Someway Bi rapper, M.anifest went on a twitter rant to register his disappointment in Ghana's media promoting foreign artists ahead of Ghanaian talents. The rapper, preparing to release his next album wrote; �Yesterday, whilst driving, I heard a jingle on radio advertising a show to reward the best Bob Marley impersonator in Ghana. Disappointing.� �Sometimes it feels as if Ghanaians want to be everyone, but ourselves.� The rapper in another tweet commented on Kendrick Lamar�s Pimp A Butterfly album that dropped earlier this week. �I always know I'm going to like an album when casual listeners call it trash. I remember when the Love Below dropped. Same thing.� �Was listening to Kendrick's album early in the am today. 3x. Brilliant artist. Dope music. Provocative. That mofo is bold!� �I'm a sucker for music with vibes, that's generous with truth, and has high replay value.� He took a swipe at artists who compiled their hit singles and presented them as albums. �But in Africa the concept of making albums was murdered a little while back. Make singles. Put them together. More like compilations.� �Brymo one of the few still making albums on this side. 2 criminally slept on albums. Asa obviously, but that one dey different boat inside.� �When the tastemakers have bad taste.� �When they want to silence reason and unflinching believe in us being able to be greater they'll say "you dey rush," "you be too known," etc.� �No chill. I'm even tempted to announce the title of my next album this morning. But make I apply the brakes small.�
