Wow! Are you sure?
I beg to disagree.

We heard "Make I tell dem the Koko" and "Mo bo lowo won" before "You are my African queen".

That's what I think.

Lol. D'banj came out in 2004 or so. Tuface has been around since '98 or '97 self. He was featured by Tony Tetuila in Omode Meta and also Ogogoro (Ogogoro be like woman...). Tuface is Eedris and Tetuila contemporaries in a way. In fact there still 10s of musicians who made hit song before D'banj (and P-Square) took over.

I neva hear d songs.. Never liked any of his songs as 'classics'..... my own concern na how d original "Prince" of afrobeat go dey feel cheesy

Instead of to reinvent him style, seun still dey sing fela style of afrobeat, & him dey expect to blow cheesy

Afrobeat is different from Afrobeats. Afrobeat is Fela while British named naija hip-pop/pop Afrobeats. Notice the 's'. Burna named his as afro fusion.

True. Same happens everywhere. Even if we say the album is entirely not good enough which I still doubt, we can say the same for many other albums...
from different Nigerian artists... But tbh , you and I know that not every song from the playlist would be a favorite.

Personally, I picked : Monsters You Made ( reasons best known to me... Gives me this nostalgic feeling of action and crime thrillers ... Yeah .. but that's by the way.) as a favorite. I even believe it will be adopted as a hit movie's soundtrack soon enough... It would be fun to see someone like Chris Hemsworth( Don't know if that's the correct spelling. You know him as Thor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) star in movie like Extraction 2. A gun battle scene maybe escape scene involving shootouts and Burna's “ Monsters you made” playing in the background. Mehn... Imagine that... Such a great feeling I swear.

Others from the album I enjoyed are : 23, Time Flies and Bank on It.

So pick yours. You simply can't love everything.

But saying the album is wack. Nah! bro! you lack taste for good music... Or you just simply a fellow artist hating for no reason. ( Even Writers do it too- we get jealous sometimes when our competition surpass what we benchmarked for them)

Just get over it. Live life. Celebrate others and one day your turn will come. Peace.

It is funny how you people call someone with a divergent view a name, "lack taste for good music". Can you list the criteria for good music? Most of the songs in the album are boring. I think he lay more emphasis of passing message across than making the songs exciting. However, he forgot people feel music first before feeling the message or listening to the lyrics. Also for me, 2 much of auto tune. Sounds are similar, little divergence. That being said, it might grow on someone with time. But will take his last album over this.

It has been on replay in the last 24 hours in my home. I bet Nigerians won't appreciate the piece of work. It's truly an album that deserves album of the year. The one part I don't really like are the skits in the album - the skits are of western origins and voices. The sound and beats remains Afro and even though it is produced by Diddy the album still contains the original Burna sound. Burna sounds are timeless and unique. Good album overall.


Modified:

The last time I listen to an album that was overall enjoyable was Tubaba' Grass 2 Grace. Burna's Twice As Tall has no bad song, maybe just one weak tract. And no one can listen to that album and not find at least 3 songs enjoyable. I know this cos my fiancee doesn't fancy most Naija songs; she calls them noise but she still expressed love for about 3 different tracts. So there's something for everyone except the haters or those who think Burna, Wiz and Davido could not called greats at the same time.

A good song must be made of good lyrics and melody that is pleasant to enjoy. It is believed that a good song can helps its audience to feel good and get de-stressed. A good song speaks of positive feeling and help in creating a balance in sensitivity, and natural purgation of positive emotions. - according to Google .

Bad music? –many things qualify a song bad. being too repetitive, using chord structures that do not fit well together, bad players, bad singers, bad rhythms, sometimes people will use the same beat or chords for many songs and once you hear that so many times it gets annoying, and many other factors can make a bad song.

Check the Calibre of people he collabed with on this project. I' don't know about you but With Someone like Chris Martin of Coldplay , Naughty by Nature or even our own African Cold play (pun intended here) Sauti Sol then Burna's current album makes the mark of good music.


Our Nigerian music industry is saturated with so much noise with meaningless lyrics. Ahh! let me not even start with the stupid #challenges they do to self promote. Atleast when we get someone who gives us something different we should be grateful.

Or are you saying he should have Zlatan Ibile on this one. That reminds me how often do you still play Killin Dem ? Noise that would have been wack had it not been burna spiced it up.

You made a very good point here. Same thing Diddy said in the second track "Alarm Clock".

What you call yourself matters. Burnaboy made a claim to be the African Giant and He walked the talk by becoming Twice as Tall. He is not bragging or downgrading other artistes. He is just being himself and very confident with the fact that he is giving his best

lol. Tuface was already a household name in 1999. Along with plantashun boiz. I did solo songs that were in 1999 as well. He blew that same year when he was featured by Tony Tetuila along side ruff, rugged and raw on the track omode meta. That was the number song in 1999

dont get me wrong. did I say the album is wack ? I said do you expect his fellow Nigerian musicians to talk down their colleague's album ?Professional artists will never do that. That was the mistake Waconzy made by running down his fellow musician, Davido during an interview with Ebuka. Where is Waconzy today ? Burna boy is a great musician. No doubt about it, but what I was trying to say is that you can't expect unbiased assessment on the album from the album executive producer, diddy and his fellow musicians. We the public, fans are in the best position to assess the quality of music. Though I haven't listened to the album, but I know Burna boy will never disappoint.

Someone asked Siri to play the biggest song in the world right now and it played way too big by Burna boy. I was so surprised the same Siri that couldn't find Burna's name when he fought with Davido.My own is just that this is Burna time every hardcore Burna fan know that his best Album is Outside but was less promoted. African giant went Gold in Holland and had Grammy nom.Some people don't really like this album as I predicted though but this album might win him his Grammy.You can save my reply it will.

Some songs and features were removed from the album to suit the purpose of the album. Forget Burna does not care about any Nigerian fans his fans are in SA,UK,France and Holland. The album is clearly a Grammy worthy album that's its like that go and listen to Femi kuti and Angelique kidjo songs they were less amusing but they won Grammy because of the impact they made not because their fans were dancing to it.As a Burna fan Outside>African Giant>TAT.
