Because artistes these days lack imagination and know of little else to sing or depict.

Who run the world? Girls!

The fact is majority of Nigerian hip hop pretenders are INTELLECTUALLY RE-TARDED MORONS WHOSE SO CALLED PASSION IS DRIVEN MORE BY HUNGER AND DESPERATION FOR SURVIVAL THAN BY TALENT.

THEY LACK CREATIVITY.

THE WORSE IS THESE THEIR PRO-STI-TUTES IN VIDEOS CANNOT EVEN DANCE,BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW SIMPLE BASIC CHOREOGRAPHY.

THEN THE COPYCATS ARE NOW SHOOTING VIDEOS DANCING ON THE STREETS THEY COPIED FROM AMERICAN HIP HOP VIDEOS.

THEY ARE ANNOYINGLY INTELLECTUALLY RE-TARDED.

The TV channels playing their mediocre music videos don't have much content to fill up their slots and collect money from these desperate mediocre hip hop acts to play their videos.

Sarky: Try being a musician n if u try avoiding hot gals n partyn stuffs..... Na u n ur family go buy ur CD finish.

LOL

What would you say about Eminem? I have never seen chics in his video except the comic ones he uses to diss them.

everybody (almost) just dey form holy holy for here...as someone here said,this is just an unfair generalisation, but i admit,more of our videos contain nudity.. yes, why because it sells, period. The only concern for me is that i can't watch these videos when my nieces and nephews are around and for their young minds, i am willing to sacrifice, and pls, stop the exaggeration of comparing these type of videos to porn because they are not abeg!!!



a good example is iyanya, dude has been dropping some nice decent vibes since 08, but nobody paid him no mind, but guy dropped kukere (a party jam Duh!!!) followed with a titillating video and wht do u know, he is driving to every show in his Range Rover Sport Supercharged (yes, i saw him last friday for my side)

PS: it is about what sells, don't hate the players, hate the crooked damn game!

It also shows lack of creativity on the part of the video directors. I dont expect such from clarence peters. He started with good videos now he has started to shoot trash too. I guess trash sells sha.

jacobscros: are hot babes in miniskirts and the club scene all there is to life?

Because there is no more sense in Nigeria's music industry. Why? It has been hijacked by pimps and bimbos

It's due to lack of concept and they have listeners who are only interested in beats not the lyrics. Mtchewwwwwwwwwww

its keeps me wondering too..... i dont really understand y wat all dese musicians sing abt is sex, sex, and sex, girls, money, partying, drinking alcohol as if dats all life entails. They v nothing to tell d society aside sex and funniest is dat @ d end dey will say 'all glory to God' and dey will i starting singing since i was 2yrs old.

...even in advertisements,customer service centres, marketing etc,you find 90% female.
The gender abuse is so alarming such that months ago i saw a lady advertising tires; tires? i couldn't believe it.
look at banks,filling stations,etc you find mostly ladies -all just to attract customers,esp. d males

Nigerian music is a joke. That why the sing rubbish and people still run ahead to buy them. I don't bother to listen to any Nigerian song if i don't have The Asa's, Ecetera, and G-T the Guitarman. My dad said the state of the music signifies the deteriorating condition of the country. I pray it changes one day.

dangiwa09: If you don't like what they show, then, DO NOT WATCH IT. That's your right, but do NOT tell other people how to exercise their rights (What to watch). Nobody is forcing you to watch it, you can tune to one of these pastor's channels and watch it ALL DAY, that is your right!

Guess you are not married yet or you dont have children or you have a disfunctional family thats why you dont feel others should condemn wat obviously is making life hell for majority...You think America is happy wit d rate of divorce dia which has its root in disregard for women and immorality?If we dont fight it,it will soon be here wit us.

Women these days have been reduced to nothing but Object of Physical pleasure..

In fact this is the sign for the end of the time, now d devil himself has come to seduce men who's weak point is women because the devil knows that most men love to trive everything under the scirt. That is why most musicians love to move with such women in other to get more money while spoiling them with their selfishness, no wonder the Bible says " what shall it profit a man that he gains the whole world and lost his soul."

Shakespeare had already provider the answer to OP's question in the 17th century. He wrote in Twelfth Night or what you will: ''if music be the food of love then play on"

Rubbish!! Religious bigotry. What has the devil or God got to do with young persons having fun and making money as well as entertaining fans. It's all part of the entertainment industry.

Its obvious, its getting worse by the day, this issue is very ambiguous, let us deal with it squarely. first of all, i think our orientation to life, our growing up days, our families, influences has a lot to contribute to this saga. Some PEOPLE R MORALLY BANKRUPT even from childhood that they see nothing wrong with immorality, so they can grow up n sing such songs that will make the next man uncomfortable. 'Sex sells' agreed, but does it make it right. "GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT", n who told u that's what they want. Our musicians n artistes r really narrow minded n indeed lack creativity hence they copy from the west. We swallow all n loose ours, our culture, norms n values, its indeed a shame. We don't have to go that way, we can try n make it the way we want it to be, if we can handle it as adults, how about this kids whose minds are still fresh n fragile, imagine them growing up with all these madness, things we did not experience in our own days as children. There r ways we could write our lyrics 4 songs, shoot the videos without being scandalous, one can still talk about love or sex without being too explicit. I sorry sorry o! as Femi Kuti sang, Our future is in trouble.

Nice thread u got here @Op... Its not only d music industry,i think d movie industry is even worst nd then they claim to teach morals. Dats so not good cos the immoral overpowers the moral dat u hardly get d moral in it... The moral bankrupty nd decadence in our society is just unbelievable.

I used to think girls go almost unclad cos dats what d guys want, thanks 2 Nairaland 4 changing dat tot

Good Boi: Sex, women, booze and money

timisnup:

decepticos: Videos r a funny tool, as regards the of music videos, our popular artistes can't really b blamed cos man must wack (eat), there r ppl who will get it wright, and others wrong. Well i mostly download and watch old rap and rock vids e.g the roots dont say nutin, LOTUG chief rocka, animated vids thrill me d most like The flobots handle bars. Gud a.m

Lords of the Underground, yeah weren't they on EPMD's label?

flanrey: People should not be quick to condemn Nigerian videos, they try their best to interpret the song. When you watch a video titled 'Your waist' its only natural that you see different sizes of waist rolling here and there

lol

Answer is simple...dat is wht youths of nowadays want to seee

Golden Lady:

Lords of the Underground, yeah weren't they on EPMD's label?
