Jack Parow - Cooler as ekke

Uh

Jack Parow in jou moeder se huisie
(jy dink jy is cooler as ekke)
want jy rook Yves saint Laurent sigarette
(jy dink jy is cooler as ekke)
want jy het ‘n tattoo van ‘n slang op jou tette
(jy dink jy is cooler as ek)
want jy het ‘n plakaat van Led Zeppelin bo jou bed
(jy dink jy is cooler as ek)
want jy’s elke jaar by die J&B Met

Jy’s ou nuus, ek kom met rou beats
Jy le en wag, ek gaan soek iets
Jy’s Ice-T, ek’s wit blits
Jy’s light bier, ek’s spirits
Jy’s die ou met new fresh look, ek’s die ou met die Pep stores broek
Ek watch jou, ek koekeloer ou
Jy forward nog Vernon Koekemoer jokes
Ek’s fantasties, jy’s spasties
Ek vat aan poppies, jy raak aan klein kids
Jy’s Tim Vorster, ek’s Chris Edwards
Jy’s in die bosse, ek rol in die vetness
Jy’s boring soos liedjies om die kampvuur
My styl slick sneak-sneaky soos ‘n vampier
Jou styl slat sag soos ‘n marshmallow
Meisies skreeu vir net one night in parow

(jy dink jy is cooler as ekke)
Want jy hang saam met models en ek hang saam met slette
(jy dink jy is cooler as ekke)
Want ek’s ‘n rapper en jy sing in falsette
(jy dink jy is cooler as ek)
Want ek ry op met die bus en jy vlieg op met ‘n jet
(jy dink jy is cooler as ek)
Want jy ry in ‘n Peugoet twee nul ses

Jy rol met ‘n selfoon in jou bed, ek rol nog met ‘n thirty three ten
My styl gooi sexy korrek, jy dra nog d**n Mr.Price RED
As ek instap skrik die hele blerrie bar, jy kry nog elke dag geld by jou ma
Ek los die hele jol pap nat, as jy instap begin die hele jol die pad vat

Ek’s Amerika, jy’s Irak, ek laat jou jou bed nat maak
Ek’s ‘n BIC pen, jy’s ‘n Mont Blanc
Jy loop rond met wit skuim op jou mond rand
Ek’s original, jy’s gecopy
Ek’s ‘n flash drive, jy’s ‘n floppy
Jy maak of jy alles het, maar jy’s fake
Jack Parow bra ek lewe soos ‘n straat mate

(jy dink jy is cooler as ekke)
Want jy drink by Kudeta en ek drink by De Dekke
(jy dink jy is cooler as ekke)
Want jy is die gentleman, bra, ek is die pretter
(jy dink jy is cooler as ek)
Want ek hou vakansie in Hartenbos en jy hou vakansie in Quebec
(jy dink jy is cooler as ek)
Omdat jy die nuwe issue van One Small Seed het

Jack Parow bra ek is woes, jy eet kaviaar en cous-cous
Ek drink Klipdrift, jy drink Peroni
Jy het vriende in Swede, ek het vriende in Benoni
Ek koop al my klere by die local Pep store save more
Jy koop al jou blerrie klere by A-store
Jy dra net fancy Polo shirts
Shame, jy luister na die Dirty Skirts

My naam is Parow, dik heavy uit geskollie
Jy lyk soos Jeremy de Tollie
Jack Parow die life van die party
Jy dra net uh uh Isimiagy
Jy’s too cool for school, ek’s mos kief
Ek’s Grasshopper, jy’s Lacoste sportif
Jy laat die koek flop, ek laat die huis rys
Jou meisie het ‘n foto van my $^%& op haar space case

(jy dink jy is cooler as ekke)
Want jy rook Yves saint Laurent sigarette
(jy dink jy is cooler as ekke)
Want jy het ‘n tattoo van ‘n slang op jou tette
(jy dink jy is cooler as ek)
Want jy het ‘n plakaat van Led Zeppelin bo jou bed
(jy dink jy is cooler as ek)
Want jy’s elke jaar by die J&B Met

Uh
Jack Parow

Rafiq was kind enough to answer the following questions for us:

Personal

Q: The all important personal profile. How would a close friend introduce you at a social event?  i.e. Name, age, company, interesting fact etc.

A: Rafiq Phillips, 26, work as an SEO specialist at Naspers’ www.mihswat.com consulting to some of the largest Internet companies throughout the developing wwworld during the day while at night my project www.idrive.co.za which connects learner drivers with the best driving schools in South Africa. I’ve been blogging since 1999- coding HTML in notepad.

Q: Tell us something that not many others know about you. This could be anything from a phobia to your favorite movie.

A: I do not eat butter or margarine, ever. Never have, never will.

Q: What do you enjoy doing when you want to get away from it all?

A: I really enjoy fishing in the mountains just outside Cape Town. Do not get there nearly enough.

Blogging in South Africa

Q: Which local blogs do you read on a daily basis?

A: I usually catch up with blogs on my mobile phone using Google Reader mobile before I go to bed. There are too many to mention. Best see my Google Reader Shared items on my profile http://www.google.com/profiles/rafiq.phillips

Q: What advice would you give to South African bloggers wanting to turn their passion into a career?

A: Don’t give up your day job. It takes a lot of patience and consistency. I’ve heard many people talk about starting their blogs for many months even years and have not gotten as far as writing their firsts posts. Jut do it!

Q: There is a fine line between promotion and spam, how did you promote your blog in the early days?

A: I didn’t :) I used www.webaddict.co.za as a testing bed for seo and blogged about technology that I was passionate about or found interesting. There was a very small tech blogging community back in 2005/2006 and we just happened to stumble upon each others blogs while Googling.

Q: As a local technology enthusiast, which South African technologies have you the most excited?

A: There is not one specific technology that really excites me. Rather the way in which technology is used to solve South African problems. A few examples would be Reconstructed Living Labs http://www.rlabs.org/ who are using a host of technologies to battle drug abuse, gangsterism and raise HIV/Aids awareness.

Q: What are your thoughts on the Silicon Cape Initiative?

A: Any initiative that focuses attention on the local tech scene is a good one.

Q: Can you tell us about some of your most popular posts on Web AddiCT?

A: You are able to view the popular posts from any page on Web AddiCT(s); A post becomes popular once it receives continuous media attention or becomes mainstream. I didn’t really answer that did I?

Life in South Africa

Q: Have you or any of your immediate family been affected by crime? If yes, has it changed your perception of the country and the way you and your family live your lives?

A: I do not believe there is a person in any country that has not been affected by crime. You should always take precaution no matter where you are. A little common sense should keep you safe.

Q: Have you ever considered emigration? If yes, where do you think you would emigrate to?

A: NO.

Q: If you were given the opportunity to sit down with the president, what advice would you offer him?

A: Don’t preach what you practice.

Q: To which three attractions would you first take an international visitor?

A: Table mountain, Cape Point via Boulders beach and the Waterfront.

Life in Cape Town

Q: Favorite restaurant for a romantic dinner?

A: Tought one, there aren’t many Halaal restaurants in Cape Town that can be considered romantic.

Q: Who makes the best coffee in Cape Town?

A: Our coffee machine at the MIH SWAT office by far.

Q: Which of the various malls in or around Cape Town would you recommend for Christmas shopping?
