Goodmusic in ajegunle abi Sony music under oshodi bridge?

Ohh sorry i've forgotten y'all local cant know about that

Buy naija, listen naija, listen olamide and grow the naira

aaronson:
Well, As much as I hate the Nigeria music industry and the artistes. Olamide tends to be worst in limelight because he gained popularity off indigenous language and models of Nigeria interactions such as slangs, salutations, Nigeria street appeal, Apparel, photo Pose, Flows and flowery, Misongynistic potray of women and the likes.

So why isn't he recognized internationally.

Reason is those indigenous factors aforementioned is difficult for the international community to understand but it makes sense to Nigerian, Not just any Nigerian but the gullible and half baked educated once, the street hustlers, touts, loosed girls and club house.

As a 21st century man who relies on his brain for responsible living, Olamide is a bad influence to me and youngsters looking up to him. Wizkid and Davido are also bad influences but the difference is they use understandable pidgin/English and mostly sing about love to women , club and burning money but in English so the international community easily understands what they saying.

Warning- To you parents who dream of raising the Einstein, Tesla or Bill Gates of tomorrow then Wizkid, Davido & Olamide are all bad influence to your children.

I concur.

once he makes money from its not bad

sapiosexual1:
Olamide rose rapidly to the top by singing jargons and has remained there by signing more jargons. Obviously because we Nigerians are intellectually lazy to critique whatever songs come out. We simply go well with jargons.
Check out his lyrics, does it make any sense to an educated mind? Now compare his lyrics to other African artistes of international acclaim (pls don't mention Davido), then you'll see why he remains a street boy.
PS : Artistes like Wizkid, Iggy Azalea, Lil Wayne, 2face, Kofi olomide began on the street, today they have gone global.

Putting Lil Wayne in your list of sensible musicians just floored your whole comment. Do you listen to what dude raps about? He is no better than Olamide in the Jargons region. All his songs have at least half a dozen mentions of p&&sy in them.

thesicilian:

Awilo sings in French, an international language. In short, I'm sure you're aware that French is an official language in Nigeria while Yoruba is not

French is an international Language, agreed.
French official language in Nigeria. WRONG
Yoruba is a major Language in Nigeria.
Get your facts straight.

And by the way, the song "Gangnam Style" was sang in what International Language?

saintdennis:


Exactly, we are not humble because we wanna be 'humble' but because we wanna portray a good image and also in order to 'gain favour'.

Humility isn't just a form of pride, it is the highest level of pride.

Humility is being TOO PROUD to allow your pride(ego) negatively affect your opportunity to receive something immediate or in future.

that is why some people when upset make statements like "if no b condition how this smallie wan dey talk to me anyhow". "Imagine a common security man with ordinary SSCE insulting me just because I wanted to submit my application @ the bank". Etc.

Also people are only nice to others below their level in life because 'no one knows tomorrow'

During elections A godfather / politician will humble himself b4 the electorate because he's too proud to loose that election, he needs to win that election to further boost his pride(ego). I mean who wouldn't be proud to be called governor, senator or honourable?

In summary...humility is a form of pride, it's just got better PR

wow 10 millions likes for this! u just gave me one of the best explanation on earth! thanks I really appreciate

Hope u don't mind if I borrow ur slogan -HUMiLITY IS A FORM OF PRIDE ! Cuz thats my new slogan

syntekelite:

we are not slaves anymore,lilwayne,kanye,jayz,2chainz,all cannot make it in our nigerian industry let alone collect kora awards...so why should we bow to americans just cos tgey have a bettèr economy and government who did the needful for their music industry..moreover 70% of american rappers spew recycled and vulgar lyrics,why is olamide's lyrics bad and not theirs?

why is everyone shouting america; america: am talking about intl recognition; you are talking about america rappers: is it only when you are known in america that you have intl recognition ??

Fash20:
he never said he needed BET award ok He is a local rapper.who the Bleep told you the BET is synonymous to progress!


reminds me one of his punch lines


"Ibile buruku ni mio H-factor abale sha or kin tabon"

Meaning

"I'm terribly local,you will notice H-factor or I shell"

So, my brother he never said he wanted any of those things by forming what he is not. He is a local rapper and he is contented with that. If his local way can get him BET fine and if otherwise Bleep it.

Mk dem call Olamide na or DAVIDO. Instead nah davido dei go find dem. Wizzzzzzzzzy

FeestoNOVA:


I really understand where you coming from but let be realistic been a king in your country is far more enough than been a boi boi in another country.

If you saying these are the reasons why Olamide has gone international then I would gladly ask you to tell me why Banky and Sound Sultan hasn't gone international or even Darey because if na talent Wizkid and Davido no reach ds people unless of course you throw in sentiment
What everybody want to achieve in life is different if Wizkid and Davido feel they need to feature all the international artiste in the world to appeal to people den so be it
If Olamide decide to remain local so be it they all have different agenda but there goal still remains the same to make money.
Fame without money is nonsense plus I think is high time we stop chasing after this people if truly our sounds and music don evolve then they should chase after us
Bottomline do what works for you and that exactly what Olamide is doing

for ur information, if u look in2 it, x only Davido dat x pusueing intl fame. Wizkid was in 9ja, drake did d remx of ojueleegba, he was in 9ja drake calld hm 4 one dance, he was in 9ja crisbrown calld him 4 a tour as special gues, rkelly too, tinie tempah too etc...... So guy do u undstnd dat u making a wrong statemnt bout wizkid Say dt 2 davido paying meek mill, sraemund, or wateva 4 collabos. Alicia keys n husband(swizzbeat) admires n comment him.. Olamide local n rubish no go mk am go anywhr.
If u born 2 b a star, bro no h8r wll stp u.... Dose pipu r d once wanting wizkid.. G if u c tru tok. Americans r music dem self, evry 9ja musician wnt 2 get dr, n wizkid x wanted dere... Diffrence clear??

Who International recognition epp?

D'banj went international, where is the koko master today?

And some of the points are outrightly ridiculous and stupid, because he doesn't dress corporate? Really? Did Fela dress corporate?

These jokers with nothing to write about should go and work on being known in their Local govt first before attempting to throw stone at someone for not being international.

Op who you epp? You don bath? Smellos!

The guy lost it when i saw "He doesnt dress corporate" how can you be that stupid? such that you are attributing International recognition to dressing in a certain way. Please tell me if Diamond sings in English. Ojuelegba and Gongo Aso are songs that were widely accepted across continents. Were they composed in English ? We just have bunch of muppets on here. This explains why i only come here once a week these days.

From Reminisce's Hit track titled "Local Rapper", feat. Olamide and Phyno

The whole Nigerian social media space is being taken over by people who can't think straight, it's exhausting.

habaha i knw say wizkid get talent die. I respect dat dude wella. But na pple like huna dey make us insult am (wizkid). Olamide is wel o.k in both monetry and fame aspects along side others, der bot have their lane. If wiskid try what ola is doing, den ola try what wiz is doing, u should knw what else will happen.... Most of dis artist are cheats. Der will collect 500k outside Nigeria but will demand for 5mill and above..... I belive music is not 4 only educating. Music should either entertain, educate, inform among odas. So if Ola music doesn't educate u, try d entertainment. It has a function......



Peace.
