Music/Radio / Re: What Do You Think About The New Song 'flex Remix' From Riz Featuring Sauce Kid? by get2bboy(m): 11:41am On Jul 16, 2008
After working for the last year as a songwriter for Akon and Konvict Muzik, Riz has decided to venture out on his own with the blessing of Akon of course.
Riz is a very unique singer/songwriter, come to establish a freshness and singularity in the music industry. With his Afro/European brand of surgically precise lyrics, Riz is soon to be hailed as an unexpected but welcomed break to the music industry norm. His vocal style is reminiscent of a young Mark Morrison seamlessly blended with an Akon/NeYo hybrid.

Music/Radio / Eedrid Abdulkareem: I’m Proud; So What? I’m An Artiste by get2bboy(m): 12:56pm On May 09, 2008
[b]I’m Proud; So What? I’m An Artiste — Eedris•Says He’s Working On A Project With 50 Cent

Eedris Abdul-kareemThe history of hip-hop in Nigeria is incomplete without the contributions of Eedris Abdul-kareem. “I’m an elder statesman in the hip-hop music,” Eedris spoke with Weekend Ride recently on his sojourn to Ghana after his initial problem with a multinational three years ago on what was referred to then as a show of shame between him and the American Rap artiste, 50 Cent.


“I had problem with President Olusegun Obasanjo on my record, Nigeria jaga jaga but today, jaga jaga man don carry jaga jaga go. The king is back now because I have so many things to talk about. This prompted the release of my new 17-tracker album. What you are not, you can’t take. I gave birth to hip- hop music – whether anybody likes it or not. I went to fight for them and I’m back to take my position,” he declared


Going down memory lane on the actual cause of his problem with 50 Cent, he said, “His boys came to me inside the plane to ask me to vacate the seat I was occupying because the seat was meant for 50 Cent. I refused to vacate the seat. That was how the problem started. I was humiliated. Other artistes in the plane were watching them beating me. “And I said, ‘Guys, you are here looking at me, it could happen to anybody in the music industry in future.’


“Today, artistes are now enjoying the fruit of my struggle for the industry. The music industry needs to be regulated.” He continued: “Many people believe that I’m a strong-headed person, and I agree. I have pride, because I’m an artiste. Every artiste must have pride. The struggle is worth it. They are respecting us abroad now.” Eedris confirmed that he he suffered throughout the period he was abandoned by the corporate bodies , not having big concerts to attend; but he said it was worth it.


“I only suffered for two years. I’m from the North. They should never disrespect Nigerian artistes. I’m an icon of peace. Today, I don reconcile with 50 Cent and we are back together with a bang. Just watch out for my new project with him. “My new album, The King Is Back, is a revelation on many things that affect our social life and the entity called Nigeria. “You remember that Obasanjo once abused me and said, ‘Eedris, your mother, father and family na jaga jaga. Today, I have been vindicated. I love Yar’Adua and I’m ready to work to make him succeed.


“Once in the lifetime of a people, a sterling and unique opportunity presents itself begging to be tapped and appropriated. If such a people are imbued with deep insight and sense of discernment, they usually grab such an opportunity with both hands and coast home, fulfilled and enabled. “If on the other hand, they fail to realise and appreciate what has come their way and overlook, reject such an opportunity, their subsequent enterprises become polluted by that regrettable loss,” he concluded.

Music/Radio / Re: P-Square: Peter & Paul Okoye by get2bboy(m): 7:55am On Mar 27, 2008
Celebrities / "Do You Agree That P-square & Co Are Spoilt Superstars" by get2bboy(m): 7:45am On Mar 27, 2008
[b]Please Read Below;

Around 8PM on Tuesday March 18, Peter Okoye, one-half of Psquare called me. I wasn’t surprised he was calling, and I had an idea what the subject would be. But I pretended not to know.

‘Ayeni I want you to tell me the truth. What is your opinion of what happened last Saturday?’ 

Because I don’t like mincing words, I told him straightaway: ‘I’m disappointed in you guys. I think you are bad losers’. 

Before I go on, let me give you a background. ‘Last Saturday’ was hip hop world awards. ‘What happened’ was that Psquare did not win ANY award, despite having five major nominations. The pop stars were nominated for song of the year, best R&B/Pop album, Artiste of the year, best music video and album of the year. They lost to Olu Maintain, 2face Idibia, D’Banj, DJ T and Asa respectively.    But since then, the twins and their brother-manager Jude have been crying foul. In an interview with a Lagos-based journalist, Jude made the following comments: ‘That award should have been called Yoruba hip hop awards’. According to him the organisers simply gave awards to people of South-west origin, and I other cases, their friends or associates. Jude alleged that the video for Stylee, which won the Director’s award, was ‘trash’ compared to the video for Do Me, which he directed.    So Peter calls me up and asks for my opinion. My candid Opinion, dear Peter, is that Psquare are bad losers. That Psquare (and their brother Jude) need to enrol in Lagos business school for a course in public speaking. My opinion is that Psqaure are tribalists. And that the boys are just a bunch of spoilt, overrated, over pampered superstars.   

My opinion is that, as we all saw on March 15, Hip hop world awards 2008 was far from perfect. The organisers had their issues (like not starting on time, like nominating OJB for a song Omololu produced, like omitting Ruggedman’s name from the initial list of nominees for Best Rap album. Like not getting us our IVs on time!). But having served on the jury now for three consecutive years, there is one thing I know: the awards only go to artistes the judges deem deserving. In 2006, Ayo Animashaun, the executive producer did not even see the final list of winners before the show. This year, there was amplified voting, the log sheet are still intact. And in my opinion, any of the nominees could have won. For example, for Next rated category, GT the Guitarman could as well have won instead of Wande Coal. I think he deserves it too. But Wande Won and GT is not crying over the roof. Faze, an extremely talented singer came empty-handed and left empty-handed. The young man deserved to have won. Same for TY Bello, Lara George and others who were not so lucky this year. How come it is only Psquare (who in my honest opinion are a bit over estimated) that’s crying foul, playing the ethnic card, and behaving like nursery school kids deprived of ice cream and pop corn? To say the truth, for the video category, if DJ T had not won, I still believe Asa’s Fire on the mountain or TY Bello’s Greenland would have been a better choice, instead of Psquare’s Do me. Okay, so it was shot on 35mm. Tell me, what’s the concept behind the video, how does it interpret the song’s theme, what’s unusually creative about it? Jude okoye (and whoever he employs to do his videos for him) have a way with pictures. He has a way with clean, unblemished images. But that’s not all there is to a good video. There’s more.



But that’s not even the point here. Ladies and gentlemen, the point is: how come hip hop world awards was not Igbo hip hop awards when Psquare won five awards in 2006? How come the Yoruba acts didn’t suddenly start crying foul?   For a couple of desperate wannabes, who, earlier this decade were unsure of where their careers were going, I think Psquare have suddenly started taking themselves too seriously. And it hurts to think they’ll be playing the ethnic card at this stage. A Yoruba man (Howie T) discovered them and gave them their break. They won the B&H competition in 2000, living and schooling in the north, and when they moved over to Lagos, didn’t the Yoruba accept them with open arms?    Now, here’s a word of advice for Psquare: please hire a publicist so he/she can coat your words and help you make sense. Because, really, Like Kanye West, you guys have the right to complain if you feel cheated. But why leave the issues and throw up non-issues? What would you guys be saying next year if you win, say, five awards again? That you eat your words? Or that the organisers have ‘repented’?   

 

But then, maybe we should not even be taking Jude Okoye’s careless talk so seriously. Peter told me on phone, during our hour-long discussion that their brother was just speaking his personal opinion, and not necessarily speaking for the crew. But again, maybe we should. Afterall, we were together in London for the MOBOS in 2006. Psquare and Tony Tetuila were the nominees from Nigeria. They lost the award to Ghana’s Batman Samini. While Tony maintained his cool, Psquare went hay-wire, telling all that cared to listen, that Sheilla Okonji (AUMG boss, whose company sponsored the Best African act category) ‘gave’ the award to a Ghanaian. They said they were cheated, and were almost not on speaking terms with Sheilla for the rest of the trip. I spoke with Okonji the night after the MOBOs and she was willing to show me the log. The truth? Batman simply had more votes!   It’s bad enough to be bad losers. It’s bad enough to be so arrogant and so ‘high-up-there’. It’s bad enough to forget so easily that only a few years ago, you were some bunch of hopeless, helpless want to bes, scorned by critics for lack of originality and illegal sampling. What Psquare and their manager should not do is throw their arrogance and amnesia in our faces. Show me an artiste that talks from both sides of the mouth, and I’ll show you an artiste who’s heading for disaster. Ask Eedris Abdulkareem.   Anyway, the lesson to be learnt in all of this is that, no award is any artiste’s birthright. I have been particularly mad that Akon did not get even one Grammy this year. Even in life generally, you win some and you lose some. You.Can.Not.Always.Win. Then whatever you do in life, it pays to be humble. Even if you’re not, you can at least pretend to be. (There’s a joke presently circulating about Psquare. Mind you, it is not fabricated. It happened at an airport. Some little kids walk up to them to say they love their music. Guess what their response was; ‘we know. People tell us all the time’) I’ve seen DJ Jimmy Jatt, 2face Idibia, Keke Ogungbe and D’Banj display an excess dose of humility. If Psquare can’t learn from these four gentlemen, maybe they should place a call to DJ Humility.   Having said that, I now have a few words for the organisers. I think the screening process should and must be made more transparent; the identity of the judges made public. I think the organisers should treat the talents they’re honouring with more respect. I think potential award subjects (like Sasha and DJ T) should not be involved in the awards. I think the accreditation process should be made less burdensome, and IVs should go out earlier. And I think the quality of production and content could be far far better. I don’t know about you, but me I haven’t seen any edition like the first one, in 2006.    Okay, and then one more thing they MUST as a matter of fact do next year: Give Psquare an award. I’m tired of seeing spoilt superstars sulking and crying like little babies.


They came in for the show with their entire crew…

They hopped on the Yellow carpet, fielding questions from reporters, and carefully rehearsing, for the umpteenth time, the mode their acceptance speech (es) would take.

But alas, the duo of Peter and Paul did not go home with any of the 22 carat gong on offer at the 2008 Hip Hop World awards. Yes. They came in empty handed, full of hopes and thinking of how they’ll leave the venue of the awards without losing the exquisite and exorbitant plaque to bandits. but they went home empty-handed, without anyone noticing when they sneaked away.

Pundits had predicted that it’ll be a tough contest between current hitmakers at this year’s edition of Nigeria’s most respeted music awards. But no one anticipated that Psquare will be a major casualty.

Until they started losing in all the categories they were nominated for…

SONG OF THE YEAR went to Olu Maintain, for ‘Yahoozeey’

BEST RnB/POP ALBUM went to 2face Idibia, for his Grass 2 Grace album

BEST MUSIC VIDEO went to DJ T, for STYLEE

ALBUM OF THE YEAR went to Asa, for her eponymous critically-acclaimed debut

ARTISTE OF THE YEAR went to D’BANJ.

It won’t be surprising if the Anambra-born twins and their crew are yet to get over the shock!

Interestingly, it was an over-excited Psquare that went home with over five awards, at the debut edition of the awards in 2006. Last year, they went home with the best video gong, amidst other trophies.

Now, it appears the jury at HipHopWorld awards are trying to tell the popstars something. ‘I think it’s time we begin to encourage only those who are truly talented, those who play original music’, said a source close to the organisers. But a spokesperson for HHWA insists that is not the case. ‘the competition is just fierce this year. Psquare have been very hardworking, and they deserve every award they can win. But you’ll agree with me that this past year has been particularly tight, what with Asa’s debut, 2face Idibia and other cats like Jimmy JAtt and TY Bello standing up to be counted’

Other winners at this year’s HHWA include Wande Coal (Next Rated), who went home with a brand new Hyundai Sonata sedan; 9ice (HipHipWorld Revelation, Best Vocal Performance Male), M.I. (Best rap single), Mode 9 (Lyricist on the roll), Ruggedman (Best rap album), Asa, (best vocal performance, female), Batman Samini (Best African act), Cobhams Asuquo (producer of the year), Timaya (Best reggae/dancehall), DJ Jimmy Jatt/2face/Mode9/Elajoe (Best Collabo).

HHWA 2008 held at Planet One, Maryland, Ikeja on Saturday March 15, 2008. Anchored by the duo of Basketmouth and Dakore Egbuson, the event featured an elaborate yellow carpet segment, which was broadcast live on AIT and STV,

I have a link stop DOUBTING;

2008 is starting off on great note for 2Face Idibia.
2Face is now an international star, defininately the latest one to come out of Africa.
Last week 2Face reportedly hit the studios to record a duet with R&B superstar R.Kelly. Sources told Glitz Beats that both singers first met in October 2007 shorty after 2Face’s robbery attack. It is believed that’s when they laid the foundation for the collaboration.
Akon has also reportedly expressed interest in working with 2Face.
