Hardunnii: In terms of beat, naija isnt bad, but lyrically, they make me puke, though am in naija, my itunes is fulll of american songs like, foo fighters, lady antebelum, eminem, taylor swift, bruno mars, cold play, n my numb 1 brit adele

odiaero: @Op, u must have tinkle tinkle little stars installed in your brains, how can u say naija musics is better that american musics when nigerians are copying americans?  Very soon u will tell us Naija movies are better than American movies, you are home alone

bilms: even in US,there are noisy songs,infact,most songs from upcoming artists in us are noisy songs. the same with nigeria..

millionbuc: Debanj and the other artist running to America are going there for capital. Talent is universal. However capital and opportunity is not. Musical preference also depends on your taste. Americans love rap becos they hav less challenges, and so need more content to stimulate them. Nigerians prefare dance hall becos we are poor and need to dance our sorrows away. U cant expect lil wyn to do dance hall better than terry g, and vice versa. comprehendi

Gbengadavid: wat i wil like to say abt nigeria music in a nutshell compare to US music over there...
For us to get update wit international music wil need to stop d idea of making noising song,running dancing beat,common and cheapless lyrics like go down low,wabamijo,shake ur bumbum,wa komole,etc,repeating of chorus nd same verse til d end of d song,the idea of just work into d studio nd do any hw song weather gud lyrics or nt so far it is danceable.the local mentality of make 1 or 2hits nd tinks u r on top of d world,drop 1single dat luckly hit then u run out of d game.
So for us to get up there up their we need to sit back nd do good a tyte song wit a great lyrics,wen writing ur song dont tink of only nigeria alone wil listen to it,let it globally so wen pple around d world listen to it they can gain one or two tins in ur song,always make sure u send a msg in ur song...i understand a nigerian music today dat if u dont do a dance song u r nt gonna sell bt dat doesnt make u to stat repeatin ur chorus nd ur verse til d end of d song or no even gud lyric,remember IN DA CLUB by 50CENT wen he came,he didnt make a runnin beat or repeatin or sayin rubbish lyrics yet d song is danceable nd its widely known,nd some many like dat...i tink wil shud give chance to a talented one nd nt d pple dat here 4 d fame.so we need a lot to do 4 our song to compare to US nt just a goverment tin alone.tanks

dabrake: Our 9ja 'performers' only sabi sing about woman jooh. If no be woman, e go be as God don bless them or as wuruwuru and bad belle wan kill them.

bilms: Hello guys, i have been wondering why no has talked about this,or am i the only who think american artists are not any better than our nigerian artists? Let's face it, i have been listening to american music for some time before finally fallen inlove with the nigerian musics,but ever since our local artists stole my heart,i have no regrete what so ever. Comparing the nigerian artist to their americans counter part,i do not see the americans in anyway better than our artists. Be it in the rap game or singing,in the content of lyrics or anything, nigerian artists are better in my opinion. Some times when they play the american music and i compare it with ours,i found nigerian songs better in most cases now. How come some of us are always negative and feeling infirior when we are actually superior?

Cogito: It doesn't need to be a competition. You can like Nigerian music as well as American music, Chinese music, Spanish music and whatever. At the end of the day it's rather unproductive to compare Seun Kuti to Gucci Mane, wouldn't you agree?

Edit: If it's a case of which industry is more advanced, then obviously it's America.

Effiko: are we stil seriously arguing abt dis ?

sexysunnyb:
why do you think Dbanj and Don Jazzy Run to America ?

crackhouse:
What's nigerian music?. Most of em are fu*ked up. They sing trash and they make a lot of meaningless noise. I don't even have a copy of any of em at home. Don't get me wrong now, even though i hate em, i still like a couple of em like 2face, duncan mighty, mode 9 and Asa but i still got no copy of em. As for Others, it irritates.
