Full transcript with timestamps

You're evil. Your music is evil. It is. You see, you're demons. You are. You were glorifying him. In my opinion, you thought it was going to be cool. It's not. Our country is in kaka dudu because of these creepers and you're making a song about them. Cloutchasing idiots will always be cloutchasing idiots. They can be artists. They can be famous. They can be influencers. If you're a cloutchasing idiot, that's your programming in this hell. And that's what you will remain to be. And in the beginning, maybe it doesn't really show that you're a cloud chasing idiot, a zombie, but eventually the cracks start to show.

Maybe not the cracks, the whole damn hole. It will reveal it itself big and gaping.

So focalistic made a song titled Cat Mala and the internet is not happy. Ghana papa. that when you wrote that song, were you drinking? Were you drugging? Were you just couldn't realize what you were actually doing? You said, "This is the V. This is the I know how it goes down in the studios." So, were you drinking and drugging? Because that's the only explanation we're going to accept. Ask, why are you naming a song after Cat Matala? Why are you naming a song after Cat Matala? Read the room. Read the room, please. Like, it's one thing to actually name a song after um a character, right, that someone plays on a show like David Jaro. Um but now you are gunning for someone who is currently in the middle of an entire investigation. Um there's just so many people who have been unalived and when not the immediate thing that you thought would make sense to you is to name a song after that man.

You can get angry all you want, but what we not going to do is to tell Focalistic that he can't name a song. That one we cannot do. He has every right to make a song about whatever and name it whatever he wants to to name it. That's something that's not going to happen. Deny, deny, deny. Let him out. Let him out. Let him out. Terrorize terrorize terrorize perish. Popular South African rapper and musician Vocalistic has released a video where he's giving us a sneak peek of a new song that he's recorded and it's titles Cat Mlala. For those of you who don't know, Cat Madlala is a businessman who is embroiled in something called the Madlanga Commission where they're basically investigating crimes and fraud, etc. that he's allegedly committed, right? So, he is somebody everyone's speaking about right now. His name is viral. He's a hot topic. And so, it makes sense that uh Vocalistic would want to name the song Cat Matlala. And

just for context, guys, what focalistic is doing isn't uncommon. Throughout history, musicians do this all the time. They make music about people who are known for doing certain things in society, right? Whether they are gangsters criminals presidents it doesn't matter. They will usually make songs about those people if they go down and making history, right? And you'll even see media houses, they'll make movies and documentaries about these people. So technically what he's doing is not uncommon and it's not wrong.

Where there is a problem is his timing. We're really just in the thick of the Madlanga Commission, right? There's still so much that has to be revealed. People are losing their lives for being part of this and exposing the truth. And so it is a very tonedeaf thing to release the song now. It's okay for him to record the song. It's okay for him to name it Cap Matala. But to release it now is just not a smart thing to do. It's insensitive. It downplays the gravity of the Matlanga Commission and the lives that have have been lost and the people whose lives are in danger for participating in this. But it also just skews how this is going down in history because when you make a song out of it, it can be something that people make fun of, right? I mean, if we're dancing about it at parties when it's something this serious, then what is the true gravity of this thing?

You're just sitting there watching all of these mad commissions and stuff and saying, "Yeah, he's the man. He's dead. He's so fine. Where strip him of that drip. Strip him off that drip. He's not as fine as you think he is. All you see is money. Idiots. Not the dazzling diamonds. You could dare be a dazzling diamond. It's the idiots. You know yourselves. You do. When I mean this was the year of disgust. When I mean countless countless people have disgusted me. I'm talking about not not pissing me off. Not not No, I'm talking about pure disgust.

Unlock. Vocalistic has put out a song. I don't know if it's titled Kat Matlala or it just makes reference of Kat Matlala within the song. Guys, don't you dare do that. Don't you ever dare do that. Don't say that I'm saying vocalistic is an idiot. I don't know the guy. Honestly, guys, you know me by now. I would never say that about anyone. I don't know the guy. I just know that he's a South African artist, right? But I was just saying that idiots will be idiots. But he did make a song about Matala or referencing Kat Matala. And when I listen to the lyrics of that song, because obviously I had to go and listen.

It's like he praises him. It's like he praises him. So as much as those idiotic ding dong people were saying Kapatala is hot, he's zyg and all those freaky dicky things. I don't know where you want to where you want to play so vocalistic. It just look it just seems like he's doing what they did just on a grander scale and thinking that people will accept that kind of music because he's vocalistic and he's well known therefore he can get away with the darling read the room. Read it because even wars read the room and apparently allegedly they said that no we didn't change the bags because of cat matala.

I don't believe in coincidences. We just ran out of bags. So we chose this color. Really? Really? So some people are not smart as warts were smart because why would you want to associate anything of your business or your craft or your being with madala or be known as one of the people that lust over him or that like his lifestyle and then you do it publicly. Are you really that untalented that every little trend has to become a song and you would choose this one? A man that doesn't give a damn about other people's lives. He just cares about his and his own.

It's so hard in the hood. We understand why he's doing what he's doing. There are so many people from the hood, but no, none of them turned out like him. None of them have done the things that he has been said to do. Whether you want to believe it or not, I know you believe it or not. I have. If you know, you know. Discernment. Deny. Deny. Deny. Let him out. Let him out. Let him out. Terrorize. Terrorize. Terrorize. perish. It's not going to be nice when it happens to your family members that he's stealing from, hurting, attempting to murder a lie.

You're just sitting there watching all of these Madlang commissions and stuff and saying, "Yeah, he's the man. He's vetting way." Strip him of that that drip. Strip him over that drip. He's not as fine as you think he is. All you see is money. Idiots. Not the dazzling diamonds. You could dare be a dazzling diamond. It's the idiots. You know yourselves. You do. That is true. That's not a lie. It's not. And now you're making songs about him. And then Focalistic comes out to say in a statement, I'm not praising the things he's done. Why use his name?

Why you are you thought it was cool and funny that when you wrote that song? Were you drinking? Were you drugging? Were you just couldn't realize what you were actually doing. You said, "This is the part. This is the I know how it goes down in the studios. So, were you drinking and drugging?" Because that's the only explanation we're going to accept. The same way some of you put them on a pedestal is the same thing you are doing right now. You don't stop. You don't want to stop. You don't think about the people that have actually suffered at the hands of these of these evil people because it's not you right now. It's not you right now. It's not your family members right now.

But there are others that have cried. There are witnesses that have been eliminated because of these kind of people. And you want to make it a song. You're evil. Your music is evil. It is. You say you're demons. You are. You were glorifying him. In my opinion, you thought it was going to be cool. It's not. our country is in Kaka dudu because of these creepers and you're making a song about them. How cool of you. And then there's some people saying, you know what, artists can just make songs about anything they want. Read the room. You person you person. You read the room.

You profile. You purple um you purple profile person. purple profile person. You're saying they can make sense about anything. This is great marketing idiot. You're an idiot. In my opinion, you really are. If if you're that person, you understand what I mean? Cuz so many people are saying it. So, if you're in that group and category caliber of person, you're an idiot. Purple profile person. Apparently, allegedly, he tried to take out Vijani. That's GBV. She was lucky. Her friend wasn't. She got the bad end of the stick.

Really? So, we understand. Focus. He's just an artist. You people are evil. How do you not see what's wrong and what's right? What's wrong with you? He should not have made that song. Don't put it out. Don't tease it. It's distasteful. It is. Ah, everything is so evil. Everything is. But yes, it is. I'm telling you that. It really is. The reason why you're not so touched and you're so nonchalant about the whole situation is because it hasn't happened to you or your loved ones. Therefore, you don't know. You will never know until you experience a thing firsthand.

So for you it's just until it affects the things that they are doing affects you and your family or your kids it becomes a different story doesn't it just let him make his music okay he can do what he wants but I can talk about it is distasteful stupid it is distasteful and stupid I would never call an individual distasteful and stupid unless tasteful and stupid. You know what I mean? D situation. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Do with it what you want. But vocalistic should take that song and shout where the sun don't shine. We don't need that kind of demonic energy cuz that's exactly what it is. Don't glorify I gaga because you are going to start looking like I gaga to whomever it may concern. Duh.

All right. Anyway, I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye. Oh, by the way, vocalistic friends. Just putting it out there, right? All right. Bye guys.
