CO –Z vs CHRISTOPH
This beefing thing between CO Z and CHRISTOPH is
childishness …. Emmanuel Y. Kortu/MR RAW
For the past few months there is noise
everywhere, Liberian Hip Co Music
followers are talking, talking and talking about CO-Z and CHRISTOPH, who is the
best? Who got Swagg? Who is the best in terms of lyrics? Some are even calling
for MC Battle between the two artistes.
Well as a
Radio Presenter and Blogger let me add my voice to this.
Beefing is a normal thing in the music game and it
is done for three reasons. 1) Artistes engage in beefing to gain media and the
audience attention. In this case they pretend to be at each other throat but
they both have agreed to do it just to gain Media attention
2) An artiste might engage in beefing to come
back in the game especially when he or she has been silent for a long time. So the
artiste look for another artiste who is still making hitz and then ride on that
artiste to rise up or gain fame. Here in Liberia we say you want make yourself
popular by putting mouth on me.
3) Artistes engage in beefing when they disagree or
have misunderstanding for money or woman/men, so the best way to express their
anger is through beefing. When an artiste is jealous of this friend work he
might do everything to bring him down. In Liberia we say so lay man getting too
popular more than me.
Having said that, I want to say that this beefing thing between CO Z and CHRISTOPH is
childishness, Liberia music industry is nowhere as compare to our neighbouring
countries. So I think the best thing to do is think about how we can make the
music industry grow. How much do Liberian musicians earn from their music? They perform for little or
nothing all in the name of the love of the game. All the musician in Liberia
cry for their music to play on Radio and I think is their right to do so but
you have to be very careful of the kind of words you put out.
Finally I want to call on the Musician Union of
Liberia to call these two Childish Artistes to order.
