Are Lilwin’s “Me Yare” & “Does I Care” videos the worst?
The two films were directed by Steve Gyamfi – the same director who shot his epic “Mama Boss Papa” music video.

To prove that he’s got the power to lead the ‘mainstream pack’, he dropped two new videos; “Me Yare” featuring Brong Ahafo rap champion Kooko and “Does I Care” featuring Ennwai of the defunct Dobble group.
As usual, he got the two videos in YouTube’s Trending vertical and it got a lot of people talking his art.
Most of the reviews on his YouTube channel are positive because of the entertaining nature of the videos but it seems viewers are missing the elements of good videos. Talking about the concept, storyline, costume, picture quality, angle shots, location, set design (if any) and choreography.

In terms of picture quality, Steve Gyamfi delivered the best but most of the elements mentioned above were missing in both videos.
For instance, the storyline of “Me Yare” (I’m Sick) depicts a mentally ill person who was going through his final examination to be discharged. Lilwin, who played the role of a psychologist examined Kooko, the patient. To find out whether Kooko is well or not, Lilwin offers him sugar cane, pawpaw, needle, motor grader, and a house. To Lilwin’s surprise, Kooko claimed he would eat all of them.
This concept is exactly our childhood fictional stories where people claimed before a mentally ill person will be released, he/she is offered the things mentioned above to find out whether they know the uses or not.
Per the concept of the song, the video had the wrong storyline.
“Does I Care” is another funny song with wrong video concept. The picture quality is on point as usual but the whole concept is contradictory.

In the video, Lilwin lives the life of a millionaire but chooses to have an uncivilised girl as his companion. Lilwin is a womaniser with 3 girlfriends but chose to add another one. The new girl sometimes acts funny and gets Lilwin’s other girls scold her. In the end, Lilwin was seen spraying money on her at a party.
So what was Lilwin trying to depict? The same old stories we’ve been hearing?
I think it’s time Lilwin up his game in the music business if he really means it. His videos are too comic to meet the standard.
Legendary Fella Kuti once said: “Music is spiritual, don’t play with it.”
