“I’ve heard people talking about my video. I was just telling Ghanaian politicians to apply common sense and stop using the nation’s money on stupid things”.

Rapper, Pope Skinny pledges to revive the dying hardcore rap in the Ghanaian music space.

Furthermore, according to him, the emergence of commercial music turned all the talented rappers into singing. Moreover, the situation caused a decline in the industry.

He made these statement to Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM. The rapper said he’ll put measures in place to revive the hip-hop rap genre in Ghana.

Pope Skinny about reviving the rap industry

“The rappers in Ghana are dead and not working because rap doesn’t sell anymore so everyone is singing. We’re trying to put the rappers on their toes. I am trying to tell all the sleeping rappers to wake up.” 

Furthermore, the host asked about what he meant by rap being dead. This is because there were rappers like Sarkodie, EL, Manifest, among others still present in the game. However, Pope said they were all sleeping because what they do isn’t hard anymore.

Pope added that critics who label him a mere rapper are people who don’t listen to his songs.

“When I am saying rap is dead I mean we all slept at a point in time. It’s not about who you like. Who should resurrect rap when everyone is sleeping? Sarkodie is my guy and I wouldn’t say anything to hurt him. Every rapper is asleep and they will wake up. I have to feel the Sarkodie I knew way back. We can do our love songs but once we are rappers lets wake up for those who love rap to jam to it.”
