I dont seem to understand why our artistes (Rappers and Singers) seem to be trying desperately for American recognition. Is d Nigerian and African market not big enough? Lets look at it dis way: 1) American media is stuck with their own entertainment, they hardly import any form of entertainment (be it music or movies) frm other parts of d world into America. 2) Black record label owners in America does not want any competition whatsoever from any Nigerian or African act dat is trying to break into their circle thereby rivalling their own artistes. They dont want dat datz why they behave as if Nigeria doesnt have a thriving music industry. 3) There are a million and one upcoming artistes in America trying to break into their mainstream. So dis becomes a handicap to any Nigerian act trying to force his/her music into American mainstream. My advice for our artistes is dat they should concentrate on our Nigerian and African market which is very BIG, like P Square and M.I said. America cannot ignore us forever cos a golden fish has no hiding place. I know in d near future, they ll come for us cos our music is now revolutionalised. All we have to do is to be original and even if we borrow anything, let it be infused with our African sounds. So in d meantime Nigeria and Africa should be our focus. Let our artistes stop acting like desperados. Rome was not built in a day. My One Naira contribution.

Seriously, it's outrageous when you hear stories of people like d'banj and don jazzy paying millions to American artists just to feature them in their videos, and the funny thing is that their music cannot appeal to people in the us
