South African Hip Hop

Thanks to a link someone sent, I spent the weekend listening to South African rap-rave music.  I'm not proud, but there is something pretty interesting about the whole "Zef" (Afrikaans for "redneck") rap thing.  Admitedlly, I'm impartial to the Dutch tongue, so if you're not into clunky consanants, this is not for you.  Also, it's not safe for work.  

Way more information on Zuid Afrikaan rap here.

Cooler As Ekke's lyrics

We speck you guys find it, so hierso it straight from the man with the mustache, Jack Parow:

You think you're cooler than ekke's because you smoke cigarettes Yves Saint Laurent 
You think you're cooler than ekke's because you've got a tattoo of a snake on your tette. 
You think you're's cooler than me because you've got a poster of Led Zeppelin above your bed 
You think you're's cooler than me because you's every year at the J & B Met.

You're old news, I go with raw beats 
You lie and wait, I gan searching for something 
You're ice tea, I'm JP 
You's lite beer, I'm spirits 
You're the old with the new fresh look 
I'm the old with the Pep Stores pants 
I watch you, you koekeloer oukes 
You forward jokes even Vernon Koekemoer 
I'm great, you's spasties 
I take an poppies, you get an small kids 
You Voster's Tim, I'm Chris Edwards 
You innie's forests, I roll innie fat shit 
You're boring as campfire songs ommie 
my style slick sneak suutjies like a vampire 
your style kak soft like a pink Marshmallow 
girls screaming for just "one night in Parow"

You think you're cooler than ekke's because you're hanging with models and I hang with Slette 
You think you're cooler than ekke's because I'm a rapper and you sing in falsette 
You think you're's cooler than me because I ride on the bus and you're flying on a jet 
You think you're's cooler than me because you drive a Peugeot two six zero

You roll with a phone in your pen 
I still roll with a 3310 
My style casting sexy correctly 
You wear even breed Mr Price Red 
If I denied skrikkie entire breeding bar 
You get more money by breeding your mother 
I loose the whole Jol papnat 
If you start boarding the entire path Jollie vat 
I'm American jys Iraq 
I lat you bomb the weak kak spat 
I'm a Bic pen, you are a Mont Blanc 
You walk around with foam on your rear foot-edge 
I's original u's gecopy 
I'm a flash drive, you are a floppy 
You make sure you had your mom's fake 
Jack Parow bra I live like a straatmeit

You think you're cooler than ekke's because you drink at Ku De Ta and I drink at De decks 
You think you're cooler than ekke's because you are the gentleman's, bra eksie prette 
You think you're's cooler than me because I keep holiday in Hartenbos and hold holiday in Quebec. 
You think you're's cooler than me because you have the new issue of One Small Seed has

Jack Parow bra I'm a wild cat 
You eat caviar and couscous 
Klipdrif I drink, you drink Peroni 
You've got friends in Sweden, I have friends in Benoni 
I buy all my clothes at the local Pep Stores save more 
You buy all your clothes in a rear store 
You only wear Polo shirts breeding 
Shame, you listen to the Dirty Skirts 
My name's Parow, thick heavy uitgeskollie 
You seem like Jeremy de Tollie 
Jack Parow the life of the party 
You only wear breeding ISSEY MIYAKE 
You're too cool for school, ex moss kief 
I'm Grasshopper, jys Lacoste sports 
You flop lat the cake, I lat the house rice 
Your girl has a picture of me on her forever Space Case
