prettyboi1989: If u used to oldscul american rap music dats when ejeajo will appeal to u, if not u'll b lyk wat d hell r dese guys singing. The song makes sense. Try listen to ladies night (old scul song) u will get wat ejeajo is all about. The ejeajo is more lyk a remake of an old scul jam.
u no leave dat OP kid alone. He know nothing, empty barrel.

Even then, People say they copy, but still they keep breaking through.

That the EjeAjo song is not Kpangolo as naija wants it doesnt mean people dont like it.

Millions of people will still like it.

One man's food is another man's poison.
op made me love d song more. Am presently listen to it on repeat self.

Funny how people that make excuses for dbanj as just an entertainer, come here and expect p square to be Jill Scott. P square have always been entertainers/ crowd pleasers by maintaining the style that made them successful. Even if don't like it, u can't fault them for that.

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?

I had to watch the video after reading his criticism so that I can be on the same page with him. Op I think you are being too hard on them, the song is not as bad you said although the video could have been better. Sure the US market is a tough one even for US local artists but the African markets is as lucrative as the US. Let's not focus on negatives, our local artists are doing well so let's encourage them.

in HIP HOP
Phenom not Olamide or Ice-prince


Nigerians loving rubbish since 1960

Still think Phenom is the best natural rapper out of all dem rappers in Naija.

Phenom lines gives me goose bumps.

RedEboe: 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?

You are simply a hater, bastard. Tiwantiwa.
