Top 8 Lyrically Empty Songs From Nigerian Artists by Nobody: 2:52pm On Aug 05, 2015
1) Iyanya – Kukere:This song was all every Nigerian wanted to listen to in a club when it was first released.Reason for this is simply because of the widely received dance for thesong; not because the song has message content in its lyrics. Most people who know this song can’t mention a line in the song aside ‘Kukere’. You won’t blame them because that was basically the only thing Iyanya said throughout the song.

2)Lil Kesh – Shoki:This song did a good job describing the ‘shoki dance’ in a confusing way. This song would have probably not made this list if the lyrics had properly described the dance movethe song was all about. Despite the incoherent lines in the song, it was a club hit for reasons best known to the wonderful Nigerians who danced and still dance to the song.

3)KCee – Pull Over:KCee is a star on the Nigerian music scene today because he’s been successfully making songs Nigerians who go theclub can shake their body to. That’sthe number reason; the second reason was his best career decisionever; to go solo (we all know who he separated from). This list would have been very incomplete if Pull Over wasn’t there because this songhas all the good qualities needed tomake this list even though nobody remembers there is a song like this.

4)Timaya – Gbagam ft Deettii & Phyno:Timaya is very good at what he does; making club hits. But Nigerians can make do with occasional music with lyrics we can understand from Timaya. All dance with no message makes fans feel empty after dancing their energy out. Timaya needs to understand his songs are for people with brains that thinks, whoas much as want to dance want to listen to lyrics they understand (notlyrics only the artist understands)

5)Timaya – Bum Bum:This is the second song Timaya has sung about ladies’ b*ttocks. One would have expected the second one of the two will take a different angle tothe subject (yash); but no, Timaya decided to stick to his guns and feed his fans with very similar ‘non-content’. Bum Bum was no doubt a hit with no lyrical line to remember after you are done dancing. Well you should at least remember ‘bum bum’

6)Timaya – Ukwu:Timaya tries to make his fans happy with club bangers no doubt. But he does thisto the detriment of what music should be all about. This particularsong will only make you dance andif you are watching the video can teach you some things most Nigerian parents wouldn’t.

7)KCee – Limpopo:This massive hit has one of the best beats Nigeria has ever heard. At the same time it has one of the worse lyrical contents we’ve also ever heard. KCee could be heard repeating himself almost throughout the song. KCee needs to know that as much as Nigerians want something to dance to, we also want lyrics we can make meaning of; not disjointed lyrics you need a compass to trace and piece together.

CDQ – Indomie (Remix):If you listened to the original song and you felt like ‘WTF was this whole song all about’, there is no doubt you will be more confused when you listen to the remix; particularlyDavido’s part. It was obvious the artists that featured on the remix ran out of ideas on whatever it is they were saying as they all at somepoint had to start making reference to the producer as part of the lyrics. Olamide got so stuck on his part that he had to tell his listeners that he is drunk (like they didn’t already know?).

feel free to add yours.........
