South African hip-hop artist Nasty C has expressed his perspective on music genres, stating that he considers Afrobeats and Amapiano superior to hip-hop.

Nasty C emphasized the authenticity of Afrobeats and Amapiano, highlighting their use of live instruments and melody, while he pointed out that many hip-hop artists heavily rely on sampling.

The 'Coolest Kid In Africa' crooner shared his opinion on the prevalence of faking wealth within the hip-hop genre. Despite expressing his preference for Afrobeats and Amapiano, Nasty C clarified that he has no intentions of switching genres.

Speaking in a video making the rounds on X, Nasty C said: “Afrobeats and Amapiano are better than Hip-hop. Like music-wise. Let’s call a spade a spade, man.

“I mean, of course, there are some [Afrobeats and Amapiano] songs where it is like autotune heavy, this n*gga not saying sh*t. He is just saying ny*sh a bunch of time. But live instrument rolls, original melodies, n*ggas who can actually sing, that is music, bro. Their music lasts forever.

“Hip-hop, we sample a lot. I’m not being ungrateful to hip-hop. I love hip-hop. I am hip-hop to the core. I am hip-hop till I die. But hip-hop, we out here playing this weird game where it is like everyone is fake rich, fake balling, fake gangster. I’m sick and tired of hearing n*ggas speaking about spending in songs. I’m like, ‘N*gga, you spending nothing. Shut the f*ck up.”
