The kwaicore wars

The kwaicore wars. Thats what they should call it. Who's "they" you might ask? The lecturers who set us up to do weird briefs such as this. I have seen it all, from people helping out their fellow classmates to wanting to sabotage the same people. Kwaicore has not only ruined our internet usage but we are now wanting to tweet about it every second as opposed to interesting stuff. We are sitting here hopelessly behind our laptops praying that our Kwaicore blogs gain the ratings so that we can get the marks. Leave Kwaito and Hardcore music alone. Like any old classic car, it shouldn't be messed around with. I don't see why we have people out there who feel it's necessary to now promote something that soon won't exist in their lives after they receive their marks. Arthur Mafokate wouldn't want his music superimposed with some head banging genre of noise. Likewise with some pierced Bad Brains guitarist wanting to swing his hips around like a carousel. It won't ever happen, so why bother? There are so many better mash ups in the world and we're here promoting this? So glad these 6 weeks are over...

Apparently they call this Kwaicore??

Here's to a student who actually attempted to create an example of the infamous genre Kwaicore. Look, I hoped that this day would never arrive and that people would just carry on talking crap, but someone out there has obviously had other ideas (overachiever perhaps?). This is neither ghetto nor is it of head banging quality in my opinion, let me know yours.

Check this out and please tell me what better mash ups there could be

Written and performed by Thembelani Gumede aka Goomza, the song is entitled Kwaicore. Have a look...

I'm going to offer an alternative to Kwaicore

It's been a few days since I last posted but I am back. In the break, I took time to do a lot of research to show and explain my utter dislike for people trying way too hard. Music mash ups? not kwaicore, mass up. Is that what you're keen on? I'll give you a mash up site that really knows what they're doing! Check A real mash up and let me know what you think.

Here's a site dedicated to the real "mash up trend"
Acapellas Heaven

So to all you kwaicore freaks, here's the real thing.
