All Time Wack Ghanaian Rappers

The advent of hiplife brought about a revolution in the Ghanaian music landscape which hitherto had been dominated by hilife and gospel. This new genre which basically was rap music on local instrumentation or African beats, saw lots of youth trying their luck with the rap thing in order to show their talents and also of course put food on the table.

As much as we had and still have very good rappers, it was also very easy to fish out the wannabes who lacked the talent for rap.

Below we present to you Ghana’s all time wack rappers….enjoy

 

KOKOVELI

Kokovelli may have had luck smile his way since he got some hit songs out there with his first album ZAAZA. He also benefitted from the collaboration with Samini and K.K. Fosu which gave birth to the  group TRINITY. However, it was obvious Kokovelli wasn’t a rapper. Dudes rap was just lame and his lines were just childish. No wonder after the breakup of Trinity, his music career died.

C-ZAR

C-Zar is like the Diddy of Ghana music. He can’t rap, his lines are lame and he’s got the most outrageous choruses, but he always gets the public interested. According to him, his rap is rappable.. Don’t know the hell what that means. But anyway, I guess luck has a limit on how many times it can shine on a single person. Its been years and nothing has been heard from C-Zar, guess Ghanaians finally got tired of his wack self.

PHAROAH (AKATAKYIE)

“Mi Pharaoh, mi di mi rap, maba, maba……..” I guess you remember this infamous rap line?? That was Pharaohs first few lines on Akatakyie’s “Odo Esisi mi” song. The verse was so bad I learnt he was nearly beaten by VIP when he met them at a club and went like, VIP whats up?lol…. A lot of rappers were pissed off with homeboys rap cos to them, he dragged the genre back a thousand years…. He got a lil better over the years though but my 4 year old niece can still do better than him.

PAEDAE

How many times have we not spoken about Paedizzle already?? The truth is that, R2Bees is winning but Paedae is the odd one out. He can’t write one single line that is deep. His lines are always shallow and his few attempts at throwing punch lines always end up bad. But how for do….Rahh still…..

KWAKU TEE (KWAKU TUTU)

Honestly Kwaku Tee cannot rap to save his own life. Dude just sucks at the rap thing. For someone who’s been in the game for this long, you’ll think that he would have owned the scene by now but the opposite is the case. He’s changed his name several times but it didn’t bring him any luck. The only success he’s had was his joint album with D-Black which actually brought Black to the fore of Gh music. D-Black though he’s also wack, is still here and making papers whiles Kwaku we learnt now plies his trade as a radio and TV presenter in SA.

D-BLACK

D-Black is a business man, period. He does everything that the public wants. Great danceable beats, easy to sing along choruses and great marketing strategy. Honest truth is D-Black can’t rap good to save his life. For a rapper who’s collaborations out-number his solo projects, we can’t draw any other conclusion can we?

OKYEAME QUOPHI

One half of the defunct hiplife group, Akyeame, Okyeame Quophi just couldn’t rap. He wrote good lines though but his delivery was always wack. After the group broke up, he released a solo album which didn’t do well. He is now singing and as much as I’ll like to say it isn’t too good, I do prefer that to his rap.

POZOH (NANANOM)

Pozo knows how to make hit songs but for the rap proper, you can spare him. From his Nananom days to when he went solo, his rap has never matured. He still spits the same old, immature lines. He will use any word or line just to rhyme. He got through with a few hits but Ghanaians grew tired of his wack self. His absence definitely is a sign that he’s gotten the message.

MACHO RAPPER

It’s nice to rap about your strength and capabilities but when every song has this same pattern, then it becomes boring. Macho rapper doesn’t rap about anything than how strong he is, how he will beat you if you come near his girl, how he writes his lines while lifting weight in the gym and all that. Simple put, dude makes no sense with his rap. I need a bodyguard ASAP!!!!!lol
