They just put words together and with the assistance of these computers, produce sounds and release them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to go back to the old times and learn how we used to produce great beats that got both the old and young to appreciate it. There are Highlife songs which are over three decades old but are still evergreen. Can we say same for these new songs? That is what I\u2019m advocating for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Throwing more light on the issue on Daybreak Hitz, Wednesday, Ambolley said he is concerned because songs that are recorded without recourse to creativity become popular but are unable to stand the test of time. He emphasized that the likes of Bob Marley are still enjoying airplay because of the quality of their songs.<\/p>\n<p>But reacting to his submission, Bulldog, known in real life as Lawrence Nana Asiama Hanson said Ambolley\u2019s assessment is despicable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a composer of \u2018sharp sharp\u2019 music and he turns around to criticize \u2018sharp sharp\u2019 music? I don\u2019t know what \u2018sharp sharp\u2019 music is but people do music for the moment. Can he compare any of his songs to Bob Marley\u2019s songs? Bob Marley died long ago but they still play Bob Marley\u2019s songs more than he [Ambolley] who is alive,\u201d he jabbed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis [Ambolley] Simi Rap is a quickie song. You can\u2019t listen to somebody\u2019s song and say this is rubbish. You may not like something about it but someone else likes it. If he wants to say the kids of today are not writing good songs, then he missed the point. The same Stonebwoy he was trying to push down the last time, Stonebwoy has \u2018Run Go\u2019. I don\u2019t know any of his [Ambolley] songs that will be compared to \u2018Run Go\u2019. \u2018Agya Nyame\u2019 is a beautiful song but when you look at its status with \u2018Run Go\u2019, you should know \u2018Run Go\u2019 is deeper, it\u2019s global,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, www.abrantepa.com reported Ambolley as saying no Ghanaian Reggae\/Dancehall Artiste, including Stonebwoy, will be able to win the Grammys as there is no originality in their songs.<\/p>\n<p>For some industry folks, Ambolley\u2019s constant refusal to appreciate efforts of the current crop of musicians is unfathomable.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 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>Entertainment of Wednesday, 18 October 2017 Source: Abrantepa.com 2017-10-18 Artiste manager, Bulldog &#13;
