I called May-D...he got blinded by greed and wanted driving Bugatti too...See how irrelevant he has become. He's truly the architect of his problem.

Leaving them, to me, was in his best interest. He's too odd with 'em. I mean those guys are twin brothers. Besides, with their latest problems, probably he would've been accused of playing a role in it by now.

No.i think staying with them could have opened up more doors for him..Sound track,ile ijo were hits from square records&he had gud chemistry with them in which the songs he was featured were hits..but anyway its Contract problem so we shouldnt interfere cos it involves written agreements

That shows the hypocrisy of the list. Dbanj even did better than tuface in 2014 except you just want to be sentimental.
their sense of judgment has been beclouded by hatred.

Neldrizzy:
..... and it is time
to look at the report card on who won in the music
year and those who lost out.
Here are the losers of 2014 ! (In no particular order)..

1--- May D : May D seem to be the architect of his
own misfortune. Since releasing his debut album,
the self acclaimed Sure Boy has been a very lazy
artiste, choosing not to put out records every now
and then. When he does, he seem to put out decent
records… If he does this constantly, he would
have released a hit record in the music year but he
was only able to release one single all year,
titled Ibadi. The video for the record came out
only few weeks ago. If the likes of Davido,
Wizkid can be releasing songs almost every
month, May D has no excuse for his laziness.
He had a fantastic 2013 though.


2---- Wande coal
One of the biggest losers this year is
Wande Coal. His work ethic also can be
questioned. He was able to put out smash singles
out in the year with Baby Hello, My Way and Plan
B all dropping in 2014 but somehow, Wande Coal
failed to match his previous height. The 29 year
old still hasn’t released any project since 2009.
That is almost 6 years now.

3-- D'banj,
D’Banj has struggled to achieve musical
success since parting ways with his former
business partner, Don Jazzy. Business wise,
D’Banj did well for himself though, with his
recent deal being the one he signed with Beats by
Dre, however he failed on musical grounds having
released more than 4 singles in 2014, Koko Master
doesn’t headline any show these days

4--- HKN GANG ( b-red, Sina Rambo, deekay, danagog
Davido might have achieved musical
success for himself however his role as a record
label chief has to be questioned. Despite all the
cash he has, connect, fame etc, the 22 year old
music sensation doesn’t look like he will ever sign
a music artiste that can make it in Nigeria’s music
scene. All his 4 artistes have released at least 2
singles each in 2014, with all of them featuring
him on a song aside Deekay. However, none of
the 4 released a radio/club friendly single in
2014… They all released at least 1 video each.
Total failure.

5--- Modenine
Popularly crowned as Nigeria’s best
rapper of all time, Modenine failed in 2014. No
show, no endorsement, no hit single, nothing!He
even released an album tagged Above Ground
Level in July featuring artistes like Ice Prince, Don
Jazzy, Reminisce, 9ice… Modenine still didn’t
achieve musical success in the year, no wonder he
was snubbed at the Headies 2014. The rapper
himself admitted music has given him fame and
not money in a recent interview.

6--- Ruggedman
According to Ruggedman, he
kickstarted Nigeria’s music revolution, but he has
never been part of the revolution. The rapper also
rolled out singles in 2014 with the most
“successful” featuring another artiste who made
this list Wande Coal (Bad combination)… The
rapper isn’t getting gigs and awards however.
Ruggedybaba is making money from his clothing
line though.

7--- Vector
Vector swore he is going to make a
comeback with his 2014 mixtape, #A7… #A7 was
released in September 1st and till date none of the
records on the tape has gone viral. He recently
released a video for one of the
songs, Shiga. Business wise, Vector did cash out
though, he was able to sign a deal
with Vitafoam according to reports.

8-- Kayswitch
Kayswitch: Another year another disappointment
from Kayswitch. Widely believed to be more
talented than his brother D’Banj, Kayswitch still
hasn’t made a name for himself in Nigeria’s music
scene since Mo’Hits era.

9-- TONTO DIKEH
It appears Tonto Dikeh has given up
on her quest to be a music star. The 29 year old
signed into D’Banj’s DB records label in 2014…
She released a single under DB Records imprint
but ever since, her momentum and passion seem to
have vanished. Poko Baby has since returned to
her first love acting.Her label boss D’Banj also
made this list.

10-- Samklef
Producer Samklef couldn’t get his music
career going in 2014. Despite picking fights with
Wizkid for publicity reasons, the former hitmaker
had a negligible music year. He released an album,
droped 5 singles, 3 music videos… Still his music
year was nothing to write home about.

Worthy mentions: Duncan Mighty, Waconzy,
D’Prince

Nlders, what's ur take on that??


How come 2face is not on the list?

grin grin grin I called the garri seller too, to mend ways with the Don Dorobucci, but he insists he wants to be a farmer. Lil wonder his garri ijebu makes sense more than his album
BossAyuk:
I called May-D and specifically told him, remain with P-SQUARE till you gain enough grounds in the industry but my guy refused...he got blinded by greed and wanted driving Bugatti too...See how irrelevant he has become. He's truly the architect of his problem.

Please where is flavor on the itunes chart? I cant see him o! Can anybody find him? Mtcheew. And u say flavor was succesful? See most pple cant feature that much pple cos the dont have the money too, and most of the songs the pple he featured took only chrous. Mi always had a dance has right frm day one (anoti and action dilm) he did nt go commercial cos millionaira chanpange does nt sound commecial to me. He killed everybody on every track, dont tell me what you dont knw, see ive been studing mi haters and i found out they dont listen to his songs, they just hate him. Lemme be honor to give you a puncline to think about from that abulm "who is the best rapper, omo it all depends, im nt the one to ask, ask number 2 to 10" so yet again you sound like an hater, please just admit u hate mi, thats all!
