SORTER: Why raining Abuse N Insult on this fellow Now?....Kai this kind of Manner shows little or no Parental Love towards U at all.... Morons like U even hit D like buttonJuju music has been popular among Yoruba musicians, and has been sung by people like Ayinde Bakare, I K Dairo, S F Olowookere, etc; would say none of them was good enough to have been crowned king, even I K Dairo that was given the title of Member of the British Empire (MBE) by Queen Elizabeth? I ask this question because these men were alive when KSA was crowned. What you say if tomorrow, say, the Ooni, Awujale, Soun, Olubadan, or Alake crowns another musician. |

This one don enter market finish On topic the two are masters In terms of global appeal seems ksa has it but I think obey has it with the older generation But I know more ksa songs Will try and get some obey songs Anyone has a download link to their works |

kq: yes KSA is commercial but it will be a huge lie to say he has no lyrical or local content. My question is do you listen to the wordings or lyrics of his songs at all? I feel your analysis bro Sunny lo lori tuntun ema fi retirement fi sunny omo alade mo |

damoskiy: I have listened to both of them live on stage.would prefer obey to sunny .Obey has this command on stage.both the young and old dance to his music.sunny majorly is for the older generation.sunny is kind of arrogant.if you don't play well on stage with him.he could collect the instrument from you and play it himself.obey on the other hand would tell you to play on a certain key ad would just correct you.my five cent. You don't know what you are talking about. Obey does not have stage craft at all. He stands on one spot and sing, Sunny on other hand can beat any musician on stage, even D'Banj and Tuface with all their youthfulness cannot stand Sunny Ade's energy on stage. Get you fact right pls. |
Re: Sunny Ade Vs Ebenezer Obey: Who Do You Prefer? by Smooyis(m): 10:23am On Apr 13, 2013 |
Obey is gud KSA is gud. KSA music is fast tempo, danceable, and good for lovers of jazz because of its dexterity in Guitar, piano etc. Obey music is loved by the elders because of its philosophical depth and spirituality, while the youths love the fast tempo KSA music. For me i love both. 1 Like |

My Brother! dont mind shadraccch<, he doesnt know anything about Juju music, Im a Juju highlife musician with 3 Albums to my credit. Obey's music is more melodious than that of king sunny Ade! forget about the issue of kingship by Alafin of oyo! He purposefully gave the crown to king sunny Ade because of his linage praises that sunny ade sang, Alaafin knows nothing about musik. Moreover go and listen to some musician that are obeys product like Uncle lai Addis if not for Lai Addis, Yinka ayefele wouldn't have been a famous musician because Lai Addis composes all Ayefeles musik. Bros OBEY IS A TALENTED MUSICIAN! mikeapollo: |

Tony Spike: My Kenyan friend heard Ebenezer Obey's song, "Mo f'oro mi le e lowo", just ONCE and he started begging for it. I think Obey's music is more African in beat and rhythm, it captures the soul of African music of his time and even in these modern days. It appeals to Africans who love the excessive use of traditional drums and guitars, irrespective of the inherent language barrier. Sunny Ade, on the other hand, "adjusted" his music to suite international appeal with the use of techno and pop beats. To me, Sunny Ade is a somewhat a traitor to "proper" Yoruba and African music. He adjusted his music to conform to international (actually American and Eurocentric) appeal, no wonder he is known. On the philosophical and logical flow of music story, Obey beats Sunny hands down. Generally, Sunny is mainly a praise singer while Obey is a story teller...when u talk about diversity, its sunny not som1 dat sits in a corner of his rum dat does d same tin, d same way ova and ova again. Dere's no crime in takin d yoruba culture 2 d limelight |

Ebenezer Obey is like Nas of High life music, while Sunny Ade is like Biggie of Juju music. I prefer Obey, he's highly poetic than the latter! |

victorv12: Ebenezer Obey is like Nas of High life music, while Sunny Ade is like Biggie of Juju music. I prefer Obey, he's highly poetic than the latter! Disagree! You need to listen older LPs to appreciate Sunny's genius in this regard. Take this one for example, although not quite an old one but for me, only a genius can make the lyrics here work. I break out in goose pimples every time I listen to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2xHsqlko-c |
Re: Sunny Ade Vs Ebenezer Obey: Who Do You Prefer? by Nobody: 10:38pm On Apr 13, 2013 |
And it is absolutely ridiculous that most posters on this thread accuse Sunny of praise singing when Obey's greatest hit is 'Board Members'. That LP was praise singing from the beginning to the end. I don't like it when people pit two masters against each other. Both men are geniuses in my opinion and I listen to both extensively depending on my mood. |

naijababe: Sunny is great with lyrics also no doubt but Obey beats him hands down just as he's better than Obey in beats and stage entertainment. The track you posted above (eri okan) can only be composed by a genius no doubt but for any one of Sunny track like this there are at least 4 or 6 of such tracks composed by Obey, from the very old one like; Ore mi ye se pelepele, eni ri nkan he, oro awa eda nile aye, to not very old ones like gbeja mi o, orisirisi ore lo wa, mo ti pinu, generation to generation and many more. |

That LP was praise singing from the beginning to the end. Many posters here may be very young, I believe that's why they make such submission. Obey is legendary when it comes to praise singing especially the composition of his lyrics. Board members that you stated above is one of the best and to my surprise, I learnt that the track was never rehearsed. There are many more like where he praised Olusegun Osoba (Album Determination), Bode Osinusi, MKO Abiola and most importantly Imortality for the memory of the late sage Chief Obafemi Awolowo. |

This is what KSA once sang: Sunny Ade o lo ro gun ninu olorin Isola o ba won di te ninu onilu KSA, dakun, ma wo won lo ye . . . . . ., KSA himself said he had no rival, I approve that proclamation |
