to be honest it is the fate of most artistes

short shelf life, surrounded by hangers on - sometimes even your agent and accountant go dey chop you

there is a rap show queens featuring brandy , eve and someone who i forget as artistes past their prime.
i am sure you saw video of bobby brown crashing in one video vixens house

and we have this dramatization of the fall of a rapper from grace

Ibime:
Freestyle went to Yankee and joined the Navy there

Ibime:
At the time these guys left the industry, they could make more money (and promised more longevity) being a regular professional in USA than a star in Naija

I know beating teams with 8, 9 or 10 goals might have a side effect psychologically but Arteta should think of the positive effects too. That was a rubbish second half. I was expecting us to go for more goals.

GloriousGbola:
It will be very very hard as corruption has been institutionalized in the passport office and the officers from oga at the top to cleaner all feel entitled to the money from bribes and fast tracking.

It can be done. Oloyede did it after all. But it will be hard and will require a hands on approach or a really focused team.

Something as simple as online registration will be sabotaged by the team in house.

You will continue to hear network is down. We have to do it offline or locally.

Told you
No be naija again, these people don't have business with heaven aje

izzou:


[color=royalblue]The guy that was my agent is my good friend.

If the Minister was really working, that guy would be out of business.

On Saturday, we hungout and the 10k bill we incurred was settled by him...Passport money.

This Interior guy just sabi how to use the media to talk pass..Some are already hailing him as the next best thing after John the Baptist

izzou:
[color=royalblue]That guy go tall pass MI

His track with Blaise.

Omoh! Freestyle came too early[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Sip easy plenty lighter for here

Jamz that year

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Digital money really revolutionised music.

These guys worked hard and didn't earn so much.

Another guy i liked was W4...That guy dey burst my head

I grew up in Festac, so a lot of all these guys started from there. I doubt if anyone that grew there in the 90s didn't run into these guys.

Sweet old memories[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I no fit relate to these current songs.

Freestyle left Nigeria and joined the US Navy.[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The person wey pain me pass was Freestyle Essien.

How can such a talent just quit like that?

Maybe it was me, but MI no reach that guy craft...Imagine being at that level at the early 2000s.

I still they mourn that guy musical demise.[/color]

GloriousGbola:
This is why you have to give musicians/artistes with longetivity props

i have read that Madonna is insanely disciplined - to the point she was having fights with her then husband because she was transferring that discipline to their kids. apparently the woman does not go near soda and she did not allow the kids to either

Emaprince:
This is what I noticed myself. His big bro already has money so he was OK playing second fiddle. He no know say dbanl go fall off, and it came unexpectedly real quick.

I really wondered how an established dbanj would fall off easily like that...cos all the connections and "know hows" in promoting songs, he already got that working with donj.

D'prince also rode on his bro coattails, but he took advantage and established his little label which luckily produced mega stars. Now he must be enjoying mad money.

I wonder where switch is now...and what he is doing.

Emaprince:
You know ball, my guy.

See my craze the kind craze/
My craze fit make your craze find hiding place/

Kswitch was spitting fire with nice cadence too. Nigerians really no dey wan hear and understand the talent some artistes poses because over here, na beat and chorus dey sell songs.

If kswitch focused in himself and spend time putting out songs, he wouldn't be under rated at all. He was far better than Dr sid

iamoyindamola:
When he went away from the label he did well

Itsrm:
Nigerians don't have ear for good music. The fact that someone like Harrysong never really blew up and Portable and Seyi Vibez are blowing up tells you all you need to know.

raumdeuter:
Koro is still visiting EFCC and According to that report he had an hearing yesterday

Major Oil field wey Guyana find. Venezuela want drag matter wey dem settle since 130 years ago

E be like Japa to Guyana go make sense now cos the oil field too major and life go begin soft for their small population of under 1m people. And dem be black country on top

Borderlands filled with oil with the dispute dating back to colonial days. Think Bakassi.

Ibime:
Venezuela about to invade Guyana. Brazil rushing troops to defend Guyana

Wahala no dey end

Emaprince:
Kswitch is talented. He was never wack. The guy just needed consistency to drop top level songs. His Lyrics were never mid IMO. And he rhymes very well...multisyllables too. And he already got his own style of flows which wasn't bad.

The problem is he was hiding behind Dbanj shadows. He for really focus more on his craft and work towards becoming "the guy". Also Donjazzy was more invested in Dbanj works cos it was bringing in more money, then you talk wande too (whom to me is in top 5 most talented singers ever out of Nigeria).

Dprince really didn't need to go the hip hop route, cos he doesn't have the intelligence for it. If he switched and focused on high life genre, he would excel. His song "Oga titus" had some high life vibe to it and it was very catchy. Anyway, man's have found his main calling in artiste discovery...and he is doing good.
