KWAITO is essentially South Africas take on hip hop for the multiculturalism.
Since South African culture is widely different from Western culture kwaito has been classified as a sub-genre, a misunderstanding between the people who think they are "in charge" of the hip hop genre
Kwaito and hip hop share the same attributes once you remove the lyrics and saturated samples.
Once you add lyrics and unique samples, sub-genres are created.
This was proven by South Africa's top hip hop kwaito specialists Okmalumkoolkat and the late HHP
And for America or Canada it's Drake
Other artists who have collaborated and have a successful track together are Dj Drama and Cassper Nyovest on the the track Ghetto from Cassper's 2014 album Tsholofelo.
Kwaito and hip hop ultimately have the same sub-genres.

"some people complain about how hip hop corrupts the youth with its vulgar lyrics, but forget how *KWAITO* did the same in a more appealing way."
