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
