The 10 Best South African Hip-Hop Albums of The 2010s, According To AI

We asked popular AI chatbot ChatGPT to give us a list of the 10 best South African Hip-Hop albums of the 2010s.

NB: ChatGPT’s knowledge cutoff is September 2021, so we stuck to the 2010s era.

“Here are ten of the best South African hip-hop albums of the 2010s, in no particular order:

1. Cassper Nyovest - 'Tsholofelo' (2014)

2. AKA - 'Levels' (2014)

3. Nasty C - 'Bad Hair' (2016)

4. ProKid - 'Dankie San' (2018*)

5. HHP - 'Acceptance Speech' (2012**)

6. Kwesta - 'DaKAR II' (2016)

7. Tumi Molekane - 'Return of the King' (2015)

8. Sjava - 'Isina Muva' (2016)

9. YoungstaCPT - '3T' (2019)

10. Stogie T - 'Honey and Pain' (2018)

Each of these albums has made a significant contribution to the South African hip-hop scene and has showcased the diversity and talent of the genre in the country."

*Here, ChatGPT got the year wrong by almost a decade, highly likely because the album’s release year is wrong on all DSPs. ‘Dankie San’ was released in 2007.” 

**ChatGPT also got this one wrong. 'Acceptance Speech' by HHP was released in 2007.
