I was itching to listen to this collaboration between our very own Sarkodie and Acehood.This song got the most public attention after the scandal of who actually called who for the collaboration, if the collaboration actually attracted $25,000 and if that was the main reason why Sarkodie did not show up the #dumsormuststop vigil. All I'm saying is this, the anticipation for #NEWGUY was great and I don't think I was the only person who got caught up in the #NEWGUY fever. Congratulations to Sarkodie for the execution of this very nice song.
However I would love to ask Sark and the SarkNation some few questions. Sark, did you actually mean it when you told Acehood that you were going to build him a statue in Africa at the 3:11 minute of the song? I mean we don't even have a statue of Theodosia Okoh or Ephraim Amu here in Ghana and you want to build Acehood one? Wow! Did you have to also tarnish the image of a neighborhood you are from to the world? Was it really necessary? We are now in a New Africa where Africa is being portrayed as a beautiful place and you had to say Tema was a slum in Africa. Were you trying to mean suicide is the order of the day for Africans?? OUR AFRICA!! I mean really though, Sammy Forson you better do the talking.
So we all know Acehood to be a very hard rapper but his cool verses on #NEWGUY made me believe the song was actually his because Sark went too hard on his first verse and wasn't allowed to change it. $25,000 paaaaa! He actually said he was going to send Acehood to Africa because his people love him but majority of us are here asking; WHO THE HECK IS ACEHOOD charley? Stop throwing dust into Ace's eyes. LOL
All in all though thanks for putting Ghana on a map but please do a better representation next time; like Davido did in #FansMi. Well done SarkNation.
SARK MEDAASE!
Well said!!
ReplyDeletewell done beni! truth be told i did not even listen to the song well but i think you've summarized it all
ReplyDeleteWell I didn't expect anyone to attack this sing from this angle. Lol, perfectly executed song from both parties by the way. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a true exhibition of the highest level of ignorance. The punchlines by Sark are very deep, you gotta be wise to understand them. "Every story has got two sides"-what do you make of that line ? Let me help you out ! That line is basically talking about the controversy behind who called who and whether Sark paid Ace or not ?. Now, he saying "I made it from the slums back in Africa" figuratively is trying to talk about the difficulties he went through from the ground up to where he is now (reason for the title NewGuy). He didn't mean Tema is a slum cos somewhere in that same bar he made mention of Tema comm 9 being 'heaven' to him. U Digg?? As u rightly said, dis is New Africa but he is talking about the Old Africa, which was nun to right home about. Considering what's happening in South Africa (Xenophobia) and Ghana(Accra Floods), would you consider Africa a beautiful place ?? He speaks the truth as they are, and that's what we need.
ReplyDeleteAgain, do u know that aside America, Ace Hood's greatest Fan base is Accra ?? Not sure you do. That's why Sark said his people love him cos that's where Sark's greatest fan base are. You overstand ??
Building of the statue for ace, figuratively , also means he is gonna return Ace's hospitality by embossing him deep in the minds of the Ghanaian people and African people at large. Why do u think we have a museum for Kwame Nkrumah? Cos he was an important figure for Ghana and we commemorate him with that. If anyone is throwing dust, u r cos u deceiving ya audience with ya shallow thoughts.
Sark also upheld our mother tongue by teaching Ace to say 'Medaase'.
Sark doesn't make songs for shallow thinkers, u gotta think deep to roll with his songs.
Concerned fan of Sarkodie.
Sark is a Hell of a Nation.
Sark for life...
