Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba?

A great man once said, 'who the cap fits, let him wear it'

it never stops being what it is, your statements give certain things away and the word that you claim is tired is a nice succinct way of telling you what you are.

afrocynic.if that's what u use for somebody tribalistic.I think the word "yoruba" is synonimous to that.I have been in lagos before.it's all tribalism and shit.especially when they see ibos.u guys don't travel outside your place.y'all only have LOCAL EXPERIENCE.so, get it off your big head.we still BETTER.

                                       IBOS,UNTOUCHABLE
VERSE I
those tha don't like ibos,i call them FUNNY HATERS/
we are bizness driven,call us MONEY MAKERS/
we get hungry today to build TOMORROW/
u others party today,the next day u are in SORROW/
riding thru streets of lagos,i see them JEALOUS/
saying ibos too hold and they no fit SMELL US/
our first orientation is get money,GET EGOS/
their first orientation is how to HATE IBOS/
we come your place,make bucks,take it BACK HOME/
u're stuck in your place doing nothing like a PACKED STONE/
now they're tribalistic cos they don't TRAVEL OUT/
u don't know about my side,close your GRAVEL MOUTH/
they hate to mix up with ibos cos they said it's HARZADOUS/
u all live opposite and fake lives like a PARADOX/
cos when ibos are saying the country should BRAKE-UP/
that's when those that despise ibos are saying let's MAKE-UP/







VERSE 2
just like y'all,we can never be HYPOCRITS/
I'm not fake like OBJ,i don't reel out RHETORICS/
they said ibo man's heart is the heart of a LION/
cos this world may be hard,but to ibos,it's a ZION/
we make the best out of the WORST SITUATION/
"believe u'll make it"it's our FIRST INTUITION/
no doubt ibo is made of abundant TALENTS/
i'm a real example,my crew are hiphop SERGENTS/
we rule movies,hiphop and FOOTBALL/
despite their hatred on us,we STOOD TALL/
We don't rely on juju,we get the KNACK-TO-MAKE IT/
i can't stand infront of a babalawo STACK-ON-NAKED/
AFROCYNIC,i know it pains in your HEART/
this is sth u wished u never be the 1st to START/
this is the deepest thing that i EVER WROTE/
ibos untouchable is sth y'all should BETTER NOTE/



I'M JUST FULL OF SKILLS.THAT'S WHAT IBO CAN PRODUCE.NOTHING BETTER THAN THIS EVER COME OUT OF YORUBA LAND.mess U IF U THINK OTHERWISE.OR U CAN SUCK MY PHAT privates IF U ARE A GUY. BUT IF U ARE A GIRL,U CAN SWALLOW MY SPERM WHILE I HAVE MY ORGASM IN your FAT-privates-SUCKING-MOUTH.I'M THE SHIT Y'ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.NOW Y'ALL IBO RIVALS ARE WEARING A MARTYRED LOOK.COS I CAN SEE THAT OBVIOUSLY.Y'ALL BETTER GO ON,DO your PARTYING,COS THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE ALL GOOD AT.AND STOP HATING ON US.STUPID HOES

Chinekeee, u don finish Afrocynic don't worry he won't post anymore, the next time he hears nairaland he will remember he has legs.

Then throw some punch lines.

Was just thinking of this  before reading this.

Why Do Igbo Artistes Sing In Yoruba?why nt complian about language,i think dey should  sing in their mother language,or may be they think much people wouldn;t buy it,

What a Silly question!!!!

My answer to your question is: why then did you chose to publish this your question in English language?? Abi your Yorubal language, wouldn't it do?  Besides, is English language your mother tongue?  Once you are able to answer these question then will you be able to realise why anyone could sing or publish their music in any language they fancy or prefer.  Music, they say is a universal language though you may not understand the wordings/language used but hey, the beats goes on!!!  It means, you rock it anyway whether you know/understand the wordings or not.  Grow up, young man!!!

@afrocynic
 waiting for u to make another stupid comment about igbos again

naija na naija. what difference does it make?

I wonder why all this artist must sing with yoruba thang in it,  lll blizz, 2 short, rugged man e.t.c have that thing in common,  We had this same argument a long time ago me and ma friends. Its just that it baffles and i'm Waiting for the day an artist will come up without having the yoruba thing cos its hard to c a yoruba artist singing in another language, and nobody should say its lack of creativity! All those artist using yoruba are using it cos they want to sell thier album and not cos of any creative thing in 'em, 

Why did D'banj sing in Igbo?

@wildone D'banj sang in igbo! Yeah i know but do u think he did it just to sell his album? I can tell u he did outa creativity and as an act of been dynamic as an artist,  Using yoruba to sing aint a crime, but what i meant by my earlier post is that most of them use yoruba to win audience and nothing else cos they believe if they cant win the heart of lagos they cant make it!!

 

If you are doubting whether nigga raw sold or made it with his style of music then you have no idea what you are talking about.

@sosoboy why are you talking to the P? U sound too aggressive to have a point! If i may ask, how many places have u been outside lagos? Maybe your village then where else,  I love music n aint tribalistic and none of my post point to that n if u just heard the word "tribalistic" trying using it when appropriate,  Gosh u make me sick cos most of u just post from "this one say that one say!" go get your fact straight,  Nigga raw is aight but i'm saying 9ice cut across so much more, !
