We throw around "greatness" alot these days. Michael Jordan, 2Pac & Mike Tyson are greats. AKA is an abbreviation, not a "great". https://twitter.com/L_Tido/status/1248624211024732163
Biggy released "Juicy" 26 years ago. People are still holding up their glasses in the club...

"Birthdays were the worst days, now we sip champagne when we're thirst-ay 🔥"

Will you be listening to a AKA track 20 years from now? Realistically, probably not.
When you pull up the greatest hits from your day & show them to your kids. Who is on your track list?

Beyoncé? Mariah Carey? Kanye?

We know it won't include "Fela in Versace".

I get you.

That said, Brenda Fassie still bangs - vulindlela is 23 years old. Nkalakatha is 20 years old. Mafikolozo is still banging - Ndihamba Nawe is 13 years old.

"Now congratulate me..." will barely survive Coronavirus if we're keeping it buck.
Are you likely to actively listen to AKA 20 years from now?
