Vulgarity And The Nigerian Singer by Nobody: 12:35pm On Aug 09, 2013 |
Have you noticed how most Nigerian hip-hop songs done mostly by new artistes on the block tend to sound the same? Makes you want to think they are all coming from the same stable or producer. Well, i found out that they are not, so I sought for what might be responsible for this. In Nigeria, singers really do not make it from record sales as most of their works are usually pirated or freely downloaded from the internet, however they make so much money from appearances at shows and events within and outside the country. But these shows and events don’t come off a platter of gold, silver or even aluminium. The artistes must first gain wide acceptance mainly from the party going and club-attending public, hence the music is done to satiate the thirst and hunger of this public. The conditions the above public are in when they listen to music is such that they would care less if it makes sense or not, as long as there’s a particular repetitive rhythm to which they can move their body or bop their heads to. This in my view is partly responsible for the vulgarity we see in music audios and videos nowadays in Nigeria, unfortunately the singer who develops a conscience midway into his career and decides to be a bit responsible with his music may soon begin to experience a nose dive in fan base, get little airtime and fades from public view faster than it took to come on board. In this dark millieu we have seen some other artistes become successful with less luridity and vulgarity, propelled to success through their talent though their rise to fame could be said to have been tortuous but it was nevertheless steady, an artiste such as Tuface fits this bill and makes you wonder how long Davido, whizkid and the likes can keep up their charade before a new set of vulgarity-slinging dudes knocks them off the stage. ‘kovich VULGARITY AND THE NIGERIAN SINGER | madukovich's cogitations - http://madukovich./2013/05/19/vulgarity-and-the-nigerian-singer/ 17 Likes 2 Shares

Vulgarity is not a must. However a good, head-bopping rythmn is a necessity. Most songs nowadays have no content because mainstream listeners only want to dance away their daily hardship. I fail to see or notice the vulgar nature of songs people also complain about. Singing about shaking hips and bottoms is not vulgar, singing about sexual acts on the other hand, is vulgar and rarely practiced in the industry. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Those who are poorly educated also have a poor taste of music. The kind of music making waves in Nigeria is a reflection of the population who patronize the music. In Nigeria where many people are poorly educated the choice of music will definitely be poor. 17 Likes 2 Shares |
