FLOW 101

After every foyr bars he switches the flow and Rhyme pattern. People dey fit say this guy no deu rap.










When M.anifest dropped GodMC in 2016, sports shows, political talk shows, news, were addressing it before their broadcasts even began. Peace FM, Kokrookoo, and Kwan So Brɛbrɛw all weighed in. Do you understand what it means for a rap song to command that kind of attention on Peace FM? GodMC moved the rap dissection conversation out of our hostels, dormitories, and barbershops and into the public square. When M.anifest released GodMC, if not the most lyrically dense, unapologetic statements Ghana rap had ever heard, openly challenging the entire pecking order of rappers and the status quo of the rap scene, with lines like "We some intelligent niggas that cannot dumb it down", He was indeed not dumbing it down. He wasn't chasing the charts and awards (Though it won him one). He was planting a flag. The song forced a real conversation. Conversation about who is actually the best rapper in Ghana? What does lyricism mean in our context? Does complexity count if the masses don't connect with it, Does it have to be dumbed down before they can connect to it? These were debates we had been having quietly in hostels, dormitories, and in our friendship squares but GodMC dragged them into the open. GodMC wasn't just a rap song. It was a referendum on Ghanaian hip-hop itself. GodMC moved the rap dissection conversation out of our hostels and dormitories and into the public square. It changed how the average rapper listened to rap, made the conversation open source for everyone to contribute.
