50/50
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)
 * His name is Mandoza, not Mendoza, and the song is here. -- Jayron 32 13:26, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Also are you sure you heard it in the 1990s? [//www.theguardian.com/culture/2002/jun/20/artsfeatures] 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. [//theconversation.com/game-changer-mandoza-defied-south-africas-elitist-cultural-norms-65916] claims it even sampled it Independent Women . [//books.google.co.nz/books?id=gL3uVsL2mFMC&pg=PA130&ots=kzCR-aqX5H] also mentions the response part and suggests it came out in 2001. I don't particularly know the reliability but discogs  and Musixmatch [//www.musixmatch.com/album/Mandoza/Godoba] for the Godoba album in which I think it may have been first released, as does our article.
