CABU GAH DIARIES: Of Papa Dennis,Prezzo,Baby One and Others….Flashy Music Videos DO NOT Mean You’ve Got Talent. No. Money Or Not,You’re Still A Flat,Talentless Slob.

There is this kid “causing ripples” in the Gospel Music Industry. With his hired Lamborghinis and exotic sceneries in his music video. And then there is this other one in the secular industry… With his OWN Lamborghinis and Chryslers and Ferraris. One is Papa Dennis. The other is Baby One.

 I have some beef with primarily these two “artists”. But the beef extends to all these other good-for-nothing untalented profligates who think that,just because they can bamboozle the masses with an assembly of the flashiest cars and most bedazzling models in their “Music Videos” then they are musicians. NONSENSE.

The trend was started by the self-ordained King of Bling,Prezzo,who,way back in 2004,shook the feeble Kenyan Showbiz Industry by not only churning out the most meretricious music videos but also landing at a Teens Awards Ceremony in a hired chopper that cost him close to 100k for a 7-minute flight.

By that simple act of buffoonery and flashy ostentatiousness,Prezzo fooled the masses and duped the industry players that he actually HAD musical talent when all he had was improvident monkey tricks fueled by his moneyed mother and family businesses.

Prezzo NEVER had talent. Prezzo was NEVER a rapper…Or a songwriter. Or a singer. Or whatever he thinks he is/was.

He was simply a rich kid who,just because he had unfettered access to his family’s bottomless money pit,decided to plunge into the “Music Industry” in an attempt to further bloat his ego and command the whole industry.

His rap songs were worse than the sounds of a groaning pig. And his lyrical skills couldn’t rival a Class 4 Adventure composition.

He couldn’t rap. Or sing. Or write. Or anything. Infact,all he did was repeat the yawnsome line,”Nawapenda Wo” or the tired refrain “P-R-E-Z-Z-O” and boom!!! A star was born!

A fabulously wealthy star. But a hopelessly untalented one at that.

And with the advent of The Christ,Prezzo,along came others….two of whom I shall attempt to address.

One is this Papa Dennis kid with a pity story and an even pitier height.

According to his very media-savvy handlers,Papa Dennis is a former IDP who was “rescued” from the calamities of the tough IDP life to the grandeur of the glorious showbiz stardom.

Well,Papa Dennis’ story,if true,is inspiring and touching. We all love a good story.

The problem, however,set in when his handlers/managers/whatever encouraged him to start a music career. And,nudging him even further,promised to finance it to the last drop.

And by that simple act of lack of judgement and honesty,Papa Dennis started a music career.

A disastrous music career. I mean,let’s face it,Papa Dennis CAN’T sing. He never will. And never could.

But because he is supported and financed by a wealthy honcho,Sadat Muhindi,then,well,he is “talented”.

Papa Dennis’ music videos are filled with the loudest and most attention-grabbing statements of wealth and cash ever seen in a video. They are flashy as hell…Featuring the sleekest cars,best sceneries,most gorgeous women and grandest locations.

And,for 3 times now,Papa Dennis has shot his ostentatious music videos at exotic South African locations….spending millions on Lamborghinis and Ferraris and Bentleys. Ulalaaa,Behold,Tha Boss is here.

A Papa Dennis music video is almost exactly the same as that of say,Rick Ross,Meek Mill or DJ Khaled.

But just like DJ Khaleed,Papa Dennis is a talentless joke who,all he does in a song is yap and yodell and grumble and croak and grunt like a raccoon. As is evident in this song HERE.

I know village drunkards who can sing better than Papa Dennis. But Hey,He’s a fabulously wealthy individual …With deep pockets and endless supply of thousands of dollars to burn! Voila! He’s “Talented!”

Second case study is the egocentric Sudanese Playboy, Baby One Superstar. Baby One is Kenya’s Dan Bilzerian. He’s richer than a tiny countries’ President. And flashier than the whole Young Money Cash Money crew combined.

Baby One for money. Real,hard,cold money. He could finance Your existence. And those of 6 of Your favorite siblings.

What Mr.Showbiz lacks,however,is talent.

You should watch Baby One’s “Music Videos” and see the high-end cars,women,locations, bikes,bikini-clad bombshells,yatches and hotels he flaunts in the videos.

Baby One spends millions and millions on music videos. But still has the talent of a dying goat at a slaughterhouse. Brother is a pathetic rapper/singer. As You can hear from this song HERE. Or this other one HERE.

And his every attempt at doing music is a painful,fruitless,useless and unlawful attempt on the poor lives of innocent listeners.

But just because he is rich and unbelievably wealthy,well,he is “TALENTED”. NONSENSE!

Not every rich kid can sing! Or rap! Stop assaulting us with Your good-for-nothing “songs”,Your crappy lyrics,lame choruses and deplorable verses.

We appreciate Your deep pockets…Or fat wallets. But we ain’t got nothin’ to do with Your dry throats.

And if You ain’t got nuthin’ meaningful to do with Your thousands of dollars,here’s my favorite charity Plan Canada Kenya. Donate some of that cash to these kids. They need it more than we need Your music. Especially over this December Holiday.

Money doesn’t equal talent. Talent equals talent.

I am sooooooo sick right now!
