Bull Dog
has
challenged
the
rationale
and logic
behind the
advice from
Mark
Okraku Mantey, Chief Executive of Slip
Music.
Mark advice was that, the only way
Shatta could last in the music industry
was for him to focus on sustaining his
career rather than making hit songs
which fade away in no time.
This advice to the newly crowned Artiste
of the Year,Shatta Wale, from the Music
producer Mark Okraku Mantey’s has not
gone down well with
Bull Dog, Shatta’s manager.According to
Bull Dog ,Okraku Mantey was in no
position to tell which artiste would last
and which one would not.
“Mark is not God. He cannot tell what
song will make it and what will not make
it. With his experience I’m hoping that
he will learn something about Shatta
Wale and not condemn him,” Bull Dog
stated.
According to Bull, the Artiste of the
Year winner at the just-ended Vodafone
Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) is one of
the very few musicians in Ghana who
give commentary about their life
experiences in their songs.
“I don’t agree with Okraku Mantey if he
says Shatta’s songs will not last. Look at
his songs, like ‘Bandana from Ghana’;
they are still being played and enjoyed
everywhere you go. Shatta Wale has a lot
of songs that are timeless. Songs that he
recorded about four years ago are still
lingering on. There are some songs that
were for six months and that is
business,” he added.
Bull Dog who admitted that Okraku
Mantey was one of his mentors in the
field of artiste management, urged him
to go beyond the Shatta Wale songs
being played on radio and do a thorough
research on the artiste before making
such baseless arguments.
