Nobody tryna blow up frm nairaland, although nairaland has over a million users it still does not recognise what influence it could wield in the market when it comes to music or entertainment content... i'll let seun go figure the rest.

Walks out of thread

Though I hate being criticised, the gentle of an op is right.
Even though he could have been a little bit more gentle with his criticism.
I know personally how disgusted I would feel if someone were to me I sang nonsense.
Op please take note.
Airforce1 take down the points he mentioned and work them.
No mata wetin u sing we go support u all the way!

[quote author=chronique post=34962474]This is strictly my opinion and I think I have been vindicated over the years in most cases.

I write to you all(upcoming artistes) with good intent and purpose. I write as someone who has been a music lover for so many years,someone who followed Nigerian music from the late 80's down to this very day,someone who listened to pioneering American hip-hop acts from the late 80's,someone who listened to music when we still had music genres like soul and funk,someone who basically likes and has a substantial knowledge of what good music should sound like. Music is a form of art,and good music should sound pleasing to the ears. The melody,lyrics and instrumental should be good and the overall production must be of the higest standard. I don't believe in people doing mediocre jobs and promoting it. Majority of the songs we listen to today on radio,should normally not even get airplay if standards... Thanks for your care. pls i nid ur advice on literary writing sir.

Airforce1 when I saw your track on front-page I quickly downloaded it, based on the hype you gave your song but after listening to it for a few seconds I ended up deleting it from my phone.

I honestly don't think music is your calling, take a look @ Ibile Alaga he doesn't have a good voice but he is a very good rapper another example is d'banj but he knows how to entertain fans with his songs that's why he is often referred to as an entertainer.

My brother you have a long way to go.

Alakori oshi,Mr such a diva.

nigerians assume every criticism is attack. They don't even recognise when it's helpful . Afterall if people like bob marley had discarded the criticism in his early days will he blow

efilefun:
do you actually know who lahlah is He produced sexy ladies Oritse femi ft Davido and you telling me he's not good, worked with him personally and his productions are dope, the only issue with the song would be from the person delivering the lyrics.

lahlah alone cant make airforce1 a better artist,that fella is right

force needs a team

we have producers here who are willing to work for free just to show how good they are,am a songwriter,i charge cheap to people like airforce1,just 36k :/

we have promoters here plenty and most of all so so many bloggers

if airforce1 takes our advice and improves on his work..he will be a star in nothing less than 3 months,i have done it before,am quite sure i can do it again

Nice wan @op.
Honestly, i was so disappointed after I listened to that airforce1 song. Thou he can do better, i e if he swallows his pride and take heed to what the op jus said.
Secondly, no matter how good you re, u will still be needing a good producer! Airforce1 take it or leave it, YOUR PRODUCER IS BELOW STANDARD!
Lastly, I wish you the very best. For every struggle, there is blessing. Good luck!!!

Airforce your arrogant attitude will make you loose fans. Don't let your attitude destroy your career before even starting. People are already getting pissed

This is strictly my opinion and I think I have been vindicated over the years in most cases.

I write to you all(upcoming artistes) with good intent and purpose. I write as someone who has been a music lover for so many years,someone who followed Nigerian music from the late 80's down to this very day,someone who listened to pioneering American hip-hop acts from the late 80's,someone who listened to music when we still had music genres like soul and funk,someone who basically likes and has a substantial knowledge of what good music should sound like.

I don't believe in people doing mediocre jobs and promoting it. Majority of the songs we listen to today on radio,should normally not even get airplay if standards are to be maintained.
I know most people reading this piece,would eventually attack me and say stuffs like "you don't know what it means to go into the studio to record a track cos if you do,you'd know it's not easy". Before you guys slaughter me with that line,listen to this song with the following link:

http://www.datafilehost.com/d/2934af36

The above link was a rough demo I recorded at our studio when I was still neck deep into music production and entertainment years back. I was conducting an interview for an in-house producer we wanted to employ and I asked him to make the beat and produce me as an artiste. I did the entire song myself,and directed the production and we finished the whole song in about 12 or 16 hrs. Despite the fact that it sounds a lil bit appealing to some people,it's still not a standard job that can be played on radio. That being said,let's move on to the main issue(since you now know I've also had studio experience).


I decided to write this article cos over the years,I haven't seen any artiste blow up from nairaland. The only person who has blown up from here(nairaland) that I know,is Dee Tunes. I remember when He sent me his crew's demo several years back and after listening,I told him to stick to his production and shun rap(not like He was terribly bad though) which He did,and has now made a solid career from. He might not remeber me today,but I'm happy He has made a name for himself in production,and now charges 400k per track. Apart from Dee Tunes,all the other artistes who I had the opportunity to talk to and advice here on nairaland,are still where they are. Reason is that when you advice most artistes and you don't tell them they're the next best thing after fried rice,they tend to see you as their enemy. The average upcoming artiste thinks He's the best and when you point out their flaws,they find it difficult to accept. Most people don't like the truth and that's why we have so many trashy sounds on radio. A good song should have good lyrics that makes sense even if it's meant to be a danceable song. The fact that a crappy song like Terry G's "knack you akpako" made waves,doesn't make it the standard for an upcoming artiste to emulate.
Artistes should also know learn to carve a niche for themselves and not just do what every other person is doing. There should be something extra that you're bringing to the table and as such,you need to put a lot of hardwork into your song writing and deliveries.

With the hype airforce1 has been enjoying on nairaland and His assurances to fans that He wouldn't disappoint them,I was expecting something better from him. All I can advice him to do,is to first and foremost,try to discover himself and find out what genre of music He is good at. This His "such a diva" song isn't it at all. That brings me back to a particular artiste who was hyped here some weeks back. The original poster even went as far as comparing him with Cannibus but when I listened up,song was quite wack. The dude can't even make the list of top 50 rappers in naija. Instead of people to tell him the truth,they kept typing "d.ope","drugz",etc.
I can't remember who the artiste is again but I'd say this: "only those who want you to succeed will tell you the truth". There's no point believing sycophants who praise you cos they don't want to bruise your ego. Whatever is worth doing,is worth doing well.

Finally,all I'd say is this: be open to criticisms,learn your art very well,work on your lyrics,carve a niche for yourself and be yourself. Don't try to copy what others are doing;be original.

I hope someday,nairaland would produce it's first music superstar.

In my opinion, the OP is just trying to advertise himself.
Trying to do some sort of 'needless comparison'. It'ld have cost nothing to mail him or give a generic advice to no one in particular. So much for thoughts before action.

Everybody who liked this your comment are your 'REAL ENEMIES' .

They want you to be stuck at the level you are currently on.

Your song's production was below average. It was done in such a way that I could not Appreciate your lyrics (That one sef is another story).

This track is a poorer quality of COCOBUTTER by CHARASS (cocobutter is a very wack song but production was well above average. That gives you an idea of my opinion).

Content matters. Though you could continue singing "CONTENTLESS" songs you still need a good template (production and mastering).

Do not be comfortable with where you are (NAIRALAND's Unblown Star).

Reach for the stars!

If I get to hear you on a well produced number, I will then form an opinion on you yourself.


.. Lest I forget,

Your track's File name is "SEARCH YOUR DIVA"


....But all I de hear na "SUCH A DIVA"

Such a Diva was Such a terrible song

..yeah.he should appreciate the fact that most of us care just enough to tell him the truth

airforce1 oh,write better songs,if you cant write a better song,i am a professional songwriter and lyricist,i will write for you

dont drop crap for us again

Cutehector:
I don't understand

i mean his ego wouldnt let him calm down and take advice.
You not yet a star, defntly u must take advice.

@OP I like the fact that you are being vivid. Hype is so powerful that's why Airforce1's song was so much anticipated, I believe he will improve. I amnt gonna hype this much but I am sure it won't be a waste of your mb. Listen to my song DESTINY by me SMASHY and tell me what you think. Click here >>>

ok I get you now... D reason why people fail is because they listen to praises.. Jesus askd his apostle what people thought about him, he knew there were side talks... Him runnin away from criticisms is a wrong move... If I were airforce1, I would take note of all the monikers that were writing dr critique on the song and create a thread and invyt them to convey their opinions in places they feel the song is whack and weigh out the options, take the good criticisms and drop d unmeaningful ones..
