Someone joked that
Jayz’ lips are bigger than Solange’s career. We don’t stop at being mean, we
find the fun in it to seal off a double diss. Families fight, we get it, but
you are Jayz, you are supposed to invincible at least when it comes to women
problems. Might I give props to that guy though. Unlike your proverbial African
man Chris Brown who beat up Rihanna, Jayz allowed to be on the receiving end of
the stilettos and fake nails. If perversion would allow the soliloquy I dare
say that there is something insanely romantic about a little girl fighting, no; beating up a man
old enough to be her father. At least Jayz manned
up and did not pull her ear Kikiga
style. Maybe the whole circus stemmed from a pint one too many. Again twitter will not allow
you such a luxury if you are a celeb n perhaps it could help Solange churn out
a few tracks of her own. It works, ask Selena Gomez!!
My dear Ugandan
forever upcoming artists, it might be really hard for you to know when to get
your legal paper work in place but you must admit that no matter how many
charts you are topping, and how many awards you are winning (read nominated
for), there has to be a you in the black and white of the local authorities.
Short of this, you will have collabos with Red/ Green Banton, King Stephen
(read Kidd Foxx), Chance Nalubega (I will not mention Pallaso because you know
where that has got us) and still fend off the next album launch.
Maybe you succeeded
in severing Weasel from Chameleon and that perhaps sold for a while, but it
looks like that beef is beyond the bridge. So what happens if Jeff has all the
reptile family under his belt, unless you are saying that Weasel is not a cry
baby and will give up the family reunion for you.
The challenge is that
Jeff doesn’t need a hit, he never, has, all he needs is a cut on your cheque
and if that slackens, he could use a few pennies going around from Sheba, the official
UPDF gun and artists with even more telling nomenclature and believe me they
are glad to share, for now at least.
(not that kool kool bar/ice cream will get a BET nod riyally). I feel for Weasel though, while his talent is not questioned at this point, it
is the package that has sold and not really the solo effort. We have seen
unsuccessful replicas of that recipe but once you have it with us, you gotta go
for it because we cannot have it another way.
Mr. Radio, you have
the singing talent, but Jeff has the business acumen and whereas the cameras
might rank one above the other, the balance sheet has its scale too. You can
drop off the charts like a torrent but you can hardly convert that miraculous
descent to your cheque book. If you doubt me, try Telex Free.
I almost thought that
it was the fame that had got into Mowzey’s head but the Police seem to have
more empirical deductions to the drunken formula. You do not need to be a
lawyer to realize that when you are arrested and released to go and seek
medical attention, you need to head to the hospital and perhaps find every
reason to stay there if for anything you have to succeed at playing the victim.
Unless of course you are Bad Black but that doesn’t work for the long term coz
chances are that you will bleach some more, hammer your nose, take selfies in
Rwanda and Instagram them to Kaihura!
As a fresh start, you
could do a Drunk in Love with your
Coke studio friend. Not all is lost yet, I hope. Use the talents but don’t be
too drunk in love to clarify the business end. There is no Radio and Weasel without
any Cassette (read Radio). Goodlyfe would sell better with Radio, but the
scales tip lower for the biggest talent on the table.
Just make up and you
could perform at Kim Kardashian’s next wedding in a few years’ time, if the
stats are anything to go by. Make some music, otherwise it is a de ja vu of once
upon a time Eagles Production, Fire Base Historicals and oba Diamonds
Production, I won’t say Leone Island because the only islander still holds his
turf. Gutters of one hit wonders and forever upcoming artists are not nice don’t
dare come back to this planet. I suggest you take a few from Qute Kaye, Lady Mariam
(read Tindatine), Emporer O…(Nuff sed).
