As an artist when considering making a hit song first thing that comes to mind is the beat, secondly, the hook, well that’s about it nowadays ‘cos every time I turn on my TV I’m greeted by some auto-tuned chorus, banging beats while some rapper put out some wack rhymes and words together to form a verse, it’s irritating sometimes that the verses and chorus don’t even sync while basically some songs just lack subject matter. So they talk about money and girls in a song right? How about having other tracks on the album with a different subject matter? Is it just me or doesn’t it bore the listeners whenever they lay back in their 2010 Honda Accord (Well, anything with the quietness would do) bumping an album for an hour and all they keep hearing is ”bling” ”w***s” ”b***hes” ”money” e.t.c. OK! I admit when we are clubbing we don’t care to listen to the lyrics ‘cos we just want to have fun and move our bodies, understandably OK but what happened to being entertained as well as educated. The lyrics is a vital part of a song and should be paid attention to. There are different ways to improve the lyrical content of our music;

Speaking about lyrics, apparently rappers and other artists come up with some bullshit these days. I got lots of examples you can check out below and see what sense you can make out of them;




”all the girls de wash me like omo” by Davido

Omo* is a detergent, it is used to wash clothes, plates, e.t.c. So how come the girls are washing him (hyping him/ deceiving him/ flattering him) like Omo*. Unbelievable!!!




”I wish say, I fit say, you too fine pass my mama but that is impossible, thumps up to your mama cos she made it possible” by PSquare

Here, PSquare says they feel the girl is finer than their mother and that is impossible but thumps up to her mother ‘cos she made it possible What I think I’m not the only one confused here, PSquare too.



”I’m a Don Corleone” by Iyanya

Don Corleone is a character from The Godfather*. He says he is a Don Corleone like Don Corleone is a noun. If Iyanya is correct,then can I say I’m an Iyanya

Thats why 2face will be their king forever. He gives you the lyrics and the sound

engrtee: 2 face


tear drop fall from d sky

rain drop fall from my eyes

He really said that?

Baba – Baba De Baba

“I get small belle (belle)
they like my belle (belle)
they wan’ carry belle (belle)
but I know gree”

The above words from Baba either portrays him as someone that is totally insane and lost in his childhood or he thinks we are. I would have just pasted the song lyrics in here. I will love to request for his notepad or where ever he wrote this song on. Baba is a genius. lol

taiocol: if u need cool lyrics. Try this artist. mi

MI? He once said '' I solo like isolo''

Its not d artists that are wack, with all due respect, its ur taste in music that's wack. U ignore artists like bez, asa, mode9, praiz, becca, waje, toba gold, etc and u go for d wack ones and wen they give u wackness, u start complaining. Even in d albums of the so called artists with wack lyrics, they have songs that aren't noisy and reflects their struggles in life. But u ignore them are go for d wack jams. Our artists aren't wack, the radio stations promote wack songs cos its wat d public want. And by d way, u over estimate the topics out there music can cover.

1st page tinz... Not matter what i believe that our artit are trying, you cant compare them with foreign artist, The way they re brought up is different. So you dont expect Olamide to rap lyk Meek Mill but Wale Folarin can do that and even more all because of the environ he grew in...... Olamiide don talk am fffinish.. Toba easy ki iyalaya yin wa bo lori mic... You just gat to appreciate them... I love naija music, culture`
