Afrobeats singer Shallipopi has fired back at popular critic Daniel Regha after he criticized the artist’s latest album, Auracle.
Regha described the album as lacking lyrical growth, creativity, and substance, saying that while some beats are good, the tracks decline in quality as the album progresses.
He suggested that the project would have been better released as a shorter EP.
Despite the criticism, Regha acknowledged that the song Pull Up, featuring Pa Salieu, had a strong flow, though he rated the album overall very low.
He wrote: “Shallipopi can’t be considered a real artiste, just someone who has access to a studio; But he gets credit for putting his state on the map. His latest album “Auracle” is a painfu’ listen with no lyrical evolvement, substance, or creativity shown.
"Asides some good beats, each track gets progressively worse from the previous one. He should taken four or five tracks and call it an EP. The project will do numbers due to people’s taste in music nowadays, however no-one’s IQ will improve people’s taste in music nowadays, however no-one’s IQ will improve by such an album, nor can it be a cultural reset.
"That said, one song “Pull Up” has a good flow (lyrics aside), with Pa Salieu bringing the track to life. It’s a 1/10. No offense.”
Reacting, Shallipopi wrote: “SYBAU You know nothing about music.”
