. Also that fatherhood theme ties in with the fatherhood (hip hop pioneer) theme that Stogie is highlighting when he talks about "having written above their heads'" he is our guy that we never gave gave the right amount of respect to for what he gave to the hi-hop movement in South Africa.
Big upz to the decoding. If all MC's would write like this and be intentional about it, the present would be preserved for future generations. I love an album that is full meaningful content, coherence and reverence to reality rather than just fiction and only imagination of "chicks with three boobs and flying cars". One can have a few songs of imagination to encourage dreaming big, to give hope and a fill good vibe but we also need the educational and restraint side to build a nation.
Can our story teller start reading on the history of Africa so that our stories present relavence and history. We so much content in this continent. From Apartheid, Civil wars or Tribal wars, Blood diamonds, Sex trade, force Marraiges, Different Religion etc... So ma y countries we can draw inspirations from... Our history is bloody but bloody unique....
@@slikouronlife Yes Thought gave him props (deservedly so). Tumi, just like Thought has never been wack; as a matter of knowledge, he's the best MC in Africa ever. But it should be acknowledged that although Thought has been tight through out his career, he now has evolved into a newly discovered MC-form. And Tumi will soon reache that form and most probably surpass it as well. What I'm simply saying is that Tumi is a Jedi, but Thought is 'Thee Ultimate Jedi'. I mean Styles P said that about Thought. Who's gonna argue with Styles P?
Well... I really don't need to say much, i Totally agree with Zubz the last letter. As Zubz also one of the highest powerful mcee and he just took his hat off for his caleba...
eish when hip hop still mattered and you needed to think beyond just your paycheck & were part of a movement that made people think not just chicken n jiving.I am with Zubz review here
Come on people , this is not decoding, Zubs did not decode anything here! 12:53 later I still don't understand anything Stogie T said, rather bring the artist to decode their verses themselves.
Yoh my guy, that's a loaded verse. Everything is fire in it, it requires a lot of general knowledge and a bit of reading to catch those verses. 1. They are lukewarm/I'm in true form/38 like Jordan in Utah, killing them with the flu shot- in 1997 during game 5 of the NBA finals, MJ had flu but he still went on and scored 38 points, this also references to the fact that if your temperature is 38 it means you have a fever, you are hot, they are lukewarm, get it? 🤣 2. Fam I'm a Giant amongst ants, like that tyrant from Baghdad /who saying (Hussein) I can't hang on camera- Sadam Hussein, the former president of Iraq was hung live on TV after being found guilty for crimes against humanity. 3. The diary of a mad man who should have been stamped champ but I wrote above their heads like Anne Frank- Stogie has always been a genius lyricist but ddnt get the recognition he deserved, people just ddnt get his music, it flew over their heads. Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who was trapped in an attic during the Nazi war, she wrote a diary while hid up there. Wrote above their head, get it? 🤣 4.Am disliked but I don't give too many fucks, when they set the bar I look back and tell them where it was- niggas in the industry don't like him but he doesn't give a fuck because they are not even in the same league. 5. Sway I put your certified hyenas in elephant graves- if you have watched Lion King you will know what he's talking about. Also, Sway calls the baddest rappers with dope freestyles "Hyenas" so he says that he's gonna bury all the so-called Hyenas that were there before him.
Zubz is giving us a clear image. Imagery is his way of narrative art.
Slikour on life,can we please get Zubz his own show where he just breaks down and disect bars.....it can be linked to verse of the month and he can just break down the verse that takes the 1st place. I think it would be dope
I like this idea bro, he really is dope with breaking down bars and rhyming schemes
Im always open
Phenomenal idea Pule.
I second this
@@slikouronlife thanks for being open minded 2019 am waiting for zubz
Love it when a goat disects another goat
This reaction was so good I had to come back to it.
I feel like I just came out of a serious Hip Hop lecture. I'll never drop out of this university. Big Up's Zubz.
Lol he dope
I was thoroughly taken to school. 🙌 I just need to be certified - what a legendary review 👏 big ups @zubz
Stogie T is The best African rapper of all times
Love from South Sudan.
The analytics are crazy on point. For me the mixed messages are the way the world views south africa. They see Trevor as what south Africa is.. But there's so much more.. And The Fela... Line speaks to what most people of color have been marginalized as... Just dancers and entertainers.. Instead of delta which is an oil company in Nigeria... Peep the dichotomy..... Comedian VS Struggle icon.... Musician VS commodity(oil) and that's just from those bars. I can go on
I think we was more specifically referencing the wars in the Nigerian Delta between USA backed oil companies and local ethnic groups
I've watched this verse a dozen times now and I can't get sick of it. Stogie T cleaned up the mess Casper and AKA did on Sway in the morning. Shout out Nasty C for starting the clean up campaign.
Only if you can get the legend himself to dissect his bars. That'd be awesome. Make it happen Slikour, it wouldn't be that hard for you.
Touchè

Shout out
Zubz should open a rap academy. Tumi has always been a vivid painter of stories. The best African freestyle
'Headphone music in a parallel world' is still the best album I've heard in SA HipHop. Truly legendary! Zubz is the man.
I’ve been dissecting lyrics since a child , I have 3 decades in - for me to bow my head down, speaks volumes ! #Incredible
Zubz just gave me Goose-Bumps with that Breakdown!!!
Stogie has clearly mastered his craft. Impeccable lyricism, knowledge and showmanship.
after watching Stogie T on sway all I could think about was Zubz and Proverb. These 3 are the best..
Zubz needs to get a regular slot.
2022, this is when some other bars are sinking 💥T is incomparable🐐
We need more breakdowns as detailed as this, thanks Zubito.
Salute to the last letter showing respect to another great
Maaannnn.... This freestyle was super dope from the moment it dropped. None like it. And now Zubz has just made it a 100 times better just by decoding it. I didn't think it'd be possible. Shout out to the greats!!!
Wow!!! I Agree it’s the Best African Freestyle I’ve heard and “ONE” of the Best freestyles Period.
Your Breakdown is Blackbelt Level there were things I didn’t catch, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Golden mic, dragon lion full circle props👏🏾👏🏾🎤🎤
"Best African Verse of All time" I fully agree.
In the World surely Top 10 or 5 of all time.
I can't get enough.
English Higher Grade lessons back in High School..
Wow!
2020 and this on of the best reaction vids...does Zubs do this often? Too nice🔥👌
Last Letter on point here! I thought the same thing after hearing this free, it's the best from Africa and rivals the best in the world.
Jeses! 🙌🏽👑
MTV Base take notes.
would be dope if he continued unlocking the bars moving forward
Mandilakhe Donyeli we don’t have enough bats by famous rappers to unlock. Imagine decoding fela in Versace, Gets- Getsa, Vur Vai or any other garbage
@@sibusisonyamakazi lol but we have Behind The Bars and Verse of The Month for a reason - there are still cats who are dropping bars out there.
Zubs comes out on special days
Zubz a legend for this!!!!!
Can Zubz please be a regular on your show. Damn.
Good To See This GOAT in These Streets.An MC With An Insight into Bars. S/O to Slikour For This.

Well decoded.
superior editing in this video.. props to the editors......made it easy and engaging. @slikouronlife
WOW Zubz, amazing break down every word mattered .
I would love to hear Slikour and Zubs spit bars
As for the analysis that was a great lecture and yes it is the best thus far
I agree with you Zubz Stogie T, made me nod off my head especially... on that part where he says "I'm from the real South not the catfish fresh killer Mic, I mean that township real South where blacks go hardship like a roundtrip flight " .
Thanks for the decode bru!!!!
True Zubz 🙌🏿
With everything that's going on right now... I had to revisit this
Thank you all i need to know is when are we going to hear you spit again
We need you zubz
True!
So refreshing!!!!1
Zubz you making me love hip-hop and be attention to details
You're a sharp dude - excellent professorial skills Bro.
Stogie T the best to ever do it, son!

Was totally waiting for this, 💪
Well analysed Zubz! Big ups to Tumi! He killed it!
Zubs, are you still releasing your music man?
Word to Slikour for creating a platform where the true fathers of SA hip hop can shine on with their excellence in this era determined to render them obsolete. Dope, educated analysis by one of thee best to ever bless the mic, Last letter. May I suggest that you hit us with a Ready D Mix once in a while to preserve that old school "scratch" djaying skill as well? Peace!
Its brotherhood bro, will see what we can do with the D, his also the big bro

All this time I have been getting mixed messages. Thanks for the decipher Zubz!
Best African Free of all time. Yup!
Zubs respect man.....
OK Zubz, I hear you bro and much respect to Stogie T vele-vele I knew he is going to kill it. So moving on I would like to see and hear Zubz, Zeus, Reason just to name few icons of SA
Zeus is from Botswana but he nice tho!
I didn't know bro thanks, he is great ner We have adopted him already is one of us LOL
you know the verse is top drawer when you have The Last Letter cross examining it
no one in this entire world can be able to break down a verse juss like u brother u the best .....i wish i can reach ur level coz i think im also a lyrical analyst ....now i can understand the song more ..i wish u were breaking it down each line ......2018/12/10.....STOGIE TYCOON OF HIPHOP NO DOUBTS BUT FUNNY THING IS , I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I HEARD THAT FREESTYLE EVEN THO IT WA WHAT I EXPECTED
Immediately googled Zubz after this..
Bro bro you bro what u said now is all on point
The last letter giving the teachings.
WORD.
Genius!
Zubs bro, I missed the fatherhood theme with regards to Mandela, Fella and Trevor. Also that fatherhood theme ties in with the fatherhood (hip hop pioneer) theme that Stogie is highlighting when he talks about "having written above their heads'" he is our guy that we never gave gave the right amount of respect to for what he gave to the hi-hop movement in South Africa.
Yoh @slikourOnline, We need that ”Last Letter“ segment up in here ✊🏽🏋🏽♂️ 🎤
Stogie T Fire
The very mighty Last Letta!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 100s
If any of you have heard a verse stronger than this please send me the link.
The expressions album
stogie t is the best by far
Big upz to the decoding.
If all MC's would write like this and be intentional about it, the present would be preserved for future generations.

Still waiting for someone to say something about the meaning of that Nadia line
Can our story teller start reading on the history of Africa so that our stories present relavence and history. We so much content in this continent. From Apartheid, Civil wars or Tribal wars, Blood diamonds, Sex trade, force Marraiges, Different Religion etc... So ma y countries we can draw inspirations from... Our history is bloody but bloody unique....
None in Africa can surpass stogie T
heavy 8 (Tumi, M2, Simphiwe, Verb, Golden Shovel, Menzi, Kaydo and Zubz).. we need a remix..or at least anada track, with this line up
I just need you to know that the only reason I subscribed is because of this nigga *Zubz* that was beyond amazing
EXE . who got download links to zubz music?
💪💪✍✍
No guys Zubz is an intellect a Prof Of Hiphop lyrical content...He Digs deep yeses
The fatherhood issue was a reach but great breakdown man
Great job Last Letter however I wish you had broken it down bar by bar from the beginning till the end tho bro. You missed out on other crazy bars
Stogie T is the Black Thought of Africa
No he is the Stogie T of Africa, How ever he is on Black Thoughts level and had a similar career! I do get you. English!
Thought is the Ultimate Jedi....Tumi hasn't reached that level yet.
@@tumeloseadira8224 you tripping...lol but that's your opinion g...
@@tumeloseadira8224 You saw thought sent him a DM after the Sway freestyle saluting him
