Hiplife

Hey guys!!!! Whilst you lot are all suffering in subzero temperatures, i'm here wilting like a weed in the sun!! Only joking but it is maaaaaaaaaaad hot out here, and my skin has definately got a few shades darker!!!

Soooo... being that i'm in Ghana, I've decided to do a blog on the popular Ghanian music that is called Hiplife. Its a mix of traditional Ghanian Highlife and Hip Hop, and after sinking a few cool bottles of beer in a spot (Ghanian term for pub) it gets any venue jumpin!!!

To begin with, we have Tinny with a song titled "Tingele"



Tinny ft Batman Samini "Now I Know"




KK Fosu with the "Sudjwe" remix ft Batman, Tinny and Kokovelli.



And finally Tsotso ft KK Fosu with "Wonkoaa

WTF!!!!

Now i know the elections are over, but i was supposed to post this ages ago, and its only just come back to my attention.
The world is a crazy place!!!!



What gets me, is that if she wants to believe that foolishness then that's her right, but to bring the child into it is just wrong!!

And i know this sounds like a stupid question, but isn't she of some form of black descent???
Parents teach your children PLEASE!!!!!!!!

SMDH

She's Baaccck!!!

As i was browsing the web, trying to find exciting news for all you hungry music fans, i came across this interesting video.

To those who don't know Mya is a multi-platinum American R&B singer/songwriter who does just about everything else you can imagine!!! She started her career in the late nineties and has 5 album releases under her belt.
Although very successful in the US, her tipping point over here was probably with her 2001 cover of 'Lady Marmalade', which was a collaboration with Pink, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera.



Now, as i earlier mentioned i came across something interesting, and this happened to be her new single 'Paradise' from her latest album Sugar & Spice. The song was written by the super fly Neyo, who is writing songs for practically every R&B singer at the moment!!

Surprisingly, the song is only being released in Japan, via iTunes.

Or maybe its not that big a surprise. I've never been that big a fan of Mya, although she has had a few classic tracks. To be blunt, i think its sounds a cheap rip off of Neyo's 'Independent Woman'



I'll leave it up to you to decide!!!!

Where are u maaaannn!!

So i was tidying up my flat today and put my iTunes on shuffle, and it happened to play some tracks from some of my all time favourite artists who have seemed to disappear off the face of the earth!!
So with this blog, i would like to pay homage to you, and ask you to come back, and bring back that musical pleasure that you always seemed to inflict on me with your tracks!!! ;-)

So to begin...



And...



We can't forget...




And we already know what happened to this one... 'Tis a damn shame!!!!

I'm baaaaaccck!!

Hey guys, before i start i wanna say soooorrrry!!!
I know i've been slipping, but i'm back now, and i promise i'm here to stay. Ur gonna be sooo bombarded with posts your gonna become bored thinking "Damn it!!! Not HER again" ;-)
Right, now enough with the babbling lets get down to business!!
I was just browsing the web, and i discovered this foolishness, or foolywang material. (For those of you not in the know, follywang is something or somebody who is worthy of being ridiculed for their behaviour/appearance)

Now i actually really REALLY liked this song but after hearing this i'm very disappointed!! I'm not gonna talk sideways about Lupe coz he's my boy, or even Chris Brown!! But who i do have to talk about is that Lil Wayne. Know i have to be the 1st one to admit that I do listen his stuff and will go as far to say that i enjoy it, but seriously does anyone actually understand what he is saying????
Lil Wayne aka Dwayne Micheal Carter Jr is one of the biggest hip hop artists at the moment with his latest album going platinum and selling over 2 000 000 copies. But come on, even my four yr son could do a better verse than that!!
SMDH!!!

Mr Harry Benjamin Asmah Jnr - 14.09.44 - 04.11.07

Hey guys!!! I know its been REALLY quiet on my front and for those who have been experiencing withdrawal symptoms, I've crawled out from my lil' cave and i'm back baby!!
I know this blog is supposed to be about music, but i need to do this....

The first thing i'd like to say is that I'd like to celebrate the life of my late father Harry, who passed away 1 yr and 1 week ago!!
Everyday that passes helps to reduce the pain, but i still miss him like crazy, and decided to make a post about him!!
Out of your five children, i was the only who didn't see you before you passed, and despite this i hope you know how much you meant to me!
You where my father, my best friend, my brother, and even sometimes my enemy!!! But i will NEVER forget you. You'll always be in my heart!!
I love you daddy.

Welcome!

Hello!! Hola!! Akwaaba!!
Welcome one and all to my blogspot!!! Come, take a pew, rest your feet and leave all the rest up to me!
As you may have gathered from my blog title, I am going to talking about the kinda music that gets your foot tapping, your head nodding, and eventually you end up having to "break ya neck"!!! (U've gotta love Busta)
Here I will try to entertain you with my (hopefully), daily ramblings about what is annoying me with the music industry, especially the "Urban" genres! (Don't you just hate that term?!?!?)
Also who's the one to watch out for, articles, reviews, blah, blah, blah!!
Stay tuned & Stay blessed.
