After Collo and all other old skool Kenyan artists featured on the show, I have now come to conclude that most of them were and are wise and more educated even from the way they tell their stories and understand the music business and that is why they managed to survive and push music in that era where internet and youtube barely existed, I can imagine if we had such MC's in this era, Kenyan music could have been BIG!!!! Growth is a matter of mindset, opportunities and chances exist everywhere
@@Turbulence2027 true, then the young artists should atleast learn, look upto and emulate the teachings of these old skool artist cz we all learn from the experienced
35:00 ~ Kalamashaka had the biggest crowd of over 60,000 in attendance in Lagos. That record stood for years before the likes of P-Square, 2-Face, and WizKid broke it. I still remember their songs top charts in Africa for months. Naenda chuo narudi bado Fanya Mambo ni number one on Channel O 🤣🤣🤣
Mwaf leo umetujenga jo. After watching Collo kwa CTA, couldn't wait for him to come to Iko Nini. I think the biggest letdown to the Kenyan music industry, and it's proliferation ni Kenyan Djs. They had the opportunity to build it like the Kayslays of the US, but wakaendea low-hanging fruit wakarushia wakenya lawama ati that's what we want. But we go to clubs to listen to the Dj's taste in music, plus most of the time we're drunk so, wakicheza Kenyan songs, zitasonga tu. Wazi jo.
Collo is a real Kenyan Hero, he knows where we have been, where we should be and what’s needed to get there. We need to celebrate this hero’s that put Kenyan music on the map and listen to what they got to say. Awesome interview, one of the best from the best 😎. Collo King wa rap 🔥🔥🔥🔥#colloat20
There is a studio in Kericho, that the Congolese and the West-Africans used to come to record in the 90's. True story. I don't know if it is still there though.. I think it was called Chandarana or something of the sought
Msanii wa Nigeria na hit song moja,where do they tour first? Kenya! Good example msee wa you want to bambam alikuwa na wimbo ngapi? He toured kenya and he sold out,Kenya is big if only we supported US more. Hata Diamond its us Kenyans who made him
Collo and Mwaf you guys forget the role of creating systems and mentorship. Can you imagine what happened when Collo ,Kibukosya the real people who have been in the industry gave the wisdom to young guys called camp mulla ? We were on the verge of global domination. Collo ,Mwaf ,Klepto , Nameless should be running a full record label like Sony ,BadBoy like Don Jazzy where the blue print songs , networks , producers are there its just a young face. Ogopa was the closest we had ,Sol generation. We work at kibarua ,gigs ,self employment level instead of a business team with professionals that's missing link in Music.
Nabongo being called a collaborator is an alternative history 🫣 The guy was a sarvy business man, who secured trade routes in the region for the survival of the region. That is why the Mumia kingdom still exists to date
@larryachiya2475 what you call development is infrastructure, buildings,roads, etc they were built in the early years where white people settled and later Indians....Kakamega County as a whole is doing way better than Counties like busia Inspite of all the revenue collected there
its really sad how people dont understand how young aartist spend en take almost there whole creativity ndo tuh watu wakue noticed its really sad guys start by support Broke Boi issa his quite talented but manze peeni boyz support atleast a hand back to the society
47:00 - accents and speech. Kifee’s buddy, George told a story about how someone in Kenya mocked his English for having a kikuyu accent. He’s proud of his accent because it sets him apart when speaking in business meetings and such because he’s all of a sudden exotic to his audience. Something to think about. If you’re going to be proud of yourself then be proud of everything about yourself, ama vipi?
Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world, amazing episode btw, colonialism really did a good one on us, i think acknowledging it and having such discord is important to the process of creating our own identity which is happening everyday even at this very moment.
capitalism and communisms this were concepts used during colonization Between the English French Italians ….and that's why they were forming allies.... that's why you see difference in togetherness between cultures in africa and what they adopted from colonialism...uk are capitalists...so Kenya tuko wachoyo...its what we adopted....collo is on point there, historically and philosophically deep
Identity, the root of everything. We have to accept that it's good to come from this place or that place. Then combine that which is good in all of us to create something that IS all of us. We'll conquer the world. We're the best. Sometimes, going back to our roots when so much water has gone under the bridge, means building something new because the past is gone with time. It's double edged, we kind of lose what we had but we gain a clean slate that can allow us to shed off "unnecessary" weight. I agree so much with Collo, in short. "Let's take what's rightfully ours". Wow. I can't agree more. Vile sisi pia tumeskumwa kwa corner, let's fight out of it! Point I'd tell Mwaf, we have an accent. It is one washed by Swahili. Guess what? You're speaking it right now with Collo. We share it with our dear Tanzanians whom we love very much. If you find a Tz-nian who's smooth with English you'd think he/she is Kenyan. I once heard a group of Tz students from abroad and I had a difficult time differentiating whether they were Ke or Tz. It's a regional accent and I'm proud of it. I think not everything has to occur within Ke, Tz or Ug boarders. Somethings we do share. Knowing that, can save us a lot of hassle and tassel.
The Revolution we desire began with the people we the Artist. For it to actually materialize now the government needs to get involved. Kukataa kucheza KE unanyongwa
Hio story ya ku buy into other cultures i thought ni Kenya tu cz ya akina Capital FM but where i live now kukona Capital FM ya huku, still playing the same music with the same whitewashed accent, so i guess ni hao Capital fm trying to push their accent on different territories
Collo was trying to touch on the way in which colonialism and neo-imperialism use the intersectionality of race and class strata as a way to divide African people.The sad thing is its going over some peoples' heads as seen in the comments... (He could have articulated his points better which was not helped by the cognitive dissonance of some of his internal contradictions such as saying classism is a cool thing)but on the part of class divisions enhanced by colonialism and neo-imperialism he definitely has a point.
I'm glad Collo said these, Kenyans were the pioneers in the Pop culture in Africa, P Square were just up and coming until after they visited Kenya. Their song Do Me they sampled Redsun's - Apakatwe ,ya'll know how big that song was. And Kenyans are also an indiscipline lot, and culture hoes, we buy into anything non - Kenyan.
I would listen to collo from morning to evening

Ni vile ukipanda stairs kwa life mentality yako inachange. You won't be thinking the same way you were thinking in your 20s even in your 30s.

Bro the older people gatekeeping the industry with the same creative ways Ona Mwalimu Rachel Na wale wasee wa gengetone
Who notices the depth in the mindsets of all these Kenyan artists?
This guy has made me retrospect along.
He looks at stuff from a very different perspective.
Good job mwaf.❤
its more lively
I like your talks
Kama umerealize this show has alot of maturity. Its a strong product, hii ni ya watu wenye IQ iko very high.
COLLO needs to do a Kenyan Music documentary. 💯

I see why I had this guy posted on my wall while growing up and that's early 2000s. I still stan a philosopher.
When you grow up.... you will realise the value of this show...period...Good job Mwaf
Thanks for bringing Collo to the show. Needed to hear this. Very wise and brilliant perspective.
Great conversation. We need nyashinski on that seat manze.
Really great having Collo on the show. A request, interview Jeff Koinange, hii itaweza
Collo is very intelligent .
Collo is a real Kenyan Hero, he knows where we have been, where we should be and what’s needed to get there. We need to celebrate this hero’s that put Kenyan music on the map and listen to what they got to say. Awesome interview, one of the best from the best 😎. Collo King wa rap 🔥🔥🔥🔥#colloat20
Collo ni historian. He unknowingly drags the conversation the other way. And he does it passionately
This is the best Podcast Episode I've ever heard in my life!
COLO should do a study on what we are going through and come up with the findings.we should expect a thesis
Collo has always been a sharp mind. Iko Nini. Hapa ni kunyamaza uelimishwe.
Collo is really deep great conversation 💯
Collo hapati hizo ma One liner zenyu leo bana hahahahaha "he is our Banner Boy"
This is a DOPE conversation!! Collo a.k.a Depicto got a good head above his shoulders. Smart chap...
Iko NINIII!!! Leteni such minds.
True! mans is woke! fave rapper growing up iko nini always coming correct big up
Collo is so intelligent he doesn't know how to relay the ideas to us laymen
Hahaha Collo amepitwa na hizo puns za Ian bana😂😂, but ametupa an A1 podcast!
collo is so down to earth
Make sure you guys bring Clemmo wa calif records on the show
after Collo, hakuna msanii mwengine so rich in information mutawai leta huku tena. na kama itakua, then definitely ni KLEPTO.... ROBA & NYASHINSKI
Mwaf if u can bring Clemo on the show...anyways i love what ya'll are doing bigup to the guest collo such a great mind man🔥🔥🔥🔥
Our Kenyan artists don’t have identity 💯👌
*Good Vibes, Dope Conversation and Top Notch Energy🔥🙌💥*

Very true
Kenyans continue to make him and other TZ artists.We need to embrace our own
Kama Tu msee WA Windek...Cabo Snoop...sold out na he had one song...

Good insights Collo, he is well informed, I enjoy his perspectives
Seeing comments saying Collo is tripping just shows how right he is.

The colonisation colloquy is maaaaad, good talk
Hizi ndio zile convo mwafreeka hupenda sharing ideas from different perspectives
Ikonini. Collo has has a lot of ideas. He needs to organize them … so we can qualify him. Interesting though.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn't realize Collo was such a funny guy!
Thanks for the upload you keep me moving you guys from the stories you share I view life differently now shukran 👏

been waiting for a kenyan band to copy alternate, rn watastruggle sana...hii imeeenda
King Wa Rap Collo 💯💥💨
Kenyans are just ambitious but lack the vision to see the potential of where we are,
this could otherwise be a whole different ball game!
Collo is adversely well informed and very open
show imegrow big up guys...mwafrka always got that midas touch...i knew itakuja kuslap
The problem is within I like that. 💯
either way kenya still bought into "Collo" nisation when collo went into music

Collo was a hit machine
hizo one-liner za Ian znapita Collo ajab
Collo is philosophical.
Collo sounds so much like Nyash man..
Same highschool
Great content !
According to nonini's CTA, Nigerian sound was copied from Kenya then they added a few things
@Mwaff msee alikucheka about the views........ ako kwA butita pt2
Dope show 🙌
30:02 point imesink,
Collo was low key about to diss camp mulla
capital 98.4 wana news ya Kiswahili, I think 5pm
Huh? 😲😲
Collo is a legend
This is going to be one hell of a series.
I'm not sure how I feel about today's conversation.
If I say a word I'll be roasted so let me just choose silence instead. 🤐
Sema tu. 😬

Dj Zaq has 🔥 puns you need to have a different mindset to get them. 😂😂Killed me when he said "using a Nigerian artist as a burna boy".
@@Sundeita888 😂 either way, it was maad
and the uhuru part.... 😁 ".... Juako na uhuru"
The rugby analogy at the beginning..... yenyewe it is hard to get Patch out of ones head....
Wawawawawawa!!!club sikiliza damn!! 😂😂😂😂 Nishazeeka bana
😂😂😂
Aaaii collo kidogo ametuchanganya kiasi,tipsy tipsy au... anyway still awesome content
Collo's thoughts are all over the place... Hard to follow
😬
Iko nini
To ambiguous and contradictory bana but good enough
Yaah there's a Nigerian movie watched with a Luo Benga song 😅
Actually I have seen two.
So many inaccuracies from Collo, I would point them out but naogopa kutukanwa kajitombe.
D.E.P na ni King wa Rap... Hii ni kubwaaa
Hata ngwai sikuhizi watu hata wanasema foreign is better than Local.🤦🏿♂️
Mic ya Collo is a bit loud
Noticed that and corrected on part 2 😬😬
