Soundtrack to a Recession

It’s been remarked by many that songs like “whateva u like” and “pop champagne” are analogous to the times. In plain speak – shit don’t add up to how life is now. So let’s see what an appropriate tracklist for the recession would look like. Get your soulseek or itunes out - the list is below the photo. and oh i had to steal this photo from Marlowe williams - hilarious kinda things u see in ghana



1. Destiny’s child – bills bills bills [sing it to your bank account]
2. Koo nimo – ohia y3 ya
3. Mos def – there is a way
4. Wanlov the kubolor – choptime, [no friend]
5. Ebo Taylor – Wofa no nu [oto a ontua ka] - a.k.a “uncle buy-and-never-pay”
6. Mensa – when it rains it pours – [ especially when he says “I just lost my job// but my bills don’t know that”]
7. King Aysioba – My father – [ I remember he spoke about 20 thaasen cedis somewhere]
8. Biggie – everyday struggle
9. Lauryn hill – when it hurts so bad - [ could work after a hangover the day after a job loss]
10. Buju Banton- Destiny – [ in the end we’ll all find a way to control ours]
