1) STOP SHOOTING HIP-HOP VIDEOS
Why do Cameroonians rappers make an extra effort to look unkempt in their videos? Because they all smoke BANGA !!!
Is it that looking clean “n’est pas gangster”? or is it how untidy Bob Marley appeared in his videos that ‘s inspiring.
Thank God for MTVBase.
Instead of watching Saturday afternoon poorly done Ā TV shows aiming at encouraging untidy, mediocre artists with no sense of… aesthetics… I’ll rather watch Ice Prince and Mo’ Cheddah on MTVBase. I DON’T EVEN KNOW THEM. Atleast their videos encourage me to give their songs a listen.
The normal excuse will be lack of funds but,massa, even for comb ya hair boh?
Cameroonian hip-hop videos are a disgrace!
Please save Cameroonian hiphop; stop shooting videos..
Let’s stick to the makossa and Bikutsi videos.
SMH
See you next week.
so how about Luxland his don’t look like and he does hip hop and his is from cameroon
Luxland don’t look like that in his video and his from cameroon
who ever wrote this is not even qualified to make any critical analysis of anything.
If u tryin’ to save hip hop why dont u say things dat could me done to make videos better? Instead u say they should stop doing videos; aren’t u trying to kill it instead. People always have to start from somewhere young man.
The guy just sounds so childish and empty; almost sounds like a girl from Saker..
How do you let such people even get space on this site?
His language has UB written all over it. If this site hopes to ever attract any kind of large audience you guys need to put up stuff that other people outside of the little UB cocoon can relate to…
I agree somehow with what he’s saying butfor Christ’s sake take time to put down something constructive
What the f***k ??
i think what he said is rite but in a wrong constuction,it is not about ub or anything ,thats bs.cameroonian videos suck,we have passed that epoch of !everything has a begining,u can sit in a room and shoot a video and it comes out perfect,u dont need a studio,the problem here is grooming,hiphop is all about the glitz and glam,make us proud by shooting clean vids,this makes people want to invest into showbiz…..
@Chato are u a hip-hop performer?
No i’m not…I’m a student
@ Chato, you make some very valid points, the write up should have been more constructive, however you could have also been more positive in your commentary. You did not need to put down Saker girls or UB. As a grown professional woman from Saker, I find this offensive because a lot of positive and unchildish successes have come out of Saker Baptist College. Otherwise you were on point.

Those guys are doing their best.We ain’t got hip hop sponsors like in Naija or Ghana,sponsors still concentrate but on Makossa n Bikutsi.Wish the best to these young guys trying to push up our hip hop.Peace!
Damn! this guy just cut through like a blade! that’s the shit I love this and I think its time someone told these fool around people what it really is around here! We can do better but from where I see it now we ain’t trying to!
LOL! Chato I knew u wouldn’t escape Saker wrath š What I think Camer needs is creativity and originality. Even hair that is not combed can look cool. It’s all in the style. One of the biggest favours our young rappers can do themselves is to study the history of hip-hop. It’s more than music or gangsta swagger. Hip-hop is a sophisticated movement, rooted in African culture. Listen carefully, and you’ll see how people like K’Naan and Awadi pick up from the old school like Arrested Development and Grandmaster Flash. It’s a continuity thing,
de guys are doing what they can with the little they have, if sponsors blived nd invested more in young hip hop tallents then i think tracks from Buea will frequent MTV Base
non the less the guy was kinda truthfull but childish in his approach, even, Micheal Jackson startd 4rm some were…..
Did he say “100 WAYS TO SAVE CAMEROONIAN HIP-HOP?
But I can see just one. Where are the other 99?
Can I call dis lack of perception from his part?
Datz not ashy!!!!
