FLGators and Eldee, I dont need to rely on "supporters" after I'm not running for mayor! Typical angry Jamaican, my a.rse. Nice try. Thats the best come back you can think of for being called out? If anybody is ashamed it's fellow Nigerians witnessing you two being prejudiced, it is YOU who needs to raise up out of my face. You are childish. Eldee called me a name and you are just as pathetic as him for not checking his ignorant arse on it. I am reasoning quite well it is you who can't rise to the occasion. Keep hating. We need the publicity. I wont waste anymore of my time on you two mongrels. Riversmann big up yourself Back on topic: I think Nigerian artists can make it on an international scale. As I stated before dont be afraid to intermingle with other nationalities. Get your names out there and soon enough it will draw people to dig deep and try to figure out more about your culture. Works like a charm. Nigeria is full of talented youth; even those out side of Nigeria so I don't see why not. |

Love you guys too. this is kind of off topic but you all talk kind of like Sierra Leoneans and Liberians. I've noticed that recently. . .just thought I'd mention that. |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by Nobody: 6:25pm On Mar 07, 2010 |

What a thread!! @poster, I get your point if you're talking of faking accents. So irritating especially when you can't do it right AND have no affiliation whatsoever with the country whose accent you're imitating. But when it comes to videos, I say go right ahead, Naija music videos as well as home videos tend to have very poor quality, poorly organized so if they wanna emulate Americans, sure why not? And don't tell me they incorporated the nudity from American and Jamaican videos because people wore less clothing in the olden days in Nigeria. @the argument between Mzdarkskin, Eldee, and co. . . .I'll say that Jamaican music is appreciated in America mostly by youths. Reggae is played more at parties than Hip hop music, it's a fact. But American music generally tops the charts, why? America likes to be on top of everyone else. |

chiogo: What kind of parties do you go to that have Reggae spinning more than hiphop?? Do they also have people with long hair smoking cannabis?? |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by Nobody: 6:38pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
eldee:Its usually a Frat party. College students, drinks, a lil smoke smoke. Stripper dress, bang bang. . . . etc. Actually Reggae songs are popular with the young generation. . . . |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by chic2pimp(m): 6:38pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
FL Gators: Yep. Grew up listening to the likes of KSA, Ebenezer Obey and Motown Records. I loff the tone of onyeka's voice. MzDarkSkin: We Too |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by Nobody: 6:41pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
chic2pimp:OMGGGG, Me too. Mainly because they're still Nigerians, not wannabees like our current artists. |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by chiogo(f): 6:42pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
eldee:Nope, college parties and my school is 'diverse' - Whites, Blacks(Africans, AA's, Caribbeans), Asians all go to these parties. Trust me I'm very particular about my hip hop music and the majority of the songs played are reggae. |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by eldee(m): 6:43pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
FL Gators: I know Bob Marley/80s reggae is popular with our generation. That's why I kept talking about modern Jamaican music. Those parties are legendary . . . if you mean the Asher Roth(I love College) type. |

FL Gators: chic2pimp: FL Gators: I wasn't born when those songs came out, but bhoy!!! I love to rock em songs so much |

ifedy:Did you also use to listen to them on Sundays, while doing your chores before going to church? Mehn, I miss home. Someone's always singing or humming while working.The radio is always playing with the best Obeg songs. Yinka Ayefele, Funmi Aragbaye, KSA, Obey, etc. . . . OMO PUPA eldee:Never been to a Frat party, but you can hear the booming reggae sounds and beats. And they sound like the current ones. |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by Nobody: 6:55pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
FL Gators: I listen to them anytime, even in class. Those oldies songs make sense die. And I remember when Sir Shina Peters (SSP) used to be the ish at bday parries then. |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by chiogo(f): 6:56pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
FL Gators:Def. current ones. Never heard any Bob Marley oo. I'm sure Marley was the whachamacaalit? 'introspective' type. These songs are just buck-wild, fast-paced with loud beats. |
Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by Nobody: 6:58pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
ifedy:LOL nice! Never heard of Sir Shina Peters, will search him on youtube. chiogo:Abi o, and you just wanna scream, lower the freaking volume |

Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by chic2pimp(m): 7:01pm On Mar 07, 2010 |

Re: Why Are Nigerian Musicians Forever Copying African American/jamaican Artistes? by Nobody: 7:02pm On Mar 07, 2010 |
FL Gators: Really Guess you were not born in naija then. That was the song this present generation danced to while growing up |

chic2pimp:Aren't you in the UK? But still, that's weird considering everybody in UK be tryna speak with a Jamaican accent I figured their music would be heavily influenced at the parties. |
