is hip-hop and rap the only music genres out there? why is the nairaland music section taken over by hip hop?
Moderator lailaiboy, I know you love hiphiop but can you try to promote and encourage some music diversity in this section? The music section is not functioning at the capacity of it's potential IMO. there are other big music genres that will attract members to this section if they are more represented ie coupe decale, hip life, rnb, gospel etc
Thank you.

You're doing a very great job moderating this section by the way. And I acknowledge the effort you've put into this forum. won't try to put myself in your shoes.
I just think there's room for improvement esp. in diversifying the music forum.

Thanks. . .You kinda have a point. . . .But, I think you blaming the wrong guy. . . . . I rely on people like you (users) to start up this threads,  . . . . .And if you do create these threads. . . .Do i close them? Absolutely NOT. . . . Guess i'll have to start creating the threads myself

And i have seen thread about gospel, loads about R N B and offcourse Coupe decale. . . . .You can search  . . . . .

Thanks for the comment though. ,  . . .But really It should have been directed to the users. . .

No hiphop no music .That's my feeling anyway

Let those who love another genre of music cone start their own threads . . we might contribute if we like it, and u know what, ? Starting a new topic doesnt cost a dime !!!

yea I agree with you. but opening the music forum and seeing the whole list filled with hip hop and rap, it can be intimidating to a poster who will assume that he/she will have no audience by deciding to post alternative stuff.
but yea I agree with you . members do play the most part in creating the personality of the forum but you can use your power as moderator to tweak things nah.  u know like those equal opportunity employees  lol

says who?

this is how blacks are being fooled everytime.

My dear, there really is no point, you will most likely have mobs of the hip hop infatuated posters trying to hack down your thread with ignorant claims of the unusual genre being either satanic or weird or only a few supporting posters will actually reply thus leaving the thread to die away  shamefully into the background, it's a cruel world.

It's like a different specie to some of them, as in aliens are attacking their beautiful music section. What ever happened to 'we come in peace'?

For hip hop fans, it is like a religion. We are very passionate about it which is why new threads with all kinds of heated debates spring up all the time.

What the hell are we going to talk about in R&B? Rihanna's new outfit? please   

@ topic
thats why i hardly come here anymore

Eeyaaa

start a thread, as long as it is not country music or classical, i will be very interested.
i agree that a diversity will do this section a lot of good. especially for those of us who hip hop is just a third or fourth love in terms of musical taste.

seconded

@poster

It is people like you who make up the music section. Set up an interesting thread and people will probably contribute.

It just seems that the hip hop heads are more proactive than others

but its sooooo hard to start a thread when you know you'll get little or no response if its not mode 9 this or rugged man that

Have you tried it yet? or you jus following IBkaye's lead. . . .

am quite surprised at what Ibkaye said. . . .She gets good response from her threads . . .the hausa songs. . . .the new 9ice song . . . . .and so on. . . .2 , 3 pages thats good enough response as long as it doesnt turn into a chat box


Besides. . . . If your topic is kinda weird. . . .everyone will just view and pass . . . .

If you are too scared too scared to create a topic. . .dnt worry i'll do if for ya!

@poster

If you post, I will drop comments just for the hell of it. If people don't join in then we can switch to PLAN B which is to insult Mode9.  Java & khanye will be on your thread faster than the speed of light 

The most popular genre of music in Nigeria are: Hip-Hop, Rap, Dancehall, Reggaeton, 'Yori-Yori' & 'Pass-Me-Ur-Love'.
R&B and Pop are slowly dying or non-existent in Nigeria.
Rock, country and classical are nowhere to be found. If you even try doing it, no Alaba marketer will be interested.
So that's the reason why so many hip-hop threads exist in NL.

Those genre has a lil comma with most nigerians. . . . lol. . . .i dnt listen to rock, country . . . .i'ld rather pick up a traditional igbo music and listen. . . .lol

rapjunkie. . . .see? i like igbo music. . . .abasi mba! lol

Insted of bitching, start your own thread. It's not so hard to start a thread. If you don't get the responses, it's because the people are not interested in your taste of music. Too bad.

@C2H5OH
Wow! Easy on the foul language dude.
Its just that rock, country and classical are not popular at all in Naija.

U wan cause Hip Hop crisis? There's no Hip Hop police to check on things o. Perhaps we'll call in Chamillonaire for that. I hear say na Naija pikin.

Anyway sha when it comes to that, am solidly behind you, gbam!

U're right, its a different species, but the truth is that we're embedding that species into our kind of music and for those that follow the music trend, they must have noticed that soon enough the music industry in Nigeria will experience a drastic change and i can say it's moving towards hip-hop, no matter how it's being dished out.

They might not be, but it doesn't mean some people don't listen to it. I personally LOVE classical and rock (soft rock).

@poster
Post the thread first and see where that leads you. I don't think there's any website that rates music in Nigeria cus if there is, am sure you'll see people rating the other genres.

@ Oyinda personally i feel ur pain, but all we can do is try and start up a thread and hopefully it can get as many replies as possible. Another advice be a consistent poster and u might just gain their credibility and next time u post evryone would hop on ur thread 2 post cos they know ur ID.

PS: if ur topic is all the more appealing to a lot there is no way u wont get responses, I hv gotten plenty replies on some topics at the same time 0 replies on some so its like that. If more of u females get involved in d music section, u would have a great number of people wiv similar ideolgies on music. That way u wont need 2 rely on the hiphop mode9/rugged fans for reply.

WELL SAID, OTHER MUSIC LOVERS SHOULD DEVELOP THERE CATEGORY


NIGERIA CAN BOAST OF OTHER MUSIC GENRE THAT ROCKS

CLASSICAL MUSIC IS ONE VERY INTERESTING


AND HIGHLIFE

I have a complaint too . . . Football threads are too many in the Sports Section
I reckon we should close down the Sports Section till the moderators create threads on rowing and cricket.
You know what, I think we should ban threads on the demonic English Premier League, it intimidates we lovers of Badminton

Hehehe, eldee, well done o. You had to come hide here to complain abi? I don't bite.  .  .not always anyway,lol.

My answer for you is exactly the same as lalaboi's. Not saying more 'cos this is the wrong place to raise Sports issues.

Crizzle. . . it's sarcasm, haba . . . moi?? Badmin who??
Abeg oohh, I'm a Gooner till the end of football comes

Oops, my bad. My sarcasm radar's rusty due to insufficient use.  .  .that's what happens when people want you to be nice and all smiley all the time.

Gotta get my rage back!

p.s. . .lalaboi nor vex. we apologize for the slight deviation.

eldee take ur sport complaint to the sport section abeg

Please make an APALA section too.
