Chedarking: Most Nigerian 'artistes' should be on that list.
So many of them lack actual talent...

Ice Prince is just a Wack Rapper, I strugle to understand why he is allowed to represent the Choc city brand.

Dr Sid is another wack artiste. And so is D'banj. Yes I said it...D'banj and his Oyato Wackness.

A lot of these guys would never be heard if they didn't bribe Nigerian Radio DJs... undecided

Must you spew nonsense as comment?

Re: 5 Nigerian Artistes Who Should Quit And Get Day Jobs by naturalwaves: 3:34pm On Sep 02, 2012
I see a lot of people are misinformed with respect to music based on the comments so far.


There are different genres of music...Country,Afrobeats,Hip hop,Jazz,Soul etc and to a large extent,it is d type of genre that basically determines d lyrical makeup. U can't expect a Soul Artiste to start talking abt party and shaking of bums just as U shouldn't expect a Dance hall to be filled with bores abt life events,stories,folk tales etc.

In Nigeria,d most dominant genre in recent times revolves round hip hop and Afro pop and what is d characteristic(s) of those kind of songs? U shouldn't expect sober,life,moral values such kind of lyrics from that kind of genre of music even d lyrics of American hip hop acts is filled with trash also. I guess,that's d way that particular genre is. So,before U say an Artiste is wack lyrically, U need to first of all know d type of genre he sings and know what such genres entails. The point here is that LYRICS IS NOT ENOUGH CRITERIA TO SAY MAYBE OR NOT A SONG/ ARTISTE IS WACK.



A music or song can basically be divided into 3 parts;
THE RHYTHM , THE BEATS, THE LYRICS.
The most important part of any song is d Rhythm cos it is what determines d flow and progression of a song. The Beats is a compliment of d rhythm and it is d next important to d Rhythm and d lyrics is d body of d message which is d least important (this may shock U though)
Even when a particular lyrics of a song does not pass a particular important message,intelligent Artistes like D'banj breaks d lyrics into rhymes to make d hearing of such songs appealing which thus,improves d rhythm.
Any Artiste that has got good rhythm and beats has already done about 70 % of d job on a song and success is certain. This is Y U hear some songs with vulgar and bad,misdirected lyrics but U still love listening to it/them and wonder Y they are hits.

If d lyrics of a song is d most important thing,we wouldn't av listened to MAKOSSA here in Nigeria in days of d Makossa craze. YANNI CHRISOMALIS hardly sings in his songs,yet he has millions of fans. When ENYA sings,U can hardly hear her and d lyrics.Infact , I download even d lyrics of her English songs most of d time after d song would av caught my appeal initially .She sings in spanish and some other languages at times,yet,she has millions of fans worldwide. Her albums sell at an average of 15 million copies. Shakira's hit track, LA TORTURA was sang in Spanish,yet loved by a lot of Nigerians.

From d above examples,how will U determine d lyrical content or what message it is passing across when U don't even understand d language? Haters are always so quick to castigate the 2 times MTV based Best African Act, Dbanj for his lyrics( cos they understand his language).D question is,what did outside observers see in his music before giving him such awards? Here is d point, WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING MUSIC, THE RYTHM AND THE BEATS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING NOT D LANGUAGE OR THE LYRICS EVEN THOUGH THAT IS IMPORTANT TOO,IT ONLY COVERS A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE.

Some of d upcoming Acts like Wizkid understands these perfectly and that is Y they concentrate on d rhythms and beats and when their lyrics is not solid, they turn it into rhymes to make up for it. That's all! And one cannot but wonder how their songs turn into monster hits.

Most of the musicians you people are condemning and hating has just been nominated in Channel 0 award, Davido, Wizkid, B'banj, Ice Prince, Flavour, Tiwa Savage and etc, they are there to do us proud yet you are here wasting your precious time beefing their glory, you shall all die by story if you dnt face your warrants.

Lolz.U got me laughing! That kind of song is meant for just when U want to only shake ur body to d beats.If U want to relax and calm ur head,then U may listen to d likes of Beautiful Nubia,Asa, etc.Ur mood and d time shuld be a criteria for selecting what to listen to.

LOL. "Ma bebe, ma bebe"

But honestly, I don't know any single one of the artiste which the OP cited. The only familiar name I see there is Shina Rambo. I guess he's not the same as the armed robber-turned-pastor right?

I'll say it again, Davido is crap making noise and re-cycling the same line over and over again. His beats should be used by a better singer or rapper.

I used to think that Naeto C was a one hit ("Kini big deal", "You know my P"wink, slightly above-average rapper, till I got his Super C Season album and listened to his flow. He raps intelligently and can even rate better than MI on some tracks, cos he could be fast when he wants to. Its just that that particular album was filled with love songs.

You should listen to some more of Naeto C songs.

As for the "only MC with an MSc" line, I guess that's his unique signature. Afterall, there is only one D'Banj who's sometimes known as Skibanj and nobody complains when he says that at the beginning of almost every track.
