This is the issue. We keep electing people who have no love for humanity. The masses are making huge sacrifices but the elite are just living their lives. I thought they said that this subsidy removal will affect the elites more? They don't seem to be affected

Na who we go come elect las las?
Everyone na the same.
Even u if u enter u go flex ur people tire.

If only Em can go back to d days of mocking bird, when I'm gone, beautiful, lose yourself, toy soldier etc, dat was Em on fire. He murdered Jay Z in renegade. Nas also said to Jay Z " Em murdered u on ur own shit" ether(2001) doz were interesting times in hip hop.


Lyrically Rakim is no.1, Nas 2nd, Em 3rd. But impact and influence I give it to PAC. PAC 1st, Em 2nd, Jay Z 3rd.

Then my overall five best MCs of all time goes thus: Rakim 1, Tupac and Nas joint 2nd best, Em and Biggie/ Jay Z joint 5th

On point.
But Nas for me any day any time

FalseProphet1:
This Kano governor talks too much. He should get to work.

Pls educate me. Is it very dangeriuos.

Gas , even cooking gas cylinders if it leaks can cause explosions. How much more cars.
How many oyibo people are even using it ?

Av boarded vehicles that carry the cng in the boot when I was schooling in Benin.

My fear has always been that of leakage and high pressure etc.

Once u can appreciate the danger of carrying a gas cylinder about for days, and months u Shud be able to appreciate it's dangers too

PrinceDoctor:
Who is not a thief from your region? You are still pained that your cri.minal senators couldn't match up with him in the quest for SP. HE GOA is far better than your Governors who stole so much that nothing is left to even construct a wooden bridge or buy wheelbarrow and weeding hoe for empowerment.

He stole but gave us the best stadium, best road network by a state government in the country, a functional airport with MRO, free and compulsory education, paid WAEC fee, raised many youths to stand tall in life, etc.

Your people can't match his strength, but you're free to keep wailing.

Why u dey reply the guy. Like say he himself no dey thief for him workplace or cheat people up and down

franchasofficia:
Aisha Buhari made Bola Tinubu President by working on her husband and some Presidency cabals and even INEC to favor Tinubu.


Meanwhile, Aisha and Emefiele are 5&6 as Emefiele made Aisha a billionaire through FOREX waivers.



You cannot indict Emefiele without indicting Buhari and his entire family and in-laws, unless you are just being selective and mischievous

They no born emefelie well make e mention Aisha.

U think say drug peddlers dey mention their oga names?

Akharmony:
Very foolitch nd mumu CBN governor. When i saw him at the villa going for hand shake with Tinubu i knew Emefiele has no sense in his brain...He will b made to dance to the music.

Walahi the guy no just dey alright at all

U see black man eh.
That is the difference between a black man and a white man.

Even if a white man is stealing, the society, community, state and country will still be moving forward. And they won't steal too much.

But black man wil steal and purge, steal and purge, steal and purge like a fool.


Was emefelie employed to be fishing out money to people anyhow?

People are saying buhari this and that. So emefelie doesn't know what is morally right and wrong?

Someone who was already a billionaire o

LeyeWrites:
NAS himself disagrees with you

Lol him no fit unless out if humility.

LeyeWrites:
Music is the language of the universe... it's sound.

Fela senior those guys ....Fela is doing orchestra and jazz...Jazz is the hardest form of music ...They had to go school, Fela don't need it. Born with it.


In hip hop though....After Rakim it's NAS.

Hmm ok. But shocker for u.....fela attended trinity college of music in london. But that doesn't take anything away frm him sha.


That's why I always implore our today young artists to go to music schools to sharpen their vocal cords and skills.

And No, after Nas, rakim.

LeyeWrites:
That's why I don't rate Jay Z...dude been trying to overcomplicate shit


Ain't nobody have time to be doing research on a simple line


That's why I like EM

Em of Old was my favorite. These days em Raps in a fast and wierd way.

Em was good on songs like sing for the moment, superman, renegade with jayz, etc.


This new Eminem be like AI robot

LeyeWrites:
Bring it out.


By the way, it seems your idea of lyrically doesn't transcend hip hop.

Hip hop is just a genre in music....MJ sang many genre

It does. But hip hop is number 1 genre where lyrical content matters alot cos they rap about too many diverse things. Followed by rock.

Pop is mostly love things na. So wetin Dem want see write.

But I no go comme t of mj thread again o. Una don yab me tire.

Ruskov:
Its fine. Take care.

Chai. Una don worry me with this Michael Jackson matter. I no go comment on Michael Jackson thread again o.

Omo see yabbing because of my comment

Daytonbale:
Nice development , they should open for food import too,

Una too like food. Be like na abuja u dey

LeyeWrites:
Lyrics, there are writers.

We're talking about artists.

Ability to make songs that have impact and convey emotions people can relate to.

How many people can relate to the songs of those guys you put up there?

How many people can relate to MJ songs?


Man in the Mirror is evergreen.

Heal the world is iconic


Clearly you don't know what an artist it.

An artist merges emotions with lyrics to make a soulful song. It's becomes a song when anyone can sing it, and it evokes emotions.


These people you mentioned are great at one thing, MJ is great at everything put together.

Like NAS now, he's a Shakespeare of lyrics. And that's just to it. But as simple as the lines in Heal the world is it still beat in message anything NAS can and has put out. That's what being an artist is.

For where?
Let me be king of pop or entertainment.

But pls don't compare him lyrically to Nas o.

I can put out simple Nas lyrics that will blow mj out

LeyeWrites:
Using metaphors don't make you a better lyricist. Neither does using triple entendres.

Simplicity is king.

How many lyrics of NAS can a layman understand?

How many lyrics of MJ can a layman understand?

That's your better artist right there. MJ.

He communicates messages and emotions with ease. MJ was pitch perfect. Hit high and low notes without autotune.


Blood on the dance floor for example. You listen, you know what's he's talking about.

Smooth Criminal. You listen, you get it.

You come to NAS, then you need a book and a pen to understand how each word connects to each other. If there are double meaning and all. That's greatness?

NAS only appeal to people who think life is about making simple things as music difficult to understand. It's not.


Now, you say MJ is top two greatest entertainer of all time.

Who's Number one then? Let's see.

Nas is complex in a simple way.

The rappers who try to be too complex and end up confusing fans are Lupe fiasco, black thought, rakim etc.


Nas has the best use of the English language of any artist of any genre. Make I no quote his verses so that u no go shock.

As for top 2 entertainers.....I'll give Michael Jackson number 1. Shey ur happy now

Other great entertainers are bruce Springsteen, and Elvis Presley and even James brown

Ruskov:
Yeah, right. "Which makes him greater than Michael Jackson"
Why isn't he getting Grammy's ?

Omo do u know how many great artists and bands haven't won the Grammy?

The who
Sia
Tupac
Bob Marley
Patti Smith
Buster rhymes etc

LeyeWrites:
This means you actually don't know anything about music.


Music is about chords progression, arrangements, melody and harmony.

Can you listen to Thriller and pick out by ear the chords used in them? The different chords used in Elton's Sacrifice and see the beauty in how they are arranged to make sense?

The only thing you talk about is lyrics lyrics. Anyone can come up with poetic lyrics! It doesn't make you a musician.

Now, the ability to write those lyrics on the chords, melody and harmony is what makes you a musician.

A musician is a composer, singer, songwriter, instrumentalists, director, and producer of music.

Now MJ compose songs, writes, plays only piano as an instrument, directs music but do not produce.

That's why I initially said when it comes to being a musician, folks like Prince stands tall above MJ. Prince could play 16 musical instruments at professional level. He wrote. He directed. He sang. He produced. That's a musician.

NAS doesn't do those stuffs.

To give you a perspective of who a musician is, think Fela. That's a musician.

None of the guys in your list comes close to Fela as a musician.

But as an artist most of them supercede him.

You get?

And yes I get ur point. Made a lot of sense. But in hip hop most times the producers , mixers etc do those things while the rapper goes thru his thought processes.

Those artists I mentioned are better than fela o.

Don't forget most British and American or Canadian artists go thru music schools o .

They know all these stuffs.

My argument was based on lyrics.

So if u goota challenge me, bring proof with lyrics.
Incase uv forgotten, hip hop is perhaps the only genre of music where lyrics is considered king. That's why the best rappers have the best contents.


Followed by rock and all it's subforms.


Michael was mostly pop. They don't really care about lyrics like that.

mayor1814:
Michael Jackson combined everything - music, entertainment, dance moves, popularity, fame, lyrical content, influence etc Anything music he's the number one in this era.


Nas is a great lyricist. I always rate him up there with Rakim. But in this era, no artist can be compared to Michael. John Lennon could have been a worthy rival if he had lived longer but right now dead or alive Michael Jackson is the best music artist of all time.




Michael Jackson is to music as Lionel Messi is to football as Muhammad Ali is to boxing as Michael Jordan is to basketball.

Ur right about everything except the lyrics part av been emphasizing.
He was good musically.

Not exceptional lyrically.
He was no Bob Dylan.


And pls equate football with maradona. Not Messi.

Josegun:
Nice....
Thinking of converting my V6 Acura car to this CNG, but I don't know the cost implications.
If it's going to be cheaper than petrol or not

If u like ur life avoid gas.
I don't know why u guys are happy about this gas thing.

Autobot05:

.this is an insult to Micheal Jackson .

Lyrically? Don't think u know those artists o.

Don't test their penmanship o.

Basquiat was a gay america artist.


Put the pieces together.


Naija male artists and other entertainers, actors etc are wearing earrings up and down like gay gays. Disgusting.


If u quote me be sensible.
American artists wear ice or studs.

Naija guys wear big earings the size of a bottle top like gays about.


Nonsense

Prince is a musician.

As an Artist, Prince is nowhere near MJ.

Same goes for everyone you listed there.


Less I forget, when Mike passed on, the earth stood still
When prince passed on, even NASA had to create a purple nebula via the Hubble space telescope in his honor


Write, compose and production. m

Wait, NAS is a better artist than MJ?

Which NAS song is greater than Earth Song?

Or Man in the mirror?


You're stretching it man

MJ is the greatest artist of the century.

Oga, lyrically, mj is nowhere near Michael stipes of R.E.M or Bono or anyone I mentioned there.

I have all Mike's albums and lyrics. They are ok but not top tier.



U mentioned Nas. Even many years back, a certain CNN analyst ranked Nas the greatest Lyricist of all time( of any genre).

If u like I can quote 50 Nas lyrics that will make u sit up and start listening to even other artists.
Hope u know Nas lyrics are being studied at Harvard by professors?

I know lyrics frm bands frm the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc to this era.
I know lyrics frm artists that topped charts in UK, America, Australia etc .
Rock, hip hop,blues, soul, bluegrass, indie pop etc.


But I tell u what, no one comes close to Nas.
Am talking about poetic lyrics that will make the great Shakespeare hide his face in utter disbelief.

Like I said, it's just my opinion tho

mayor1814:
I respect your list but the only match for Michael Jackson there is John Lennon of the BEATLES fame. The likes of Prince, Bono of U2, Paul McCartney of the BEATLES, Bruce Springsteen and Elton John are great music artists no doubt but they are not as great as Michael Jackson.

Thank u. Ur assertion is a fair one.
But am inclining towards penmanship ( lyrics)
Those artists I mentioned write better than Michael. Far better.
Infact I'll rank Nas the greatest Lyricist of the last hundred years, of any music genre( CNN already crowned him that).


But if ur talking entertainment wise, I can put him in top 2 or make him the greatest.

FOJEM:
Why you come disgrace yourself like this? This na your so-called list?
Chai, Diaris God oooooo!

Wetin u sabi about artists?
E sure me say nicky minaj na Yr favourite artist
