'sushi'definition of a real rar rap spitters. Listen to rap lyrics and get motivated,don't think all rappers talks nonsense

naturalwaves: 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.

pleasssee more laugh oooooo

diluminati:
maybe our turn in music is to pay more attention to the lyrics that reflect the real nature things. Its difficult to achieve that because they are in for the money, so when their songs are played over and over, you have no choice. Music is limitless, many of our artistes have limited mindsets the all too familiar themes with exception of 2face to a degree.

mruknaijaboy:

fam you got an inferiority complex, how can you like artists out of the country more than artists in your country?, thats how nigerians and africans always think its cool to try and be american, see M.I and Ice Prince who went to school for 4 or 5 years and then they come back with a full american accent lol,

my brother in law lived in US for 14 year and still has his UK accent intact so i dont know how these guys spend half a decade in america and talk and act american lol only in africa!

dopeJemi: lemme even cum down 2 ur reasoning, cuz he has moni he shouldnt quit music, no b wen u don get 2 much moni na u fit quit music? na wa 4 u sef, u r just contradictin urself

Trojan00: . Nd who says D'banj doesn't ve talent. Maybe not as talented as 2face bur talented nonetheless. U brought d issue of 'd money he has is enough to make him retire' nd I used ur STUPID logic to prove u wrong by stating d example of jay-Z . Hw can u be puttin dbanj in d same category wif shina rambo; cos dats wat u re implying

dopeJemi: mah broda, i'm sure u knw wah real talent is, if we wan tawk abt real talent, wizkid no join sef, 4get d category he z being put in, weda e dy 4 daddy shokey category, e no mata, mah guy lets be realistic, wetin d.banj dy sing? can d.banj be a jugde in nigerian idol or naija sings?
