Ghana music is definitely better than years ago. Remember the days of Jay Q( breaking bottles), Sugar tone and then appietus surfaced!!
Those were the days when M3nsa, the half duo of the Fokn bois also made his breakthrough in music production. Anyways, he went unnoticed. The man that stole all is shine was Grandpapa Reggie Rockstone.
He was the man who came out with the Ghanaian version of Hip hop (mix of comtemporary high life and hiphop rhythms).
We were all excited when news broke out that he was joining VIP after Promzy exited the group. This sounded like a joke till he proved doubters wrong when they released their first single 'selfie'. As expected, of the three heavy weights, fans wanted something definitely off -the-hook.
Some of us still see the song as 'dope' but others argue.
Well, Reggie got furious when a sound producer/Engineer called the song a 'substandard'.
Roro might be right but the issues grand papa has with Roro are pretty simple.
First of all Roro went about the whole issue very wrong. Grandpapa expected Roro to have called them first and possibly offered alternatives to the 'poor' production he opined.
Second of all, Grandpapa sees Roro's comments as a cheap publicity stunt for the defunct member of VIP; Promzy.
Apparently Roro is the Engineer working on Promzy's album and so he doesn't see it beyond the publicity circles.
They both might be right, but I feel the current media tussel is not the best of choice to handle the issue considering their social media followings.
Personally I feel if it is a publicity stunt by Roro, then he definitely got it wrong. It will benifit the VVIP camp more.
This media roar is openning the door for the song to go viral!!
Read excerpts of Reggie Rockstone's interview below.
Reggie Rockstone vomited chilly words at Roro.
“Don’t mind Roro! Don’t mind him! When was
the last time you Roro gave us a hit! When was
the last time you gave us a hit record?
First, you Roro, you are not my co-equal. Two,
when I started making music, you Roro, you had
not even bought a drum machine! Three, am I a
sound engineer? Four, Roro, if you hear say
something no correct about your brothers dema
music, you could not pick your phone and call
us and tell us that there’s something wrong so
we should bring it for you to tighten it so we
can also part something (money) to you.Or you
(Roro) can say the mix is not correct cos you are
a professional. Roro did not do that, instead,
you took your opinion to the media; what
importance will that bring? Why do you go to
the media and say that? You Roro, you have not
made a cut for how long……you have recorded
Promzy since he left VIP.
Where is Promzy’s song? Who has heard it? Have
I resorted to the media to say anything? Have I
said the song Roro recorded for Promzy is
a…..This is a short cut for publicity and it’s a
cheap publicity stunt. We (VVIP) do not respect it
and he has also broken the oath of brotherhood
and friendship”
Roro apparently phoned through to clarify issues but Reggie was so 'mad' to grant him the chance and like Grandpapa said he should reaort to the media and Roro pulled the trigger too...
Check how Roro reacted to Reggie's comments.....
“Reggie rockstone is
calling me a snitch hahahahahahaha who
snitches more than him. Hypocrite and an
opportunist who always wana capitalise on any
given chance. Come and i will show u what good
music is. He just lost ma respect for him. Bring
it on I’m waiting. Grand papa (tweaaaaaaaaa).”
