Thanks . . . she literally composed half the songs that we've come to know as Yoruba Praise songs.

@Chic2Pimp

I have a distant memory of that video, can't remember the song though.

@FL
That dude sounds like a member of the Elemu club in Naija unis

Any of the Bola Are hits??

No disputing Sir Shina Peters was the founder of Afrojuju.

Oh my dayzz. . . that's the same song I was talking about.
It was like a meldey

@asha_80
Do you have a link to Dodo Ati Ricee??
Can't remember the name now, but the lyrics stuck.

Dodo ati ricee ko gbodo koja
Wo a jeun jeun jeun wan gbodo roboto

Tell your Mama tell you Papa, life go better for you

@FL
You just touched one part of my memory I didn't know how to unlock with Amona Tete Mabo

Too much Jay-Z in my brain these days

Does anyone have 'Ko ma bae lo ni o a . . . baby I wanna love you'??

chamotex:

Best song ever!!!

We remixed every song to suit our dirty minds.
Good times

FL Gators:
LOL eldee, do you want me to continue posting yoruba music or. . . .

Hehehe . . . definitely, where's Chief Ebenezer Obey??

chamotex:
Eldee how many chicks did you try to churpz with this tune at AFSS?

Hehehe . . . maynne girls loved Plantashun Boyz.
It felt like I was competing against Tuface.

FL Gators:
There's two songs in this video. .  . plays the instrument for a while, then you hear voices lol

I was watching an interview with the director of Saworo Ide for one of his other movies.
A white interviewer asked him if light-skinned women were preferred in Yoruba culture and he went into some B.S about how it's all about character.
I just kept laughing because this song was playing in the movie

FL Gators:
lol okies, just dont call me ara oko after I list them

Sharrap there . . . Jenifa.

debosky:

One thing I don't get however, is why they're putting him on gardening leave.
This guy is a trained electrician . . . isn't it a waste of talent to tell him to start gardening??

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=400313.msg5700100#msg5700100 date=1268691231]Brilliant post!!!
I know there are still few Arsenal fans with functional nervous system but when you have retards like Debosky and Loyika in your face all the time. . . . .it is easy to conclude ALL GAYNNERS are serial retards. [/quote]Abeg . . . go to your thread

debosky:
I don't mind Hull as a team, I actually like a few of their players - but the manager is a complete nuisance. Good riddance!

But bro, we seriously need to talk. . . .of all the teams to support it's Hull FC?? You'll have better luck supporting the rugby team instead

I think all Phil Brown has done has been to his team's benefit. . . he gets over the top sometimes but Wenger does it a couple of times too.
There's nothing wrong with doing anything to help your team's confidence against Arsenal.
He's the most successful manager in our history.
Remember 2008?? Hull 4 London 0 . . .

I do support the Rugby team too . . . you have to support your local team, come on.
Besides, Hull players have one hell of a fighting spirit, I'd swap their strength in character with that of any team in the league.
JVH, Bullard and Zayatte will walk into many EPL teams.

@Everyone
I've been ashamed to say this for some time now, but Hull City is my local team
Phil Brown is legend round here . . . and I don't get why you guys hate him this much.
We have buses painted in Hull City colours

C'mon, he's not a threat . . . y'all need to let him be.
He only did what he felt right for the team.

See how Javalove became an overnight celeb . . .
Maynne I'm sending messages to Beyonce, Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Eminem.

One of them must market me on his wall

@Everyone

Una nor get work abi??
Anyways, any posts will be appreciated.

Wait for Me - King Sunny Ade & Onyeka Owenu

Erm . . . first, it might be quite interesting to know that these two legends were lovebirds
This Bollywood-ish tune sees two of them coming together in an attempt to helping to transfer the traditional African values of 'no sex before marriage' and also telling the parents about family planning.
Even if you miss the fact that they're sending African values, you can't help but appreciate the fusion of their voices.
KSA belting a track outside of his stereotypical fifteen minutes band recordings and he still does a great job.

Gentleman - Fela Kuti

Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti is probably the most respected artistes from our continent.

Gentleman is one of his most popular songs, showcasing his musical genius on the saxophone with a solo that reminds one of other Jazz greats.
It takes us back to the 70's where Fela's musical genius showed in the way he controlled a band of a fusion of African drums and Western instruments. . . this was Fela showing us why he's internationally respected and still sending a sharp message that inspired of Nigerian pride.
A comic contrast of the African and Western cultures laced with mastery of sounds . . . that's Gentleman.

Africa hot, I like am so, I know what I go wear
But my friend don't know

He put im socks, he put im shoe
He put im pant, he put im singlet
He put im trouser, he put im shirt
He put im tie, he put im coat,
He come cover all with him hat. . .

He go sweat all over, he go faint, right down
He go smell like sh*t, he piss for body you no go know
I no be Gentleman like that

asha 80:
are video clips or you tube clips allowed?

Yeah . . . definitely.

A lot has been said about how the Sound City generation of Nigerian artistes try so hard to attain commercial success that they lose the Nigerian-ness that separates them from the rest of the world.
Well . . . let's just take a moment to dust our vinyl records and rewind our tapes to pay respect to the true legends of Nigerian music.

Every man who knows a thing knows he knows not a damn thing at all. . . so I'll start by saying my knowledge of these greats are limited to what I listened to growing up.
Basically, artistes I learned to love are the ones my folks prefered

This is an open response thread . . . so y'all just post what songs(preferably with links) you found inspiring or just interesting from that era.
At the end of the day, we might have enough songs to make another mixtape . . .

Hehehehe . . . I don't get you guys.
Ruggedman or Javalove . . . infact if battle dey do una, come Rap battle section for freestyle battle

iice:
[color=#9900ff]LOL like one of your earlier posts on this thread. . . i too have encountered the 'You're jealous coz she's beautiful and rich'
Okayyyyyyyy. . . Whatever that means

She's all that. . .hardworking, talented, relentless, beautiful, rich blah blah. Just that air of calculation is
Anyway, lemme not talk before i get more of the 'Your jealous coz she's beautiful and rich' [/color]

Come on . . . let's be truthful here, Beyonce can sing.
She actually knows how to sing, she's no Rihanna or Christina Milan.

How can someone that write so many songs for people be termed manufactured??
She's good at what she does and she has good advisers, that's the best thing any artiste can wish for.

What else do you guys want?? Her videos are next level creative, her themes subject topics are different from what you hear all the time, her voice is strong, her stage presence is second to none, she's the best artist we have out there right now bar none.
Of course she was a studio product in Destiny's Child but she's fought for her creative freedom since then. . . she did a thing with Sean Paul when no one else felt it smart to do a dancehall/R'n'B crossover.

You don't get 43 Grammy nominations for being a studio product, it's easy to spot a studio product after two albums, ask Christina Milan and Angie Martinez.
I don't care if she's beautiful or rich, men lie, women lie, numbers don't.

@v3
Isn't Sol Campbell gay or sumn??
Why does he got that hott chic for a wife while some ruler-straight guys like us have to settle with Muki??

David Beckham was in tears on Sunday night when his dream of being the first England player to appear in four World Cups was wrecked after he suffered a ruptured achilles tendon.
The former England captain limped to the touchline during AC Milan's 1-0 win over Chievo and he was reported to have said 'It's broken, it's broken' as he came off.

In other news, England just received a massive blow in their hopes of winning the World Cup.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1257985/David-Beckham-Achilles-injury-AC-Milan-win-wrecks-World-Cup-dream.html

This is really bad, but could mean Walcott's place in the England squad is now cememnted.

I, on behalf of all Arsenal fans wish DVB23 quick recovery.

@DBR and H.J
You want a Warcraft??

javalove:
@eldee

i agree wiv u 100% +10 . . but i did it purposely. . .

Believe me, I know what you mean.
But I think your boyfriend is more than capable to fight his own battles.

You can't keep doing this just to win Modenine's love, he already has a girlfriend.
Go for Terry tha Rapman, I think he's single.

@Javalove
I think you went about it the wrong way.
You came out overly Brash and offensive, this made you look like just another hater.

In cases like this, you have to use communication skills to get your point across . . . and show him that what he did was poorly thought of and unnecessary.
When you're done with that, you'll end up being the bigger man, right now you just made yourself a topic in his next album.
