He said Afrobeats and Amapiano are more “original” in terms
of live instruments and melody, stressing that rappers sample a lot.
The ‘Coolest Kid In Africa’ crooner said most rappers fake
being rich.
He, however, clarified that he is not considering switching
genres.
In a video making the rounds on X, Nasty C said: “Afrobeats
and Amapiano are better than Hip-hop. Like music-wise. Let’s call a spade a
spade, man.
“I mean, of course, there are some [Afrobeats and Amapiano]
songs where it is like autotune heavy, this n*gga not saying sh*t. He is just
saying ny*sh a bunch of time. But live instrument rolls, original melodies,
n*ggas who can actually sing, that is music, bro. Their music lasts forever.
“Hip-hop, we sample a lot. I’m not being ungrateful to
hip-hop. I love hip-hop. I am hip-hop to the core.
“I am hip-hop till I die. But hip-hop, we out here playing
this weird game where it is like everyone is fake rich, fake balling, fake
gangster. I’m sick and tired of hearing n*ggas speaking about spending in
songs. I’m like, ‘N*gga, you spending nothing. Shut the f*ck up.”
