Thy Album Come - Ruggedman

These are without any doubt IMO the BEST albums outta naija in the last 10 years.

@ Rapjunkie,

I feel your name say a lot about you. U r classing ruggedy's "Album come" among the best this last decade. A junk album getting rated by a rapjunkie!

Dude, be objective for once. Thy Album Come was a hell of an album. Afro Hip Hop at its best

@Genuflect,

How do you mean by being objective. I can't be hommie, i mean to be optional, i would rather sound theoretical.

Nigerian Music & Wanton Lyrics

A legionnaire never forgets the songs he sang when searing bullets and a homebound hope was all that existed. Songs written by music craftsmen who believed the words on a song should inspire, educate and also entertain. For us, could be the spreading lump in our educational system is contagious, enough to make the intellectual bones of the music industry slumber on pedestrian and wanton lyrics.

‘You write a hit the same way you write a flop.’ U.S. lyricist Alan Jay Lerner’s attribution emphatically strikes a note; songs that have skimmed the rims of years are cut with great lyrics. The lyrics of John Newton’s hymns and those of Fela Kuti may be ages apart, but share a unique factor – lyrics that have shaped the state-of-mind of generations. How then can it be that in Nigeria’s 21st century only few (very few) music artistes enjoy international reviews on content? A time machine malfunction will be a ridiculously good excuse to make after a sad account of lyrical junks that is noted on Nigeria’s musical worksheet. It seems most of our so-called songwriters are still clothed in animal skin, or mediocrity is paying the bills at the expense of creativity.

Trashing out the concerns of Nigeria’s music lyric meltdown is not a swing-by-the-block task, but indicators such as Professional Ineptitude, Cultural Threshold and Creative Hocus-pocus will underscore the literal extinction of good lines that makes great music.
