Hip-hop artist Nasty C from South Africa has stated that Afrobeats and Amapiano are superior music genres to hip-hop.

Remixing a lot, he emphasized, is what makes Afrobeats and Amapiano more “original” in terms of melody and live instruments.

The singer of “Coolest Kid In Africa” claimed that most rappers pretend to be wealthy.

But he made it clear that he isn’t thinking about changing genres.

Speaking in a video that went viral on X, Nasty C declared that hip-hop was inferior to afrobeats and amapiano. similar to that of music. Man, let’s just call a spade a spade.

Naturally, there are certain [Afrobeats and Amapiano] songs that have a lot of autotune, like this ngga not saying sht. He is simply repeating “nysh” over and over. But original songs, live instrument rolls, and nggas with real vocal ability—that’swhatmakes music, dude. Their music is timeless.

We sample a lot in hip-hop. I’m not blaming hip-hop for anything. I adore hip-hop. I am a true hip-hop artist. I’ll always be a hip-hop artist. However, hip-hop is this weird game we play where everyone plays the part of a fake gangster, fake rich person, or fake baller. I’m over listening to nggas talk about spending money on songs. “Ngga, you spending nothing,” is how I feel. Give up the f*ck.
