Olamide And His Penchant For Blasphemous Lyrics by princejenks(m): 2:05pm On Feb 20, 2015 |
Adedeji Olamide,better known as Olamide,is one of the few hip-pop artistes that uses his native tongue,yoruba, to rap. He has at least three albums to his credit; Rapsodi, YBNL and Baddest Guy ever liveth,I actually have the last two of these albums in my kitty. Let me say right away that I was never originally a fan of Olamide because when I first listened to him, I thought his rap was too noisy and aggressive for my liking having already fallen in love with Dagrin's matured rap style. So it was only natural for me to keep comparing an Olamide with a Dagrin, but over time, Olamide has proven his mettle that he can be unique in his own ways. While still as noisy as ever in his rap, overtime, I have become tolerable to his style and I even enjoy listening to some of his songs, but I have noticed his penchant for what I call blasphemous lyrics in recent times. It took a visit to a friend's cafe where he kept playing current tracks of Olamide for me to take cognizance of this. In all of his songs that I listened to at this friend's place, I noticed he kept mentioning the name of our lord Jesus Christ in a manner that borders on the realm of blasphemy to anyone that doesn’t have an open mind on such things. Take one of the tracks titled ‘Jesu O kola’ as an example, while some may argue that there wasn’t anything blasphemous in the way he kept mentioning the name of Jesus on this track, but he didn’t exactly paint him in good light either, and for someone whose music is being listened to by both Christians and non Christians alike, one would have thought he should have been mindful about how he portrays someone people have strong faith in. This is not to spite the artiste, but I think he should do the needful here, which is that he shouldn’t be seen as giving people of other faiths the license to disrespect our lord Jesus Christ because an Olamide does same, albeit not intentionally. |

So it was only natural for me to keep comparing an Olamide with a Dagrinthis is my problem with that thug. You come up with useless noise and rubbish lyrics under the guise of being a street razo. Dagrin of blessed memory was more of the street than Olamide yet his lyrics was cool, sublime and there is always some sense in it. We miss you Rest In Peace Dagrin!
