So what I\u2019m saying is that stop rating these things, it should stop, it\u2019s not necessary, it\u2019s disrespecting our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomebody goes somewhere and says I\u2019ve sold 10,000 (copies of cds) and its history and I\u2019m thinking, don\u2019t you have respect for Ghana? When we know artistes have sold 500,000 (copies of cds) in a day. Did you not hear of shortage of Lumba\u2019s album on its release day?<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nAsk Big Ben how many copies of CDs he made; we are talking about 500,000 records which finished in a day. You sell 10,000 copies and you claim you\u2019ve made history? Let\u2019s stop this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tic Tac further noted that it is due to such boastings that Ghana\u2019s music market is being taking over by aliens.<\/p>\n<p>To help put a check to that, he disclosed of launching a celebrity police website to reveal the truth about things that are posted about some celebrities in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Touching on how he has kept himself relevant in the music industry for so long, the award-winning artiste said: \u201cI did good songs. When I do a song, I want to do good songs so that even when I\u2019m not singing it will be doing the talking for me without me talking bad about something or trying to pick on other people just to stay relevant. I think my work was so huge that I don\u2019t need that. I depend solely on my music, my face and my name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music of Tuesday, 3 October 2017 Source: classfmonline.com 2017-10-03 Veteran hiplife artiste, Tic Tac &#13; Veteran hiplife artiste, Tic Tac, has called on Ghanaian musicians to respect the industry and avoid singing their own praises when their claims cannot be backed by evidence.
