Pidgin is our lingua Franca o. Go to any market in any big city and let me know what language u hear most. Oyinbo language no sweet so we remix am. Pidgin na guyman English. U better ja si 

You might be ashamed of "Naija Retarded Music", but these white bwoys beg to differ.

bluespice:

is pidgin the lingua franqq of Nigeria?
why are we quick to shut people down as not being 'real' enough if they don't sing in pidgin?
smfh

Is Ebonics the lingua franca of the USA?

Is Patoia the lingua franca of Jamaica?

I like pidgin and I love hearing it, it is our equivalent of ebonics and patoia.


My complaint about the delivery in the vids I posted was mainly due to the fact that they are using a FAKE American accents. The talent is most definately real though.

Found out long ago that "good music" is relative
just because you don't like it doesnt mean its bad
There's a reason you could tune off if you dont want to listen to it.

Better still sing too if you can & lets see how many people will really appreciate it.
GBAM!!!

My take on subject is:
If you blame a man for serving Poison to His folks consistently, You should also look into the patronage. It's more of the People getting what's served (even though they don't deserve it) and not questionong it. If they don't buy or promote it won't sell. My humble opinion.

Put the hegg in the ot hoil

I'm on about this nonsense high horse u, and some other posters, are sittin on, trying to paint people as "beneath you" because u don't like their music. It's absolutely retarded IMO.

It's kinda pathetic u actually are convinced that throwing around names of classical composers and Ivy league institutions may suggest to people that u are refined. WTF does harvard have to do with being a good musician? First it was Michael Jackson, then it was about lyrics, now about socio-economic status and where u went to school.

your argument can't stand on it's own merit. It's bull$hit and I can smell it from thousands of miles away.

Where did Orlando owoh go to school? Which car did his daddy drive? Sunny ade nko? U do know that burying one's head inside cosmo does not necessarily improve one's iq, right?  

ayettymama, try again.

easy here just a bit cos the quality of music has declined all over the world.

maybe if more cultures would look inside themselves for art and creativity then the quality would get better.

take 9ja hip hop for an example: maybe try not to get so enwrapped in sounding like hip hop from the american stand point and try to just incorp hip hop as a small base then lay the 9ja culture over it keep it as 9j as possible with a hip hop trace.

wande coal /d' banj and their porducers are pretty good at this.

People can be funny sometimes! Someone titled a song 'Free Madness' and you expect the song to be a lyrical masterpiece, e be like say una don mad pass Terry G sef besides the stuff happening in Naij is enuff to drive anyone postal!

I do have one problem with Terry G. Lol what the phuck is that on his head?

A-40:

HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha. A-40 don mad o  I read some comments on this thread and Im grateful most people aren't as superficial as the posters. Because person no blow grammar him no fit get sense abi? Because him no go school him no fit entertain people? Because he be "Loki" make him no chase him dream again? What a jagbajantical balderdash. 

Infact if your father does not have three beemers u can't contribute to the mixtape. Abeg,  Music is only for the "Behind". 

I tire for the matter oh. People have their different tastes i am a Jigga fan i listen to Nas,X to tha Z, Snoop, Busta, Jeezy, Bun B, Black Thought, DMX, The Game, BTNH, Outkast, Wyclef, K-Naan, Red & Meth, EM (back in the day) amongst other rappers but i am also eclectic enough to bump some Sizzla Kalange,Mavado,Vybz,Elephant Man and Damian Marley and when i want to go all soulful on you Donnell Jones,Babyface,Simon Webbe e.t.c are the peeps i call never mind rock bands like RHCP, No Doubt, Linkin and their baba Coldplay now that doesn't mean i would sit and call Naija music retarded! Maybe we are not there yet but we are getting there! Go to Insomnia,K's Place,Volar and most of the other clubs around its mostly Naija songs they bump i think Naija music has grown to a point where we can support it we are waiting for the movies to step up their standard

@Krayola
I like Terry G's hustle mehn that guy is a hardworking muthaphocka when he came out initially he was forming fresh boy when he switched his style up he got more popular! Ironically Free Madness is arguably his biggest hit which means mad people are in the majority so why would he need to bend over backwards for the few sane people who wont even buy his $hit. If Lady Gaga sang Free Madness they would say she's inventing a new style and pushing creativity to the limits but since its Terry G its rubbish

lady gaga does tend to have alot of hidden meaning tho-

in kanye's words; thats nas level shit

o actually that was in defence to soulja boi

whom to many didnt make sense but said alot of dirty shit in his songz

dirty little perv!

ayettymama:

No it doesn't.

Krayola:

kolomentality at its "brilliant" best. Why don't u go to the "lokis" and teach them refinement. Kinda like your uncle whitey taught your savage a$$ how to be "sophisticated".

Madame, Imo u got a third rate education. The ignorance in your post fit wound person.

No mind am jare.

chic2pimp:

No it doesn't.

yea it does!
