I have thought of dis 2 cos it's quite long the group it lost fame.

Just a Nigerian syndrome, people, things and institutions start well, and begin to go downhill after a while

from the little i know about music most musicians feature in other peoples songs and tracks but i have not seen any song in which style plus featured i think this is one of their problems also nigerian musicians should learn that everyone cannot be a star most of this upcoming artiste should try to sell some of their songs to those that have a name and i think they stand a better chance then cause i believe anybody would want to listen to any song by tuface ,MI and others

Alright,OK. I just don't get it when people say party jamz are it.That stuff dragged us back so badly.ThanksNa not my first post.You are right but no i am not skunky.I was ayowande but the ID kept failing.No i was not vituperating or anything like that.I don't know your orientation at all but it rankles me to no end when i meet the AY.com kind of people.Nigerian music evolved and got to a stage where you always expected it to get better(from the african queen era,the busybody era) only to see it slide down so badly that foreign sounds got a ground here.I am not against party Jams, for crying out loud "enter the place" and "implication" are serious party jamz! P-SQ will always do party jamz.So the point is don't drag styl plus down that lane.They veered from what they are know for to the so called "party jamz"("imagine" that was their first attempt and that mentality worked against them just like Mikel Obi's defensive mentality is robbing him of his attacking talents) Djinee is still here and making waves,GT is still here,Asa is still here,Dare(now darey) is still here.Stay true to your calling and don't play to the gallery.Do you thing and be true to it.Banky is still here.So many minds have commented here and i respect all of them.
@X-factoria:Please accept my Sincere apology.  

Its ok guy, no offence. This is nairaland, shit happens here!

That said, if you re-read my post, I also referred to most party jamz as nonsense. But that will not deny the fact that that is what sells most. How many Ashas do we have in the music industry? You mentioned Dare Art Alade. Does Dare stick to a particular genre? He sings all sorts too. His style is undefined.

Lets go to the international scene. Many R & B artists in the US still try to do party jamz once in a while because thats what makes you get to the crowd easily.

Style Plus need to add those nonsense once in a while. They should borrow a leaf from R. Kelly, D-Banj, P-Square, 9ice, Tu Baba et al.

Simple they ran out of style

The stylplus of 2004,2006 is not the stylplus of today again. They just couldn't keep up with the heat of the industry anymore.

[b][/b][/color][color=#550000] main i don't what really happen to them all we naija is life to go on no bi so [color=#000099][/color]

I dont think no one Jazzed them I guess they jazzed themselves because of lack of wisdom and vision. In entertaimnet world their ia always a place called an entertainment centre or base I mean where it is "happening", Lagos is the base of the entertainment industry in Nigeria is either we belief it or not it is a fact and this is where most of this guys stay, see each other, rapour together, connect together easily BUT when someone out of ignorant say he or she want to stay out of real touch with guys in the same industry no doubt about it he will fail and become a lone ranger.

An advise was given to them before but they ignore it Abuja is a base for govt. seat, a base for administrative stuffs, a base to seek political connection BUT not and never a base for entertainment so I think is their cup of tea anyway.

Styl plus ko, method minus ni. . .next pls!

I think they confused "Patronage of Entertainment" with "Manufacturing of Entertainment". It is no doubt that Abuja patronises entertainment than any city in Nigeria. It is only in Abuja you will find that "ALL" the clubs runs Monday-Monday and are always full to the teeth all night of the week but that should not be confused with the real manufacturing house of Entertainment which is Lagos.

If they are serious enough about their career (that is, if they take it as a career anyway), they should move to lagos. M.I did, P-Square did, all the big stars did. Majority of them even came in from abroad, D'Banj and Jazzy, Banky, Eldee to name a few and these are people making it in the industry now and that's seriousness. Even in America before the successful advent of coast-oriented genre like Crunk and all that, all the big stars had to move from where ever they to New York and the ones in the movie industry must move to Hollywood, as simple as that.

Enough said, its left to them.

real talk, u have said it all, lagos is the music capital

Nobody jazzed them anything. They just need a change of everything from location to management. The mountain can't come to mohammed now, let them ask their mates. You can't be a laundry man and hate the sight of water.

Make dem dey for north dia dey sing "everybody move your body now" for all the malams wey dey sale gworo!

mallam wey dey sell goro no sabi dance?

 ;d

Mallam wey dey sell gworo sabi dance but na Dan Maria dem wan dance, no be "4 years don waka"

Although dem been like "Gongo Aso" when it was raving, you go hear dem Ahjia saying "Gbongbo Aso, Gbongbo Aso" na the only thing wey dem sabi for the song be that "gbongbo aso"

For me their problem is due to 2 major issues

1. Their video quality is nothing to write home about. believe it or not musical videos have their ways of imprinting songs in our memories and when you are put off by a musical video, sometimes it hard to like the track for which the video has been short (run away comes to my mind).

2. They need to be more versatile in thier delivery. At the moment they are very predictable and when you listen to their album,.one tends to get bore easily because the songs, beat and vocal style all sound thesame, I guess it's because they work with thesame producer who's not capable of giving them different sound in each of their tracks

No doubt those guys are MASSIVELY talent (even more than the likes of p square and dbanj in my view), but they really need to step their game up and I believe relocating to lagos has got very little to with success in music as far as album is concern but maybe in the area of corporate sponsorship and concert then Lagos is the place to be.

Nigerian syndrome ke very dumb post.

what goes up will surely come down someday. Simple. Regardless of the situation.

The timeline depends on how much effort you put in and a stroke of luck.

its not only in naija that musicians lose their style ooooo!

They need to go solo. point blank

so it mean dez shld come to lagoz ane b hw music is goin nt ABUJA!!!

Funny how people mention Lagos as if when they released Olufunmi, they were in Idumota. Location is not a problem with a good distribution and management system. Asa does not live in Lagos but she still sells and attends shows. Styl Plus is like any other music group, it takes a lot of discipline for a group to be at the top except you are the Beetles or Rolling stones. At some point members can become divided based on their art direction, that I feel is the problem they have.

I quite agree with you on a fair note, but then, in an industry of this kind(music), peculiarity is not always the same. Success has no universal standard, and like i said in an earlier comment, the problem is duly on lack of investment and vision by the stake-holders in the business, which is why piracy can not be done away with. Location plays a great deal in business. You can't run a good farm (growing crops on commercial scale)business in a city like lagos, just like you can't launch an acting career in your village. You need to move to where things are happening and the people involved are concentrated. By that, you get a good understanding of how the game is officiated, and the opportunities get open for u to exploit. Eminem moved from Detroit to LA.

Are you JOEY? One of their Ex-Managers?

I sincerely don't believe that in this case location is a problem for them since their first album still sold when they operated in Abuja. Distribution is the key. Its the same reason why 51 Upper Iweka is the hub for Nollywood movies, no one does movies in Onitsha. I feel their problem is internal commitment and professionalism. Remember Plantashun boys? Kush? They were based in Lagos but at some point every one went there own way.
