Most underrated MC in S.A Register if you are here to show love to Stogie T 👇

Who’s still here 3 years later.

This is the only channel that did the most to catch Stogie T's bars🤞🤞🤞🔥🔥🔥

This is the most educated reaction i've seen 🔥🔥🔥

South Africans I was send by south african government to come mark the register ,if present you know what to do👇👇👇👇

Seeing Americans respect our OG brings a smile to my face, Stogie is hip hop purist, he is about the craft and he woke af.

Y’all broke it down beautifully!!! Best reaction by far 🇿🇦

Stogy T is a genius. He doesn't just rap, he educates you about political and socio-economic issues.

I couldn't believe my eyes, because I'm south African and this is my favorite reaction channel!!!

The guy on the left looks like Mandoza

13:27 "I'll put your certified Hyenas in Elephant graves" - Elephant graves are really big so he's saying he'd bury a whole lot of Sway's certified hyenas. It's also a Lion King reference on how Mufasa banished all the hyenas to live in the shadows, which was an elephant grave. Mufasa being the king

When I first heard this, I said "this guys one of the best in the world". I'm from UK and been listening to US and UK hiphop for over 20 years.

Wow. He’s uber talented and entertaining, but the lyrics broke my heart and opened my eyes.

"Writer's club" by ProVerb the South African OG. one of the greatest lyricists from the continent

2 years later I finally understand this freestyle well😂🔥🔥🔥😳

I'm pretty sure I've watched this more than 50 times 😰🔥🔥

South Africa finally on lost in Vegas 🔥🔥

I requested this, Thank you guys

“Former heroes giving birth to spoilt rotten kids” is inadvertently a jab at the kids of many of the leaders who fought for liberation in South Africa but he’s saying that by virtue of being children of such great leaders they are born into a cycle of responsibility and expectation but many of them fail to meet any of these expectations and use their surnames as a ticket to living a life that they haven’t worked for. Thus being said, they also use their surnames as an excuse to absolve themselves from the problems of modern society and live on preempted pedestals that they played no part in creating.

As an American born kid from West African ( Nigerian ) lineage, shout out to this lethal spitter and South Africa!!!

You two are the first reactors to FULLY get what Stogie T was saying...Love it!!! Proudly South African_ZA

In SA hip hop history you can't say hip hop or rap without saying Stogie T he is one of the forerunners of our hip hop culture in South Africa!!!

South Africans owns the youtube comment sections , they everywhere😂

It gives me goosebumps I've watched it more than 50 times and still this remains the best reaction

Damn yall reacted to one of the greatest of SA, For music react to Zakwe ft Stogie T - Roots

Mad Love for you guys covering Stogie T Coming from Uganda 🇺🇬 Africa we got 1 too

He endured a lot of mockery from other artists and people in the music for doing his rap the American way, I admire his vision of being global, and his persistence. he got the stripes and made way for the like of Nasty C who do it now with less to no criticism for rapping American. Stogie T is a Global Rapper, he is a Poet.

I wish you guys could do "Proverb - writers club" One of the best ever

This a lesson to all rappers all over the world that they need to read books.

4 years later, still listening to this reaction. Stogie T is GOD SENT!

These guys are geniuses, they can analyse lines

Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 to this channel and my neighbor South Africa 🇿🇦

Man this dude is nice!!! How come I've never heard of him? Love from a Nigerian subscriber!

People forget Stogie is also a poet. So he is well educated when it comes to metaphors, rhyme schemes and even history.

Stogie T is a BOSS and a true HYENA

When he said "It's half apPARENT you getting MIXED messages" after mentioning Trevor Noah was just sleek AF. Considering Trevor is mixed race. Sheesh!

watched tons of reactions but this right here is the best reaction ever

I keep coming back to this💯 NA🇳🇦

I love how Stogie T took full advantage of the platform he was given. This is great. Thanks for that detailed analysis (this is beyond the blind reaction videos flooding KZfaq) #Respect.

Elon Musk was born in South Africa. this dude is next level

Namibian here. Damn, this dude was killing it! So much of South African history and stories in that song. You can really make a 3 hour discussion just about what he said. I need to find the words for this song so that I can read it through. So good!

"14:38" 38 is also a reference to temperature. When someone's temperature reads 38 degrees Celcius (100,4 degrees Fahrenheit) it's usually due to fever/the flu, hence the need for a flu shot and contrast to how others are lukewarm whereas Stogie is hot.

Every year I come back to this reaction 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I am from S.A but I learnt sooo much from this reaction 🙆

This ain't no student of the game don't get it twisted this is an underrated legend

You gents did justice to Stogie T's work, check what he does every Friday. Also check Proverb - Writers Club, it's from 2012 but those bars are timeless 🔥😩

I still come back to this freestyle years later. I’m such a fan of Stogie T and I love the analysis here of his genius lyrics. So reflective and so true!! 🇿🇦

Finally 😭🔥🔥🔥... South Africa!!

Not stopping till you do Stogie T - God's Eye

“Last time somebody spit this far, David Blane” David Blane is a famous magician known for best spitting fire with his mouth. His show used to be broadcasted on channel 128 back in the days

I have officially watched this 100times. This is some knowledge from HipHop heads not these new kids

Our boy finally getting his Lost In Vegas debut!!! We love it!

South Africa stand tf up.

Can we talk about that ''delta'' line🔥🔥 Stogie is a genius

The “elephant graves” line is in reference to how Mufasa only allowed the hyenas in the elephant grave yard in The Lion King

If you really want to be blown away by more of his writing, then I highly recommend you listen to God's Eye. In a couple years we can argue that this may be an overlooked classic.

React to proverb, "writers club"

I think it's crazy how I only got the "Orange juice concentrated" line 3 years later but it was deep. When he pronounces it it sounds like "aren't Jewish concentrated" like the concentration camps but you could also hear it as "orange juice concentrated" which speaks to our version of Cool-Aid but also has a triple entendre on when everything is pretty and sunny ❤️‍🔥 crazy

I don't like repeating things. I normally watch something once and keep it moving. With this reaction though I can't get enough of it. You guys paid proper attention and gave proper time to the OG Stogie T. A classic freestyle deserves a classic reaction and you guys gave one. So here i am again. Respect👊

Elon musk was born in South Africa hence that line about him..

🇿🇦 South africa and Africa as a continent approves of this channel 💪💯 Can you react to one of South African best lyricists Pdoto - Soaked in bleach Bars after bars

This is my 100th time here Love from Kampala ,Uganda,East Africa

Jeez, I keep coming back to this reaction so much. Just to keep you guys on the loop. The walking reference is talking about Nelson Mandela‘ shook: Long walk to freedom

YES 🇿🇦 10/10 you guys broke down rhe bars like no any other 🔥

Man this is CRAZY!!! Never in a million years did I think you guys would react when I requested this! Made my day for sure 🙆😭😭

For about 2 years I keep on coming back to this reaction 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 remain the best reaction channel ever 👌🏽

That was a whole lecture. Truly genius.

I requested This!!!! Thanks guys. I'm happy Stogie represented 🇿🇦

Really appreciate these kinds of vids, I would've probably never heard of this guy if it wasn't for reactions like these! Keep up the great work

“I put your certified hyenas in elephant graves”: That’s actually a reference to Lion King. The hyenas (Scar’s cronies) would hang in the elephant graveyard. That’s the forbidden place Simba and Nala ventured until Mufasa saved them from trouble.

This is the most useful and meaningful REACTION to any video I've gotten, by far. You've helped me with understanding Stogie's Sway; unlike folly chatter and noise making we're getting for reactions. Thank you 🙏🏽

I'm so happy yall did this much love from🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

“Former heroes gave birth to spoiled rotten kids” This speaks across continents. We see it in UK, US and AUS!

man you guys did an incredible job breaking this down. Stogie T is on a different level, he so good , knows the game in and out and still studies it like a student

Didn’t realise how much I missed from hearing Stogie T the first time. Damn 🔥🔥🔥

React to Roots Stogie T ft Zakwe And also Honey and pain- Stogie T

SOUTH AFRICA where u at>>? PLS REACT TO NASTY C ON SWAY FREESTYLE

2 years later ,i still come here for hits🔥

I've watched this reaction many time I don't get bored yall are great

If you hadn't said he was from South Africa, I would've asked which of the five boroughs he was from. Dude has some tough bars with a NY-vibe.

"hyenas in elephant graves" has to be a reference to lion king , the hyenas used to live in the elephant graves , cause they were scared of mufasa, which links back to james earl jones again like the coming to america reference!!

Finally came across an informed reaction to this freestyle, I have been following this dude since Thumi and the volume.

This react makes me as south African appreciate Stogie T so much 🥺

South-American Suriname is where i'm from..you put me on this guy..he's dope asf

I'm glad y'all put me on to this artist. Gonna be following him.

Best reaction I have seen so far, this guys really read between the lines. Reason Sway said Stogie T had the best verse from Africa on his show 👌🏽🤙🏽

Y'all just got a new subscriber from South Africa for this reaction...the way y'all unpacked his bars damn I'm here to stay. 🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️💯

Love y’all both!! But Damn y’all reallyfucked up on the “Reading Langston Hughes, el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz and them, shit // In the pocket like the Audubon assassin” 😂 el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz is better known as Malcolm X. So when he follows with “in the pocket like the Audobon assassin” - he’s referring to Malcolm X being killed in the Audobon Ballroom -- if y’all remember one of the Audobon assassins yelled “get y’all hand outta my pocket” And the double entendre meaning “...in the pocket” referring to being on-beat aswell!! Y’all messed up on that one!!! And that was one of the craziest lines in the whole thing!! I was certain y’all were going to go crazy for haha! But beautiful work as always bros!

Once you go SA you'll never go back, please react to more South African music

Awesome review, Stogie T on my radar now, Fire!

I love how insightful you are, you'l catch everything!

I have never clicked anything so quick 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Great breakdown of this. This dude is crazy!!!

Stogie is my first SA hip-hop love. From his Tumi from the V days. He's a legend now.

I've been coming back here just to see how y'all break it down ... best reaction channel ever. The intellectual break down is thee best

Also the hyenas in elephant graves is a lion king reference😅

Finally Stogie T 🇿🇦 stand up 💪 Africa 🌍 one love 👌

Very dope reaction... I knew this will be worth watching, I just love how yall break down lines🔥💯

Quite literally the best reaction I’ve seen to this freestyle 🙌🏾.

"I'm from that continent of long walk accomplishments" This refers to Nelson Mandela's book "Long Walk To Freedom" then he ties it in with the "Former Heroes" bar basically saying that the kids of our struggle heroes are spoilt because these former heroes made a profit from democracy. Also, these "heroes" are corrupt and feel they are above the law, and often get their kids out of sticky situations as was the case with President Zuma with his son
