Ogbeche77:
Beats and melody before anything else.. Fela proved that over and over..
Fela played in Berlin in 1978 to Eastern Germans who really don't understand a word of English, not to talk of pidgin English.. He also filled ground in Glastonbury in '84..
90% of Fela's music were in pidgin

Yes, the Glastonbury show was apparently epic. He was the first African to perform there (Dbanj also performed there a few years ago)...and there's no concert on this planet greater than Glastonbury.

Fela Kuti the legend!

DollyParton1:

Well, your skill is giving you false idea bro.

Lol. When the beat goes down, it's gonna be a good beat like Fela's drum.

Yea, Ogunkoya is a typical Ijebu name, so there is 95% chance that he is ijebu.
So what airport are you planning on buying?

That's what's up. We've always been the cutest by ratio - apart from those dark skinned hinterland Yoruba folks lol. TY Ogunkoya is definitely going places - proud of that guy, man. And he's super intelligent and educated as well. He has a degree in Engineering from the prestigious Imperial College.

Dont know about those names, the only Dabiri I have heard of is Abike Dabiri and she is from Ikorodu, but then Ikorodu people are believed to have migrated from Ijebu land. I have never heard of Demuren before, are you a Demuren?

Who's Abike Dabiri? Nah, Ikorodu folks didn't migrate there - the place has always been part of Ijebu Kingdom, ditto most parts of the Islands in Lagos that isn't Eko - all the way to Epe.

I can't put my last name on here lol. But I know a few Demurens and they're all Ijebus.

Nigerians know how great that man was, well maybe except the indomie generations.
My mom used to tell me so many tales about the Ransome-Kuti family. Thats one great family.
My parents listened to Ebenezer Obey and Sunny Ade, hence my love for them.
But basically, I love more of serene musical instrumentals.
Should try some Fela again, this time with an open mind, maybe I would feel something.

This is my favourite Fela tune here - just check out the saxophone, the percussion, and the sync of the sound and rhythm. Legendary!

I wouldn't look at that Ty twice if I saw him in a neutral place or something. There is something effeminate about him .
Abike Dabiri was a broadcaster on NTA. She used her platform to draw attention to masses suffering from poverty and injustice. She was compassionate on TV. She is now a politician representing Ikorodu constituency.
Now thats one beat of Fela I fit mess with. Lol....

Missy89:

I'm into a lot of genres of music - that's an old skool soul by Ben E. King. Anyway, my first love and greatest love of all, will always be hip-hop(rap), especially G-funk from the West Coast. You need to get into hip-hop, and let me show you the spiritual side of it, while we puff puff pass the zoobie. What do you think?

Anyway, check out this tune. It's called "garage"(the fast one 4x4) and it's from the UK. And we dance to it in a cool way, with two fingers - coolest dance ever out of London Town. This tune used to be huge out here in 2008 - with everyone going bonkers in the club. Nothing special, I just want to know what you think.

Yes, he does look androgynous and somewhat like the negro version of Justin Bieber. When he hits 40 and he's out of the modelling world, he definitely need to grow a mustache like his pops and get that proper male swagger back. But I don't think he's into black chics - he looks like the type who loves his snow bunnies.

Darn!! You sure love 'em looking masculine, rugged, and rough, no? - I like that. With all that badonkadonk, who else can handle all that apart from rough riders?

Nice - I'll be on the look-out for the woman. Ikorodu women seem to have the juice. Lola Alakija and now this one. When next I hit naija, I need to check the place out - those are la familia right there. Last time I was in Lagos, I was on the Island. Went to Epe once, and was on the mainland twice. The mainland has to be hell on earth but I still hit some hoods like a hood moped to puff on that sticky zoot with my cousin, running around in vest and shorts. I defo need to hit other parts of Lagos.

Also, check out this next tune from the legendary catalogue of the great Fela Kuti - legend. You should learn a thing or two from this one. The drums, man - greatness.

Masculine, yeah. Rugged and rough? No. I like em smooth and dark like chocolate.

I dont know.... someone needs to break and analyze the beat for me... cant go past 3mins on any Fela's music.

DollyParton1:

Lol. When did I become a girl?

Masculine, yeah. Rugged and rough? No. I like em smooth and dark like chocolate.

So, no love for light-skinned nyygahs, no? Well, the Poles done use all their slots.

So you checked out the Kalakuta Republic?

Not yet.

I shall break it down for you when I see you. But you gotta to twerk and shake that thang like Fela's dancers.

SirShymexx:

no bro. I meant that's what your post implied. Just reading in between the lines.

So, no love for light-skinned nyygahs, no? Well, the Poles done use all their slots.

There is enough love to go round.

Not yet.

Fixed.
You just gotta talk about twerking innit?

DollyParton1:

no bro. I meant that's what your post implied. Just reading in between the lines.

Lol. Yous crazy!

There is enough love to go round.

Then show light-skinned nyggahs some love. I'm not dark-skinned yano? I'm also not light-skinned. I'm caramel - something like Nas' completion. So, where is the love?

Fixed.

Yes, that's what real African do, and should do lol. I remember growing up, and every time we go to naija parties - it's always about naija women shaking their badonkadonks to African sounds and drums - showing off their natural gifts, while being proud of the unique gifts of black women. But these days, it's all about dancing azonto, skelewu and all those crippled dance. That shiit ain't flee, man. We need to bring the old school African women back!

Do you know Shina Peters? - that was a legend dem times there. His music used to kill naija parties, I tell ya. I still clown around with my dargs about the legend of Shina Peters.

SirShymexx:

Told ya, there is enough love to go around. Moreover, we are all equal in Gods eyes. But not in my eyes . The sight of a dark-skinned-looking-like-Taye-Diggs man, gives me 0rgasm.

He is an Egba son ya know. I still listen to Sir Shina Peters when ever I want that nostalgic feeling of my childhood . While the moms and dads were moving to Sunny Ade and Obey's beat at parties, we kids were twerking to Shina Peters and Dayo Kujore on the side.

Lol. Don't worry, I shall give you something far better than 0rgasm - make you squirt like a muthaphucka. I'm crazy, yo. I take dark-skinned nyggahs chics...so it's nothing and you'll get got with ease.

I never knew he's Egba but his music was heavy at naija parties out here back in the day. Shina Peters was the shiznit.

Anyway, can you shake it and dance like those Yoruba women?

Err, I'm gone for a week after today - see you next week, Dr. Dolly.

Holz is callin'.

Let me leave you with one of my favourite tunes ever.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVucWRs-eWA

Alrighty... enjoy your holz.

By the way Sirshymexx, you going to the belly of the beast for holidays?

SirShymexx:


I'm enjoying ya debate with dolly, never knew you had this in you lol.

Anyway, what is the average Ijebu chic like? I haven't met that many, apart from those in my immediate family.

I have an ex who is half-Ijebu(dad) from Ijebu Ode and half-delta Igbo. Had a short fling in Uni with a next chic whose parents are from Ijebu Ode...she was in Aston Uni back then. And some chic that got away late last year cos I didn't know a next girl I had a one-night stand with talks to her. Ol'girl snitched on me and we haven't been cool since then. That is like one of the most beautiful chics I have ever seen - a proper wifey. Her dad is Ijebu but it seems her mum is from Osun.

Apart from those three, I don't really know much, tbh.

@dollyparton1

Lol. Don't worry, keep shooting. I'm enjoying the posts and you are entitled to ya opinions.

Haaaahaa lets just say i observe more and I try to exchange ideas with people that are ready to see beyond their opinion. Some folks cant handle a discourse without hate words/subtle insults /direct insults and the likes especially when they feel the discussion is not going in their favor. I am sort of allergic to hate words/insults, Most times i may just keep quiet even when I have a contrary opinion and like someone I know said 'you can never quote silence:.


Average Ijebu girl hmm just normal like other girls i think. I have not really met much apart from my family members and they are great but then I cant generalize


3rd paragraph hmm no comment.

ermm dollyparton

Cant really quote your last post


At least you agree that we manage resources loool. contrary to what you think we also do help people in genuine need.


The most important part of the post for me was the last paragraph where you said its about dealing with the individual first. That's just it.

Ermm sirshymexx happy holidays, are electronic devices prohibited at the Belly of the beast (where exactly is that dolly?)

And sorry to both of you for replying late.

DollyParton1:
By the way Sirshymexx, you going to the belly of the beast for holidays?

Belly of the Beast is London Town - the financial and political capital of the Anglo-American axis and the world.

Out of town.

Enjoy this!
