Opinion CELEBRATING REIGNING GHANAIAN DIAMONDS ...Sarkodie... PART 1.
DEC 24, 2014 LISTEN

Even though I prefer Obrafour to Sarkodie in Ghanaian Rap, I am compelled to believe and accept that Sarkodie is a Reigning Ghanaian Diamond! However, Obrafour was a Reigning Ghanaian Diamond in his peak days some years ago. And it is somehow baseless to merely compare Sarkodie to Obrafour because Ghanaian Rap has evolved. But the only basis of comparison must and would be "Lyrical Content Quality (LCQ)" because this is the spirit of rap. And Obrafour would always win this basis of comparison.

Now to the substance of this article. Sarkodie has greatly influenced the evolution of Ghanaian Rap. His Rap Style is brilliant and distinctive. As a "successful" Rapper, his "success" in rap descibes struggle, dynamism, innovation, brilliance and diligence. I dare say that he is the true Ghanaian Rapper to be the Epitome of Ghanaian Rap internationally. For technological advancement is the primary power of this feature. What I love most about him is the dynamics of his rap in Ghana's evolving music industry.

However, I still have qualms about the Lyrical Content Quality of his rap. He thinks he is complying with the evolution of Ghanaian Rap but he can drastically reduce the unwholesome lyrics if he wants to become a Revolutionary Rapper like Obrafour. Or else he would continue to be the Entertaining Rapper he is. His lyrics have nothing to do with his personal style of rap, but they are mostly influenced by the demands of an evolving industry.

Lastly, I challenge Sarkodie to fully grow into a more Revolutionary Rapper. For this would bestow upon him a Lasting Title (the Grain) which musicians like Bob Marley and Obrafour have though they are not in their peak days. But if he insists on being the Entertaining Rapper that he is, he would receive a Temporary Title (the Chaff) like others in the global music industry have.
