      Bazanye writes things, films things, records things and shares them in print and on the internets, blessing us with his creativity. Today, we will have kaboozi about the work he is up to and his thoughts on pretty much everything. Use the form at the bottom to join in the KB.

      It’s around 3 so I guess we can kick this off. @Baz should be in the building, if he hasn’t been delayed by the rain. Baz, say hello so I know I’m not speaking to myself.

      Since this is the first time we are doing this, let me explain how it’ll go. It’s like a tweet chat, but on Muwado and hopefully easier to follow. Anyone can ask a question and Baz will answer. Refresh page to see the latest. When he’s tired, since we didn’t agree on duration, he’ll notify and we all go on to kick off the weekend.

      Still lost? Watch and learn. Baz, say something.

      Ah. There you are. Now, since you mentioned Sckrrrrrapapap, what do you think of that Fire in the booth jam, and what it means for the future of hip-hop and music in general. Do you thin, whatever that category that falls in, is going to replace mumble rap?

      Next one, you have this hilarious comic (is that the right word) you do featuring a dog called Suki that’s savage af. How did that start? Where did you find that doll? What happens when someone steals it (God forbid)?

        Suki? Suki and I met on Jinja road and we just hit it off. Suki has a massive personality and we have plans, me and the rest of the staff (yes, Suki has staff) to make the Suki brand bigger. Trying to make it even worse, so to speak. I mean, we want this to be Uganda’s number one socialite.

        Mbu something happens to the doll? Are you making a threat?

          Ya, no threats from me. I remember the episode of the dude that kidnapped Suki and things went south. Not about to get into that drama.

          How about the other internet personalities you have created. I remember seeing an Anita. Is it just you being goofy and hopefully growing something yuuge in the process, or is there some deep examination of society you are communicating with all these characters?

      Hah hah hah! The future of hip hop music? Leave mumble rappers alone. You can’t knock the hustle.

      Big up my mans Shaq. Actually me and this young dude had an idea like that a while ago, but the time wasn’t right. We even shot a couple of videos, and I even wrote the song. Maybe we will revisit the project, now that the internet environment is more receptive.

      I think most people still majorly know you as the guy behind the bad idea column. But as the profile up there suggests, you have ventured into film even. What exciting things are you venturing into in that sector…

        Yes, I have begun a new career, and have been working with some really good filmographers and actors. I don’t know if you saw Caramel Ninja, which was how the actress Marie Corrazon first introduced me to the world of youtubers. Now I have quite a bit of material in the stable. A bit of just goofing around on facebook vids on my page, so far, but also on the way is a webseries/sitcom, about five vlogs featuring the most exciting Ugandan performers I have had the honour of working with, and in the long term, who knows. A movie?

          Are you saying there’s a little something lacking in his political persona? Have the years spent being a mubanda ruined him for politics?

      Gotta ask this since I’d taken some time without reading books and I’m renewing that passion with vigour. Any 2 or 3 recommendations of books you’ve read recently that I should totally check out?

        Get a kindle. They are better than books. You can get almost any book out there in a matter of seconds. And cheaper.

        If you miss the smell of paper, get an old dictionary and hold it next to your nose as you read.

      I’m not saying you are old, but you’ve been around for more years than me. Any particular moment(s) in your few years around you can look back at and say that impacted me in life-changing ways.

        You know the only people who thing being older is a diss? Young people. From this end we are proud of it. We don’t want to be called kids. Your pop culture overfetishised youth. Think of how long a successful life is. A hundred years? Okay. Until you are twenty, that doesn’t count. You are an egg.
        So from 20 to 30 you are young. For the remainder of your life you are old.
        So now ask yourself just how significant youth is in teh scheme of things.

        Hell, Beyonce is just getting started, and so am I.

        By the way, Bad Idea came out the same month as Beyonce’s first solo album.

      Speaking of Bad Idea, it’s been around for some time now. Has the column changed over the years in your opinion? Has it changed you. Constantly writing bad ideas for several years surely leaves you in a state where you observe the world in a certain way. I ask this because I remember reading from one of the guys that work at Cracked, I think, and he said he now see’s satirical headlines in everything and all conversations now.

        When it was just Bad Idea, that didn’t change anything. Writers are like that, I find, they look for stories all the time anyway.
        It’s this new project now. I am constantly constantly working. I am perpetually scripting things. I don’t even know how to relax and be a human any more.

        The destruction of the patriarchy is inevitable. Because it is becoming more evident, even to sexist males, that social equality is in all our best interests.
