hinky:I still care, which is I stick to my favourite; ill/gangster rap and hard-rock music for their meaningful lyrics appeals to me. Others loves the lyrics of R&B, Country, Pop, Contemporary etc and you and your sister the Beats & Instrumental 'ke dum-dum dum - ke dum-dum dum..oya wa je banana' Lol! 3 Likes |

y3mi: Yes, I agree with you. We are bad at imitating and the industry doesn't conform to any standards. But we copy what appeals to us a human beings: if it is sagging pants, tats, disrespectful language and a value for paper and bling that appeals to us, even when there are other things on display from western cultures, then sadly that's who we are as people. And standards, while they can censor unacceptable trash that may corrupt impressionable minds, cannot invent quality where it did not exist in the first place. Our society is mediocre. Whether it is as a result of our education or leadership, it just is mediocre. Granted, we have some excellent minds amongst us, but the average is not impressive. Therefore the production of art, and the consumption of it are both disappointing. We have some really good artists like Asa and Timi Dakolo but what percentage of our population would choose those over Runtown? And inadvertently we've all become products of our society, no matter how hard we resist - it's a vicious loop of mediocrity. 2 Likes |

Lordtunji:You are very correct. To me, Yanni's music is an explosive but subtle expression of human feelings which transcends a receptive ear and soul to a boundless realm of existence. Btw, what composition by Yanni is your favorite? Mine is Rainmaker,off his ethnicity album. Damn, that songs gets me every time. I also love Nostalgia too. |

MsRoe:Bam! Would you agree that all of Nigeria problems from politics, governance to entertainment and education can be traced to one thing - RELIGION ? Lordtunji:Yeah right but Mode9 the pure lyricist is too self-absorbed, no be every hip-hop/rap fans go buy NAS album for yankee na. Feel me? Personally, as I didn't feel M.I. when he reigned, but he sold and made money as he ought to, not just because he is as tight as Mode9 who came before him but because he managed to bounce his lyricalism on what moves the market in Nigeria, and that's groovy beats and instrumental which is what Mode9 unknowingly didn't do, and thus his works only appealed to the fringe minority of lyric-analyzing rap addicts. 3 Likes |

praxisnetworks...........its because we are now living in an era called INTELLECTUAL VACUITY in age of DECADENCE aided by DIGITALIZATION. In those days the used to be a LIVE BAND who went through training. You gat to learn how to play instruments, how to write songs and there were audience who in the majority those songs of old was meant to entertain their SANE MIND. Thought provoking songs. All it takes today to wax a whole album is going to the studio, where the select the beats, which you can by yourself do at home with a laptop and muzicc software and while you vomit all kinds of RUBBISH from your INSANE mind by a generation and for a generation MENTALLY CONFUSED who are so insensitive to their dishonour. LOST!!! What there is today is obscene language, nudes and beats. BEATS FOR EMPTY HEADS OF COURSE. And for a world that cares about nothing but Money which soon decays because all it cares about is money at all cost. |
