Reggie Rockstone, the man many Ghanaians believe started the Hip-life movement/genre, has shaded the current crop of rappers we have.
According to the the veteran rapper, Hip-life artistes these days are not rapping anymore — he believes what they call rap isn’t rap music per his knowledge of what a rap music sounds like.
Reggie made this known in an interview with Mercury Quaye on Hitz FM’s “Cruise Control”. He lamented that these musicians do not learn from the experienced musicians who through their hard work paved way in the Ghanaian music industry “that is why their songs don’t inspire him”.
“If you can’t tell a story you can’t rap. These kids ain’t rapping no more. We were rocking these metaphors and similes”, Reggie said.
Reggie that, “I don’t listen too much of the current hip-hop…a lot of the new music doesn’t inspire and does nothing to me. I don’t like the mumble rap. I like to feed my soul with good music so I don’t listen to junk music”, he added.
