I Have To Dumb Down My Rap Before Ghanaians Can Understand — E.L

E.L talks rap.

Ghanaian artist, EL revealed that often he dumbs down his rap. Moreover, this is so it can get to a level that the average Ghanaian can understand it.

Furthermore, the rapper made these statements in a recent interview. He was of the view that often when he writes he realizes he has to dumb down some portions. This is to appeal to the masses.

These seem like strange sentiments from a guy crowned Best Rapper of the Year at a point.

E.L told Joy News’ MzGee about his lyrics

“I feel myself most of the time having to dumb it down and that’s not a bad thing because you have to consider what you want to achieve in terms of making music and expressing yourself to a wider audience and you have to think about how the wider audience can understand.” 

E.L said this is why sometimes his lyrics might not seem so deep. However, if he wanted he could go as deep as anyone else.

“Most of the time, I am like ‘if I say it this way, them no go ‘barb’ [they won’t understand]’. I could go as deep as anybody.”
