EPISODE 530 I Thabo on Music, Black Motion Split with Murda Bongz, DJ ZInhle, Zodwa Wabantu, Kalawa 

This is literally the first time i've heard this man talk ..

This guy is not jealous, he gives credit to everyone

We gotta admire Smol's Loyalty even when he answers these questions he tries by all means not to throw dirt on his brother

Thabo protected bongani, thats true brotherly love. Although i don't know if bongani would do the same

MacG is an impeccable interviewer you cant take that away from him.

Bro Code 107: Never speak ill of your bro even after fallout

At her peak, Bucie spoke so well about Smol's abilities and I started seeing him differently and this interview just detailed everything as well. Wishing Thabo well in the future

I went to school with Thabo, he has always been this chilled, a nice guy and respectful.

It's him calling DJ Zinhle MaZet for me😂🤣🤣 Such a cool gent

Smol is a music encyclopedia for real 🎉🎉🎉

Thabo is an artist, a musician, a genius. To be honest I didn’t know him like this. I can chill with this dude all day, his music taste 💯

Thabo is a genius, his narration is eloquent n well informed. 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼

I hope i will be alive for that Blackmotion reunion. This episode has classic written all over it.🤩🤩🤩

To all those who went to the Black Motion catalog during and after this interview ❤memories!

This guy knows music. He's in the same level as Zakes. He's a perfectionist.

Proudly Pretorian ✊. Music knowledge was impeccable

His face glows💫 when he speaks about Murda, I so wish they were both there to share these wonderful stories 🤞🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏. Rainbow was magic

Whenever I see this guy, I just hear "Ke Jele Ke Jele" 😂😂😂😂😂

Honestly i wish this guy lots lots lots of richness in everywhere you can think off....this guy looks like a good guy

I wish we had pop up pictures at the bottom when Thabo mention these guys from ko Kasi. Majita don't get enough flowers. This is a way to thank them and show appreciation so we can recognize them as well

Thabo is a true music genius! 💚

I really like how he explained the Black Motion issue and how DJ zintle wasnt involved .

This is the first time I’ve seen Sol listening to someone so intently / not much talking and them sitting so close to an interviewee 😅 like they are about to sit on his lap

Thabo Smol is genius and a music library for sure already watched 3 times and the fact that he didn't trash talk anyone and gave everyone their flowers deservedly says a lot about him he LOOOOOOVES BLACK MOTION!!! And music I understand why he is saving the brand.

Macg is so excited😂😂 you can def see that they're friends in real life

Bongani is talented but love the lime light and the fame packs Thabo is also talented and respects the business behind the lime and fame

You can tell Thabo misses Murda man.😢 I pray y'all to be together again.

Bro code is on another level to this brother!! He’s not speaking ill of his brother even though they ain’t seeing with one eye. Much respect to you Thabo 🙏🏽

Oh, I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Smallz took me back to my high school days.. Barcadi was a thing back then. The fact that I grew up in Soshanguve, I can relate to everything he's saying. He just put a smile on my face. Reminiscing on the good old days 😌 😊. I pray that one day, things work out between him and Morda. We miss the original black motion duo.

After Shebeshxt this is one the most Organic interviews you've had,Smol Is a Real One👌🏿

The one thing that i have learnt in this organic interview is that PTA is the home of music and musicians in South Africa,. Thanks Thabo for the interview.

I’m from Sosha, and used to travel to school by taxi and I remember this time when we used to hear new music in taxis.

Kore you can litterally see his face light up whenever he mentions mörda❤. Will never forget the performance black motion gave us eBiblos back in 2022 The drums lorrrdd!!!!!

The love on Thabo’s face 🥲🥹

It’s how Mac loves Thabo for me🥹🥰the smile sana

This is the best interview in months....really represented 012 fully.

MacG knows how to get people to spill the beans..

Wow Thabo Smol thank you for fighting for Black motion brand , may you continue producing spirtual songs.

"Not real musicians are as famous as the realest" Smol. This was a killer interview, I was so shocked by this interview. Thabo is a genius, I was so surprised! I liked how he never criticized Morda when they expected him to. What a great soul he is! He spoke so well on Morda. I'm actually one of those who understand where Maphorisa comes from. It has always been like that it is just Phori, like Mac said he used township lingo. Backroom studios work like that, even Major companies used to be like that! If it's in my computer it's mine, those are unwritten Laws of the industry. I like the foundation idea. At the end we need to gather all the drums and fill up FNB Stadium and we'll get the lights to do the show. I'm a slightly older guy than Thabo and got the same spirit, I love drums with all my heart. I'm a rhythm person, DJ'd a bit and played a lot of drums in my life.

BLACK MOTION IS BIGGER THAN THE BOTH OF THEM. They owe us a reunion!!

Thabo is passionate about music

This interview was so necessary 🙌🏾 . Thabo nna kea o rata shame.❤ Great personality. Musical genius

Can we give Dr Moruti his flowers 🎉😢 “swollen legs” my all time fav ❤️📍

Thabo is a humble pure soul, music genius, spiritually grounded ❤❤❤

This interview is giving me goosebumps, Ten83 Problem child

I always meet Thabo Smalls at Panorama Engen Garage, very cool guy, I like this guy.

He knows his stuff ❤when he said Barcadi was from Mamelodi 🎉

Black Motion - It's You (feat Miss P) CLASSIC😭😭🔥

Wow this was one for the books... don't remember the last time I enjoyed an interview like this🔥🔥🔥

MAC G is good shame!!💯

I honestly think he is being so polite and careful on his answers about the break up situation coz he still "WANTS AND WISHES" for a black motion reunion .. so if he speaks the truth and lets everything out , then he would have destroyed all the chances of black motion ever getting back together .. He even gave Bongs a chance to do his thing "Growth" on the side but asked him to still continue with black motion ( with him ) .. But "pillow" talk got Bongs so messed up he wasnt having it ... but if he remembers the first look he got from Bongs the first time they met , then he will get all his answers .. Bongs believes he is greater than Thabo and Black motion .. so all he needed was "parafin" from pillow talks then it was done ..Bongs basically clang on to Thabo coz he knew from day one that he Thabo had something special that could help him take off then when Zinhle came into the picture , he saw her as the stepping stone for his next level meaning he doesnt need Thabo anymore .With that being said , Bongs is a dick .

first time to hear this guy in an interview, im blown away

Rainbow is also my favourite Black Motion song. 😊

This interview really showed how mutual is thabo smol unlike murda, never spoke ill about your brother no matter what

If I could have one wish come true, it would be to spend a day with Thabo . He is beyond genius 🎤🇧🇼

i say black motion should come back together we miss u guys

Thabo is an amazing storyteller, 😮❤

This is the kind of friend of the show we want to hear from.....Smallz took me back to my Soshanguve days. Pretorians really love music and socials. This episode gave me so much of Music Nostalgia.

This episode went from 37k to 39k right infront of my eyes

I met Thabo Smol at a SALGA conference in JHB last year for the first time, he was booked to perform with Problem Child, what an amazing gent!! I've never met a respectful & humble celebrity like him. May God bless him.

Thabo is a music genius and a very good story teller. Humble t oo🙏

MacG and Sol You seem to be having a lot of fun with Thabosmol; this podcast is incredible-it's so complex and well-paced that everyone is watching.

This was my favourite for 2024 so far pure gold. I love how they were schooling macg about the phori situation he likes acting clueless about how the music business works shout out to smol.

This year McG doesn't allow booze to get the better out of him, he has been so amazing and keep it up my brucade, we are hearing leading, probing, divergence and inference questions at a go.

Thabo breaths music! Such a cool guy ❤️ thanks to the podcast we got to know this amazing guy! Oh and damn he’s a good story teller!

This was perfect episode. Loved it. Regarding the split, I think their biggest fallout was doing things without informing eachother and having assumptions about eachother, is what caused the actual split. For e.g. Apparently, (according to Mörda) he said that Thabo Smol, asked to take break from international gigs, and he said "maybe" the travelling were taking a toll on Thabo Smol's mental health. Now, Thabo Smol explains it, as perhaps he was no longer what Mörda's would prefer them to be(as Black Motion)bcs he is not into Luxury Designers. Their break up is so heartbreaking. And I wish they could get back together, even as brothers who make music together and not as a duo it's fine.

This guy is a musical genius, speaks a whole lot of sense.

I got a feeling that the other guy fuelling the split was Oscar Mbo (Gucci, fashion)from the way he's speaking it

My Dad used to play Sony Stitt, Juke Ellington, and Herb Ellis during my upbringing. I miss those days ❤

Once he mentioned Nina Simone-Baltimore I knew this guy loves music

Let's give Mac his💐💐💐he knows how to milk important answers that are hard to come out and switch the topic immediately to give the guest time to breathe then bring another hectic question 👌👌 aaahh man beautiful interview 👏👏thanks Thabo for coming through much🫶🫶

Give Sol his flowers his just the perfect co-host, his knowledge in music is vast but he was able to chill back and let Mac cook as he understood Mac's fascination with this story. Love you both my brothers. I've met Mac and his great but I'm so anxious to meet Sol.

This man protected Morda by any means. I wish Morda could do the same for him. I hope one day they reconcile and make more music because they are both extremely talented

No one and i mean absolutely no one speaks about Madala Kunene , he definitely knows his music

He breathes music.. he is a genius, the love he has for music❤❤❤❤ and the respect he has for everyone ❤❤❤

Thabo is spiritual and I love that abt him. Together with Morda they are a bad ass combo. I'm just glad there's no bad blood between them. Beautiful show guys it felt like I'm having a convo with my boys so natural and informative .

From back when Morder and Smol were Black motion you'd tell from their interviews who was the most musically knowledgeable,The Guy knows his Craft!! I actually see an actor in Him as well....

He is a true expert in this field, respect! Very educational I wish there was a doccie of the Black Motion journey.

Morda is gonna be in tears again watching this episode

Thank you for keeping Black Motion in motion, I still vibe to Rainbow even now. 🎵

Thabo smols is Pretoria and Pretoria is him...!! He love soshanguve n Pretoria so well. His loyalty is from heart... .love his narrative. ❤ Big up t-man smols

The love is real between Morda and Smol,i feel always respect them for "set me free" record

Shout out to Ntate Manamela... A legend indeed

This episode worth a repeat ❤this guy he got experience in this music industry

The podcast has met their match here😂😂Thabo was dodging those questions

Thabo is junior Oskido he is a genius 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Problem Child and Da Capo, peak tribal house 2010-2012/13 😢❤

Thabo Smol is a great conversationalist 👌🏾

Lepara ka go saluta, taking the flag ya Sosha to the top. Respect. We are proud of you.

He has a ZCC background I swear!!! His mama sang for a ZCC gospel group… That’s why the river and mountains… that what we do to connect with our spiritual side …

The man behind the music. A musical genius....an encyclopedia of music. Now we understand every element, every sound in Black Motion. This was a Masterclass

Don't forget to become members Chillers. That is your contribution to the community and society at large.

Got mad love for this brother and his craft, bless him and his foundation 🔥

my admiration of Thabo just grew 10 folds, talking about creating generational legacy through music brand, big ups

THABO really knows MUSIC
