Hmmmmm, this thread seems calm, let me stir some controversy in here; Faze and Tuface's Albums DO NOT qualify for the award; their albums where released sometime between September and October 2006(Remember the year in Review is (DECEMBER 2006 – NOVEMBER 2007) so what are their names and songs doing on that list  Secondly Timaya deserves just more than one nomination |

Olu Maintain & Psquare do not deserve their respective nomination for the Artiste of the year category Take Olu for example, just Yahoozee and he is up for Artiste of the year? How? Fine he merits something, but not a nominaion for Artiste of the year. He got a perfect nomination slot in the Best New Artiste category; this is where he acually belongs, no the former. The Award organisers goofed when they nominated Olu for both Artiste of the year category & New Artiste of the Year category Anyway, I think he is favored to win the Song of the year category, cos the only threat to his Yahoozee is Faze's Kolomental. As for Psquare, they weren't that felt in the duration under review, not until they released their Game Over Album in November 2007, so i dont see how they merit a nomination in the Artiste of the Year Category. Need i say that FAZE should be on the Artiste of the Year Category?(Even though him & Tuface aren't eligible for the Awards) To the Video of the year Category; again Faze deserves a nomination here, he got the best videos in the duration under review, until Psquare's Do Me came on board Timaya should be in the New Artiste of the Year Category, it should have been a staraight battle between Timaya(if he were there) and Olu Maintain. I dont think Sasha deserves that gift, for how long will she remain a new artiste? Forever? I took a good look at all the categories,conspicously missing is the Special Recognition Award Category,  maybe i need to put my glasses on  Best R'n'B/Pop Album Category; Niyola? Does she have an album? Mode9's Album should be on the Album of the Year Category Anyway Nice job by Ayo Animashaun & Co, but they would do better if they shun Sentiments & patronage. |

@ olayokun thumbs up good job, at least u are informing and not deforming folks  Hmmmmm, this thread seems calm, let me stir some controversy in here; Faze and Tuface's Albums DO NOT qualify for the award; their albums where released sometime between September and October 2006(Remember the year in Review is (DECEMBER 2006 – NOVEMBER 2007) so what are their names and songs doing on that list is this just for controversy purposes or your info is meant to be taken seriously? anyways FOR THE RECORDS, GRASS TO GRACE WAS released in december 2006.
Secondly Timaya deserves just more than one nomination
in what category? rap? pop? artist of the year? song of the year? , come on,even the people of GAZA deserve PEACE  i dnt think a right thinking sasha would appreciate that REVELATION OF THE YEAR NOMINATION. Shes bin in the business for a pretty long time. what revalation are we talking about here? is hip hop world trying to say that she has just made an impact on the music scene after such a long time? ? hmmmmmmmmmmm,no wonder OD [overdose] didnt have to many nice words to say when he was asked to comment on winning the award last year. |

Ebutte metta ke!!! How can these guys nominate a copied song for an award,that song doesn't deserve airplay talkless of an award.Is this what we are promoting in our music? copyright infringment, coping foreign artists and i think faze deserved a spot in the best video category and sasha isn't a new artist.Anyway, I aint surprised,bullshit is always invovled with nigerian music awards and thats why i dont believe in it.I know sasha and mode9 are pals with hiphopmagazine so they are bound to get nominations or even awards.@jeje i think timaya deserved artist of the year and song of the year nominations.Two of his songs really shaked 2007.dem mama and timaya

.@jeje i think timaya deserved artist of the year and song of the year nominations.Two of his songs really shaked 2007.them mama and timaya
Thanx Sect, that isn't even all, TIMAYA should also be on the NEW ARTISTE OF THE YEAR CATEGORY infact that award is for him, cos never in the history of Naija music industry has an a new unknown artiste blown-up and sold-out, his feat is unprecendented; sold over 2 Million copies(without a single video) and still counting. In case u dont know every single track on that dude's album was a hit, not just a yahoozee in ten tracks. TIMAYA HOT LIKE FIRE!! |

@Baro
If u don't like Olu, simply say u don't like him. . . u saying he doesn't deserve the award because he has only one song is totally false. I have the guy's whole album and the whole thing is in constant rotation on my playlist. I think he's good and deserves the nomination and award. Thats the problem when a particular song becomes such a huge success on an album because people tend to expect that the follow up songs/singles should blow up as much, which in most cases doesn't happen. It really doesn't take away from the fact that the other songs are good.

@ Me Tu, don't u think you should comment on the thread rather than replying Baro?
As for liking Olu or not, it's simple; i like Olu, just that he doesn't merit a nomination for Artiste of The Year Category, Simple

mr baro,
grass2grace and independent were both released in dec. 2006.
olu deserve the song of the year,although he is nowhere near the album of the year.
psquare only deserve the best video and nothing more considering the period in review,i think they can wait till next year b4 they can start to reap what they are sowing now.
all these can happen if the organisers are taken the period under review into cognisanze.
