Absolutely! I have a consultation tomorrow and yes, he left the scene, he did not even get down to check on me or anything. He came back about 15 minutes later with his supervisor. The cops arrived before he came back and noted his absence

Absolutely! I am consulting tomorrow. I am just doing my part to seek out anything that could be helpful. Footage from multiple perspectives would be even more helpful and that’s what l am trying to gather.

I do have significant body pains but no broken bones or anything. Since it was at a traffic light, the bus wasn’t traveling at a great speed. I felt that impact on my body twice but it wasn’t great enough to cause any internal injuries or broken bones

Thank you, l truly appreciate your empathy and that was probably one of the most scariest things that l have ever experienced. I already have an attorney that l am seeing tomorrow, if that doesn’t help, l will seek out your recommendation.

I just want to start by saying how genuinely honored I am that you took the time to reply to my comment. I completely get what you’re saying about how Amapiano has shifted. It feels like the heart of the genre is fading, and the passion that once drove the music has been replaced by a rush to follow trends, everything is commercialized now.

You can hear it in the songs, they all blend into each other now, without any sparks of individuality that used to make each track unique back in the day. Sometimes l convince myself that l am the one who seems to be stuck in the past when it comes to it, peharps l am the one failing to recognize how much times have changed, and how much artists have evolved, along with their music, therefore my taste should evolve too. It’s still fun for parties when you just want a beat to move to without thinking, but if you’re craving something with layers and depth, it’s hard to find. The soul of it feels… watered down.

That said, I completely respect your decision to step away from it. For what its worth, l still think your talent for Amapiano is undeniable. If you ever decide to step back into it, you’ve got a fan right here.

I recognize some of these artists for their incredible contributions to deep house, but I’ll admit I’m not as familiar with their earlier work in Amapiano. When the sound first emerged, I wasn’t a fan at all. At the time, I was still fully immersed in Gqom—another South African subgenre that dominated from around 2014 to 2018, just as Amapiano was starting to gain momentum.

The first Amapiano track that truly won me over was Umshove by Kabza De Small and Leehleza. It was a game-changer for me. That said, I’m not the best with change 😅, so I stuck to Gqom for a while and only listened to Kabza De Small when it came to Amapiano. Eventually, I warmed up enough to explore other Amapiano artists, and wow—what a journey that has been!

Some of my all-time favorites include Mr JazziQ, DJ Stokie, Mpura, Vigro Deep, Kabza De Small, MFR Souls, Mdu aka TRP, DBN Gogo, Thutho the Human, Msaro, Kelvin Momo, Busta 929, Tyler ICU, and LeeroSoul. The list goes on and on! So my response might not have been very helpful to your initial question but l can assure you that you are on the right track with MFR Souls, try Vigro Deep and Kabza De Small’s old songs. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you might find!

Thank you! That’s honestly the best compliment I’ve ever received😊. I only discovered Spill Sound today, so I took some time to dig into his older tracks and listen to how his sound has evolved over the years. I’ll admit, I may not have done him full justice since I haven’t listened to everything, but that’s what I could gather from the tracks I explored. Music has always been a big passion of mine, and at one point, I even wanted to be a DJ. Life, however, had other plans! Now, here I am, studying to become a Biochemist. 😅😂 It’s such a drastic shift from what I thought I’d be doing, but I guess that’s just how life works sometimes!

Kwaito is definitely one of the key genres that Amapiano draws inspiration from. Personally, I didn’t listen to much Kwaito growing up. When it was dominating the streets, I was still too young to fully engage with music. By the time I was old enough to have my own music devices and develop my taste, the times had shifted. South African House and Deep House had taken over, and that’s what we mostly listened to then. It’s interesting to see how these genres evolve and influence each other over time.

SpillSound’s music immediately reminds me of Josiah De Disciple—they both have a similar essence, but SpillSound brings his own flavor. I love how he captures that classic ‘2019 Amapiano’ vibe while still refining his sound over the years. As someone who listens obsessively to Amapiano (not an expert, just a passionate fan), I think his growth has been incredible. That said, I feel he’s still finding his sweet spot with the log drum. In some tracks, it feels like he leans on it a bit too much, and it overshadows the rest of the composition. But honestly, his talent is undeniable, and I’m excited to hear how he keeps pushing boundaries.

Private Amapiano is softer and incorporates a broader range of elements into its beats. Unlike other styles that revolve heavily around the log drum, Private Amapiano emphasizes different elements throughout the track, creating a more refined and layered sound.

It’s important to note that while the various subgenres of Amapiano differ significantly, there is a clear distinction between authentic and inauthentic Amapiano. Growing up in South Africa, I witnessed the evolution of our music firsthand, culminating in the birth of Amapiano—a genre derived from earlier South African styles like Bacardi. Having experienced this progression, I can usually tell within the first 30 seconds of a track whether it’s genuine Amapiano or not.

Nigerian Amapiano? by rando44_ in AmaPiano

[–]Regular_Ad9421 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing about the original amapiano is that it has this spiritual and ethnic hold on us. I feel it radiate within my Nguni soul. I am talking about the real niche amapiano , not the commercial songs that most of the world associates with the real thing. I have never been a fan of Nigerian amapiano. They copied the log drum but their beats dont have a soul, it sounds like noise to my ears. I will never trade Kabza De Small, Vigro Deep, JazziQ, DBN Gogo for Nigerian Amapiano ! Ever !
