Pure display of emotional competence, the Chinese are suppose to be wack cus they speak and write lots of English sarcastically or I shd say they are dope cus they can't speak English...what matters is ones ability to make it happen,yet to determine the kind of diplomas and degrees writer of the bible possessed ,if they ever possessed PH.D.'s, no doubt they wrote great deal of wisdom and for a couple of thousands of yrs still their work still impacting generations,damn it ,that's dope,they were like the rose that grew from the concrete ,boy got me reminded of pac and if I don't sound intelligent , never mind cus am not a past style taker,rather wear GTP kaba with ahenema,match it up with sneakers or shoes,that's outside jurisdiction,now listen up !oratory skill,good communication and writing skill is not a measure of intelligence ,boy would have done better if he were taken to the west for schooling ,from grass to grace he's like the rose that grew from the concrete,respect the hustle, boy has got the flow and if it's rap damn he's a king,if there a god apart from the supreme God,I suppose it's probably one of those who have mouth but can't speak manifesting like gods in the rap game...,????????????this is wht it sounds like ????????????????????????

We tend to copy eurocentric western culture. Although rap originated as resistance music to reflect the oppression and exploitation of the African-Americans within the socioeconomic and cultural milieu of America, it has now been commodified by white, corporate America in the form of record labels and chart trends. Hopefully the socioeconomic and cultural animosity that has underpinned the thug wars and murders among American rap icons like Tupac and
Notorious B.I.G. will not be blindly copied within the Ghanaian context. We do not need to copy their gun violence. If we keep it at the level of just chart and popularity warfare within the context of music as a commodity, then that is fine entertainment.OUR PERFORMING ARTS PROFESSORS AND SOCIOLOGISTS IN OUR UNIVERSITIES SHOULD ANALYSE THESE TRENDS FOR US AND WARN OF ANY BAD INFLUENCES.

I am a country music fan. I listen to rap cos of obrafour. But I hate it when some people (eg. okraku mantey) make is sound like all those who love sark are dump cos they are not deep. Eiiii, cos I can't like what you like I'm dump? And not just me but the majority of Ghanaians and the world? As the writer said.. "they have painted him as a crass braggart, a miserably unintelligent buffoon , who has only chalked all the success over the years because his songs are loved by people of his kind- dumb, ill-educated, primitive and classless"... What has our professors of today done better for Ghana than those with middle school certificate of the past? They got roads that lasted years (Tema motorway) a difference we can't even maintain? I have certificates but it is not the evidence of talent and wisdom. It only disciplines your mind but my village elders are wise even without Degree cert to show. Let's give honour to those who deserve it. The best car of today will be the worst car of tomorrow but at present, it is the best that's why we pay top cedi for it. The best is the best. the masses are not soo dump as some would make us believe. Let the best be seen but not insulted. Sark has lifted Ghana to places manifest is yet to take Ghana and if it is because he's dump, hmmmm let the end justify.

whoever wrote the article referring twi rap as wack is as brainless a as a dead being. Sorry but we Ghanaians and that's our culture , you can't tell me to rap in English just because the rest of the world is doing so. The question what makes one unique ? The answer is , one is unique when he or she is himself but not trying to do what the rest of the world is doing .His twi rap is wack but it paved way for him to be where he is ..Sorry but if you saying twi rap then you only referring to those who are doing it in our country as wack rappers .People can be carried away by anger and make mistakes . You wrote this expecting comments that will favour one right ,but all I can say is you are a brainless writer for that ...Write something reasonable then you can get the comments you deserve.
