If i was to say to you.........
 

Artist: Savage
Song: Swing


Without googling it, what would you say?


(simply out of curiosity)

my sister bumps that fucken shit everyday, wack as fuck and dude is biting the shit out of ja rule..

I would say, in the great words of any act/actor/person/ethnic group Robin Williams can imitate:

"Fuckoff"

The reason Im posting this, is cause he's from NZ, and hes just signed a deal with universal.

Im seriously sitting here like, the fuck? He has NO skill at all, just a gimick and a lucky break (song was on the movie 'Knocked up')

I made this thread wanting to know what people in America ACTUALLY thought, cause our industrys getting feed some crap about hes blowing up over there, Im sitting here like, if he blows up Ill knife my left nut, grill it, cheese on it, bbq sauce and eat my own left nut for dinner.

also, dont let this guy be a ambasador for NZ Hip Hop, he is no reflection of whats going on here.

man.....

when i think of savage...............i think of new zealand hip hop defined......



isnt he like..........the only rapper in new zealand?


*takes cover*

(post google)

heard that song on the radio but didn't know the artist's name... and DEFINITELY didn't know he was from New Zealand. not to sound ignorant, but he doesn't sound like he's from New Zealand. :huh:

Whats someone from New Zealand spose to sound like?

ahah, Cunt !

DAMN i hate being ignorant... i dunno, i THOUGHT most people in NZ spoke with an accent similar to an Australian accent but not really. BUT, that could just be my ignorant American ass making a generalization.

Yeah, I thought the reason Americans grow up and wonder why other people don't speak American, is because there is no other country, including the closest white-dominated one (Canada) that speaks with our "Accent".

<_<

lol, nah Im pretty sure we dont have much of a accent. Its like a blend of America, UK and Aus. Guess we all good things packed into one small country. lol

Dunno, take a look for yourself I guess.

i understand that even the phrase "accent" is ethnocentric 2v, believe me... you're preaching to the choir, thats why i said how much i hate being ignorant.

but word, guess i just didn't quite have a grasp on the sound of traditional NZ linguistics. but yeah, its definitely a unique mix... kinda dope. so whats the racial break-up in NZ? like, is the race of those artists mostly Afro-centric or are they indigenous to NZ or what?

word.

Our indigenous people are Maori. We are considered a pacific island (Samoa, Fiji, Rarotonga etc)

^ right, i thought it was something like that. but what i'm asking is... most of those artists look like they probably belong to the same ethnic group. is that Maori? or some kind of other race?
