Melokompa, let me get this straight so the only people who would use Black Alex simply for his skills as an artist is bands like Zenglen, Djakout and Nu Look BUT bands like CaRiMi, T-Vice, Sweet Micky, Kreyol La etc when they use an artist like Black Alex it is not because they want to add spice to their song or they actually think that Black Alex can be an asset to a song but it's because they want to show certain fans that have critiqued them in the past, that they are not bourgie bands but bands for all people and all social classes.

Gro that is not what he means. He means that group like Carimi/t-vice since he did not add Micky but which I am pretty sure just slip his mind are using Black Alex because he is black. So, whenever someone play the race card or bourgeois crowd against those groups, they (Carimi/t-vice and Micky) can say we did a song with Black and not to push their album. At least that how I read what he wrote.

In that case, Papillon used Black Alex to push his song (can't recall the name of it).

There is nothing wrong with Carimi trying to expand his demographic market using Black Alex. It's just the way they used him on the track that does not sit well with me. Also as Tilouj said, the race issue is coming out more and more nowadays. Using Black Alex might be there card when they get hit. I'm like Carimi, but I think they have better track than that one.

Piyo, I like the song eventhough I think it's a remix of Player. But I like it nonetheless. Black Alex was underused in the song. He only had two verses

I've listened to the song a couple of times just to make sure that my ears were not failing me and I have to say that this song is really subpar.

The song does not necesaarily have to bring something new to make it a hit (Are U ready brought nothing new but it is definetely a hit).
But this song sounds like something an up and coming band would come out with, not a veteran group like Carimi.

I've said it and I will say it again, these musicians really need to take some time off from performing to go into the studio and come out with something that is suitable to their talents.

I refuse to believe tha a band who has such talented lyricists such as Carlo, Richard and Glenny and this is what they can produce.

A Refaire.
Grade C-

And Please don't waste Black Alex's talent in such a way. If he had a really good agent, they never would have let him do this song.

Much love
Raymi.

LADYKREOYOL
You may not like what i said regarding Black Alex being used by carimi and T-vice for to expand their demographic market and appease critics, but it's the danm true and that does not mean that i'm closed minded. You acted suprised that Carimi and T-Vice are not viewed as the bourgeoisie crowd and collaborating with Black Alex is a way to prove otherwise. Exposing the true is not ignorance, but it's something that needs to be appreciated. So keep lying to yourself.
