Bebe Cool has taken it to facebook, once again, this time around producing a list of those he termed as greatest Ugandan artistes with note worthy contribution to the music sector and the country in general.
Trust the Talent XP judge’s critical eye, he mentioned Bobi Wine, Chameleone, among other greats, omitting the Goodlife boys who according to him are “among the others with hits but no contribution to the industry and will be replaced when dead”.
“The #SamsungTwitterParty is back! Get ready to party the night away come 19th December at Zone 7 with fellow tweeps. Entrance is 15,000shs. Call 0775439894 for details. Great music and drinks.”
Here is what he posted:
“MUSICIANS OF MY TIMES THAT UGANDA MUST RESPECT N NEVER TO FORGET COZ THEY R IREPLACABLE. BEBE COOL,JULIANA,I
RYN NAMUBIRU,JOSE CHAMELION,CHIZZO,KUKLEE,MICO CRISS,LUTHER T,RAGGA D,RAGGA BOYZ,KATUMWA,NANDUJJA,MENTON SUMMER,ORLANDO,STEVE JEAN,MOLA MESSE,SHANKS VIVI D,FRED SEBATTA,PAUL KAFERO,BOBI WINE,AFRIGO BAND,SIMBA SOUND BAND OF SENKEBEGYE FAMILY,FILLY BONGOLE LUTAYA,JIMMY KATUMBA,ELLY WAMALA,EAGLES PRODUCTION. NOTE, there is a difference in being known as a singer without major contribution to Uganda n contribution to Ugandan music industry.REMEMBER,u can be a hit singer but what’s yo contribution to the state of Uganda or the music industry of Uganda????i hope these n any other that I dint mention but belongs to this grup,can be replaced when dead…”
The list ommits rappers and the entire hip hop community, Goodlife, Maurice Kirya among others but includes little known Chizzo and Myco Chris. This post is bound to go viral.

“We might say the abscence of PAM AWARDS has taken a toll on Bebe Cool as he takes personal duty to honour.”
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
