G-West’s lyrical prowess shines on "People Pleaser."

New Post has been published on https://plugzafrica.com/g-wests-lyrical-prowess-shines-on-people-pleaser/

G-West’s lyrical prowess shines on "People Pleaser."

George Kofi Mensah, known by his stage name G-West, is a Ghanaian singer, songwriter, and Afrobeat recording artist. He released his new single, “People Pleaser,” produced by Ghanaian Stallion, on Friday, March 15, 2024, sparking several conversations.

The song delves deeper into the dynamics of relationships. The powerful presence of the song’s muse in the chorus, “Girl, it’s pandemonium when you show your face, you’ve got too much sauce,” adds a layer of intensity and excitement to the romantic theme.

Additionally, the desire to whisk her away to Ibiza mentioned in the song speaks to the aspirational and escapist themes prevalent in contemporary music, suggesting a life of luxury and leisure that’s just a flight away.

People Pleaser – Cover Art

The song’s production by Ghanaian stallion deserves a nod. The beat is robust, melodic, and smooth, creating a soundscape that complements G-West’s soothing vocals without overpowering them. The rhythm of the song is very consistent with a hint of dancehall vibes that permeate modern Afrobeat, yet it maintains a freshness that keeps it on the cutting edge. G-West’s ability to blend languages and local idioms with global music trends showcases his artistry and commitment to promoting Ghanaian and African culture.

G-West

‘People Pleaser’ is a strong offering from G-West, showcasing his growth as an artist and his knack for creating tracks that resonate both locally and internationally. It’s a song that is sure to captivate audiences. G-West is signed to 610 Music, an American record label and distribution founded by Kofi Sonny.

The United Kingdom has returned 32 gold and silver treasures stolen from the Asante Kingdom more than 150 years ago in what is today’s Ghana on a six-year loan, Ghanaian negotiators have said. The artefacts, comprising 15 items from the British Museum and 17 from the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), were looted from the court of the Asante king during the turbulent 19th-century clashes between the British and the Asante people. Ghanaian authorities have for years tried to reclaim gold treasures looted by British soldiers from the Asante kingdom, which is also known as Ashanti.

[creatingblackcharacters]

not a question but a lil suggestion:

for african characters, their names are super important, because different cultures have different naming traditions that denote exactly where they're from, how their families feel about them, when they were born, ect. ect. and i feel that that part of Black characterization is kinda overlooked.

i see a lot of ambiguously Black characters, which is fine, but i feel like a part of drawing/writing diverse Black people is drawing/writing diverse Black cultures too.

for example, it wouldnt be too tough an ask to look for ghanaian girls names or sengalese boys names or whatnot, and i think that if you have an african character, deciding where they're from and their name can be a really good way to get to know them.

tribes are also an important thing to know as most african countries are composed of multiple tribes, and most people from those countries know what tribes theyre from (its actually a point of connection a lot like “you’re yoruba too? ayye!!” *daps*). tribes also dictate names, religions, features and builds (most of the soft features Black people can have come from the yoruba tribe in nigeria !!) — if you're a housa nigerian for example, you're more likely to be muslim, then say, an igbo nigerian.

one other thing is that if you're Black British, you're more likely to be african or caribbean, than if you're Black american, so that's probably something to take note of.

anyway i love your blog, its genuinely helped me so much <3

~malkolm :)

I've spoken about this too 😊 thank you for the advice! I'm glad the blog has helped you!

What a show! The Bridesmaids didn’t come to play! l 🇬🇭 Ghanaian Wedding between Emmanuel & Rubie

[queen-mabs-revenge]

for ted lasso fans who aren't football fans, the akufo league subplot was pretty directly inspired by the april 2021 announcement of a proposed european super league founded by 12 of the richest clubs in europe competing in a closed group against each other plus 8 other teams tba.

the enterprise was cancelled very quickly after its announcement, but the differences between how that played out in ted lasso and the story as it played out in real life are.....hmmmm interesting choices to say the least.

the esl wasn't proposed by a cartoonishly villainous ghanaian billionaire. it was launched by a c-suite of white european and united states billionaire businessmen/team owners. - real madrid president florentino pérez spearheaded the proposal and claimed CEO position with andrea agnelli (owner of juventus), joel glazer (owner of man u), john henry (owner of liverpool), and stan kroenke (owner of arsenal) making up the rest of the proposed executive board. -these five are worth $2.3B, $13.5B (agnelli family), $4.8 (glazer family), $4B, and $12.9B, for a total of 37.5 billion dollars.

the esl proposal was formally announced on 18 april 2021 and by 21 april all 6 epl founding clubs had publicly announced their planned withdrawal from the league. this wasn't because of a rich white lady giving a heartwarming speech to a room of other rich people, it was because of a mass movement of working class fans denouncing the move as the capitalist greed and exploitation that it was, with some calling for fan ownership of clubs entirely:

i get using real events as inspiration and adapting them to fit a narrative purpose within the story, but i think it's worth it to know what the story line was based on, especially considering the specific racial and class changes that were made reframing the villains and heroes of this particular story.

[variousqueerthings]

rupert and the way he wooed rebecca, until he obsessively tried to destroy her utterly

the ghanaian billionaire edwin akufo who wooed sam, until the moment sam turned him down, when he started screaming threats at him

jack wooing keeley, until keeley refuses to conform to her image, when she coldly slut-shames her

rupert of course also wooing nate, up until (we know it'll happen) he fucks up, when we know he'll turn on him

... definitely a through-line of the very rich and the way they treat people around them, in all types of relationships

-armin was literally his get out of jail free card because of his stellar reputation in academics

-he always gets free stuff from the corner shop or the chicken and chip shop

-doesn’t own a car, he either bikes or takes the tube because he cares about the environment and doesn’t want to add onto the extra pollution in london

-his dress sense is very casual like a t shirt, a pair of loose fitted trousers and some trainers but when he cant be bothered he’ll wear a tech fleece

-he has a very good sense of direction, like he knows the fastest routes for anything, like when eren and connie dragged him to carni (if you went this year im saur jealous 😩 but anyways) and it was time to get home armin found a quicker route that got them back pretty fast

-knows all the best secret spots in london for anything! which makes hanging out with him more fun because you experience a new part of london when you’re together

-he isnt a fan of eren’s scamming ways but when eren asks for help he always answers as long as he’s not a part of it

-reads so much, you’ll catch him at hyde park or greenwich park reading till the sun sets

-he smokes cigarettes but he’s trying to cut it out for you

-his playlist would be very diverse since he’s been brought up in a multicultural area, like it would go from bashment, to rnb, drill to pop

-ony can cook and im being for real, so you guys never eat out unless ony wants to show you to a new niche restaurant somewhere

-he has snap but doesn’t have a bitmoji because he thinks it’s immature 😕 but eventually he caves and makes one because you ask him too

[strawb3rrysunda3]

not mine but pissed me off so much THE MAN IS NOT A BASIC BITCH

Also KFC?! SERIOUSLY OH MY GOD 💀

"the classics"

Aka

"I refuse to study this character there fore I will go off of basic stereotypical answers that may or may not be racist." YOU BASIC BITCH

Gaz my love my sweetie you deserve so much more that fucking KFC and McDonald's also I'm sure your pancakes are top tier, we need more than this though

Also... white monster... I'm taking that how I am rn hold on **WHITE** monster yeah ok-

Ok for y'all who want a real answer let's do some research TOGETHER.

Gaz is very quick on his feet as in his wiki for MW he completed his training course in 19 seconds! He's also very chill and extremely funny based off the dialogue in MW2 with lazwell and price, he's very dedicated and does research. He's a smart cookie 😊 he got along with Alejandro and Rudy so I say he's very much an extrovert/ people guy since everyone he's met LOVES HIM. So I'd say he's a fan of group meals, loves eating with about anyone he knows especially soap and price since he's gotten along with them for awhile. He's also feisty so he also probably eats quickly too as the military is always on the move so that's kinda obvious. For favorite foods I've done some research

Gaz was born and raised in London England and his parents are of Ghanaian decent wow! So doing some research on the foods I tried to find as home made as possible cause I'm sure England doesn't have a lot of foods from that culture so ive decided his favorite food is drum roll please!

Boiled yam or plantain with Kontomire stew! It looks soo good oh my god- with koobi fish and smoked macarel since London is literally an island their fish varatey is up there! So most of the ingredients are easy finds or can be grown to be made. Which makes an easy yet cultural home made dish that I think suits him very well with his high metabolism.

Do your research so I don't have to clean up your mess 🫶
