i am ashamed of naija music these days. While other countries are improving with the poetic or lyrical content of their music naija music (apart from a few emcees) is going down the drain. Decreasing in quality. Now the more stupid and meaningless your song sounds, the better in naija. Look at musicians like Terry G, Maleke, and the host of others, they are dropping simply nonsense on a party beat. It looks like retards are soon going to start recording songs in the naija music industry.

ANY WAY SHA, big ups to the few who are still trying to drop real ish: Mode 9, 9ice, Banky W, George Bush, Tu face,

Yes ooo. I guess music in naija is just a way out of poverty than being talented and creative.

Another one jst got access to the net!
Here's the result. .

What do you mean tosin? This guy is writing the truth here! How can an [b]im[/b]becile like Terry G get so much attention, popularity and worst of all play counts? For saying absolutely nothing!

not really

good music died with michael jackson

look at the people being branded hiphop royalt

niki minaj and drake

look at those branded musilcal geniuses

lady gaga and will i am

look at what people are listenin to in the uk

cheryl cole a jay sean

im sorry poster good music died long ago-------RIP

ur onli option is to whip out the old record player and listen to oldies!

all of u are right
idio[i]t[/i]s like you mentioned shouldn't be allowed near recording studios talk more of having demos

I think the world may have moved on and left u guys behind.

that we have some good acts doesn't take away from the fact that fools are still being celebrated

"Fools" have always been celebrated. Afroman's "because I got high"  was nominated for a grammy. Milli Vanilli rocked the world. Ain't $hit changed IMHO 

^^ that song was mad funny though!

even the grammys are obverrated

beyonce got 6 grammys for single ladies!!!! single ladies are u kidding me

i lost respect for the grammys long ago sha!

I think u guys have a point, I just don't think anything has changed. It's a market place and u will almost always find all kinds of products. Some high quality and some that make u wish artistes had to write, and pass, musical JAMB. Also, sometimes that song u can't stand is someone else's favorite song. 

we celibrate mediocrity as a people
and mean the whole world

now

now there is an absolute and complete death of good music

even the good artists have 'gone bad' cos its all about commerce

its no longer an art, they do what will sell instead of doing what they love

obviously when were catering songz to ur 13yr old dowloader- why wont it be thier favorite song

look at usher raymond smh its just a damn shame- he went from utter brilliance in confessions

to utter nonsence in raymond v raymond- dont even get me started on the junk called here i stand!

the whole industry has changed

u have to dig deep to find good music- it aint popular anymore  

bluespice:

Ask different people to give u an example of "mediocre" and u will get different answers. Whose should we go by?

its a shallow world bluspice

and unfortunately the intelligent have to live in it!

while you approach is crass, you are indeed right;
there is still 'good music' out there it's just that one has to make an effort
although like krayola said, good music same with mediocrity is a very subjective term

Na when the whole Africa and Europe dey crase for Naija music, na dat time you dey shame. Lmao

The way some people spew fuckery is quite amazing . . .
Good music died with Michael Jackson . . . hiphop died with Tupac . . . dancing died with James Brown.

If you're going to criticise stuff, then at least let's be reasonable about it. . .  when last did MJ release good music??
To attach an overly subjective view to an understandably sentimental matter as MJ's death is fine. . . but expecting us to take you serious is impossible.

It always works, let's praise the past and criticise the present, let's embrace the distant and tear apart the one that's right next to us, insult the young and respect the old. . . it's a trend, and it's just daft in my own opinion.

Why can't we judge artistes for their music and not where they're from, or how old they are??
Didn't Michael Jackson's era have wack people like Vanilla Ice . . . I listen to Slick Rick now and I swear, Eedris Abdulkareem will outrap that negro.

You criticise Nigerian music, but I'm still waiting for a plonker to come out and say Dare Art Alade is crap . . . or come here and say M.I and Modenine are not good enough because they're Nigerian.
Or maybe come out to say K'naan isn't good because he's relatively new. . .na there we go get beef.

Bluespice u know dat word was uncalled for

#itsnaija

eldee

i say it again

though good music was fadin wen mj was alive

the rest followed him to the grave! and soo did all hope for the future

yes there has always been whack artists, but im very sure there has never been an era where the charts were full of em!!

there has always been an odd, aqua, aaron carter, wierdspanishgaygrp, one hit wonders and the likes- standard- im sorry but now the music scene is concentrated wiv em and its just gonna be one barbie campaign to another!!
from silicone to silverscreen- strippin to stardom its not even about talent anymore!
its not about art
its not about creativity
its not the lyrics
the beautiful voice

its all abt whos got the autotune, the colorful wig, the bigger booty, the suicide when it aint hard rock, whos poppin the expensive champagne whos smoking what, whos drivin this shit wearing that crap!

im sawy but muzic iz DEAD! #dealwithit!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is quite smart . . . an industry that has existed for hundreds of years is dead because some skinny guy had a cardiac arrest??
Actually, I think you're right.

yeap- thats the way it is

ayettymama:

yeap- thats the way it is

Please enlighten us more . . . when does Information Technology die??
Should I start getting ready for Bill Gates' death too??

I dont care what happened when MJ died, but actually, Naija music industry is actually getting dump and silly. Its now easy to sell albums in naija, just get a party beat from Terry G or K-solo(or mat of fact any dumb Bleep) and drop some incantations on it. We are rapidly loosing the values of good music in naija but anyways big ups to the ones keeping it real . People like Mode9,M.I, Lara George, Sound Sultan and some others.

according to the legend eldee we should stop complaining

just continue to bob brain

i say suddenly i can feel the fingers rubbin me all this happened suddenly LAIT!!!!

If u list ur top ten favorite songs it is likely six to eight of them will be on my " whack" list. Either I'm an unintelligent idiot with bad taste in music, or ur theory is severely flawed.


Live and let live.

I'm saying the whole concept of 'good music' is extremely subjective. . . and to tie it to events in a certain time or place is extremely idiotic.

Haha. My iq when I was seven dwarfs yours now. I've gotten much much much smarter since   . Now go and play with your transformers
