Drogba and Essien rapping.....(official song)

[L.G.S]

I'm surprised I haven't seen people talking about this. It's out now (or soon, one of them) and it's funny and interesting lol.

(shudder) what crap. Drogba's releasing a hiphop album and they have him mumble the chorus in a monotone while some fat git tries in not to look like a total prat.

is this actually getting play in the U.K.?

[L.G.S]

Well it's for charity, so I guess we can let it off.

Don't think that qualifies as rapping for either Didi or Essien. But if this goes to a proper charity then good on them.

[KumarsS]

I thought this was brilliant, I don't know what you lot are talking about.

"My name is Didier Drogba. I was born in Africa."

Lyrical genius.

Is English Essien (and Ghana)'s first language? Pardon my ignorance.

[adri]

I believe so, he's born & raised in Accra, Ghana's capital.

EDIT: quote from Jose when Ess joined:

'It will be very easy for him to adapt. He speaks English as his mother tongue, he [also] speaks French
