litetias: You lost me when you used Wizkid and Olamide as examples of musician s who have gone commercial but still retain their talent. PLEASE! First off, Davido has no talent whatsoever relating to music I don't, doubt those who say he uses juju. Secondly, Wizkid has talent as evident from his first album but since then what has he really done to show it.
brother juju for music how na Something that is even clear to the blind lolz davido has money and resources that's why he is always relevant, he can buy songs,has good production team, can ft any artist he likes he uses his resources to make good music everything is not about juju ooo my 50kobo |

Rapmoney: For years, this Nigerian artiste thrilled us with bunches and dozens of trash! Many Nigerians actually spent this time dancing to his 'beats' filled with meaningless statements as lyrics!!! . It became so annoying when people who know nothing about good music and the generes of music in general started referring to TerryG as a hip-hop artiste!!! What an insult to hip-hop!!! Though, that didn't disturb me much because I know a lot of Nigerians don't even know how to classify music/songs.
When TerryG started this music thing some years back, he was producing and doing RnB. According to him, he wasn't selling records; he decided to 'commercialize' not only his songs but also his life. He introduced all he could into his music...flagrant display of weed smoking, drinking, celestial church bell ringing (Akpako) and other stuffs. After that, he became popular and was riding on the wings of commercial music. For TerryG, the sky was the only limit! .
Today, the irrelevance of this artiste in the Nigerian music industry is very clear; in fact, it is as clear as DSTV!!! . The young man doesn't have anything else to talk about; his weed, drink, Mr bling bling, bell ringing and other stuffs have not been able to save him. That is what is obtainable when one commercializes his music and loses his talent in the process!!! No matter how commercial you go, always remember to keep your talent intact. I know so many Nigerian artistes that are no longer heard after a short time because they either lost their talent or lacked real talent in the first place I believe Wizkid, Davido and some other music folks would still be in the limelight even in years to come because they still retained elements of their talent and sanity musically! As far back as year 2000, I was nodding my head to songs by the likes of Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, etc. Today, it may interest you to know that I am still doing that...and proudly too. Why? It is because they do commercial music but still retained their talent! They do music that suit the American populace, even down to Asia and Africa!!!
Nigerian artistes should learn how to be creative to stay relevant! It is not all about dishing out beats and crazy senseless lyrics to members of the public!!! Where is D'Smart that dis that song about pikin that wanted to drink small stout? No where to be found because he lacked real talent. He was only there to pick the few Naira notes he could while the fake fame lasted!
Recently, some artistes have reared their heads from no where and have started dishing out meaningless trash to the public. Let's see if the 'Share the gala, share the cake' artistes will still be relevant in the industry in the next two years!!!
I must say your assertion above is born out of hate and bad belleism. What is your own? Who knows u in Nigeria? Who told you Terry G is down and out? Just because he has not released a new album? Is that it? What will you say if he releases one tomorrow and ut us a hit as usual? Guy! Go get yourself a Job and stop this slanderous life style. |

Virtually all the Nigerian musicians that claim to play hip-hop, Afro pop etc would have gone under if not for the rejuvenation of the Nigerian music scene as a result of the impact of Ghanaian-style Azonto and hiplife (fusion of fast tempo highlife and hip-hop)beats that are trending and dominating airwaves across Africa and adopted by Nigerian musicians in the last 3-4years. All what you need to do is to do a fine Azonto-inspired beat....that is what people like Wizkid, Davido, Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, etc are all benefiting from in the last 3 years |

Thank you sir. Africans and their "bringhimdown" syndrome. Yes it's prevalent with a lot of us. While I may not be a big fan of the singer, you must give him his respect for coming to this industry and making a name for himself. He came, he saw, he conquered. And he picked his cash.
Life is all about ups and downs. Nobody can stay up forever. Some stay longer that others. What matters is that as a human being you are able to harness your abilities and talents and make something out of it. Make no mistake, not minding his type of lyrics, for being successful alone, he has repaid the universe, he has motivated people, he has invested his coin and reaped the reward. Yes, he made sense to some people.
Oga OP, I don't like people like you. Who are you and what have you done? Who knows you? What value have you added to people's life? Even the music you feel like you know, how have you added to it? You feel smart and important by talking down other people's achievement, yet you have achieved none. Do you think it's easy to get up on a stage and perform? Go on... Do it. Go ahead and pick up your own cash.
I don't like people like you and I have no respect for you or you analysis. Vascey, well said. I am a lover and follwer of music and I listen to every type of music and musician from 1000 degrees, Nas, KRS1 to Lil Wayne, From Etta James to Adele, from Cher, Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion to Queen B, Lady Gaga and co, from Chaka Chaka, Brenda to Mafikizolo, Plantashun Boyz, Remedies to YBNL, PSquare and co. From DJ Tiesto to DJ Jimmy. Reading this one sided, hateful and spiteful piece from the OP was sad and horrific. Terry G brought a new taste & flavour to the Nigerian music scene and his songs came with some of the best beats ever heard in the Nigerian industry. Terry G is brave, vibrant, unafraid of critics, watchful of his fans, clever, very creative. Yes I love 2face and even have all his works bought from iTunes but we will never complete the list of meaningful and powerful contributors to the evolution and growth of the Nigerian music industry without mentioning Terry G with respect. Terry G might not be everyone's favorite artiste but we can also say the same for Bach and Mozart and King Sunny Ade. Jimmy Hendrix was considered as trash and dirty even in his days but now u know who u r talking about when you mention that name because of his contributions and how many other artistes built their carrier by borrowing one or more ideas from him and the same can be said for Terry G. I like him for his resilience and tenacity. He is always capable of bringing out something to rock the airwaves whether it is considered trashy or not. Do you think Eminem or Jay Z or Tupac with all their talent is acceptable to everyone ? NO. Not even Enya or Bob Marley could achieve such a feat. I love HipHop but there are other music genres so it doesn't make sense slandering an artiste from a Hip Hop point of view. So Terry G sings trash? Barbara Streisand is a music icon and her song (duck sauce) went global and please what was she saying in the song? Not everyone must appeal to you especially if u listen to music and musicians with a biased mind and limited music genre acceptance. Even Alicia in * When You Really Love Someone * said IT DON'T MAKE SENSE BUT IT MAKES A GOOD SONG. Now OP.. tell me your favourite artiste and I will show u a stupid song or lyric from him/her. 1 Like |

It's obvious the OP wrote subjectively nay objectively. A write up such as this,ought to be constructive,objective and balanced. Aside singing 'tasteless' music(according to you),Terry G is an astute business man cum producer. Dude has a good ear for beats which no one can deny. His uncanny ability to carve a niche for his genre of music in the dense Nigerian music space shows his ingenuity as a musician and prowess as a producer. In music,the market mood is a determinant factor as it either keeps you afloat relevance wise or bury u dispassionately. An attestation to his staying power vocally was when he exhibited a high sense of coming of age by churning out the hit song 'sexy lady' which I never get tired of u.
Never in your life ascribe potential downturn musically to the likes of Harrysong whose musical writing skill and vocal dexterity is widely acknowledged and obviously precedes him. You are neither a known music critic or aficionado. Thanks for the bore. |

Dis shld serve as warning 2 most of D so called commercial artistes who churn out acoustic garbage dey call music. Nowadays I have started 2 wonder if dey think b4 writing lyrics... In fact do dey write lyrics at all? All dey seem 2 do is just get a good producer & mixer then spit rubbish on d beat. In fact a lot of d "A-list" artistes in Nigeria r lyrically retarded. Let dem continue but when Nigerian musical industry bcoms lyk nollywood, dnt complain. And we d listeners/fans r no beta. Instead of us 2 support & listen 2 song with sound lyrical content, we prefer 2 listen 2 songs because of d gbim gbim & gba gba. As mi says in his song "talk about it", we listen 2 D beat of D song instead of d lyrics of D song. Dis has caused artistes such as iyanya, mi 2 intentionally water down d quality of their songs so as 2 gain more material success & those like darey, bez, mode9,who decide 2 maintain their style & quality remain on d fringe of showered attention & patronage. |
