A few minutes after Nana Dubwise, one of Ghana’s top 5
selectors, announced on his facebook timeline that Elephant Man and Alkaline
would be performing in the country on 4th March, Ras Aswad instantly
met the announcement with a wrathful objection which was particularly directed
at Alkaline. Dubwise’s comment thread wasn’t alone, Black Authority fierily seconded
Ras Aswad’sobjection on another social media platform asking the government of
Ghana to ban Akaline’s coming.
Ras Aswad is a devout Pan African who advocates
afro-centrism, Black Supremacy and African cultural-worth. He expressly bases his
objection to Alkaline’s presence in Ghana on the artiste’s excessive body
scarring, corrupt musical message and his unwholesome influence on the younger
black population.
The common inference derived from the statements of Ghana’s
fore front reggae musicians prove that they strongly consider Alkaline as a brainwashed
agent of the capitalist demonic agenda which is to create mass inferiority
complex in black children. To them, Alkaline is a misguided youth whose
artistic brand and anti-uplifting message can cause mental decadence among black
teenage populations.
Mutabaruka also made a statement this past Saturday at the Aburi Gardens, Ghana, which implies that he's not in support of Alkaline's visit, because it neither will push the Black Supremacy advocacy forward nor impact the Ghanaian teen population positively.
Ras Aswad and other like-minded rastas are still clamouring for a mass objection to Alkline's possible presence in the country.
1.Who is bringing this bleacher and misguided youth here to further corrupt the minds of young people in Africa? what is the mission and agenda of those behind this move? who are they working for? Ghana is already in a bad state of inferiority complex by WHITE JESUS invasion and inflicted by the IMF, GMO, EBOLA, EPA Etc. Now we are going to add Alkaline to IGNORANTLY be an agent of self inflicted destruction to also carry out the agenda of white supremacy, THROUGH CULTURAL IMPERIALISM? The Rastafari , Christian, Muslim and Pan-African community should boycott it and the Government should ban Alkaline from coming to Ghana if we have any moral integrity. Just like the Batty man dem ban our conscious artist from touring. Death Before dishonor!! RAS ASWAD
2. I was also impressed with
some of his songs but when i started to research on him i realized that he was
nothing but a misguided youth, who Babylon is using to bleach OUT their black
beautiful melanin skin. Talented youth, i love his vibes but hate the message
and the work he is doing for the imperialist demonic forces against African
people. Wi nuh compromise!! nor bow!!
3. They better wake up and
face the real world and leave Hollywood alone! THEY MUST CHECK AND SEE WHAT
THIS DEMONIC NEGATIVE LEVEL OF DANCEHALL MUSIC HAVE DONE TO JAMAICANS AND
JAMAICA. FIRE FI ALKALINE MISDIRECTION AGENDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Up above are Ras Aswad’ three
strong protest statements, directly aimed at Alkaline without euphemisms. He angrily beat the
bush head-on with a fiery wrath.
#PulseTurnUp Concert, the event in question, [which will
take place at the Accra Sports stadium on 4th March is being
organized by Fantasy Entertainment with massive sponsorship from MTN (Ghana’s
biggest telecommunication company) and supported by Turkish Airlines, Midland
Savings& Loans, Hitz fm, TV3, 4Syte TV and ToonToom], is coming off in
honour of Ghana’s 59th independence celebration.
The alias theme given to #PulseTurnUp is “Ghana Meets
Jamaica”, as it brings Jamaica’s Elephnat Man, Alkaline and Kranium on stage
with Ghana’s Samini, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy in a somewhat stage clash performance where Elephant Man clashes with
Samini, Alkaline with Shatta Wale, Kranium with Stonebwoy.
The next two artistes officially announced to be
supporting the above six clashing artistes are Kaakie and MzVee, both Ghanaian
females.
Another very disturbing fan resentment revolving around
the #PulseTurnUp artiste bill is the enlistment of MzVee, whom the country’s reggae-dancehall
fans hardly consider a pure reggae-dancehall artitse. They say the event isn’t of
her elective genre, so she’s not qualified to be on the bill, even as #PulseTurnUp
is branded a reggae-dancehall rave. As to which other pure female dancehall
artistes should have been enlisted in addition to Kaakie, popular suggestions
are AK Songtress, Denora, Sheege Styla, Renner, Nyamekye, and Empress Bubble. Mappy
is omitted on the suggestion list because she’s currently in Amsterdam
furthering her education.
Biggest Boss, Ghana’s second best reggae-dancehall
promoter, also resents the omission of incoming artistes on the event’s bill.
He’s of the view that incoming artistes shouldn’t be omitted at big events, but
should rather be offered such platforms to showcase their young talents. He
strongly objects to MzVee’s enlistement and perhaps frowns on Kaakie’s.
Between now and February 15, ticket to the event is being
sold at 20 cedis via the dedicated MTN mobile service short code *777#. The
cost will be shot up to 50 cedis after February 15. So far, 13play.net isn’t
aware of the ticket denominations, but we infer some VIP invitations are being
circulated to a select few or some special Fantasy Entertainment contacts.

I support the sentiments raised against Alkaline and the fact that young talents were not billed to showcase their hidden talents....But I also strongly believe that On that night lot of this guys will be allowed to bless the stage as this idcwhst usually happens even with the gettoh show not all artist who will be performing will be on the flyers
