Great analytical write up. Also, some parts of the music seem to be samples of some classic highlife tunes yanked together. Not quite seamlessly.

The writer is right in his stance.even if you want to make a happy simple catchy song, it must make sense.there was always something off about that song

All you fools think about is everyone is jealous and phd how will this country move on with only ass licking fools who can't criticize without being called haters. Nayele was applauded on social media for her extravagant lifestyle people who said her source of income is fishy were called haters and jealous thank god the truth came out. He is advising bisa if he's smart hell take it and do better so he won't be the normal Ghanaian mediocre artist then fools like you attack this great writer. Useless being

This is a meaningless critique of someone's masterpiece. Even the Tongas, the Abibas, the Mosess, were rewarded as good songs. Leave K'dei alone.

Are you serious that Mansa song by Bisa Kdei is really good, I don't see or hear nothing wrong with the song at all. Who the hell wrote this article, pull him down syndrome indeed.

Does the writer have a relative called mansa? The song was to please all on both sides of the narrative. Just shut up and enjoy the song.

...and the Nigerian artistes keep making money? There are so many too-known people in Ghana. Give the man his freedom! That's why it's an art. And let the man make his money, that's why it's business.

Ghanafoo many of you are exists useless and excuses for humans why can't fools like you be killed instead of good ones in Paris it should be useless fools like you who always think of juju, witchcraft, jealousy and that word I hate Pull him down. How's this writer pulling this boy down? To the fools saying he didn't write about other artists you fools should know you can choose which one yout want to write about maybe he'll critique others soon. Hollywood movies are critiqued by professionals and they don't say pull him down they take it on good faith and do better next time. You fools will forever be backwards. Cursed people glad am not there fools everywhere. I hate that I war born there. Long live America.
