Day 11 - a twitter autograph "Tumi from the V "

After missing Tumi's Opikoppi performance last month, this was certainly a valuable b'day present of sorts.. you know u weren't talking to his assistants or his managers or whatever, you were talking to the man behind all that musical magic!! the evolution of social media... this is what da hell is up for a fan of genuin Hip Hop!!



So today I took this brief exchange as an autograph, coz finally after sooo long I eventually got one of my number one emcees in all of Africa to interact with me... Than again to get this right you can't come off and be sweet and start off on all that fan mumish (that's for the very end when u give ur props)..lol!, A challenge is actually what us writers gravitate to. So I took to the mission & tried my luck at effective and network tweeting by replying to one of Tumi's tweets in a way that forces him to respond or engage in political debate... but no doubt kat must have been having a bad day all together, but this is how it all went down.


It's sommer like poking a rattle snake to see if it will bite you or flee.
 I normally never expect responses, often established emcees of Tumi's callibre just simply avoid negativity and never respond to people causing rifts online (it's a bad look for anyone)....anyway, Today was a day of near-doom as I saw the opportunity to initiate my political debate on Tumi's tweet about Miley and race in a challenging way.
I was excited about seeing what the outcomes would be, but I think shit almost hit the fan for real n fast!!
I got the feeling that kat took it bad when he started tweeting that "if you want to be offended go the fuck ahead".. whoah!!!! not exactly the outcome I was expecting but one could work with that.





To think I'd always been in online trouble with other artists from last year made it all the more crazier an experience. How could I in all my career (as it hasn't even started yet) forget my 'little feud'with one of Reviviolutions biggest buzzing emcee? I'm not even attempting to mention his name in here get myself in even more hot water.. So clearly I can't stay away from online trouble with kats. I should find a way to stop. Or just stop trying to constantly interact with people that fascinate me!!!...lmfaooooo!!





The intention has never been to be a trouble maker, you really are sometimes just trying to poke the Parrot to see if it will bite or run off. why do I keep drawing such energy to myself? I dunno... maybe I just like poking situations to see what will come of it... here are those tweets:

Tumi MoleKane@TumiMolekane1h
And just like that Miley Cyrus is white again.
 
#SuperSaiyan@Nuhtkayz1h
What is suggesting about 'all ' black people?
 
Tumi MoleKane@TumiMolekane1h
why dont you ask me instead of trying to get other people to fight your battles?
 
#SuperSaiyan@Nuhtkayz58m
I didn't think I was the only black person on earth so excuse me tryna make other ppl fyt my battles
 
#SuperSaiyan@Nuhtkayz1h
lol... really now? so u didn't think ur tweet was at all offensive? Politically incorrect?
 
Tumi MoleKane@TumiMolekane46m
not even a little bit
 
Tumi MoleKane@TumiMolekane46m
If you want to be offended go the fuck ahead. we all decide to be
 
#SuperSaiyan@Nuhtkayz44m
whoah!! relax... just a fan checking if I can press ur buttons coz I want u to respond n speak back to me dats all
 
Tumi MoleKane@TumiMolekane43m
I hate fans that blow hot air
 
#SuperSaiyan@Nuhtkayz30m
yo I pushed ur buttons... haha!! I made u mad Tumi!! ur not just a star out there sumwhea.. ur human, haha, no follo bck?
 
 
#SuperSaiyan@Nuhtkayz39m
sumtyms we just want to interact (with u guys) in a way dat proves ur human.. so sorry, no harm intended at all. haha!! I made u mad!!
 
#SuperSaiyan@Nuhtkayz38m
do i atleast get a follow back as a prize for getting u worked up? u gotta agree it was a winning effort
 


 
 
so that was the end of that conversation that didn't go well at all, but this is what fans of good writing will resort to sometimes to get twitter autographs.. haha!! I honestly didn't think Tumi would respond, but this is certainly the highlight of the day, effective tweeting got me in an exchange with one of the greatest emcess on our shores!!!.. Him being an African emcee that I respect and look up to, you bet I'm glad I got him talking back... how many times do you get that on twitter nowadays?
 
So that is the end of the story that I call... 'My twitter autograph!!'
