Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame has criticized Graphic Showbiz's recent list of Ghana's greatest rappers, questioning the criteria used.
Ranked third on the list, Okyeame Kwame expressed disbelief that EL, Edem, and Flowking Stone were omitted, suggesting the list lacked input from the rap community.
He challenged whether the rankings considered rhythmic African poetry, 'Africanness,' or popularity over lyrical skill.
The list, featuring Sarkodie at the top, sparked widespread media debate thirty years after hiplife's inception, a genre blending hip-hop with Ghanaian music.
Meanwhile, Okyeame Kwame has dropped a new music video for 'No Competition' featuring Kuami Eugene amid the ongoing discussion.
