My favourite poem by the grootman is 'Words'

i grew up listening to this man and am proud to say his poems made me become a woman with respect since the storylines were more related to kasi stories. my favourite is Glen Dlamini

"Esgcela you meet people whoinspire you elokshiniyou meet people who discuss ukuth uban utshontshen" yeah that hit deep.......

Siyabonga mfo kaMnisi ngokusilethela leNyosi yeSizwe uGift, kwangathi angavuka ebuthongweni amaAfrika amahle.✊🏾

"WORDS" Oh my soul it hit home

So proud, so inspired. This gentlemen we met at Cida City Campus in 2000. Wow, it's funny how things change yet still stay the same. More mature and feel lucky to have witnessed his origins at that time. What a wonderful piece "Not Going Back To The Township". I had to close my eyes and listen it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟👊👊👊🤝🤝🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯💯💯

so the artwork on concerning blacks is actually Jan Van Riebeeck, the concept was basic that colonisation is still is concerning black , economical hence the coin concept and also we shouldnt forget who is responsible , that was the concept

Concerning Blacks did actually provoke me the whole album is dope ❤ Mangaliso Prof our Father

I've been listening to this for over 20 years now and it's my first time seeing how he looks like 🙆🙆
