African Bieber is lost but still seeing relevance. a pity his Usher Raymond( banky W) caused most of this...


95% of artistes only freestyle with beats and they package it and call it hit and we feel they've sweated it out well to earn our response.


Well I don't celebrate mediocrity, I'll prefer a lyrical song that has a message than one that constantly talks of yansh, hole, boobs, how it went down in the room, how the bottles were popped, how the party was hot and cold, how they chilled. All these can't stand a decade.


They should learn from Tupac whose hits were made from a soul that expressed his thoughts from deep inside. smh.


Wonder where Lil Kesh came from sef. He talks, he doesn't sing sef.

As for wizkid or whatever he calls himself, he needs to track back, cos even till now, it's only his first hits I still feel are hits

Don't dull

because Tu pac was among america's MOST WANTED, his LIFE GOES ON UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

Oh but you can't blame the artistes. This issue is not just about music, it affects the whole creativity industry in Nigeria; from music to radio programs to Movies to Entertainment events and even Commercials.

Do you think Nigerian advertising agencies cannot come up with stunning creative commercials like those breathtaking (Viral) adverts you see outside Nigeria? Ofcourse they can! It's just that the campaign would fail to achieve the exposure or attraction like it would abroad, because the general Nigerian audience would simply not "get" it because they don't want to think deep and hate to stress their brain. They would rather go for something simple and plain like Saka, Mama-do-good, Gerrarahere, caro, on-top-your-matter, kukere, bombom, Limpopo, bold5 babes, add your favorite stuff.

Anything that won't stretch their mind or get them thinking. You get?

The reason why deep lyrics and general creativity makes it abroad is because the audience appreciates it, so the artistes know they will be rewarded for all the time and effort they put into the work. But here we have seen too many artistes that started deep but later became shallow due to this fact. Even Inyanya started deep with that "Love Truly" track but the audience just scratched their head. Then he went loco with "kukere" and they started Laughig and paying him.

So Please don't blame wizkid or any other Nigerian entertainer for doing "rubbish" cos Really, that's what people respond to in this part of the world.

We shouldn't always rush to condemn these artists. They're just fulfilling the market demands. You can't expect to hear a Cobham song or Frank Edward track in a club. Our dance music has ensured the foreign songs don't get that much airplay in clubs, radio etc unlike those days.
Even in US, Trap guys like Young Thug who sounds like a wounded Mosquito still sells mad. Variety is the spice of life. Although, our artists could still do more to improve their craft.
We're getting there.

kai it hafe do,i must laff...hahahahahakakajakahahaha.@wounded mosquitoe

Bros I disagree with you on Praiz ooo, Dare is a fair comparison to John Legend.

If I want to listen to beats, I go to the club, the music on my phone can kill someone coz it will sound boring to them. I have two albums of Brymo on my phone.. that's music.. 2face.. etc

All of them join. Just used Praiz cos of their vocal similarities. You're right and it's pitiable.

To think of leaving footprints in the Sands of time seem not to be how 'they' think.

what they do now, is make the junk music and the money at the same time... Forgetting about the future. Asa will always keep selling albums, coz they are evergreen etc..
