Not DAMN, Prezzo and Wyre on the same video

Kenyan Rapper Prezzo and RnB artist Wyre’s new ‘Gimme the Music’ video begins with a fly chic quipping, “Wyre and Prezzo on the same track, DAMN!!” With such an intro, one definitely expects a dope clip full of the choreography that Wyre has fashioned his brand name with and a few blingy things from the ‘President’. Instead, we are treated to Nix and his partner standing like statues. Prezzo meanwhile just sways to the otherwise groovy beat with enough machismo to shame a WWE wrestler. The video fails to match with the hot tune and catchy vocals. The hot chics don’t even dance. The director decides to make fading ‘news shots’ of them i.e. only the head and shoulders. Perhaps the idea was just to give fans a taste of what to expect so that we only urge them to Give Us The Music and forget the video!

Who is better Abbas or Nyashinski?

Bugzzalot has the answer to this…Abbas a.k.a Doobiez! If you’ve listened to the Artists.ke collabo track titled ‘Tatizo’ Abbas kills it. There has been controversy between the two since Nyash and his Kleptomaniacs colleagues declared themselves Kings of Rap in
Kenya. Abbas quickly pointed out that there are better rappers in the industry than the Klepto trio, who are famed for their ‘Tuendelee’ single. This is true to a large extent as everyone knows. In the ‘Tatizo’ song Nyash claims his primary school bad boy attitude and brags about being a bully. Nobody loves a bully and his lines are weak compared to Abbas. Abbas fires up the track when he says: Unanikumbusha Mariah vile umecarry (twisting the name Mariah Carey to express his love of voluptuous ladies. I’ve seen his girlfriend; he’s not lying.) Or Niko juu ya maji kama ferry(referring to his drunken state since kuwa maji is to be drunk). ‘Tatizo’ also features Jua Cali and Nameless with lead vocals from Pam (former Coca-Cola pop star from the Sema group) and another fly talented chic whom I’ve never managed to acquire her name. Produced by Clemo of Calif Records, the track has been receiving colossal in the media. I actually watched the clip on TV three times in a span of two hours from KBC’s Club One, NTV’s The Beat and Citizen’s X-Treme. The Abbas and Nyash verses are strangely placed together. Perhaps Clemo wanted to settle the controversy for good!

Ogopa Dance School

Ogopa DJs are still striving to teach us how to dance with their new hits from Habib, Longombas and Kalaharians.

Habib in his new collabo intro sings:

Shaky Shaky Shaky Shaky…

Longombas in their ‘Chukua’ single does the same except in Swahili:

Tingi Tingi Tingi Tingisha

Perhaps DJ John of H2O show on KTN picked  up on this yester (3^rd Jan 2006) and played the songs back to back. I noticed that both lines were sung in exactly the same rhythm.

Straight Girl

Lina of Str8Up Show on KTN is getting Leaner!! Perhaps she is living up to her implied name: Lina-Leaner.

An eye for the Queer Guy

I’ve heard of a similar titled hit show in the US.

 We initially called these guys homosexuals, then gay and now queer. Perhaps next in line we’ll have strangers then finally the girl next door. I am not ashamed of being called a heterosexual. Why then is ‘homo’ offensive to most of these guys? Lesbians don’t complain when they are called, you guessed right, Lesbians!
