Atmmachine: Nigerians are so disgusting..i'm telling you guy,some people baffle me alot their stupidity is gigantic,they keep on hating/critisizing while the Duo smile to their banks,even though they sing crap,atleast their craps bring them enough liquidity and fame,nigerians mentality and the way they think sometimes baffles me,instead of them to hustle and be the next Dangote, they are busy hating on people that have already made it in life, pathetic! |

b1327: bruh am not sayin dey can't break into america hiphop industry(not rap hiphop) but wit crap dey singin now bruh 'I don't think so' about d pple u mention eg fela dose 1 aint sayin crap dey talkin sensible thing so if we talkin music don't bring fela and co inside it You honestly don't need street credibility for rap fans to accept you, especially when you're a foreign artist, you understand the culture and the essence, and you don't rap about gangster stuffs you absolutely have no clue about and you never lived. Drake is Canadian, with no street credibility - and he's arguably the biggest draw in rap music right now. Mark Morrison from the UK was a chart topper in America. K'naan is Somalian, and he's well respected in the rap community in America etc.. Anyway, your argument was off-point, and enough of going on a tangent with you. But being a great rap hip-hop artist has absolutely nothing to do with street credibility and being a gangster. Except maybe if you do gangster rap. Even with that, how many of the gangster rapper are/were real gangsters? Real gangsters who're active don't make music - they're either dead or in jail - and that's coming from a nyggah with stripes and stars from the streets/roads like the American flag. 2 Likes |

This is basically a case of you spouting ignorance, and getting me confused trying to decipher what you're saying. - Music is universal and if you're going to imitate a genre of music, just make sure you understand it and make sure it's as good as the original - not that mediocre gimmick that Afrobeat is. It's good for naija/African folks who want a gimmick of the original that they can call their own...but people from the place where the culture is from will never take you seriously. - Rap music isn't just about gangster rap, and most of the gangster rappers are just story-teller relating other people's stories and where they grew up. So, you don't need to be a gangster to be a gangster rappers. Apart from Easy-E, the other pioneers of gangsta rap were/are not even gangsters. Hip-hop is a culture and with hood/environment commentary/documentary - and all kinds of stories are allowed. That's why a K'naan can always talk about Somalia and Africa, and still be accepted. - Naija artists need to create a different sound that's quintessentially Nigerian/African if they want international recognition. And if they want to imitate - at least they should have the required talent and knowledge of what they're imitating - and not the bad gimmick they keep churning out all the time. Gimmick is great for feeling good in the club, but outside that, it's noise to real music lovers. Anyway, I still love Burna Boi...and a few catchy tunes here and there. |

icekidgodfrey: oooh wordd?? CRIP! Stay strapped niqqa! Nah, I never cripped nor stayed cripping - not from that culture though there is a cripset affiliated to the yanks' crips in my neck of the woods. But as a younger, I was super-black and I played with that black bandana, reppin' the bits. Past tense though, but once you earn those stars and stripes, they're forever with you. The codes, the scars, memories, lessons, and P's & Q's. Street smartness that no one can ever teach or take away from you. |

OP, Your post is somewhat a sweeping generalization. My reason being that despite being averse to songs without deep lyrics (I'm not mentioning names), how about 'Bring It On' by P Square ft Dave Scott? They did a good job there; certainly not the best but it's worth an applaud. |

Despite how massive and recognised Westlife was/were worldwide, they couldn't break into the American market. Talking about sophistication, it is the US audience. Truth be told, our Nigerian so-called artistes can never be recognised there. The guy that was talking trash about GLOBAL legends like Jay z, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Drake, etc should be shot in his throat |

Ok. So, OP, you think psquare are finished because you do not like 'Ejeajo'. You also think the song is pointless and tasteless...as well as the video. Well, it is your opinion, and it's fine to hv one---it's part of your basic human rights. What I learned from your post though, is that you're not a PSquare fan, so it's easy not to like their work. I'm sure you also had something similar to say about 'chop my money', 'e no easy', and 'do me'--- songs that went on to become the biggest hits out the continent. Your argument was a little sensible until you said neither psquare nor any other Nigerian/African artist will break into the American entertainment market because the jiggas and the lil Waynes will not sit down and allow it. Boy, really? Where were they when kevin little's 'turn me on' took over the planet? Why didn't they stop Sean paul? Or bob Marley the great? What about Rita Ora, Tinnie Tempah, seal? Maybe you think they all started in the states? 'Anybody can blow', in M.I's words. The world is a big stage, music is a big platform, anyone can make it big and break boundaries if their music is good, and they have the right connect. A lot of people have become so accustomed to the stereotypes in Nigerian entertainment that the moment they see/hear something different, they get 'disappointed'. I think it's ironical that you want psquare to be more mature in their music, but failed to acknowledge that they actually did grow in their music by putting out two international standard tracks in "ejeajo" and "bring it on". Both songs are great, and I think any honest person would agree. Now, You slam psquare for "tryin to break into the American market" by diversifying and improving Their music, but I'm certain it's people like you that criticized them in the past for "making the same kind of songs". I guess that's what being a star is about...you just can't please everyone. 3 Likes |
