MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT

To start this day off right I suggest whatever problems or difficulties you might be faced with just knock it out and remember what *LL Cool J told us all those years ago,

"MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT!"

This hit from 1995 has knock-out lyrics like:

I'm gonna take this itty bitty world by storm
And I'm just gettin warm

and

I'm goin insane, startin the hurricane, releasin pain
Lettin you know that you can't gain, I maintain

How I likes me some old skool hip hop on a Friday morning, go check out the video and Watch me bash this beat like a skull.

*Hip-hop artist and actor LL Cool J made it big with Def Jam Records in the late 1980s and '90s with albums like Mama Said Knock You Out.

Old Skool: Cape Town

Cape Town has seen many changes since it was inhabited by the native Khoi and was first visited by Bartholomew Dias in 1488. The town was a Dutch trading post under Jan Van Riebeeck, and then came under British rule in 1814. Since then it has seen a lot of change and become a unique town with its own unique mix of culture.

We have compiled a series of historical photos, showing the growth of this town. It's amazing to see how things have changed and developed into the town we know affectionately as the Mother City. Enjoy this journey back in history.

The foreshore was built in 1945, but due to the economic climate after the war,
it took a while to be properly utilized.
