ShoryuKen: It boils down to technicality – they are not perfectionists! Iyanya was on the radio the other day, complaining bitterly, that when he was doing R'n'B, no one appreciated him, till he went local [kpangolo music]. So, if you go local, stay local, and enjoy your intermittent trips to the U.S for events like the NEA. Let the artists, that are artistes, create the art – you've got to add/subtract, come with some new, yet not polarizing, and the world will love it.
Plus their managers/A&Rs should be more proactive, rather than being Instagram celebs.

Those that care about the craft, those that research, those that are embrace efficient minimalism, will be the ones to take the music industry to the next level – people like Tay [The Box]; smooth, rhythmic delivery of international standard, while incorporating the Bongo drums to give it a somewhat local flavor.

All these guys – Tuface and co. – are just living off past glory. I'm looking to the new generation, who care about "crafting", to make it happen – Aramide, Asa, Eva, M.I, Tay, etc.

johnwizey: We are on the same side on this. The video is rubbish, the song no sweet sef. When I downloaded the video and showed it to a friend he merely asked me to forward it to TI's part. I think they are loosing it and they should try and go back to the old Psquare we knew. They should try and be original and not try to sound like one foreign artist.

Bigsteveg:

So game over sold 8 million copies!!! One day someone will tell u ur mum is not ur mother and u'll believe without processing it with ur brain.

Emeca:

RedEboe: Till date I have been unable to watch Psquare's Ejeajo music video from begining to end for no other reason than the fact that i find that video/song utterly disgraceful.

Most devoted/diehard Psquare fans feel the same way too, but many will not say a word; some keep on replaying Ejeajo, hoping the song will eventually grow on them...its not happening.

Psquare has released its first major flop and the inclusion of American rapper T.I will not save them this time around.

The Ejeajo song sounded below average, ordinary, nothing catchy, no rhythm and to sum it all up, totally tasteless. It seems as though the sole purpose of this song was just to feature T.I and break into the American market.

I can bet my very last kobo that any American (Black) who's opportuned to watch Ejeajo video will laugh off his seat saying, "Who are these African booty scratchers trying too hard to sound like us and dance better than Usher?"
I felt the same way watching Peter Okoye putting in so much "gra gra" into his dance moves.

But on a serious note, about Nigerian artistes wanting to break into the American market; do these Nigerian artistes think that the Jay Zs, P Diddys and Dr Dre's will sit back and watch Nigerian music break into US Hip hop market? Especially in an America where music and sports are the few things black Americans can really hold on to. So they (Black American artistes) will allow some black African musician to come in and steal their domestic market share?

Nigerian music is already big in many African countries like Kenya,Zambia,Ghana and even South Africa. Do we think indigenous artistes and music promoters in these African countries are happy with Nigerians dominating their respective music scenes?

Why will Black Americans not stay proactive and stop Nigerian music from gaining foothold in their market?

Now here's the truth,someone should tell Psquare that its time to go back to the drawing board and re-invent themselves. I don't know the duo's football age but i'm guessing they are in their mid thirties. When dancing musicians start growing older or maturing, they concentrate more on the quality of their music, where more matured dance steps are incorporated. 'Matured dance steps' here simply means slow but sleeker dance moves, just like USHER in GOOD KISSER. And definitely not the 'gra gra' Peter Okoye was showcasing in Ejeajo, epecially to a lousy song.

I think it's time the Okoye twins take a break from music for some time; perhaps they can go concentrate on their respective marriages or try to mentor younger musicians with the ability to sing and dance.

After a few years, Psquare can return with a new style and sound.

For now,Psquare has lost it and i hope their closest fans and admirers tell them this truth before it's too late.

Remember Dbanj?

hensben: justin bibier is not a rapper lol, he is one overrated kid

Sweetlemon: Just saw the video now.

I'm still trying to figure out how the video or even the song warrants such criticism.


Well.......... they could reduce the number of girls in their videos though.

MissMeiya:

Actually he's incredibly talented. He was playing the piano and the guitar expertly at a very young age, and singing songs to artists and blowing them away. He got discovered on youtube. Watch the videos of him when he was a kid, and you'll know what musical talent is.

When you see Usher's face when he sang his own somg to him, you'll understand why there was a bidding war to sign him.

Johnnoah1st: dis small kids of nairaland self, anytime dey manage load recharge card and mtn dash dem free mb, na to rush come nairaland come post trash, while forgetting to connect there brain with there hands before posting something on public forum.

yuzjet: Hmmmmm! Ur opnions ni yen ☺º°˚˚°ºo

As long as it is Psquare, there's always something unique about their music. And, I'll still choose them over some other lacklustres Nigerian music.

They only want to let American know. And now, America don know! Shikena...

Edited...... I bet some people are suffering from a phobia dat hasn't been discovered yet. How could u condemned dis one unique video from one of the unique African Artists

Just watched the video and it was a uniqueness @its best from the duo. A video dat both Jude Engees Okoye and Clarence Peters directed together.

@OP, tell us what's wrong with u?

Sunshinelady: . I swear I can't understand wats wrong wit dat OP, mayb he is blind , deaf & dumb or somthin , because dat Ejeajo video is truelly unique & classy

MissMeiya:

He was a cute preteen boy with an incredible voice, backed by USHER. Standard formula to drive little girls batshit crazy. He's not the first, he won't be the last.

If Chris Brown had been white, when he was still a "good boy" it would've been exactly the same. Even as it was, girls were gaga for him.

And those girls drive the market.

melojames: M.I and Wizkid are the two big Nigerian artists i believe can break into the American music industry.
