SuperSuave:

There is no (real) battle for supremacy as far as music from the street goes.  Olamide  is the overlord and he reigns supreme while other indigenous rappers tussle for leftover titles. Olamide occupies the influential positions that there is in ‘street music’ – he is the ‘voice of the street’, ‘the King of street’  and  ‘baddest (perhaps greatest) guy ever liveth.’

Apparently, the  King of the street  is content with the territory he commands. On several occasions, he has maintained that he won’t go out of his way to appeal to the international community – indeed, but what if international success was freely given and not needing strategic planning or extra effort, would Olamide still say no to  awoof?

Olamide is taking a conservative approach to this international market penetration and it is understandable considering that it seems better to have an egg today than a hen tomorrow. Olamide has a firm grip on the local market but some observers believe he is not just ‘street material,’ they say he is Hollywood material and they would rather bet on him to ‘blow’ on the international scene than on Barcelona in an El-Classico match. MMG rapper,  Wale  is one of such persons and he seems to see an international worthiness in Olamide. Thus he has given the YBNL boss opportunities to make a claim for international exposure not even once nor twice, but multiple times even, yet the YBNL boss chose to stay ‘street’.

Here is a list of 5 times Olamide had the opportunity but failed to impress the international community:



Olamide’s near absence on the field of international march doesn’t seem to be resulting from lack of interest but a function of unsuccessful attempts and maybe due to his conservatism. However, his local content which he is best at creating, are beginning to find their way to the audience abroad. For instance, US producer  Swizz Beats made a good show grooving to  Wo! and maybe it’s a sign that Olamide would break into the international market but honestly, that seems beyond belief.

What street if I may ask? The streets of Lagos? The streets of Benin? The streets of Enugu? The streets of Port harcourt? The streets of Jos? The streets of Kano? The streets of Abia? Which of these streets is Olamide the king and over lord of? You can't sit in a tiny box somewhere in Lagos and declare some degenerate as the king of rap music in Nigeria. Some Northerners (who are actually known for putting out 100% real hip hop) haven't heard or don't really care for the trash music Olamide puts out, same can be said about the PH real hip hop music scene. The rest of the indigenous rappers scrapping for left overs? Say that about Yung Six in Benin or Phyno in the entire south east and get a resounding smack across your face! Stupid clowns think everything revolves around the waste land. You can't just make a stupid blanket statement that Olamide is king of rap just because you are his fan. This is why he keeps flunking and would never be an international artiste.

Hip hop. No. Team Country music. Don Williams, Dolly parton, Kenny rogers, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Jim reeves, peasall sisters, Bill and Gaither. Etc Dz are just so soothing to me not some musical noise.......

I believe in love. Don Williams

Farewell Jamaica Don Williams

Wings of a dove Dolly parton. To mention few. Those are music soothing to my hearing.

In absence of Country music, gimme K1, Ebenezer obey, sunny ade etc. Where I can enjoy the real music with guitar and other instruments that gvs me joy. Not some Beat or is it jamz una dey call am
or Admiral dele abiodun. Those ones can play guitar while sleeping
