Young Ghanaian Hip Hop artiste and rapper Lyrical Joe,
fondly called LJ, stopped by 3Music TV and graced the Culture Daily show.
In discussing Wizkid’s comments on Rap being dead and
boring, Lyrical Joe dropped some pointers and explained why rappers have not
yet responded to Wizkid.
Wizkid posted on Snapchat writing, “Afrobeats is the
new pop. I sold two million copies in America off one song! Even some American
artistes don’t have a diamond record. If I’m being honest, I don’t listen to
any other genre of music anymore. I don’t listen to Rap – that s*** is boring
to me. It’s dead now, it’s tired. These guys do the same s***, rap on the same
beats and the same flows.”
When asked by MzGee about his thoughts on the above, LJ said he believes rappers are looking at the “number games”. This is to say that Wizkid has influence and a million fans. Quoting Lyrical Joe, he said, “What I know as a rapper is, we rappers we don't wait for number games, it doesn't matter! You can have one follower and still go at somebody."
Lyrical Joe went on to say that Wizkid contradicted
himself with what he posted. To quote him, "Contradiction happened there
because you say that rap is dead, but you go ahead to mention who the rappers
are." In reference to Wizkid's other Snap post which read "Y'all not
even rappers! Nasty C, Sarkodie, Black Sherif the only rappers in Africa. Y'all
dumb f****."
Award-winning rapper Lyrical Joe is known for rap
songs like KNACK, SELF and SUPERMAN.
