Music lovers in the house,have you also noticed the crazy decline in quality of nigeria music videos in regards to creativity recently? I mean,the reason i dont anticipate to see most of the latest songs and their videos all points to the fact that the videos these directors churn out these days lacks every ingredient of creativity.Its almost getting to the point where most of the nigerian music videos are becoming look alikes -atleast to me.Like having same concept and outlook to almost all the videos.Am not in tune with the things that go on behind the scenes,modalities and the challenges in shooting the video but as a consumer/costumer and or fan,is it too much to ask these directors to atleast think outside the box?

What we see in these videos nowadays is the conventional and overplayed dark warehouse scenes with phony coloured lights,smoke flying everywhere(am still trying to get the concept behind this and it use),the artistes and his/her cameos and ofcourse the SEXY female dancers and "vixens" which are all cramped up in the warehouse for the almighty video shoot.The director moving his camera from left to right,up and down,everyone dancing and the video is all set for and if this dont work, south africa is the next stop.The videos are almost always predictable.

As much as i hate to use the west as a yardstick to compare our videos,we cant help but admire the brains of the average western music video director,with their cutting edge creativity and ability to think outside the box and push boundaries of video directing.No one is saying we must spend millions or billions on videos,beyonce shot '7/11' as simple as possible and we all loved the video,heck! It won and was nominated for several awards,SIA shot 'elastic heart' in a room with only two people and i loved the video,bigsean shot 'I know' ft Jhene aiko with no half naked girls,no smoky stuff and we all love the concept and the story line behind the video,and there is 'bad blood' by Taylor swift,though looks a little expensive but the creativity was out of this world.

Why cant we take cues from them or again 'think out of the box'.It has never been like this,there was a time when we use to get it right,as simple as Olamide's 'eni duro' i actually enjoyed the video,and some other video from the near past and decades ago.And to think these artistes pay several millions for this latest generic and predictable videos is more sickening.My point is,lets this directors stop shooting videos for shooting sake and get creative -ahh! Must they shoot ten videos in a day? Even at that you can still get crazy and creative with it,ed shereen shot a video wearing one outfit dancing with a girl in a room and the video won several prestigous award including grammy if am not mistaken.Some nigerian and african music video directors are trying though but we can do better please.

God bless us as we improve.Thanks.

hallelujah is an excellent vid,because through the vid we were clearly able to picture what was going on,and i like the way he raps,he is doing what 2shotz could not do..
