There is no hype in the world that will change my perception of that song: it is an average song. I don't get this herd mentality -- everybody, essence essence as if the song is one genius song like that. Damn.

The song is cool but i give it to that lady that sang with him...her voice gave the song a lift and nice beats too. Wizzy and Davido are really doing us proud.

Evergreen star boy

One of the best to come out of Africa if I may say. He knows his onions, understands what cuts across board and gives a hit on it. If u want to remain relevant in today's music world, sit ur ass down, analyse the music trend and what listeners want, then wrap ur song around it with clean and rich concept.

Nothing like wizzy. Babanla won

It is legendary , why won’t you say herd mentality when you’ve never been to a studio

Am so pumped right now. For those of us wey actually sabi music, we know who ne-yo is in love songs. Wizkid is the granddaddy of frog voice.
Frog voice can market anything and sell, including shit. I give him that.

Respect

We are the minority
