olajide_07: I think after he went a little quiet, we heard he traveled to sell his album internationally, in holland, blackky took over the music scene with rosy and trust unilag people he was the first student artist then they hyped him, God he was good, then came alex zitto tickle me man, around the corner was the mandators, then adewale ayuba (Mr Johnson) bursted into the scene, the dude that just came back from the U.S then, from nowhere came shina peters and that was all we heard about the earlier ones it was just in the early 90's we started hearing daniel wilson and rag muffin - he was like the local shaba ranks chakademus and pliers
All we hear now is see gobe,alingo,azonto, nothing really unique is coming out again,dbanj was bringing out a concept which would have classed him differently but with the trash he is turning out now I don't think he is it. Only 2face has been able to hold on to his style which stands him out

I remember these lines: let's take some tym to bubble and shuffle. Afterall na hustle and bustle.
Evrybody wanna celebrate n nobody wanna talk abt age.
And if u wan go ask a lagos mamma say how many day she go celebrate? She go holla and holla and shout back at you 'na wetin be ur bizness?'
i fit celebrate 21 today ........ and so on and so forth.

First rap lines i eva memorised, playing that cassette in an old school radio, pausing and rewinding again and again to get every word.

Your head they there Bro... especially on Evi Edna Ogholi, there was a track she did on a street child hawking(trying to expose the fate of children used for street trading) cant really place my head on the track,children hawking all kinds of stuffs on the street and high ways is still a major problem in Africa today.

They were all very talented. But Raskimo was the lion of the jungle, he claimed far more awards after awards. Then we had Oritz Wiliki, Majek Fashek, Madators, Alex Zito,Felix Liberty, Edna Ogholi, Alex Zito, Oliver De Coke, Onyeka Owenu, Shina Peters etc. In South Africa, Shakaskaka and Lucky Dube were rocky too. Then suddenly Blacky came with Rossie. Daniel Wilson too.

Even as Chakademus and Pliers, Shabaranks, Maxi Priests, Boz II men, Whitney, Michael Bolton, Phil Collins, Telvin Campbel, Bryiam Admas, Toni Braxton and a doxen others were blasting away internationally. And the ever relevant Michael Jackson was chipping in some occasionally. It was very interesting in the late 80s and early 90s.

The days when music made sense. Peterside Ottong, late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister (Fuji Garbage Series I, II and III), Charly Boy (Be my Nwata Miss, 1990, etc), Yvonne Chaka Chaka (with her 1988 hit song "Umqombothi"wink, Brenda Fassie (Heroes Party, Black President, Wedding Day), Junior and Pretty, Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Emphasis, Edmund Spice, late Isaac Black...too many of them to mention.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS MEN!

Yeah, quite depressing actually. Some lyrics these days have really gone to the dogs. ....shake your bumbum, ...my music is sweeter than bobbi and the usual 'I was once a pauper now I roll in money'.

Just wonder what the artistical issues will be in two decades when the kids will be asking who the hell is whizzy.
Re: Do You Remember Alex Okoroigwe aka ' Alex O' ? by Nobody: 3:24pm On Aug 10, 2013
He used to be a very good friend on Facebook before I deactivated my account. I remember him so well,my favorite song was country girl. It was love the first time I saw it and the video was so cool,it was shot on the island and some parts of the beach..

Re: Do You Remember Alex Okoroigwe aka ' Alex O' ? by PTNL: 3:25pm On Aug 10, 2013
You can't mention this guy Alex O without a good reference to Alex Zitto who is presently residing in the US for now. They both had great tracks llike " celebration, nwadama and baby walakolombo, countrt girl respectively. These tracks remained evergreen but not so popular online cos av tried searching for them.

I wish.some of these great guyz could.be brought to the musical clan once again for a remix of their best tracks and consequently creating a sense of recognition for them but not until the are dead......

I was a kid then but I loved music to a fault. I remember listening to the late Tina Onwundiwe (Africa Oyinbo),that chic that sang asiko,Mike Okri,Oritz Wiliki and their likes. 90s music was much more fun and good to relate with unlike what we have now.. Can someone just tell me what the meaning of nack me apako is? Mtschew..
