In the ongoing debate of who are the top 20\/50 best emcees, veteran producer, Hammer, says rapper Sarkodie should be made a course to study in schools.<\/p>\n
In an interview on Joy FM on Monday, the producer explained that Sarkodie has achieved something many Ghanaian musicians have not.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been number one consistently from day one up till now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s never compromised on his brand, never followed the hype, never did what was in the books and still survived. Basically, he has disrupted the industry and has become a special case,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
However, entertainment critic, Ola Michael says the educational curriculum cannot have Sarkodie as a course but some aspects of his life can be picked and targeted as a case study for some courses.<\/p>\n
There are parts of Sarkodie\u2019s career that can be studied in areas like Literature and Musicology, he told Jay Foley on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM.<\/p>\n
Ola Micheal stated that because of rap\u2019s \u201cviolent\u201d history, many educationists have been hesitant adding lyrics or pieces from rap songs.<\/p>\n
What many of them forget, according to him, is that rap has rhythm and deeper meanings behind the words that can also be studied like other literary works.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you take the beats out of Sarkodie or M.anifest\u2019s rap songs and write the lyrics down, you are reading poetry. That can be taken into the literature curriculum and have Sarkodie\u2019s songs studied as literary pieces,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Ola Michael added people who are studying brand and brand sustenance can also choose Sarkodie\u2019s style and how evolved his brand is, as a case study.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we cannot have Sarkodie as we know as an educational curriculum. Also, he cannot be in the curriculum for every stage,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
