50/50

[edit]

I am looking for a song. I believe the artists name was Mendoza, and the song was called 50/50. I have searched online but have not been able to find this anywhere. It was ubiquitous in the late 90’s in South Africa. The genre was Kwaito. Preferably I would like a Youtube link. Thanks. Anton 81.131.40.58 (talk) 12:43, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His name is Mandoza, not Mendoza, and the song is here. --Jayron32 13:26, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also are you sure you heard it in the 1990s? [1] suggest it was a hit in 2002 and was in part a response to Destiny Child's Independent Women, a song which came out in 2000. [2] claims it even sampled it Independent Women. [3] also mentions the response part and suggests it came out in 2001. I don't particularly know the reliability but discogs [4] and Musixmatch [5] for the Godoba album in which I think it may have been first released, as does our article.
