Ghanaian rapper Desmond Blackmore, known in showbiz as D-Black, has asked people not to compare him to other rappers.<\/p>\n

According to him, he is not a lyricist like Sarkodie so he entreats people not to lump him up in the same league with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a lyricist. I\u2019m not an MC. Don\u2019t compare me to Sarkodie. I don\u2019t do what they do. \u00a0Sarkodie is an amazing lyricist. Me, I\u2019m a business man. I\u2019m an entertainer. I make music, you dance to it and I get paid for it and I am happy for that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also said in the interview with Delay on GH One TV that music has now gone beyond only talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gone to the BETs, I\u2019ve won Channel O\u2019s, I\u2019ve been nominated Best Rapper in Africa. The music industry is not about talent anymore. It\u2019s also about the material you put out there. It\u2019s also about your brand. It\u2019s also about the music you put out and I am a combination of all these,\u201d he D-Black added.<\/p>\n

D-Black has been mocked by Wanluv, DJ Black and other entertainment critics as one of the worst rappers in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Since he started doing music 7 years ago, he has released songs like \u2018Move,\u2019 \u2018Breathe,\u2019 \u2018Somebody,\u2019 \u2018Vera,\u2019 \u2018Personal Person\u2019 and \u2018Kotomashi.\u2019<\/p>\n
