Popular Ghanaian entertainment critic, Mr Logic has indicated that two of Ghana’s biggest dancehall musicians, Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale have held dancehall music in high esteem.
The entertainment commentator made this known in a recent submission he made on the popular Ghanaian radio station, Hitz FM.
In his submission, he said;
“Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale have held Dancehall music in high esteem. It is not easy to have international affiliations.
Stonebwoy’s connect with Jamaicans is an organic one. Usually Jamaicans like to work with artistes who are forcing to make it. They will take the money before they work with you. But with Stonebwoy, it’s different.”
In an earlier submission, quizzed Ghanaian TV stations about why they find it prudent to bring telenovelas from outside Ghanaian and translate them them to show to Ghanaians while they can actually make one here.
In his submission, he said;
“Why would you do bring telenevolas from Venezuela and translate and show it to the Ghanaian when you can pay a Ghanaian filmmaker to produce movies?
The blame game will continue even after our deaths. If government should fix the system now, the system will be destroyed again because the Ghanaian hasn’t fixed themselves.
Why would you pay the Venezuelan $10,000 for a movie, translate and show to Ghanaians, and pay GHS 300 to a Ghanaian filmmaker? We have mental problem.
TV stations are opportunists. They are taking advantage of the filmmakers.”
