Okmalumkoolkat Ft. Amadando - GQI ( UK GUYS REACTION ) || @okmalumkoolkat ‏ @UbunifuSpace 

The name OkMalumKookCat” literally means " Ok Uncle Cool Cat ". He's known for his retro fusion of South African Kwaito, house, traditional Zulu maskandi music. He has distinctive weird, dumbed down rap flows and rhyme patterns and he could chime into any beat. He's also known for his highly influential urban street style which directly translates into his music. The guy is a genius in his own right, plus he's probably one of the most authentic South African artists of his generation.

That's a South African national dance anthem. If a Dj doesn't play that song, then we have problem lol

Came back in 2020... FLIP I forgot how much I love Okmalumkoolkat!!! GQI!!

OMG YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME THIS IS MY FAV JAM BY MALUME AS WELL AS 100K MACASSETTE!!!!

First of I would like to thank you guys for celebrating African music. I am a South African myself and I have been following you guys for a minute now. The artist's name is pronounced Okay Malum(uncle) Cool Cat. The title of the song is not an abbreviation but an onomatopoeia that refers to the sound that a song makes when the beat drops. This song is sang mostly in Zulu and the chorus, loosely translated means " I do not know what happened, I just heard beat drop then I just dabbed"... Anyways you guys are doing a great job. I hope you guys continue doing such great work and that God Blessed you even further.

My man at the back lowkey doing the mannequin challenge 😅

I am so proud to be a South African right now. No where in the world will you get that sound.

4:46 Dude in the back was so still, looks like he's photoshopped into the video.

I am so emotional right now!!!!! I've beeeeeeeeeeeen waiting for you guys to react to this song! Real South African Flava I tell you. This is the kind of music we jaaaam to. Okmalumkoolkat was able to bring that Gqom' house element and hip hop together, more so, rap in Zulu. Absolutely lovely and I'm glad you liked it too. Thank you so much for this. Stay awesome!

Dj Slique ft Shekinah- On it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

it is Zulu and it was filmed in a township in Durban, the lyrics relate to folklore we all grew up with...the beat is universal great job 😁

If only these guys understood the heat of this jam! The reactions weren't enough for me hahahaha but yeah, you guys are amazing still.

Hi y'all It's the kid of context Ngasii here with another quick bit of context for this video from the lovely Republic of South Africa, better known by its locals as Mzansi. So, Gqi (said like Okmalumkoolkat says in the song which is like a hard knock or cork popping of a bottle of champagne which uses the "q" click of the Nguni languages of South Africa) is a term used in a sentence that has something to do with arriving or coming rather fast or almost unexpectedly like a "there before you know it" sort of thing. Example : - ndizothi gqi ngoku - I will arrive just now. (Xhosa example) - ebese East London ngo9 wazothi gqi apha ngoku ngo 11 - he/she was in East London at 9 then suddenly was here already by 11. In this song, the hook is simply Okmalumkoolkat saying he has been taken over by a mysterious force whoch we csn conclude for now is the beat. He too has no clue how it has happened - all he knows is that he is being taken over. The tune is predomonently rapped in Zulu (well done girl, again I am sorry I have yet to know your name. I'm a Mess🙈) and is shot in his home township of Lamontvile, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (his hood). Hook: Nam'angazi nje (I too got no clue) Ngizwe ngento nje (I just felt something) Ithi gqi (it just came) Wash'umdanso (then came dancing) Sash'isigubu (then came the drumbeat) Baleka Koolkati (run Koolkat) Basile labant' (These peeps' crazy) Bazok'thathela, Malum' (Malum', They gonna snatch) Umdanso wakho, Malum' (Your dancing/groove/swag) The song is a sub-Genre of House called Gqom (large click sound for that like how you say 'Gqi') and is normally characterised by its simpler melodic lines, modern-african instrumentation and signature offbeat kick drum rhythms. Gqom songs tend to have a "dirtier" sound than the more harmony-driven House of South Africa and are generally in a minor key with a low underlying drone in root position that both starts, builds and sustains suspense through the song as you may hear in Gqi. I hope this aids and once again terrific job by you guys of Ubunifu Space💪✌🔥

hahaha it's the funniest thing seeing your reactions to SA music. the best is when you jam to it.

you guys are the best! Keep on bringing great reactions!

this makes me sooooo flippen happy😢😭😭

Super impressed by the attentiveness from the lady in the red jacket!

this is "gqom" which is more like club house here in SA ...and the Artist "Okmalumkoolkat" is a is more of a rap artist...and his name means "okay Uncle cool cat" in English...

I would like to hear your opinions guys, on K.O - Mission statement. this is my fav song.

Guys you are making me fall more in love with South African Music

Hey, I'm from SA and this song is suuper dope. It was done in a township called Umlazi where OkayMalukmKoolkat was born and bred. This song is so cool because it is a mix of Zulu and english and it's an old kiddies riddle in zulu but turned into Zulu. "Gqi" is just a sound which is what they say in the chorus... it goes "Nami angazi nje, ngize nge nto nje ithi GQI" (I don't know I just heard something go GQI)..." washo umdanso, sash' isigubbu" (there go the dance moves, there goes the music).

awesome. plz guys react to Priddy Ugly ft Saudi- In the mood

Please do a reaction of Stogie T ft. Yanga and EmTee - By Any Means...

Thanks Guys, this a guy who humbly aooreciate that you enjoy our music, MUch Love

It is basically the jam we dance to at the moment and Okmalumekoolkat just tears it down whenever he performs It would be great if these two songs were reacted to 1 Lifestyle Da L.E.S ft Gemini Major 2 Caiphus song A.K.A

it's not house it's called Gqom house-ish but with a lot of spice and yes it was in Zulu

"witness the funk" please check them out

Hands down there's no one like him in our country, but he's way too underrated or more like an artist suppressed by the dynamics of the industry

Best flow this winter best flow come summer

Kwesta - Mayibabo feat. DJ Maphorisa, DJ Buckz & OkMalumKoolkat

Guys , it's really easy to find information on South African musicians especially if you're online. Your show could have so much more nuanced commentary if you at least read about the cultures you intend to review before uploading the show. peace

This song is a fusion of New Age Kwaito and Hip Hop. Okmalumkoolkat mixes Zulu and English into his lyrics. He actually meshes his own Lingo into it. Very interesting artist, intriguing even to South Africans

Monique bingham,Black coffe-Deep in the bottom of Africa, true sound of the soul of south africa!

This is what is called GQOM the song is gqi (The gq is a click sound .... they they say they say the word when ever the best drops in the video ) ...... gqom is kind of house well let me say the relationship between the two is like the relationship between trap and hip hop .... basically it's a turn up version of house which it's lyrics make no sense whats so ever

NGUD - KWESTA

Please do more OK...guy is unique...that's an understatement really

u guys r awesome#Uk#Uk
