Do you know what happens when hard work meets talent? Okay, let’s put it this way. Mcpotar ain’t simply a phantom in our minds, I mean in the Zim Hip Hop industry.Yesterday as I was scrolling down my Facebook timeline I discovered about three people who had shared Mcpotar’s animated video and was like, “Did Potar went ahead of his time or am failing to see” and YES, the Potardent surprised us all.
I don’t know what inspired him but the video which was scheduled to drop today (22/02/16) was apparently dropped yesterday (21/02/16) the same day as BOB’s birthday (I don’t know if it was a coincidence or pre-planned).
The animated video which is entitled ‘The City’ was produced by The Hitmen and featured the beautiful Ivy with a sonorous voice backing the chorus. In the video you can easily spot Potar and the other bearded guy running some errands some after work, the Joina City building and Ivy.
So what’s unique about this video is that it is the 1st of its kind in the history of Zim Hip Hop (name any if you disagree) and I think Mcpotar has opened an avenue for other rappers to follow suit.
Who would have known that Potar’s animation skills would lead to this? If you really know your Hip Hop well then you’d be aware that Kanye West has done it and even the Wu Tang Clan has also done it, so why can’t you do it? This is not a taboo in the history of Hip Hop.
So for starters I might rate the video an 8 out of 10. Of course there might be bloopers and blunders here and there in the video but let’s face it, he is the pioneer and he’s going to inspire a lot of rappers out there.
