what nonsense is this? This is not 1990s… boom bam beats are so 1996 because they’re so easy to rap too. He always chooses an easy way out.
Jones peak was here:
He should have never made any other video in kenya. The beats and cinematography is dope but nigga came back to do this:
Nigga doesn’t know how to outperform his last hits. The worst downgrade he did is after his sarkodie banger and came back to do this:
A song about alcohol, made in a quarry with Mejja. Mejja is a good artist but not an international artist.
Rip khaligraph Jones music career. His last good song was with sarkodie.
This is one of the worst songs he made.
Na hapa aliambiwa ukweli na this black american:
Well atleast alijenga na has other businesses because this nigga needed an honest manager to take him to greater heights. His manager is is fellow kayole alumni who will suck his D on everything he does. In Tanzania for example, the managers even prevent chibude from releasing songs- wanamuambia arudi studio. They know when and how to release songs.
Khaligraph hit his peak in 2018 hapo.. saa hii ako kazi ya kujitoa kwa game. At least he invested some money in real estate and seems to have a post-rapping career plan.
Compare na msee kama Mejja ama Scar.. hao wanaenda wapi?
hao ni pombe… mejja started a YT channel after being in the industry for over 20 years.. he didn’t have a FB account.. yaani jamaa ni pombe tu, no thinking outside the box. The consequences ya kushinda na mbogi ya mtaa. He should have capitalized on the sauti sol collabo. Change his environment. Jamaa ata shamba hana. This guy could be a multi millionaire but ni kurent tu mabedsitters
Mejja should seriously start having a plan. Musicians wa enzi zake saa hii are doing other things and do music as a part time job. He has to constantly make music to appease the younger folks ndo abaki biz but age is catching up to him.
He’s hitting 40. it’s a lack mentality. Jamaa ati hataki kujenga mansion ndio mbogi yake isiskie vibaya. That’s his mentality. Ati living humbly. Jamaa ati ananunua vitz ndio aresonate na mbogi ya majengo. Drinking cheap liqour na kushinda muguka mtaa ati ni mbogi yake. He couldn’t think if he lived life fully he could have also inspired them. He had the biggest chance to bounce back in corona time. His videos were hitting an M in two days. AngeInvest in a good cinematographer, director ( si yule analleta ati msee wa puppets. That video didn’t make sense). He was unable to overcome the majengo mentality while the others akina khaligraph fought tooth and nail to escape it.
Msee kama vybz anasema hawezi ata visit streets alilelewa because haimsaidii na anything but mejaa wants to dwell there
Mko na hasira na mejaa, his music has always been the same, sidhani kama itaenda international where kuna dollars
Victoria kimani aka Beyonce from TEMU, used to make stupid music but she earned a lot from it, sai bado she’s feeding from her music retirement benefits
only makes money through performances and endorsements. His streaming stats are very low for someone his caliber. Hata hao American reactors wamesema his choruses are very wanting.
My analysis is that most of these stars are from the hood/ocha so it’s hard to escape the mental lock hiyo background hukupa.
Used to dismiss it but the older I get the more I see how environment is so important in shaping how you think. Their thinking ends within certain spheres kaa huyo mejja u can pata he doesn’t really understand how mneti works so haoni maana take
Khali unacheki his creativity has remained stuck pale kwa twenging and trying to break into the Int’l game but you can tell something is lacking. His nemesis No8 is a better rapper juu he has range , sheng, swa, English, dholuo
khaligraph should have dropped the ‘jones’ part of his name. Khaligraph jones looks like a name we would call ourselves in high school. His twenging is also very cringe. Comes off as someone trying too hard but because there are too many low IQ bonobos in Kenya, he succeeded. However, he would never make it in America. I saw Steve Mcknight’s ( a very popular YT music reactor) reaction to his song and he was expecting something raw/African but was met with bonobos trying to rap like Black Americans.
Octopizzo is much more exposed and is willing to show diversity. Like this: This song, the message, cinematography, beat etc is better than anything Jones has produced in the last 5 years.
You’re right, Jones is still stuck in that phase of trying to impress bonobo listeners.
