When MTV Base released its controversial Top Ten List for the Hottest MCs of 2015 one of SA’s most hardworking Hip Hop artists decided to set the record straight.
About a week or two later in early December 2015 Youngsta CPT released the single Top Ten list as a direct indictment on the media hype a...
[Verse 1]
Yeah yea
I have a few discrepancies I'd like to address
I'm probably never gonna make the number one spot
But I can tell you right now a couple names must be chopped
You gotta rearrange the order, maybe do a quick swap
You Macklemore thrift shop not hip hop
And let me share a bit of wisdom
I'm open to the criticism but when lyricism is listed
I must insist that you distance yourself
And give attention to other places and don't base this on friendship
Coz some of them is dope but not that many
Cape Town got mc's so why do you act like we don't have any
And I don't wanna fight with y'all
But if you want shine we have to work trice as hard
Like a polite prison guard
I'm nice with bars who writes these songs
It must be Christ or God
I'm nice everytime I'm on a beat
But you don't wanna give an Instagram heart
Or tweet
And Cassper told me fuck T.V
And salute to all the Family Tree leafs (Salute)
But like him I need big singles and great features
To pass by all the doors and gatekeepers
Durban just took SA rap to the East Coast
I can't wait til it's back in the Cape of Good Hope
Industry folk play the game with the cheat codes
This shit is rigged like machines at casinos
[Hook]
So
Fuck a top ten list my numbers is 021
Fuck a top ten list my numbers is 021
Fuck a top ten list my numbers is 021
Fuck a top ten list my numbers is 021

That's Kaapstad Naaier
Fuck a top ten list my numbers is 021
[Verse 2]
There's K.O, there's Kid X, there's Reason and Kwesta
Everyone see that Nasty gon be next up
Kiernan and Cassper well that shit got messed up
Tumi's the king and the queen about to step up
Like Patty and Gigi, Fifi and Rouge, Nadia, Khanyi, Miss Celaneous too
Okmaloom [?] The Gingerbread bru and the homie K2
There's Riky and Priddy, his videos is dope
In Cape Town there's Drie Manskap and there's Fonzo
Jitsvinger, Hemel, Isaac and CREAM, Uno, Andy and sickest regime
Flatpack, Revial, Da L.E.S and L-Tido
The Wolfpack, Blacklez, Zanele and Stilo
There's Blazin, there's Chad, Morale and Pages
Pro and Proverb has the legendary status
Khuli and Jabba, salutas to Flabba, Bonzaaier
Devious and Mr Vetkos
Some of y'all I never met yall in person
But look out for Youngsta cause like you I'm working
I know you will say that more names should be brought up
I wrote this before the Top Ten List was drawn up
People want mentions, handouts and shortcuts
Bra where I come from that's not how they thought us
Check out the Top Ten and you don't see me there
So I'm gonna [?] until I hear Sizwe
Say this motherfucker is about to be on
Cause I want to own 2016 and beyond
Wooaaa
