It seems they won’t let this whole Artistes-DJs battle rest, at least not until they have added their voice. When we all thought the dust had finally settled and the case buried albeit unsettled, Don Mc Kapata has come out to reignite it.
As expected he sides with Bebe Cool, praising his unrelentingness in the struggle to put Ugandan music where it is now. However, his argument introduces a new dimension to this whole “djs not playing Ugandan music” thing. It actually might get you re-thinking whose side you are own. He made a rather shocking revelation — Djs ask for incentives to play music? Plainly put, he said; “It’s because they are very greedy… mbu give me some money to play your song.” This is rather painful to one’s ears knowing there is some talent rotting away somewhere because some DJ out there wants to be appeased before he can do his rightful job.
Here is the full post from Don Mc:
“Wen I looked at this pic I got too much hope..trust me this nigga has fought for his success. .alwaniridde music wa Uganda era akyalwaana..now wen I see ebiyenje ebimuvuma nseka nokuseka!!some of them werent even born at this time andotherds where 3 or 4 years..he has fought in that today omwaana akubayo onli one hit nagula emotoka oba nokuzimba nazimba..u have to show some respect for this man…I know olumu abanyiiza naye ate naye muntu..ova nga kumuntu eyatandika at that time naye ara nakulaga nti akyaliwo sibyangu….so ba dj abeepanka nti temukuba music wa Uganda bze its fake mbasekeredde coz not all the niger or jamaican music u play is good music…ate not all ugandan music is poor music..infact we have alot of good music…
Lwakuba mulina enjala nyingi..mbu mpayo akakaaga…mubeere serious kino ekintu kyamwe
2Bad mpaka last”
