Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
According to Mr. Logic, Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie would have delivered his line more forcefully if given the once-in-a-lifetime chance to do so on Bob Marley and The Wailers’ timeless love song “Stir It Up.”
It was an honor for the rapper to be chosen to perform the 1967 song “Stir It Up,” which iconic reggae artist Bob Marley composed for his wife Rita.
However, according to Mr. Logic, a talent manager who also plays music, “there is nothing exceptional” about the song, and he adds that it lacks the African touch that would have greatly enhanced its appeal.
In his submission on United Showbiz hosted by Abeiku Santana on January 28, 2023, he explained: “You don’t feel Sark’s presence so much because you cannot feel the African vibe but the normal Ghanaian will say it doesn’t matter.
The re-make of ‘Stir It Up’ was released on Friday, January 20, 2023.
According to Sarkodie, this is “definitely one of the highest moments in my career/life…such a blessing to lay my vocals right next to the original vocals of the Gong,” parts of a post made by Bob Marley’s Instagram page read.
But Mr Logic is of the view that “If Sark was able to command the production and had said that he is a Ghanaian known for his Twi rap and this is how our progressions go. I want the song to be made to feel more African and Ghanaian for me, then you would have said that it sounds different.”
He added: “You would have had a rendition. Now, what you have is a refix aside the buzz of it being Bob Marley, there is nothing extra about it.”
