From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can't somebod write something about the whole religion feud that is going on? With the band and the general public.
I would, but I am too lazy/.
In short, conservative Afrikaner culture is traditionally very religious (Afrikaners as the Chosen people etc...). FPK (A bunch of young Afrikaners themselves) have jousted at this religious conservatisme and reaped the backlash from the community. Many lyrics lament against the "old" ways and teachings whilst complaining about the "current" f*&'ed up state of affairs in SA. They speak for a youth which resents their elders (and their twisted regime) whilst being totally ignored and left behind by the new (ANC) country, a true generation X.
well said.
the page is starting to look great! i recently uploaded the photos for the album covers from the rhythm records website ([1]). Can somebody check to see if the copyright information for the images are correct though? I'm fairly new to wikipedia and not completely familiar with all its features. Also, since we already have so much information on this page, I think we can minimize the intro, and put all the information in it in mulitple paragraphs. Furthermore, can everybody just go through the pages of the album and see if the information is correct and/or add more information in its sidebars? Also, if i haven't already done it at the time when you are reading this, I think we should add some music samples to the main page. Thanks en lekker werk!
[edit] Line in Controversy section
"this is unlike any other video in south africa which is mainly used for marketing theirs is for the message they send."
This clause is rather incomprehensible. I am not sure what the intended message is and so I am hesitant to correct it. Is it possible that the person who wrote it can clean it up?

Howzit you lekker lucky people! Does anybody know when Fokof will be playing in the Gauteng region again? I bought their new album a couple of weeks back and I'm curious to hear what it sounds like live! Saw them at Oppiaarde in Potch in October 2006 but didn't know the new songs back then. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 41.242.97.168 (talk) 10:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
