Nigerians are so disgusting..

Tell me what Jay Z,Rick Ross,Lil Wayne,Drake,Chris Brown do sing ?
They only sing about pucci,drugs & how they bought Bugatti & Lamborgini.

Americans worship Wizkid,Davido,D'banj.. As for Iyanya, they will even die for him.

If you ever say bad against someone's song, go sing your own let's know how many people who's gonna buy.

You can't even buy a pair of psquare's shoe.

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?

They're making money & you're hating..

Personally I think no Nigerian act is gonna break into the american music whatever. Dbanj had one international hit song, Oliver. The buzz has since died down. To become internationally relevant outside Africa an artist has to be able to connect with a particular audience, preferably in the pop, R&B, reggae-ton, rock, soft rock, hip-hop, country music genres. I assure you none of our singers can pull off such a feat. Probably because none of them is intelligent enough to make music that transcends race and ethnicity. IMO though.

list of outsiders Bob marley,Elton John,ABBA,westlife,Seal,Sade,Lucky Dube,John Lennon etc.

I feel your pain bro, & think that Ejajo song is cra, even if they put Kendrick Lamar on it. Thanks goodness somebody else sees what nonsense the duos are making of Nigerian music. They just don't get it. Music in Nigeria has evolved, and grown better than they take it to be. Come to think of it, the last couple of good songs i heard from Psquare was More Than A Friend , and a couple of other tracks in that album. That was like 7yrs ago... hello?! Yes! that gotta be when they lost it... doing "solo" albums,
no strong collabos, same pattern of songs, nothing new! Y'all remember around 2010/2011? Yeah, M.I was at his peak, every artist wanted wanted the gifted MC to give them a verse, Naeto C too, Vector, a host of other good artist that made good music. Oh yeah, they did a track with Rugged Man; that song made me sick like aarghh, can't even imagine the sound!
The point is, Psquare is so laid back if they were artistes of this decade, their songs would only get a couple of minutes on local radio stations. Like, who would buy tickets to go listen to crap? Niqqa pls, I'd rather chill at home. These dudes are so suck in the past, their music is still something like Eedris in 2004, Faze's Kolomental, Tattoo Gilr's days. Imagine a PSquare-Olamide track, or a Psquare-Burna Boy collabo... what would it sound like, right? we all get the picture! The thing is, it's time to take another dimension. When i heard the duos were splitting, i kinda of felt it would bring a change, but hey... we're stuck in the same place. Maybe they should just focus on oil money, or go marry their wives like you said. The "Tune" Of Music has changed in Nigeria, and its evident they can't keep up! The music is crap, it don't matter who you feature in it... First they had Rozay, now it's T.I, maybe the next would be Waka Flocka, then 2pac to help resurrect their dead music!!


THE CASE OF NIGERIAN MUSIC BREAKING INTO THE US market na subject of another day. We're making advances. Do you know Don Jazzy has worked with big acts like Beyonce, Lil Wayne? we'll get their soon we just need patience, it'll bring us goodluck. We just need to remind Ice Prince that featuring 2chainz next won't guarantee a good song. But with acts like Sinzu, Mode9, Vector & a host of others i see a breakthrough soon. And with Asa on our team, I see the grammy coming!!!

Then it's just one track....just one song, intentionally made to be different. This is a song for international audience.....not just Nigerians.

this is what happens when you allow kids gain access to the internet. Saying they can't break into the american hip hop bla bla is just trash talk, the fact they could even feature TI is a break in already, if you think its easy, drop one song let's see if your family members will even listen to it. Yu must have inferiority complex for you to look down on your own and by the way, are there no Africans in the US? Did the African Americans drop from the sky? Mtchewwww Jobless C*nt!

For those NL commentators on this thread daring me to release my own music/song before criticising Psquare, i say a big "THANK YOU O"

However,the next time you all open your dirty mouths from the comfort of cheap beer palours to criticize your favourite football team or striker for failing to play well & score goals...remember your advise to me and do same with your respective football careers.

Hypocrites!
