@poster
Thank you a lottttttttttttt for bring this topic up, it needs to be said. Thank you jo, o se o jare. May the lord bless you.

Dont mind those tryin 2 put u down. Ur topic is a good one. The femcees are the worst. Especially mo' cheddah. Have u heard her pronounce the word 'nothing' sounds like 'na-in'. Very annoyin. Most of them havnt even lived in the states before . . . . . and going on holiday for 2 weeks doesnt count.

This is hillarious ha ha ha 

Niggas Lie Alot! Why Do Nigerian Artistes Lie in Their Songs & Fake Accents

he he he funny topic.

NVQ2:

To fully analyse this trend can you guys answer these questions

1- Why do most rappers/hip hop artiste who lived abroad(states/UK) ave to come to Nigeria to really blow by doing it d naija way as in afro hip hop
   e.g. Weird MC, Dbanj ,(4rm UK),Naeto C ,Ikechukwu,Sauce Kid(4rm .States).

2=Why do the ones that are still resident abroad making music the naija way ,rappin in 9ja flow and still relying on 9ja airplay and publicity as well as Lagos market for their success? eg Tillaman/Dola-puyanka,Pounds/naira nd AY, JJC nd 419 (way back)El Swagga (not sur i got dt) etc.

3- Talking about selling internationally as one poster said --Why did El Dee come to Lagos and not Rap in American Lingo in Atlanta to enter the chart there instead of doing it 'Bo i gbangba way'? or rather wh cant the likes of Naeto C and Ikechukwu remain in New York and do the 'real ' hip hop where it comes 4rm with dem borrowed accent?

4-Why Did  2face's 'African Queen'  an international hit despite it being in simple 9ja English devoid of fake nasalized accent?-- and winning MTV/MOBO awards.

5- Why did 9ices 'Gongo Aso' win MOBO ? its yoruba despites all the real MC'S u av .

6-Why Did KSA 'syncro system' a hit in the 80's with Grammys nomination?

7- Why is hip-hop/rap not recognized /defined or popular in Nigeria before the song 'Sakomo' by Remedies?


Well answer this questions and get inline of my thought ,truth is bitter to arrive at any conclusion there shou;d be analysis
the fact remains that any Nigerian would feel Nigga raw than Kanye west and would flow with 9ice than Lil Wayne .Staying real take u places cos music is a universal language .hip hop /rap is a culture of reality about where you belong and happenstances there thats why an artiste will be insane to use words like 'bitches,hoes.chicken head.baby mama/fada' in Lagos cos we dont live that style .
We are who we are if Jay - Z speaks anoda lang than English he ad others wuld gladly sing in it.So lets embrace ours thats keepin it real .

TENI NTENI TA KI TA N TAKITAN ! = UMUNNAMU!- CHIKENEKE MEE!=ELA HO I HE!

Thats our own swags.


The truth is that n

i beg make somebody answer these questions. . . . . .

I just can't stand all those fake artistes like Banky W, P Square and that mo' cheddah.

banky w shud not be on the list,dude grew up in the states or what is ur point , or u reply cos pple dey reply?
anyway i actually like mocheddah,i only have problem with sauce kid and kel, sauce went to the states wen he was 17 and u cant believe it when he switches this accent, guy kool down

kel, dont even know what her problem is, she sound dumb when she does that her nothing -noin, something, soin stuff

maybe she is dumb.

she sound dumb when she does that her nothing -noin, something, soin stuff

ok, no talks abt [size=14pt]M.I.[/size] at least. Eldee is rily a big boy me tinks nd notin 'wow' abt his accent. The few ones who probably use their yankee accent r doin it on purpose e.g. Ikechukwu. . Peter nd Paul stil has dat thick Ibo accent so i don't see 'em fakin anyfin.

TOSINDAD@ ND IBKAYE ARE BOTH HOMOSEXUALS,
NO DOUPT A HANDFULL OF OUR ARTIST MAKE GOOD MUSIC (just a handfull) but i think they need to sort out there identity issues, i dont really jam naija tunes these day but my boys jam them alot and mot of my boys got nigeezy on the TV 24hr a day. Honestly i think the accent thing is getting better than it used to be last year, its funny when i got friends that are not nigerian around and i tell them this is a naija tune and all they say is "WHY DOES HE SOUND AMERICAN AND WHY IS HE USING AMERICAN BARS (SLANGS)" I ALSO GET RESPONSES LIKE "THOSE EVERY 1 IN NIGERIA SPEAK LIKE THIS?".

Hee hee haw haw ching long ting. I laugh in chinese. Only in Nairaland folks. No place else do I get to laugh in tongues. Dudes please.How low can u go to prove your points?

@ poster, spoken like a true observer what i've noticed in recent times. The uncomfy truth is that most nigerians don't like being Nigerians. Americans are who they wish they were. I bet mo'cheddah or Naeto c wished their great great-great grand Dad was kunta kinte. And should anyone blame these fake cats for not giving two hoots about their roots? When they are obviously lacking of national pride? What do you expect from people so heavily influenced by american culture?

Thing is the Nigerian audience like forming and people who live a lie so the media gives it to em and they appreciate it! Simple

fakin accents is one thing, faking it wrongly is another.

plenty agberos on radio and tv do it,y cant musicians??

some parents would be shocked wen they hear their offsprings go nasal all in a bid to deny that they were fed ogi baba/kunu in their formative years.

kolo mentality,oyinbos live here for years and struggle to learn out tongue(check dan foster).our pple no go even reach airport before dem turn wonna gonna 'monkeys'.

sule ellams on raypower,numerous musicians who akws go 'u knw a mean'etc


abeg i cant shout.fakin is an art,if u want to do it at all please DO IT WELL.

I hate it when people,esp the musicians fake der accents,its truly colonial mentality

whaeva bruv. . ain't nobody lyin bout nuffin. I'm a pop one in u for tryna play us like dat, cuz. Naija for life. 



# Krayola, unless i say no be be
# We do it for the chedda, but love it to death.
