Stogie T has explained why he never responded to Big Zulu’s diss track.
Big Zulu has released a diss track titled 150 Bars in which he takes aim at Cassper Nyovest, AKA, Emtee, Stogie T, Nasty C, K.O, Nota Baloyi, and podcaster Slik Talk.
Many hip-hop fans were left wondering why the Lyricist of the Year and razor-sharp MC didn’t respond with a rap masterclass.
“It’s weird, it’s hard to call it a diss track. I battle rap as well. So when you are on that stage you are battle rapping and all the rules go out the window except for [the] physical, don’t hurt anyone. I respect the sport of dissing,” he told TshisaLIVE.
He said he chose to focus on what he wants his legacy to be and the effect he has on up-and-coming artists.
“It’s always through how you give back. I’m always excited about working with people like A-Reece, Touchline. Working with young artists and newer artists like Msaki is a great way to learn and spreading what you’ve learnt … pouring that into people’s cup. I’m a product of people who were generous to me.”
T, real name Tumi Molekane, has been in the rap game for two decades but recently adopted a new stage persona. He attributed the shift to evolution and delivery.
“[Things] felt a bit narrowing [as] Tumi . I was a guy from exile who spoke of the world in the specific and had a certain position. Whereas with Stogie T, I can’t talk about anything, and I will just present it rather than give you an opinion on it.”
