For the longest time in SA, rappers and hip hop have been regarded as trivial beings who have no message to put across other than spit jargon. This mentality is slowly fading off as rap music is taking its roots in the entertainment industry. Apart from music it is apparent that these artists earn their fame from lavish lifestyles that they lead. It goes without question that they are making dime out of the art.
