#VGMA2016 :Here's what i think about Sarkodie's performance

Last night at the VGMAs, award winning rapper Sarkodie performed a couple of his songs on his hit album Mary. But before i continue with my submission, i would like to say that it was absolutely horrid of Sarkodie to not have personally accepted all three awards he won. I mean how long does it take for a man to get dressed? And his performance was hours away!! Now back to my submission, i admire Sarkodie a lot because of his achievements and i think his Mary album is absolutely awesome, but (you know something bad is coming when you see 'but) i have a huge problem with the rapper's performance last night. First, i need to ask 'is Sarkodie gradually quitting hardcore rap?' If that is so then Mark Okraku Mantey has been Vindicated because the Sarkodie we used to know isn't the same person right now. Now to the problem i have with his performance last night. Truth be told his 'MEWU' performance particularly was boring. Let's be real here, Sarkodie is not a soul singer so why was he even using a microphone stand? Plus why was the band playing at such a slow tempo? I do understand if you want to alter a few things here and there but that song is perfect at the original tempo and i don't know if many of you realized this but a greater section of the audience were sitting during Sarkodie's Performance with Akwaboah. The last subject i'll touch on is that the performance would have been more lively with a couple of traditional dancers like in the video because there is a bit of adowa in the beat. Like i said earlier i do admire Sarkodie a lot however, if he's contemplating quitting rap which has taken him to places, he should rethink because he's not a great singer but then overall it was an okay performance just that the mewu didn't thrill me, also his energy was kinda low last night.
