I have to admit I find it really hard to take Seun Kuti and his music seriously. I also have to admit its not easy being the son of Fela and the brother of Femi. The standards one is held to at that level has to be mind-bending...
I, however, respect his determination to remain relevant in the industry, churning out music after music [even though we don’t listen to them], his thirst for social consciousness, and his [inherited] fearless criticism of the establishment.
His new video titled IMF, which stands for ‘International Motherf***er’ [Not International Monetary Fund] takes a stab at the global financial body both lyrically and visually. The video looks like something I might like but it may be too early to say.
