It is certainly about one man's meant being another man's poison. It may not be music to you but it is music to other people. Remember music has different genres and everybody has one or more that they feel comfortable with. There are millions of inspirational songs that you can listen to. Every musician cannot make music that suits your own taste.

Hahaha! And what genre is this? Lunatism?

great music appeals to all not just a select few.

ghettodreamz:

I beg to differ! Great music may not appeal to all in some cases, depending on the type, I mean the kinda of genre it was. And what did you mean by select few? For instance, on this particular thread; How many posters liked the song? And how many don't? I think on the basis of your comment above, it means majority carries the vote here. So what's your point?

You dont really know about rap music genre. No need argueing with you. This type of song is what rappers in the states did and still doing. It's called braggadocio. You see the likes of 50cents, Birdman, Lil-wayne doing this. Are you saying they were never taken serious in the world stage? Because Olamide used majorly yoruba to do same, it means he is wack. Go and check top rappers lyrics you will understand better. If you want Gospel songs , i have them on my Laptop.

Dont argue with him. He needs to be lectured.
50calibre, what Olamide did in this song is described below and most rappers do it:

Braggadocio is a type of rapping where the MC is "bragging and boasting"[1] and can include subjects such as physicality, fighting ability, financial wealth, sexual prowess, or coolness[2]. It is often heavily used in battle rapping[3], and braggadocio lyrics can range from simply stating how skillful one is to employing complex literary techniques[4].

The book How to Rap shows an example of complex braggadocio through Eric B. & Rakim's track 'No Omega' from their Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em album[5]. MCs such as Murs, Guerilla Black, and Esoteric also suggest reasons in How to Rap for why braggadocio is so common in rapping, ranging from competitiveness in the old school hip-hop ethic, to the struggles of "young, black males in America"[6]. MCs also feel that braggadocio is an important aspect of hip-hop and rapping and that it can also be mixed with other topics to good effect[7].

No (normal) human being with thinking faculties will like this. This is not music, it is madness and feel free to laugh in mandarin if you wish afterall we have been laughing since 1960.

This isn't about one man's meat being another man's poison, it is about quality of music that makes sense and inspires the young generation. Quality of goods and services is vital for our development if we want to be taken seriously on the world stage.

dammytosh:

It is about ur choice of music or understanding of the lyrics , the rhyme and the flow.

i hate harry porter series and managed to finish ONLY one half way. I hate prison break and refuse to watch it even uptil now. It is not yet a problem until I say d 2 movies are nonsense or rubbish and d people who watched them don't have a job. (Dts fallacy)

I made sure i listened to the single more than 4 times without the fear of data loss in KB before typing this.

My conclusion. Tight beat, tight flow, nice lyrics, perfect ryhme, nice and Olamide like chorus.

killuminati: I support you on this one thou I'm still a weed blazer and I knw you hate Mary J lovers. I also don't like any of dis dude music (noise). These dude is straight local, thou he can make noise and have some dunderheads feel like he's reppin hip hop. His lyrical content are wack...yeah WACK, but you naija na, they anytin goes!

Tutone22: This guy is talented, *Can wait to buy another album*

Johnnoah1st: Pls anybody dat knw any active dating site should pls quote me and post them or inbox me pls

airmark:
It will not make sense to you if you either dont understand yoruba or you dont understand what is meant by street. Moreso the rap is hardcore, so it might not sink to ears used to pop, blues and raggae only.

phemi01: The funny thing bout music is that no matter how stupid or wack a song sounds, u'll find people who like it.

If u are exposed, matured and are used to listening to good music, it's possible u won't like olamide's music.

Though ppl sing 4 various reasons, that doesn't mean u a musician shouldn't sing @ least one meaningful song throughout his lifetime.

What separates a good musician from a mediocre one is the ability to be able to entertain and also teach ppl with ur music. U don't have to do gbam gbam dim dim all d time. Do entertaining songs jst for fun n also do inspirational songs.

That's Y d yankee musicians are way ahead. They understand music. (Though not all).

Our naija Old skul musicians made a lot good music. Very few of d new skul these days jump into music for money n cheap fame.

Good music is not all about noise making.
