even their boss Ross finds it hard to release album and singles that sells nowadays,look at the Matrimony with a top notch video that he sang with usher last yr,that song deserves to be no1 on d billboard but lack of promotion and rep,d song was languishing at d bottom,he deserves to be up there with d likes of Kendrick drake and j.Cole not pple like meek mill.

Olamide has been doing what? Is he a musician or a witch doctor? All I see him do is chant incantations.


As per fine girl Yemi Alade, she will last very very long because her mooma's Igbo blood runs in her.

Banky W is cute because his mooma is from Cross River State.


Do you have more jargon to spit?

JAYTUNEZ:
Top Nigerian/US rapper, Wale has opened up on Nigerian music with particular focus on Wizkid.

In an interview with Factory 78, he said he tried to get Wizkid signed on to Roc Nation way before he became a global brand.

He also said he feels Drake copied Wizkid's style on his hit track on Views album, One Dance..

Wizkid is credited as a co-producer on the track so it could mean he wrote part of the lyrics..
Wale said;

[/b]I would like to hear more of Wizkid.I would like to hear more of Wizkid on one dance.I could hear more control.It sounds like Wizkid's song.He sounded like Wizkid on that song.The lyrics, the style  everything,.I mean he is a phenomenal writer but I just feel like he sounds like Wizkid on that song..[b]

On Nigerian music,he said

I'm proud of Davido and Wizkid and Olamide. There is alot of dope artists coming out right now .

.I knew it was gonna get there. I mean,Nigeria got like a whole 60 % of the swag in Africa. I always knew .I remember bringing the idea of signing Wizkid to Roc nation to the guys out there .Like early on. It was way before this time. I knew it was gon get there. I got like 7 songs on the internet with him. If I had held on to him back then,it would have been a different story.




http://www.tunezmediablog.com/2016/05/i-tried-to-get-wizkid-into-roc-nation.html?m=1

I said the same thing the first time I heard that song...Wizkid definitely wrote that song.
Wizkid stands a better chance of making it big in the states than Davido.

Wale.....is not everybody. Wiz kid is not on wale level I beg. Wale is a lyrical genius.

He's clearly just trying to promote Wizkid like Akon is doing with P Square.

finally I see someone who recognises good music and acts

Wale instead of you to try and get your ass signed up with Roc Nation . You are still bench warming at MMG .. Meek Deh dash you L's anyhow and you are still with MMG



Blasphemy, thou shalt not speak ill of MMG! What ya' know bout Wale? Nigga already got his props and dues in the music industry and he's well known in the game. He's got his last two albums on Billboard #1 and you still comparing him to lame ass Meek? Comparing Roc Nation to MMG when it comes to rap artiste is like comparing onions to tomatoes in 9ja right now, INSANITY! Just watch out for Wale's 5th LP and MMG's Self Made 4 Album to know Roc Nation ain't sh*t to rap artiste,maybe R&B like Rihanna or Willow makes sense but artiste like Big Sean(Rookie) and J.Cole(where ya at since 2014?) are not enough to give the label rap credibility and the days of riding on Jay Z's street cred are over!

Even my boy Whizzy sings in Igbo. D'banj was singing in Igbo too. Ask that witchdoctor Olamide what he said about akwa oche.

Na una dey use Igbo pass oo.

So you are not proud of M.I, Phyno, Flavour, P-Square and Don Jazzy?

Kudos to you for bringing Tribal sentiments into a finely written piece without any iota of tribal bigotry.
It is a very know fact that the Yorubas rules the music industry. Thats why everyone is coming to the Lagos.
And the Ibos rule the movie industry. Thats why locations are mostly in Enugu or Asaba!!!
I don't understand you people again ooo...
U mentioned your ibos brothers and u forgot about the SS musicians like Steroe man, Yung6ix, Duncan Mighty, Timi Dakolo and Hausa great musician Sani Danja...

Be careful bro!!!
