“I had a hand in getting Mandela released.” - Something Nota would say

To me this guy doesn't sound like a hater. Macg is the one who keeps coming back to Nasty C. Dude is just speaking his true opinion.

So it's my first time knowing Nota and I was so impressed by everything he said and he is! So now I Googled him cause I don't have any other social networks expect for whatsapp.. Did I not find out that he is marrying BERITA!! A WHOLE LOVE!!! I love her.. Now I love him!! I am so happy!! God bless you too😍🔥🎊

“He will look better regardless” 🙆🏾‍♀️. I just can’t hate on this guy

I like how NOTA tries to be as honest as possible without being NASTY about it.. Dope interview!

This Nota guy for sure seems to know what he's talking about. I am listening very attentively, my teachers would be proud.

Finally... someone brings Nota's opinions to audio-visual. This guy is important for the industry. The AUTHORITY

People are hating on what Nota is saying coz you are music fans you don't know behind the scenes. You only know what your favs tells you

I am so glad this is only part one. This is the shortest 1 hour long interview ever. He needs to come back more often.

This has been my favorite interview in a loooooooooong time.. I didn't even know who NOTA was until you called him the other day. I like people who are this open to answering questions honestly.

"They try to tell you how to do it, but they never did it themselves"

Too many “I” in his wordings... that signals a red flag 🚩..... otherwise nice interview

Nota is spilling the beans💯. He is a straight business man, he is not picking any sides.

Reminds me of Joe Budden, he understands the game. People don't understand him they think he is bitter. He knows the nitty gritty. Salute! Ownership people, Blacks let's own our shit.

Damn! I honestly was not aware of the work that Nota 🤴🏿 has done for the game! Big ups to him

Scoop has got nothing on Nota... Nota is levels 💯👏👌

Everytime he mentioned NASTY, I took a shot of Jager.. homeboy is so obsessed

Damn, I thought Nota is hating on Nasty but nah....this man is smart🔥🔥🔥

What an interview. Nota seems to be the "don't judge a book by its cover" kind of example,great guy,legend.🙌🏽

MacG likes gossip though😂 the way he gets excited about gossip

I am not a Hip Hop fanatic, but I say, this was one of the most entertaining interviews I have ever witnessed on this channel.

I could listen to this dude the entire day. A genius!!!

Iyooh MacG, A very GOOD question there by (24:51)..Great Podcast MacG. We also acknowledge everyone who put this show together, including the sponsors. Thank you all.

As a music lover I really appreciate the knowledge Nota dropped. And i think we need to look beyond 'beefs' and artist allegiances and start looking at the bigger picture. The SA music infrastructure is still growing and needs alot of transformation too. Great conversion.

Nota speaks a lot of truth tho, logical guy. Maybe too honest for some people on some subjects

Nota is smart, anyone can google and research but the way he delivers and remembers everything on point is so amazing.

Nota will spill the tea on everybody except Oskido! Oskido is the godfather of the SA music industry.

Prior to this interview I had no idea who this guy was. He dropped the knowledge so good. Thanks for this interview McG really enjoyed it 💐

Nota commands attention when speaking. I even forgot about MacG on this

Damn I then heard the word "Orchestrated" in this podcast more than I've ever heard, read and wrote it in my entire life😆😆

Luister!!!! Nota literally read my mind (well not entirely) with this whole SA Hip Hop industry. I’ve been trying to explain but couldn’t find the words but here he is😤🔥🔥

Lol Mac G for discussions like this one you can't have a person like Nota alone. You need another voice to debate some of the claims he makes or else you're going bite anything he tells you.

He is a realist and i got so much respect for Nota. We need people like him in the industry.

You can’t hate Nota, he has a point.

If you understand the music business, you will understand Nota...not gonna argue with music fans👊🏾

Not taking chances, I'm downloading this one in case it gets taken down ✌🏾

No one: Nota: Clean.

"speaking your mind- it's not being rude, but being real." - unknown

The controversy after this episode hehe

The best in the business, executive producer of the best selling hip hop album in the country. The authority.. gave a lot for the advancement of the hip hop game. At his age, very few have done what he has done.

I like this guy, I actually misinterpreted his tweets now I get him. He speaks the truth as it is and it's biting.

Damn.. I agree with Nota on this one, I consider 2014 as the best hip hop year in South Africa (Content) ...very competitive ..it's like those guys were on hunger game...but now the Game has changed

Am not a hip hop person but this brought some knowledge

i was actually impressed with Nota's interview. He literally broke down everything into perspective and made me understand how everything works. i don't want to lie i thought he was just a hater before i listened to the whole interview

Whatever Nota says I agree with😂😂😂 The confidence he speaks with!

We want part 2 Macg, The Authority is on 🔥 with the nuggets. One of the best episodes on this podcast for sure.

Nota has a point thou on Nasty c ZMWSP not being really as Zulu as the title suggests

This is the most important episode of all the episodes - This even more educational than Oprah's Master Class👏👏👏

So no one is going to talk about the two different hairstyles he has on his head. Oh okay.

Nota is not bitter he just wants to help build the industry

But Riky posted on twitter that the money for those tickets he bought for Fill Up Fnb was a donation!! Aiii these industry friendships are weird. One thing I don't get though why is NOTA here discussing other people's friendship??💀💀Weird shit💀💀💀 And how he held back when talking about his relationship with Kwesta! Weird💀There is some juicy scoop there!

Im sorry but Nota is right guys...just take your feelings away you gonna learn something about the industry from what he is saying. CAN'T wait for part 2 ziyawa

​Yeh! Spirit was the biggest song of the night at FNB

Nota is one visionary smart A$$ man! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! 🙌🏿

But also s/o to him for the work he put in the game and with Kwesta! Will not go unnoticed.

Nota is big headed no doubt - but he makes a lot of valid points

We need another interview with Mr Nota and other voices in the building ... just to hear what everyone else has to say

'' At the end of the day we all entitled to our own opinions ''

Every industry needs someone like Nota.

Ahhhhh am early yesesss, am from buying a counter book to take notes from Nota.. This guy must be very appreciated and recognized. He is eye opening and very rare.. #NgyabongaSelf... Thanks guys for putting him on so we get this info.

King Nota with the education all the time. I hope people involved in the industry are learning both present and future.

This Nota guy is spot on, there is no hating here just love for the hip hop game.

Bt also i sense alot of arrogance from Nota...too many "I dd" , "I helped" ,"I was the one hu ". " I took care of " Too many "I" ...he seems like those ppl who will help and u suddenly owe them for the rest of ur life ...u hav to compliment them all the time bc now according to them ur success is all bc of them...thy dont hv frm the heart bt for praises ....

Drop part two before you Jackie on us. Looooove love the authenticity Macgyver. It's this laugh that got you into shit with Fresh🤣🤣🤣. We love the Pod

I don't keep up with hip hop "politics" and all this beef but this interview gave such huge knowledge about the hip hop game.

I like how Nota just tells it like it is, No fear no nothing wow!

Interesting perspective from Nota, it's cool that he's telling about the side of the industry that I don't usually hear about... and I don't agree with everything he says but I like the fact that he's an open book...

The problem with Nota is yes he has expertise but it doesn't mean he is always corrected and doesn't want to be corrected or challenged.

The interviewer keeps disturbing/off ramping and it’s irritating for us who know how to pay attention for a longer period of time.

Call him bitter all you like, he's giving facts 💯 He is a little bitter mara lmao

This was the dope interview. It's up there on rates for me. Nota is that one guy who tells it like it is, until you think he hates ya. Honest dude!

This probably amongst the best Mac G Interviews I've watched, really enjoyed it, very insightful and fun at the same time. Great interview Mac G 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Nota is a legend.... realistic he understands the business side of music

This is one of the best and honest interviews on this platform.

Now I understand Nota, he is looking out for our local artists. Big up's.

Super excited, been waiting for this interview. Pity I might be drunk by 15:00pm🤣

This guy took over the show did Mac g even speak

Man...put your feelings aside and listen to what Nota's saying

He was 19 when he told Kwesta he’ll be the biggest. That’s remarkable.

I have a feeling this interview is going to ruffle some feathers, the sad part is that ppl are going to take bits n pieces of the interview n use that to make conclusions n attack the podcast without really understanding the context of the clip. Overall great interview n what I like abt Nota is that he doesn’t sugar quote anything n also gives probable solution to whatever he is not happy with. He is too real and ppl generally hate hearing the truth.

Give us Part 2 already. I loved this interview. Nota has that one thing I love so much; Say it the way it is. 🐐🔥

Saw your whatsApp status for this,,, drama yodwa. Can't wait 🤣🤣🤣

I loved this episode, I learned one, who Nota is, and a whole lot of industry nuggets here.

I was visiting and I ended up here...virgin commenter please like! Common sense is he is not Authority but he has a right to call himself that. He is highly knowledgeable. Taking his truth with a grain of salt. He is a human creature. I respect him and his opinion is valid.

Nota is spot on the amapiano issue. Tiwa savage has a amapiano remix on one of her songs Rema-women has a piano beat and it's charting.

Why can't Nota just expose Ambitiouz.😭😂 Some shady tingz happened daarso👀

Tjoo i dont listen to hip hop, nor have interest in it, but this Nota guy, ..he seem so knowledgeable regarding it, i tot i was not gona finish this interview but its the way this Nota guy elucidates,the way he dissected S.A hip hop, it captivated me, really enjoyed it, thanx Mac G.Nota is damn right about Jerusalem, it might be dead now in S.A, but in Europe it continues to make Nomcebo and Master Kg more money, recently it just went triple platinum in Italy, am not sure though about the country..i stand to be corrected.

This is the register for all Nota fans after this episode 🗺️

I love Nota for not being scared of dropping names.

The self aggrandizing, condescending attitude really stops the gems being dropped from shining.

Loved the podcast and love how Vocal and informative NOTA is...Had to watch this twice!!!!!

Thanx for Mzonkonko sound🎶🎵🎧, much respect 🙏🏽

Nota knows a lot of stuff but he got a bad analytical ability in which comes with strong assumptions without interacting & admitting the Facts. The stuff he said especially regarding our legends sales & moves it's the information you can access as long as you have passion for music & industry as a whole, there's nothing special about that unless somebody comes with a proper idea on how we can take our industry to the greater heights & shoot for the globe to see, the only movement taking place in SA Music is individuality movement not the industry as a whole but it's beneficial because if one of artist is recognized overseas it'll all set the spotlight to our industry & as far as I'm concerned my guy has no solutions regarding on how our artist can break to the globe markets but he's being critical to the Kid who is shooting for the moon & doing something that hasn't been done by any Hip-Hop Local Artist. Bts story you've got it twisted, the reason why Bts blew Global, they started the trend of doing something different from South Korean Music Culture which is starting writing music for themselves & touching on unspoken subjects on social issues that people are interacting but find it Hard to speak about. Even thou the label was there from the start providing them with everything but the main reason their music blew is them figuring out what will make them stand out from the rest. And BTS situation is the reason I believe Nasty C will help our industry & artist's to get attention because one of the reasons K- pop is popular today is BTS setting the spotlight on them even thou PSY Gangnam Style went viral before BTS but it did not help the K-pop until BTS came & the rest benefited from that & the thing K-pop created a fanbase of which SA doesn't have & the only way that will help to create a proper fanbase in the world is not in Africa because we'll always come 2nd to Naija if we target African Market so from observations it can be seen that Internationally our sound can be hyped thus Ndlovu Youth Choir & "Jerusalema & Nasty C is loved people overseas those who've come across his music & probably he's backed by most Africans. So crucify me I truly believe Nasty C is our industry & Africa changing factor if he blows up it'll be a totally different story on how Africans are interpreted globally.

There's still part two? 🤣🤣🤣 Hhayi I'm never gonna study

Watching this interview for the first time. I'm sure it will hit differently now than it would have when released. I really need to anaylize this conversation.

I personally think he's miss understood... I love how he thinks... I now understand why it's important to form your own opinion about someone after you've heard them out, and from this, there's no hate, he just needs to work on delivery... Thanks for the interview MacG 🔥

As an upcoming artist,I've learnt so much from this....thanks gee 🔥

He has that Dame Dash energy - too real.

Aiyyy man!!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 MacG and The Authority!!!!!!!!!!! I love What Yall Doing For Hip Hop!!!!

this interview is up there with the top interviews macg has done.
