Mahama not father of Nadia Buari’s twins – Sidiku Buari

Thu, 19 Mar 2015 16:34:44 +0100

Mr Buari has expressed disappointment about a report that Nadia has granted an interview disclosing that the president is the father of her twins she delivered last month.

The delivery of the twins – both girls – has become the major topic of discussion in the Ghanaian media with many asking who their father is.

There were reports that Jim Iyke, who was famously linked to the actress, is not the father of the twins.

Instead, some media reports linked the president to the new twins.

Speaking in an interview with Hitz Entertainment News, Alhaji Sidiku Buari, who is a former President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), discredited the report saying they are fabrications.

“That’s a big lie. Much as I respect some the media people but some of them are just unbelievable what they put in the papers or what you hear on the radio and the television because in most cases they lie,” he refuted.

“Where on earth did this happen? Where will Nadia say that? In a Spanish radio station, isn’t that

funny

? Just recently, somebody was showing me two pictures of twins which is far from the truth. Which were not the twins that Nadia had.”

He stressed that he won’t be forced to divulge the identity of the father of the twins.

Speculative reports that the president is the father of his daughter’s twin won't force him to give the man’s identity, he said and added that “when it’s the time I will let you know.”

Mr Buari called on the media and

the general public to respect the privacy of his daughter. “There are decent people who [don’t] like publicity,” he added.

Ghanaians have underrated Flowking Stone - Reggie Rockstone

Fri, 13 Mar 2015 08:21:03 +0100

Flowking Stone, one-half of hiplife group Bradez, has released a couple of singles for the past months.

The rapper on these songs showed his rap prowess which has made Reggie Rockstone wonder why Ghanaians do not give him the necessary recognition he deserves.

According to Reggie via Twitter, Stone is one of the best rappers in the country so he becomes sad when such a person is underrated.

“I DONT THINK GH GIVES FLOWKING STONE THE PROPS HE DESERVES! DUDE IS NONE TO PLAY WITH FOLX!”

He added that he will collaborate with the “Machine Gun Flow” rapper soon.

"COME STRAPPED WITH BOMBS GOIN ON A JOINT WITH HIM."

Stonebwoy details story of musical journey and fatal accident

Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:09:27 +0100

Stonebwoy has detailed his musical journey in a video documentary titled 'Making of an Artiste', produced by NKACC production.

Born Livingstone Etse Satekla, Stonebwoy explained how he started doing music from primary school by mimicking popular songs and also being a member of his church's children's choir.

In the video documentary, Stonebwoy said he started writing few lines of his own in high school until secondary school when he began appearing on radio programmes and also featuring on musical compilations with big artistes like Samini.

Stonebwoy revealed he always stuck to the Reggae and Dancehall genre and working under music producer Quick Action got him to meet Samini which triggered the creation of High Grade Family to push his dream.

He mentioned people like Blakk Rasta, Samini, Shasha Marley among other artistes in his genre of music who supported him to get to where he is now. Stonebwoy acknowledged his relationship with some Jamaicans as a plus to his success.

Stonebwoy could not leave out the effort of his mother who supported him from childhood till date, citing a fatal accident he was involved in at the age of 14 years which left him bedridden for 3 months with a completely fractured knee.

He expressed appreciation to God for taking him through the ordeal successfully and pledged to work harder to take his art to a much more appreciable level.

'No mercy' for corrupt officials - Wanlov loses temper

Thu, 19 Mar 2015 21:43:30 +0100

Controversial musician Wanlov Kubolor is advocating for "no mercy" for government officials and public servants who use their positions to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor.

Speaking about the plight of Ghanaians during his performance on Saturday at the Asa Baako Music Festival at Busia, in the Western Region, Wanlov blamed the extreme poverty in African countries on incompetent and corrupt people who are at the helm of affairs.

In a spontaneous response to a fan who asked him for a solution, Wanlov suggested: "We should kill them ... cut cut their heads off," amid cheers from the crowd.

The half-duo of FOKN Bois group also described performing without his rhyme-partner, Mensa, as akin to "Ghana without electricity."

Other notable artistes who entertained revellers at the beach were Wiyaala, Paulina Oduro, and Kyekyeku. The three-day festival of music and dance ended on Sunday, 8th March.

They’d say I’m doing coke if they knew the life I’m living - Asem

Sun, 08 Mar 2015 22:00:08 +0100

Although I’m yet to hear anyone utter a word that former Lynx Entertainment artiste, Nana Wiafe Asante aka Asem who shot into prominence on the music scene with his hit single Give Me Blow lost weight because of financial difficulty (broke), but the artiste has taken to Instagram to describe such individuals who might have started that rumour as “dummies”.

More like lyrics from an upcoming single, Asem posted on Instagram saying,

"These dummies say I lost weight so I must be broke, if they knew the life we living outchea, they'd say it must be coke, even ellen gets the joke #Asem #TTDL #WBDN Asemmusic.com”

Months ago, several blogs reported that Asem was sick after seeing new pictures of him that showed excessive weight loss.

Asem however denied these publications vehemently in a series of tweets.

Reggie Rockstone did not originate Hiplife – Panji Anoff

Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:01:30 +0100

As the saying goes, “a thing for everyone is for no one.” It is in this respect that sometimes controversies arise over certain feats that are generic and or nonproprietary by nature.

A School of Thought argues that songs with lyrics in Ghanaian dialects over hip hop beats go beyond the 90s. Ghana’s celebrated female musician, Lady Talata was tasked with finding a manager and recording deal for a La (a suburb of Accra – Ghana) based group who rapped in their native Ga (the native language spoken by the Ga people in Ghana) over hip beats somewhere around 1985.

Another School of Thought strongly advocates Panji Anoff deserve the title of the ‘Godfather’ rather than Reggie Rockstone. Panji, an Afrocentric producer came to Ghana in 1991. With his creativity and dedication to the music trade, Panji in the early part of 1993 put out a track ‘Aden,’ a Twi track not different from any contemporary hiplife song.

Another School of Thought also think the likes of Kwaku T and Friends, Michael Cook , Paracetamol, Dansoman Connection and NFL; were very active and gave the genre its much determined respect and should thus be mentioned each time the story of hiplife is narrated. They also think it won’t be wrong to regard Reggie as a promoter of hiplife and not as the originator.

Another School of Thought also posit that Ghana`s hip hop was started by Mahorney Pee, with his first album “Kwaku babone,” followed by Kwesi Sawasa, then K.K Kabobo with his “Nyatenyate Girl” track, before Reggie Rockstone came, then we got Nananom.

In a BBC interview, Rockstone said: “I came home, and in the clubs all the kids were listening to rap from New York or LA – Snoop, Busta Rhymes, all of them – but not necessarily understanding what they’re saying.”

Reggie’s own words betray him in a way as far as this particular School of Thought is concerned. A true vindication that hiplife’s kind existed even when no one had heard the name Reggie Rockstone.

Irrespective of the above claims, one thing all should bear in mind is the fact that when a person conceives a dream, irrespective of the number of people who believe and render support to make the dream a reality from the very genesis, forever remains supporters, or put in another sense, Founders, and not The Founder. In Reggie’s own words on who own hiplife, he said: “Hiplife is now generic. Hiplife is for the people.”

Till date, many sees Reggie Rockstone as the originator, creator, or inventor of hiplife music, but others don’t; depending on which School of Thought the fellow belongs to. It is believed that the argle-bargle of who truly owns hiplife will continue even after Reggie Rockstone is called by his Maker.

Once again the debate has been ignited – – ever audacious Panji Anoff has shared some few facts about the origination and ownership of Hiplife as a music form since Reggie is confusing his VVIP’s Selfie song to be a Hip-hop song and not a Hiplife song. According to Panji:

“Starting any analysis of Hiplife from Reggie Rockstone onwards flaws the argument because Hiplife, the art form, the word and the fusion existed in many forms before Reggie came onto the scene. Without a doubt, Reggie popularized the art form, and made it into a household phenomenon.”

He continued: “But “Da Multy Krew” was making Hiplife music back in 1990, NFL was rapping in Pidgin, Twi and Ga back in 1992 even though they did not call it Hiplife. Talking Drums called their music “Hiplife” back in 1993.

“You cannot analyze any artistic phenomenon only from the moment it becomes popular… by then all the important ingredients have already been stewing for years… Hiplife is Ghanaian MC based music just as Hiphop is American MC based music….

“But all were preceded by Jamaican Toasting, which took its inspiration from Ghanaian Okyeame’s…” Which School of Thought do you belong to or believe in. Unfurl your thought. Until then… MOTWUM!!

‘Selfie’ is a hiplife song not hiphop song - Hammer

Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:00:31 +0100

Music producer and CEO of The Last Two Music Group, Edward Nana Poku Osei known as Hammer in showbiz has stated that VVIP’s ‘Selfie’ song is more of a hiplife song than a hiphop.

His comment is coming in the wake of the controversy generated by the song which was nominated in the Hiplife Song of the Year category of this year’s Ghana Music Awards.

Meanwhile VVIP and some pundits have argued that the song should have rather been nominated in the Hiphop Song of the Year category.

Explaining his stance, the record producer said in an interview with Ibrahim Ben-Bako on Hitz Entertainment News, ‘Selfie’ has hiphop elements but it’s a dance song and the hiplife genre is normally made up of dance songs. People don’t dance to real hiphop songs, they either bounce or nod to it, he said.

“The dancing part of ‘Selfie’ overwhelms the hiphop part, so I’ll actually see it as a dance song which makes it automatically fit the hiplife category. If I had my way it will make it to the Afro dance category,’ Hammer added.

He noted that, if you want a hiplife song that is closest to hiphop then that will be Joy B’s ‘Tonga’.

Comparing the two songs, Hammer said, “The emptiness of ‘Tonga’, the instruments are limited, it has a lead straight to the point, the rap dominates but you can dance to it too. So if you want a hiplife song that is closest to hiphop that will be ‘Tonga’. ‘Selfie’ went into the dance area too much to call it a hiphop song, I’ll say their hiphop element is good but the dance area overwhelms the hiphop side”.

Explaining further, he said, “I think it fits the hiplife category because even when you listen to Lazy [Zeal’s] rap, its hiplife”.

Hammer concluded that the debate also depends on how Reggie Rockstone describes hiplife but he still sees “Selfie” as a hiplife song.
