Just when Ghana thought the interesting lyrical wars amongst our rappers have come to a standstill, a Tema-based rapper known as Shamelongo has thrown some shades at Pappy Kojo. In his new single titled Miss Lolo which featured one of the heavyweight rappers of the moment, Flowking Stone, Shamelongo said this: … “Menye Cheap Rap Tese Yiwodross.”
Yiwodross, is almost like Pappy Kojo’s favorite slogan or musical signature, so his colleague rapper saying he does not do cheap rap like Yiwodross is enough cause for alarm. Although the Awoa rapper has his own unique style, a section of the public has not been content with his lyrical prowess and has thus labeled him as a ‘wack rapper’.SHAMELONGO pix
Flex newspaper however did not want to blow Shamelongo’s punch line out of proportion, so we reached out to him to throw more light on that controversial line he did on Miss Lolo.
“Of course that particular bar is directed at Pappy Kojo, because he does cheap rap. As a rapper, you have to write tight bars like what I do on my songs. If I compare Pappy to other Fante rappers, I see his flow to be very weak. Sometimes his rap is annoying, so I even tune off when I hear it. I feel ashamed that such content is coming from my fellow Ghanaian rapper,” Shamelongo proclaimed.
He continued, “Pappy Kojo is not my friend and I’ve not even seen him before. I’ve only heard a couple of his songs, but I’m not his fan. I can’t write his bars for him, but I can call his attention to check his lyrics. People should not assume I’m seeking attention. If I need attention, I’d tap into a hot artiste’s shine, not Pappy Kojo who’s currently irrelevant in the game.”
According to Shamelongo, Ghana’s music industry is growing so we need to correct each other where need be. Anyone at all, he said, is free to straighten him when he backslides.
Produced by Ctea Beats, Miss Lolo is the freshest freestyle song making waves everywhere. Miss Lolo together with other songs of Shamelongo like Emeamea, Lean Back, Lomna Va, Sinitwem, etc, are all up for internet downloads.
