Shatta Wale will not go anywhere - Blakk Rasta

Blakk Rasta was on eTV's The Late Nite Celebrity
Show to talk music and Ghana’s music scene
currently.
The outspoken musician observed;
“I traveled to America and many other places in the
world and there is no Ghana music anywhere.
Show me one Ghanaian song that is making waves
anywhere apart from Ghana.
“Hype! We love hype. All you hear is people
claiming they’ve shot a video for 6 million dollars
and it’s going to be shown on e.TV. So what? Too
much hype! Walk the talk. Be on stage, perform for
hours, sweat and walk off stage tired for the people
to know you’ve given them their money’s worth.
When Giovani mentioned that acts like Rocky
Dawuni, Knii Lante and Fuse ODG were doing well,
the singer argued;
“Very well, that’s subjective. When ten people
watch you perform, when only two did the previous
year, it can be counted as a success. I am talking
about shaking the world. I’m talking about hearing
Ghanaian music like you hear Nigerian music
whenever you go out there.
“We make it look like if can’t speak Patois then it’s
not Reggae or Dancehall.

When it comes to Reggae and Dancehall, we are
still enslaved by the Jamaicans.
Touching on his favorite Dancehall act currently, he
said;
“I think Samini is not bad because he has
Africanized it but of late he has also gone the
Jamaican way. That thing doesn’t go anywhere.
Stonebwoy is not bad but he is also still in the
Jamaican shadow. I want to feel their Africanness
in the music because with what we do you can’t go
on stage after Vibes Kartel has performed. They
will boot you out. I wish they will go out there and
taste the international crowd. You don’t go and
perform for one hundred Ghanaians in a Gym and
think you are touring international.
“Shatta Wale is gifted but Shatta Wale will not go
anywhere with what he is doing. He will tickle
himself and laugh. Go to Youtube and see some of
the international community’s comments under his
songs. Because they hear so much about him and
then decide to check him out and realize, it’s not
real.
“Why is he begging Jamaica. Begging in the sense
that he is always sounding like them. Dancehall is
dying." He concluded.
