“Thug” has many faces and comes in different forms. It may not necessarily always be Rap/Hip Hop and RnB. It will be old and also new. Hell, I may even throw some country into the pot, or whatever I deem to be “thug”. Depending on my mood, every week I’ll be bringing you my selection of the worst, best, funniest, weirdest videos whether you may have seen them or not.
I’m so embarrassed to be posting this compared to any previous Thug Thursday so far. Any small ounce of street cred I had is now officially out the window.
I saw this for the first time last year courtesy of MMCV and immediately thought it was a bunch of drunk jocks who had made a home recording of they’re Oxbraai debauchery. I then realised that these guys were actually a Southern American rap group and were not kidding. At first I loved it, then I liked it, and eventually dismissed it as utter, hilarious crap because I laughed so hard it made me cry.
If all the Afrikaans petrolhead farmers in South Africa get together and decide to start a rap label, this is what it would sound like. Except more hardcore and you know for a fact they would be the biggest selling artists if you consider the way our music industry works. Imagine Patricia Lewis and Amor Vittone shaking their asses in the mud, while they turn Jack Parow into their bitch and force-feed him fodder out of the pig troughs.
The Jawga Boyz don’t deserve the airtime I’ve just given them, but everything that’s bad in your life pales in comparison to the crime these redneck hicks have committed. I hope this makes your day.
