Ghanaian rapper Patrick Gogoh who was known by his stage Chicago and has now rebranded him self as Tordia Tsikago has brought to the stand that, beefing as a musician is a lyrical culture for musicians in the industry.
He believes that, beefing in the rap music is a culture.Beefing lyrically is not about fighting physically with your fellow artist but rather fighting on the beat with lyrics, for the attention of the top artiste in the industry.
Speaking with Foster Romanus on e.TV Ghana’s Late Nite Celebrity show, he said, “when Shata Wale was taking over the music scene, he had to hit hard on Samini and Stonebwoy. That is the norm to make your fans and the music industry notice you”.
He again added that, beefing as a hip hop artiste is all about praising your self, “you say things to make your colleagues notice you and fear you as well”, he said.
According to him, beefing isn’t something that you take personal. If you believe you are better lyrically than your opponent, you prove it on the beat with lyrical punch lines not fist fighting.
Tordia Tsikago is known for songs such as, Noko Nfemi and Davi.
