MIND BLOWING VIDEO: Kenyan Grandmother Doing A Freestyle Rap In The Village
Over the weekend I was browsing music videos on YouTube, when I began to endlessly click around the related items(you know how YouTube can be addictive). Anyway, I was browsing around, when I stumbled on a video that was titled: “Nyanya atupa mistari.” I skeptically opened it, thinking it was one of those videos on YouTube with a misleading title, but lo and behold, I saw this:
MIND=BLOWN
I’m pretty sure you ain’t seen nothing like this before. Citizen TV had filmed a group of Kenyan villagers who were standing around a grandmother in true ‘cypher’ fashion. They cheer her on as she spits some LEGIT rhymes, such as:
“Ni wabaya wasio na haya, wanaojifanya hepa kuonekana mbaya
mashabiki mnawapoa,
kwenye plasma ikatoa,
kwenye safi mwaeka doa,
nini mnakingojea?
Si nawaambia ukweli?
hakuna sababu wa siri
mbanumbanu ya nini tusianze mikononi turudishane jikoni
kama Cheka ntatoka, ntatoka na style yangu
Temba anatoka, anatoka kwa style yake
urembo haina ukumu
wala haina majumu
nini kipaji changu? Kipaji kanipa Mungu.“
And the crowd goes wild after she finishes her freestyle, which clearly appears to be made up from the top of her head, as she refers to two people in the crowd, Cheka and Temba and points out their characteristics.
For further proof, she busts yet another freestyle after a short break, but you have to watch the video yourself for that one. Seeing is believing :)
As the presenter of the feature said, “ni msanii wa miondoko wa kufokafoka.”
