SAMA FEVER SYMPTOMS

SPEEEEECH !!! First of all I wanna mention the SAMAs, the most important awards (even more than the MAMAs). Yes my people the awards show that proves every year that young people are losing interest in supporting their favorite artists. Yes people older folks are loyal to their causes (even more so than White folks). Disagree? When was the last time the Song Of The Year came from a Best Selling Album ? (Don’t worry, I’ll wait !!). You see, the huge majority of us young’ns stopped caring about buying albums when music stores stopped selling cassette tapes (remember them? ). Then we moved on to burning, then it became MP3 CDs, now it’s MP3s, burning, free downloads, and the infamous Bluetooth. Damn, we some digital pirates, we don’t even need to go to the coast of Somalia.
Speaking of digits, the South African Music Awards is this Saturday (May 2), and I’m awaiting them like a pregnant mother. The 5 finalists for the highly anticipated will be announced this Worker’s Day on ONE (21:00), but after I had me a look-see into my magic 8Ball and it gave me some predictions. Here they is in no particular order :
1. DJ Cleo – “Hands Up” (C’mon, this is a DJ Cleo Production)
2. Big Nuz – “Ubala” (They did after all make you speak like you were from KZN)
3. DJ Clock – “Umahamba Yedwa” (With Tira and Soul Candi cosigning, it gets a nod)
4. Lira – “Wam Paleha” (She sells plus she’s a radio favorite)
5. Rythmic Elements – “2 By 2” (They ruled radio and they owned the Metro Awards)

That’s my 5 and I’m sticking to it (until 9PM on Friday), these people were not chosen because of favouritism. No. They were chosen cos making hits is their favourite. They’ve been the soundtrack to the nation since early 2008 and we’re still bangin’ some of them. So let’s wait until Friday so that we can await Saturday.
Check out the SAMAs this Saturday (May 2) 20:00 on SABC1

Yours Sincerely

LIFE AFTER ELECTIONS

Damn, it hurts to get your hopes crushed. You hope and hope (and hope) that your city’s team at least makes it through the season and BAM! You get disappointed so bad you feel like an orange with no juice. That’s water under the bridge and I am letting it flow, but what really is gonna have a big-ass impact on my life is the outcome of that 2009 election (damn, that’s a disappointment). Maybe I’m being a little pessimistic, maybe dude will be a better prez than he is a person. I say everybody deserves a shot (even Zuma). One person who did not deserve to get shot was COPE activist Gerald Yona, who was gunned down allegedly by ANC members a day after the elections. It hurts my heart when this happens, to a breadwinner too.
A definite winner is JOZI’s new single “Keep It Movin’”, that song is so hot even I didn’t notice it heating up. That’s definitely be one of my favorite songs for the year, even Bongz is on there motivatin. With L.E.S. nominated in the upcoming SAMAs for a couple awads including Best Video for “We On Fire”, Best Rap Album for “Fresh2Def” and the hugely contested Song Of The Year for “We On Fire”, their soon-to-be-released Muthaland Crunk 2 should bang out. Speaking of L.E.S. and the SAMAs, dude is facing some tough-ass competition in his categories (especially that Song Of The Year). But hey, anything ingenzeka, remember how HHP owned last year’s SAMAs ? Speaking of HHP, apparently he did a collabo with Fatal Hussein from 2Pac’s Outlaws. According to the Jabbaman, it’s so hot you’ll keep wipin’ your forehead (not in so many words).
One thing that is real simple is the fact that JOHN DOUGH’s ‘’ Bek’ Indlebe” is damn hott.

And with that said, I retire cos I got that fire. See y’all next time.

P.S.: Give the shower dude a shot, who knows he could “clean up” the mess made by previous prez.

AFTER EASTER

Man, that was one hell of an Easter. First they hate us, then they love us, then they hate us again (I’m talking about those SPLASH FESTIVAL organizers). Basically, my artist/partner (JOHN DOUGH) was slated to be one of the opening acts for mega rap group SKWATTA KAMP, but a day before the performance they call to tell us there is no “space” for us on the “programme”. That was last week and I’ve since brushed that off, but one thing I will never brush off is the HOTTSTASH ENTERTAINMENT anthem (JOHN DOUGH’s “Bek’ Indlebe ”) that I posted. Yes, I am riding for this till the death. You see, I’m not hypin’ JOHN up, I’m merely just stating the facts, AKAVELANGA LOMNTU !! The track is one of three from his demo, and it is in actual fact one of the illest songs to come out in a long-ass time. So go ahead and do as you please with it, LISTEN AND DOWNLOAD, BUT NEVER IGNORE. I got a really good feeling about this song, don’t u ? plus that beat is enough to give you goosebumps (heita hola, BOOGA).
1. Another thing that’s “unbrushoffable” is SABC 3’s hilarious, new show, Last Say on Sunday. It’s hosted by Darren Maule
(yup, the lanky White dude from PLAY TV is back), and godddamn is he sarcastic as hell. The show is kinda like your regular late-night show with desk and whatnot. He pokes fun at the events that occur in the past week (from sports, music, politics, entertainment to breaking news), he also gets assistasnce from actors and comedians posing as some weird-ass individuals. Like this past Sunday (second episode), he had this dude(Fannie something) who was supposed to be some sports reporter but instead lays down his negative views. Here’s the funniest one :
Darren : What do u think about the FIFA 2010 World Cup coming to S.A. ? That has to be good with the tourists bringing in all that money.
Fannie : No, that’s bad. Those foreigners are bad for our economy, cos’ they’ll stay and take all of our jobs.
Check out LAST SAY ON SUNDAY, Sundays at 21:00 on SABC 3.

Last night also saw the second episode of another one of SABC 3‘s hot new shows. This one is an arts and entertainment show and it’s called FLASH! It basically showcases all that’s poppin’ in entertainment. Last night their “TOP 5” was on comedians, and it went as follows :
1) TREVOR NOAH
2) John Vlismas
3) David Kau



Don’t worry about the other two (good things come in threes, you know?). I simply cannot conform to this, so I made my own TOP 5, here it goes:
1) TREVOR NOAH
2) Loyiso Gola
3) Roni Modimola
4) Ntosh Madlingozi (I put on for my city, heita hola P.E.)
5) CHRIS FORRESTER (Damn, that nerd is funny)

That’s my TOP 5 and I’m stickin’ to it.
Check out, Wednesdays at 20:00 on SABC 3.

P.S.: DON’T EVER FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE TRACK I POSTED, IT’S HOTT.

Yours Sincerely

“chillin’ in my beemer …’’, I’m kiddin ‘ I don’t got a car, I just felt like announcing my entry into the blogosphere . As y’all have probably noticed, I ain’t never blogged a day in my life, and now feels like the best time ever for me to get in, so CAN I LET MYSELF IN ? Firstly, my name is PYRO from PORT ELIZABETH, SOUTH AFRICA and I’m blogging for the satisfaction of those who ,like myself, crave knowledge. That said knowledge is about ,that’s right, ANYTHING. (Anything ?!). That anything is anything that’s interesting in this here country (HOTTSTASH ENTERTAINMENT, my burgeoning record label being one of ‘em ) we love so much. Secondly, I pride myself in being pro-local in that almost all of anything that’s in this blog is local (music, news, videos, pics ,etc.), I’m only doing that cos I likes to start edladleni (home), plus summer ’08 showed me that local music is still hot. Thirdly, I represent HOTTSTASH ENTERTAINMENTas the co-owner of the record label that’s gonna change the game. My partner, rapper JOHN DOUGH a.k.a. ANANYMUZ is the premier artist and you will always find info on his progress right here. Lastly, I understand how powerful you (yes you) are and I appreciate your support and time and hope you enjoy every second of being on my blog ,thank you.
.
P.S. : VOTE SMART , and you might help to prevent ,you know who from being prez (can you believe the outcome ?!)
