[quote author=NewDelhi post=95364159]I'll give it to lagbaja. His music are more captivating, better beats and rhymes to put you in a dance mood. Even if you no dance you go dey shake head. Give fela 10 mins to sing a song, he will use the first 5 mins for rythymless beats, 2 mins for lyrics wey no get meaning and the last 3 mins for another round of rhythmeless beats. Lagbaja was way better in my opinion. [/Likequote]Bro, seems u don't understand your comparerizem here, so u are giving it to lagbaja becos u can shake ur head when singing, have ever listen to BABA FELA MESSAGES WHEN SINGING? pls don't compare BABA FELA TO LAGABJA OOO, FELA NA HERO AND LEGEND OF EVERYTHING OOOO 3 Likes 1 Share |

Op,I wanted to dash you enough yabis this Thursday morning, but I have to restrain myself from doing so. You call fela's music trash? . I hope you're patient enough to appreciate the masterpiece of effort behind the composition of fela's music and why it always feature a long instrumentals to usher in the lyrics. If you are patient also, you will understand that each instrumentals of fela's music follows "behavior" depending on the mood music. Example, is look and laugh, a song he released after the death of his mother as a result of the injury she sustained at the hands of the army, courtesy of the Nigerian government. The song was sober and reflective, you can hear the pain, the trauma in fela's voice and in the instrumentals of the song. Fela's song is not for you to feel jumpy and groovy, even at that he released some songs that appeal to these taste too, like shakara, lady, and the likes. Fela is songs are composed and sung to address the Ills in the society and Africa at large. So for you upbeat folks, I understand if its not for you, but to downgrade fela's music as nonsense is unacceptable! What you consider nonsense is what others see as lyrical ingenuity of crafting meaning using unrelated scenarios patched together to convey a meaning. Let me give you an example, take "trouble sleep yanga go wake am" the song talks about people with different issues going in for them, how we love to do more than ourselves, hence the line "palaver you dey find", another is the song "zombie", he talks about soldiers without reasoning taking orders to perform all sort of evil àct during the military regime, in your wildest thought can you relate zombie to a soldier, who only act based on instructions? But fela did this lyrical creatives to craft a meaning out of a word we might not even think off. Fela's way out of everyone's league bro! 7 Likes 3 Shares |

You sure do not know music .To demean Fela's creative genius is to spit on his grave.Having said that,Fela had a degree in music from Trinity College, Oxford.In the 1980s,Motown Records that had artistes like Lionel Riche and co came to Nigeria and offered Fela $1 million for 5 albums.He turned it down.If he was singing trash or nonsense,a label like Motown would not travel some.3000 miles to try to persuade him. Have you listened to some of his hits like :Water ,E No get Enemy;Sorrow ,Tears and Blood,Beast of No Nation etc? And ,did you know the late Hugh Masakele of South Africa?If you listen to classical music, you'll easily rubbish the works of Mozart ,Beethoven,Shubert. Their works have timeless expressions across ages. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

It's an act of disrespect to compare the ALMIGHTY FELA with lagbaja. Who is lagbaja? Lagbaja started well but later deviated. He has no focus neither does he have courage and he lost his message. If you know much about music you won't try this kind of gibberish next time. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Don’t you ever compare them, they are not on the same level of music. Stop mumu comparison... Fela is Fela, Lagbaja is Lagbaja. Fun fact; 4 out of those nominated by Grammy for the best international along side with Burna boy are all heavily influenced by Fela, infact they are carrying on Fela’s music. You will be surprised that lagbaja was heavily influenced by Felas music too smh Fela never made his money as an artist in Nigeria, NO! He made his money singing for the white folks, Nigerians only appreciated Fela more after he died. Never compare Fela and Lagbaja! Say No to Mumu comparison. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The Op must be mad or be a kid in his 20s to even come up with this absurdity of comparing the great Fela with his very own protege in Lagbaja. I stopped reading your shit the moment you said Fela's beats are rhythymless....like seriously Are you normal? Do you even understand music at all? Look, there's no musician dead or alive that can lace Fela's shoes when it comes to developing rhythms that blow off your mind, you just need to have an ear for good music to get into the groove. All Fela's music starts with a build up from one or two instruments, with a gradual introduction of other instruments in a systemic rhythm to produce a blend that has not been found anywhere else in this world. Even some white men came all the way to Lagos in the early 70s if I'm correct just to "steal Fela's music" You lots think music is all about singing about money and women and making a lot of noise? Little wonder one kid was comparing Burna Boy with Fela. Good music is hard to come by these days, the reason I'm stuck with the likes of Bob Marley and Fela. Next time, you compare Lagbaja with Seun or Femi, not the greatest African musician of all time! 5 Likes 1 Share |

Who is this fellow comparing Lagbaja with Fela? You obviously do not understand music. Lagbaja plays good music, no doubt. As a matter of fact, he studied music in OAU, but excuse me sir, It is insulting to compare him with the legendary Fela. Fela was not a musician, Fela was is music itself! Years after his deaths, his works are receiving awards all over the world. This month, a UK University gave a posthumous award to Fela. Also, Lagbaja simply picked Fela's music and introduced heavy percussion with Yoruba talking drums, Bata, gudugudu, omele and other instrument used by Fuji and Juju musicians. Lagbaja simply plays groovy music, danceable music. Indeed, I will call his music AFRO-JUJU or AFRO-FUJI. Listen to the instrumentalisation of Fela, they are out of this world. Sometimes ago, I was learning sax. I easily mastered Lagbaja's solo, but Fela's work, even most professionals will fumble. Everything Fela played was manual. He wrote every musical note, from drums to lead, bass, trumpet, sax, sekere, agogo, keyboard etc. In his case, Lagbaja music is hybryd of digital and manual production, Please OP, you need to withdraw your statement and apologize to the musical world for this indiscretion. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

OP this your thread get as e be. It’s like comparing Hazard to C Ronaldo. Both are good players but one in on another level. Same with Lagbaja and Fela but mehn! How dare you say that Fela’s music have no rhythm. Fela’s music is spiritual while Lagbaja’s is physical. It is only Fela that will turn a total nonsense into a global sensation. Not taking anything away from Lagbaja but give it up for Fela. 2 Likes 1 Share |
