Some people up there have been spitting rubbish on half baked educated people, touts listening to Olamide's songs... I laugh at your stupidity.. Aliko dangote is a tout right, Ambode is an half baked individual abi, Tinubu is a rogue abi, Please apply little sense when arguing, weigh your words if it is preaching sense... And you that are fully baked, Can you please describe your bakery so that those names up there can be baked there.... Yamayama sha... That's his genre of music, his styles, he once said it in one of his songs... *dem say make i dey wear suit/ i too dey wear towntops, dem say i sign so many artiste/i go soon bankrupt, f*ck you and your thoughts, iya yin o le help....... what's the essence of spitting in English and not making sense, to those that doesn't understand Yoruba,Can we understand Phyno too? Or is he left out.. Abeg.. Olamide organizes concerts overseas.. That's one of the steps to sell himself out.. Slow and Steady wins the race

i believe sarkodie rap more in the native language than olamide, but sarkodie has gone badly international. Olamide still has a long way in contructing his music to fit the right timing

A wise Artist who struggled to blow will rather remain local, making millions and be relevant for long than to go international and make millions within a very short while and become flop after collaborating with 2Pac and Mohamed Ali undecided. This is the reason why Dagrin rejected shooting his video in UK instead, rejected idea of int.collabo, made up is himd to remain local within 9ja.

IN ettaetta's VOICE, Its better to be a king at home than to be a boi boi internationally. kiss

IN Davido's VOICE, owo ni koko [/size]
kiss

For your mind!...so you think if Dagrin were to be alive, he wouldn't have wished for an International Collaboration abi?...sit down there bro!

Well, As much as I hate the Nigeria music industry and the artistes. Olamide tends to be worst in limelight because he gained popularity off indigenous language and models of Nigeria interactions such as slangs, salutations, Nigeria street appeal, Apparel, photo Pose, Flows and flowery, Misongynistic potray of women and the likes.

So why isn't he recognized internationally.

Reason is those indigenous factors aforementioned is difficult for the international community to understand but it makes sense to Nigerian, Not just any Nigerian but the gullible and half baked educated once, the street hustlers, touts, loosed girls and club house.

As a 21st century man who relies on his brain for responsible living, Olamide is a bad influence to me and youngsters looking up to him. Wizkid and Davido are also bad influences but the difference is they use understandable pidgin/English and mostly sing about love to women , club and burning money but in English so the international community easily understands what they saying.

Warning- To you parents who dream of raising the Einstein, Tesla or Bill Gates of tomorrow then Wizkid, Davido & Olamide are all bad influence to your children.

Not only are you using false innuendos but you are also sounding incoherent! Some of the brightest figures in the world enjoy listening to rap music of Future, Ludacris, Wiz Khalifa and so on, do you mean these artiste offer more intellectually stimulating music than Olamide? Perhaps your biased mindset came from your disconnect with the Yoruba language and that's okay. You are entitled to your opinion, as long as majority of Nigerians are feeling him and he's making massive profits on his music, Olamide could care less about international recognition. He has already been on several tours of the US, Europe and so on, yet you think an award is supposed to stamp his arrival on the international scene, brother stop dulling yourself!

Ybnl Boss and Versatile Music artiste, Olamide aka Badoo is one of the most respected and recognized artiste in the Country...

His versatility to rap and sing and also fit into different genres of music from trap to reggae to fuji and many more has distinguished from The crop of talented artistes in Nigeria today..

This brings one to the reason why the artiste has not been duly recognized internationally and outside Nigeria alongside his peers like Davido and Wizkid..

Why is Olamide name lacking in most international awards and the talented artiste not getting deserved attention from the outside World..
So are u saying that Wizkid and davido are better than olamide?
Bia op I thought I warned u to stop taking that oshogbo weed u no hear.

Having this much recognition at home is enough for the Intl community to recognise him. I doesn't have to go about begging Chris brown or jayz for feature in their video; they will come to him. All he needs to do is make himself relevant just like he is doing now... and with consistency they will come looking for him.

Sorry to say, You so media driven and people like you is the reason the black race would never evolve.

In your myopic view, you trash down my opinion down to ethnicity bias when the Yoruba language is my favourite indigenous language in Nigeria. That's so wrong!

You lack basic knowledge of the positivity I was trying to put out also lack basic sense of self and depends on the Tv to programme your path to life, Actually....that's why its called Tv programme so Enjoy.

Note - Doing indigenous music is not an excuse for lack of intl recognition. 9ice was invited to nelson mandela and MOB0 and Yousuf won a grammy with his local songs.. So doing local or indigenous song is never an excuse..



1) Quantity Over Quality - Olamide has made quantity is main goal..Flood the scene with songs and songs till you reach a point of equilibrum and then start to decline...

Olamide has failed to allow the people thirst for his songs and his releases are not up to expectations too...

It gets to a point listeners are no longer gingered to listen to what the artist will say as artist becomes monotous and repititive.

The rapper is even gearing up to release a sixth studio album.

2) Branding - Branding is also very much .... The Kind of brand Olamide potrays is of the not too internationally minded artist. He hardly dresses corporate and potray his versatility in his brand..

He has even gone ahead to Brand himself a Local Rapper. This type of image projected is the way he is addressed..

He has even refused to meet up with more influential managers and more serious minded and music experts ..... The lack of Expertise on the side of the management and consisting of influential managers does bear its mark.


3) Appeal - While deviation from indigenous music is not the point. Appeal is very paramount..... Olamide style is not appealing to the outside world.. Sometimes balancing works.. I wonder if Hausas listen to olamide songs ? But i bet more listen to 9ice ? Why

A little of more mature songs and english lyrics might do the trick....Do something appealing to every one and yet dont forget the minority. You dont waste international features with Wale on songs like papilo you go make us proud....

Give them what they love.. Trap,pop. Feature more of their artistes and seek for international features....


Olamide is a Legend and will remain one... However , breaking into the international market Like Wizkid is not an easy job......

Olamide has too much talent than to be labelled a local rapper... We want to see him topping the billboard chart and copping his own BET award soon too... Enough of the Headies and NEA awards.

Badoo sneh is still the biggest artist in nigeria. he has conquered Nigerian music industry with both quality and quantity

Eleda mi, Melo Melo, Anifowose aren't club songs.

it's all about connection with foreign artists, which olamide feels he's too big to lobby for

2pac is not much of a good influence but was his music not accepted? i don't like 2pac's character and lifestyle but his lyrics are poetic . Even though he never won a Grammy , but musically who's Jayz compared to 2pac-he's a rap legend .

Those criticising olamide's style of music are mostly ibos.

Some said he speaks too much of the yoruba lyrics.

But his collabo with pyhno "Fada Fada" should have change ur thought towards a core yoruba guy potending d culture lyrically and music wise.

I think you should listen to BADDO LOVE by OLAMIDE YES... Thats predominantly English track...!!! You want his english track listen to that. He raps better than most so your so called internationals... If you want more english then buy Country music or jayz. Everyman with him way...! Its all about the Benjamins. Where is Mode9 and MI today... They don chop shit. If you are not relevant at home... International means shit... As far as i know... He remains relevant. Just like we still Enjoy Kwam1, Sunny Ade, Oliver De Coque and many others. He knows his market and he is making his cheddar... We dey listen to Indian songs and other african songs even when we dont understand what they are saying... Just like Awilo songs... Yet we go gaga when this songs are played. SO you are missing the point. He is yet to have a track that will break into grammy and worldwide and through not all artists do. But i believe its more important to KEEP MAKING MONEY and keep his business alive. When Flavor sang ASHEWO he never knew thats what would put him on the international scene... Yet his primary aim was to Make a living then... No be By GRAMMAR.... cool KEEP MAKING MONEY cool cool cool

He is big among his people and they love him.... what else could a man ask for. I understand you support him, but note that so many countries in Europe aren't even as big as so many of our ethnic groups here in Nigeria, yet they do everything in their indigenous languages. They aren't "crying" to go "International" or whatever the silly OP is talking about.
