Nigeria music? I hope you are not referring to the current auto beats called Afro Hip-pop? The current beats dominating Nigerian music are beats copied from the Ghanaian Hip-Life. Nigerian musicians started adopting the beat (which is a mixture of highlife and hip-pop) after collaborations between some Nigerian and Ghanaian musicians like Tony Tetuila/Tic Tac, VIP and Tuface etc as well as exposure to Ghanaian music on Channles like Music Africa which started in the early 2000s. Nowadays, when u listen to songs from Nigerian artists like Duncan Mighty etc, you will see the influence of the Ghanaian Hip-Life style dominating the rythmn |

Well, since I dig rap and rock, I go for American music while giving big ups to Muna, Eva, MI, Naeto C, Ice Prince, Skills and their likes. Terry G is the worst thing to happen to Nigerian music. Word! |

Nigerians are doin their best but how many of you ever saw American artistes mimicking Nigerian musicians? Do Americans try to copy Nigerian assent? Do they dance like us ? I know some Americans can play with a band and even play some instruments. How many Nigerian stars can make music without computer sound? And someone said Kanye West ran to Don Jazzy and D'Banj. Did K West come to Nigeria? I think our Nigerian singers know enough not to behave like the Eneke bird which challenged its personal god to a single combat after a heavy meal of akpu and Oha soup |

amblors: Hm. I'm just wondering why you would prefer to listen to music with lesser quality, when the one with higher quality is right by the corner. You're comparing clothes to Music? Hm. Interesting. This is music we're talking about here you know. Music is everywhere. You don't necessarily need money to get the music of your choice. My point is if you had the opportunity to wear "designer" clothes all the time (indoors and outdoors), wouldn't you do it? Same goes to Music, if you had the opportunity to listen to quality music (American) 24/7, wouldn't you do it? Well, you do have the oppotunity, why are you still jamming to Nigerian songs 70% of the time? |

i'm not gonna keep talking in a loop. as you keep arguing in your own loop. i rest my case. |

Baba_Eleko: Will you shut the 4uck up?! What sensible point have you posted since the beginning of this thread? You couldn't even differentiate "can" from "can't". Dullard! Upon all the a$$-whooping I gave you, you still have the audacity to quote me. You're an ****** for that! Non- sense! Amblors claims he's in love with Nigerian music. He listens to Nigerian songs 70% of the time. Whereas, he believes American music is by far better. Why isn't he listening to American music 70% of the time then? It's not asif American music is hard to find. Why does he prefer "shittiness" over "quality"? Why does he prefer "second class" to "first class"? His stand doesn't make sense to me, and since he can't justify his points, the civilized thing to do is to 'free' him. And that, I have done. So Mr. baba eleko, what the 4uck is your problem? Arrow! Btw Amblors, if I may ask, why do you love Nigerian music? Last question. |

Nigeria music now is equally good as the americans. The only edge american have is just better gadget/equipment for production. Interm of lyrics and even rhyme i like nigeriA music even. saying naija music is all about women etc, american music too is same even there is worse. So don't underrate naija talents. i am sure if some or our artises are in america having same access to everithing those guys there have, they will surpass them. |
Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by experts: 7:57pm On Dec 29, 2011 |
naija music is better in my opinion |

Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by MrGlobe(m): 10:58pm On Dec 30, 2011 |
So this day will finally come when some low-life music taste individuals will put american structured music in the same sentence with Nigerian gutter music. Smh. Why not be objective with your comparison and compare the best 'nigerian music' with the wackest 'american music' overhyping rubbish is a bitch. Worst post on this forum EVER |
Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by Nobody: 2:11am On Dec 31, 2011 |
There is no difference between American music and Nigerian music. They're both mediocre at best with a few glimmers and shimmers of talent every once in a while. They've sold their souls to the music devil promising them $$$$$. If you no believe, then go ask Djinee lol. mikeapollo said that Nigerian music dominating now are beats taken from Ghana, the American music now are sampled Europop and Eurodance beats that once dominated in the 1990s and early 2000s. The complaints that Nigerians have about the Nigerian industry are also voiced in the US. Monotonous beats with the blandest of lyrics. It's a bad time for music in my opinion. This could be looked at in a "half-empty or half-full?" perspective. Half-empty for me. Nigerian music and American music are equally bad. |
Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by MrGlobe(m): 7:49am On Jan 01, 2012 |
^ yeah, agree with you that american music is dropping in quality but it is stupid to compare it with Nigeria music. Folks who dont hear american accent and feel shortchanged are the ones hyping the noise called nigeria music that lacks value. The difference btw both worlds is that of heaven and earth. In a country where the best musicians sing songs like asampkokoto, akpako etc. Anybody that posted this doesnt even know what is american music in the first place |
Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by Nobody: 7:59am On Jan 01, 2012 |
Mr. Globe: Best? Or Most popular? Lol. The most popular musicians in the US are singing about menage a trois, hardcore partying, hangovers, etc. A lot of the A-List musicians in both regions lack substance, especially in the lyrics department lol. May I add, there's nothing wrong with singing in pidgin, but I can only take so many "I dey feel you die" or "Your backa don make me kolo" songs lol. Just like in Naija, you have to dig deep to find true talent for Yankee. |
Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by MrGlobe(m): 8:42am On Jan 01, 2012 |
I dont have a problem with singing in pidgin. I only do when its meaningless like those two I mentioned. One thing with american music is they are expanding their scope to satisfy the taste of different fans across the globe. What you call commercialization. You cant take the talent away from them anyway which is what is missing in Nigeria music. Without beat, can you listen to a music from nigeria? |

Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by Pi0neer: 9:53am On Jan 03, 2012 |
Not possible. Nigeria's music isn't unique, and is not ear-pleasing outside Nigeria. The music is poorly produced, and I'm sure you hardly get many people outside Africa listening to it. South African music is richer, and has more variety. We're just experiencing success in the hip hop genre, and the music is more or less a knock-off. |
Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by safarigirl(f): 5:23pm On Jan 09, 2012 |
As far as American rock music goes ǡŋ₫ country, they beat the Nigerian music scene hands down. That much, I can admit. Still, it boils down to preference rather than taste exactly |
Re: Nigerian Music Is Better Than America's by bilms(m): 11:22am On Mar 16, 2012 |
that is your opinion..you may care to bring our the comparison |
