CAMP MULLAH. HIGHLY OVERRATED

OK. so i might have stalled abit on this piece on Camp mullah am doing. But i actually thought i was going to enjoy writing this article. Truth be told, i immediately started getting migraines after listening to their album. OK, so the track This party don't stop became a club anthem and an instant hit. Plus their videos are on point. I have to say this, ALL THEIR SONG SOUND THE SAME. It was such a disappointment. First with their fake accents and fake weaves (that skinny chic who sings the chorus and obviously has an eating disorder) then to their obvious lack of originality. Remixing others peoples music. Cmon guys. Paree can only be a paree with P Unit. They are the only artists dumb enough to believe that song was actually a hit. So please, do yourself a big favor. 


1. stop doing other peoples songs
2.Be versatile. The whole acoustic urban rap shit is getting really old
3.loose the guy with the specs. i don't get why he is in the group. yet he never sings. who is he anyway?
4. feed the chic. or don't put her in videos. looking at her makes me wanna throw an angry bird at her
5.Loose the fake accents. I feel like am listening to Shaka Zulu


Some of you might think that am just targeting Camp Mullah for my own personal reasons but am actually doing the opposite. You see, i can clearly see these guys have ambition. They wanna go far. They wanna be international artistes who are known worldwide. Thing is, they are going about it the wrong way. Pretending to be something you clearly are not wont give you recognition. And if it will, then maybe for the wrong reasons. Why put white chics in the video and black ones at the back? Talking with a voice that isnt yours and doing everything to dissociate yourselves from your people. Look at all the African artistes that have made it internationally. Just look at how well they represent their country. What kind of message is Camp Mullah sending out to the youth? That you have to be in a certain image in order to be accepted in the society? And what kind of image are they trying to endorse?
