On Psquare And Why Naija Artistes Will Never Break Into US Market. by RedEboe(m): 5:09am On Sep 05, 2014
Till date I have been unable to watch Psquare's Ejeajo music video from begining to end for no other reason than the fact that i find that video/song utterly disgraceful.

Most devoted/diehard Psquare fans feel the same way too, but many will not say a word; some keep on replaying Ejeajo, hoping the song will eventually grow on them...its not happening.

Psquare has released its first major flop and the inclusion of American rapper T.I will not save them this time around.

The Ejeajo song sounded below average, ordinary, nothing catchy, no rhythm and to sum it all up, totally tasteless. It seems as though the sole purpose of this song was just to feature T.I and break into the American market.

I can bet my very last kobo that any American (Black) who's opportuned to watch Ejeajo video will laugh off his seat saying, "Who are these African booty scratchers trying too hard to sound like us and dance better than Usher?"
I felt the same way watching Peter Okoye putting in so much "gra gra" into his dance moves.

But on a serious note, about Nigerian artistes wanting to break into the American market; do these Nigerian artistes think that the Jay Zs, P Diddys and Dr Dre's will sit back and watch Nigerian music break into US Hip hop market? Especially in an America where music and sports are the few things black Americans can really hold on to. So they (Black American artistes) will allow some black African musician to come in and steal their domestic market share?

Nigerian music is already big in many African countries like Kenya,Zambia,Ghana and even South Africa. Do we think indigenous artistes and music promoters in these African countries are happy with Nigerians dominating their respective music scenes?

Why will Black Americans not stay proactive and stop Nigerian music from gaining foothold in their market?

Now here's the truth,someone should tell Psquare that its time to go back to the drawing board and re-invent themselves. I don't know the duo's football age but i'm guessing they are in their mid thirties. When dancing musicians start growing older or maturing, they concentrate more on the quality of their music, where more matured dance steps are incorporated. 'Matured dance steps' here simply means slow but sleeker dance moves, just like USHER in GOOD KISSER. And definitely not the 'gra gra' Peter Okoye was showcasing in Ejeajo, epecially to a lousy song.

I think it's time the Okoye twins take a break from music for some time; perhaps they can go concentrate on their respective marriages or try to mentor younger musicians with the ability to sing and dance.

After a few years, Psquare can return with a new style and sound.

For now,Psquare has lost it and i hope their closest fans and admirers tell them this truth before it's too late.

Remember Dbanj?

We are on the same side on this. The video is rubbish, the song no sweet sef. When I downloaded the video and showed it to a friend he merely asked me to forward it to TI's part. I think they are loosing it and they should try and go back to the old Psquare we knew. They should try and be original and not try to sound like one foreign artist.

Hmmmmm! Ur opinions ni yen ☺º°˚˚°ºo

As long as it is Psquare, there's always something unique about their music. And, I'll still choose them over some other lacklustres Nigerian music.

They only want to let American know. And now, America don know! Shikena...

Edited...... I bet some people are suffering from a phobia dat hasn't been discovered yet. How could u condemned dis one unique video from one of the Unique African Artists

Just watched the video and it was a uniqueness @its best from the duo. A video dat both Jude Engees Okoye and Clarence Peters directed together.

@OP, tell us what's wrong with u?

OP, Psquare are 9ja guys so allow them do their own thing in the 9ja way. Let them invade the America market any how it is. I tell you black americans and Africans over there are appreciating their effort. Seriously, you don't know what you have until you lose it. Let's promote our country whether they do it like the americans or not. For me, their style is unique and they are giving it out in the African way. I remember the past when Africa was no where in music but these days we hardly notice the american or foreign music cos we are getting great as well. They are really making us proud. Go boys and come back to share another testimony!

Its funny you Judged and condemned Psquare on just one song. To you because of this song Psquare's carrier finished and can never make it again. funnily, i like the song.

please do me a favour whenever you go to a club and they are playing chop my money, alingo, personally, testimony etc please sit down, dont dance just say in your mind its over for Psquare.


In essence your criticism was too absolute. your judged and condemned PSQAURE future relevance solely on one song. Next time criticize the song leave the musician.

Its like criticizing Russel Crow on the flop Film Noah and conclude.... his career is finshed

"joblessness" na him cause some one to come up with this piece of jargon when he can not even do a track that can break into his own street market.

Come back in few months time and do the song review. the latest three tracks are sure club bangers!

Haters will always do their job.
