You Are Dumb If You Can’t Tell A Story With Rap — Reggie Rockstone

Ghanaian veteran rapper, Reggie Rockstone talks about the state of rap. Furthermore, according to him Ghanaian rappers are not rapping anymore.

Moreover, he believes what they call rap isn’t rap music. This is per his knowledge of what a rap music sounds like.

The rapper made these inferences in an interview with Mercury Quaye on Hitz FM’s “Cruise Control”. He lamented over why some Ghanaian rappers cannot paint images with lyrics when producing songs. However, they call themselves creative act persons.

He added that current crop of musicians do not learn from the experienced musicians who through their hard work paved way in the Ghanaian music industry. Due to that their songs don’t inspire him.

Reggie Rockstone on current generation of musicians

“If you can’t tell a story you can’t rap. These kids ain’t rapping no more. We were rocking these metaphors and similes.

I don’t listen too much of the current hip-hop…a lot of the new music doesn’t inspire and does nothing to me. I don’t like the mumble rap. I like to feed my soul with good music so I don’t listen to junk music”

Reggie Rockstone is one of Ghana’s finest rappers. He is the Grandpapa of hiplife.
