True. Same happens everywhere. Even if we say the album is entirely not good enough which I still doubt, we can say the same for many other albums...
from different Nigerian artists... But tbh , you and I know that not every song from the playlist would be a favorite.

Personally, I picked : Monsters You Made ( reasons best known to me... Gives me this nostalgic feeling of action and crime thrillers ... Yeah .. but that's by the way.) as a favorite. I even believe it will be adopted as a hit movie's soundtrack soon enough... It would be fun to see someone like Chris Hemsworth( Don't know if that's the correct spelling. You know him as Thor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) star in movie like Extraction 2. A gun battle scene maybe escape scene involving shootouts and Burna's “ Monsters you made” playing in the background. Mehn... Imagine that... Such a great feeling I swear.

Others from the album I enjoyed are : 23, Time Flies and Bank on It.

So pick yours. You simply can't love everything.

But saying the album is wack. Nah! bro! you lack taste for good music... Or you just simply a fellow artist hating for no reason. ( Even Writers do it too- we get jealous sometimes when our competition surpass what we benchmarked for them)

Just get over it. Live life. Celebrate others and one day your turn will come. Peace.
It is funny how you people call someone with a divergent view a name, "lack taste for good music". Can you list the criteria for good music? Most of the songs in the album are boring. I think he lay more emphasis of passing message across than making the songs exciting. However, he forgot people feel music first before feeling the message or listening to the lyrics. Also for me, 2 much of auto tune. Sounds are similar, little divergence. That being said, it might grow on someone with time. But will take his last album over this.

I neva hear d songs.. Never liked any of his songs as 'classics'..... my own concern na how d original "Prince" of afrobeat go dey feel cheesy

Instead of to reinvent him style, seun still dey sing fela style of afrobeat, & him dey expect to blow cheesy
Afrobeat is different from Afrobeats. Afrobeat is Fela while British named naija hip-pop/pop Afrobeats. Notice the 's'. Burna named his as afro fusion.

Wow! Are you sure?
I beg to disagree.

We heard "Make I tell dem the Koko" and "Mo bo lowo won" before "You are my African queen".

That's what I think.
Lol. D'banj came out in 2004 or so. Tuface has been around since '98 or '97 self. He was featured by Tony Tetuila in Omode Meta and also Ogogoro (Ogogoro be like woman...). Tuface is Eedris and Tetuila contemporaries in a way. In fact there still 10s of musicians who made hit song before D'banj (and P-Square) took over.

Upload your pictures and let's see between u and mba who is more responsible. Nonsense
I never believed a friend when he said the standard of education in naija has fallen. Sir/ma, you just proved him right.

What's false about my statement that their phone numbers are not working? No way to contact any customer service.

This company doesn't look responsible whatsoever. All the lines on their website and their social media accounts don't work. For those using online account, how long does it take to get money in your account after making the withdraw.

I realise this post is old, but I must add... OneNaira6 is correct about the itsekiri people. We do not identify as Yoruba we identify as Itsekiri.
For whomever the guy saying he is Itsekiri and Yoruba, Itsekiri is my actual surname!
Those of us born outside of Africa in Europe and born in Delta state do not say we are Yoruba nor do we accept this.
We also do not speak the same dialect as nobody. There is no dialect to our language.
You don't like to be called Yoruba because of your hatred for the Yorubas. However, you lang is a Yoruba dialect, very very similar to the Ilaje. Both Ilaje and Itsekiri will great ero wuro, ero oghan etc for good morning, after noon etc. Although, we the younger generation (50 downward) has been influenced by main Yoruba language like sayina An kaaro for good morning.

Omawunmi cld be either Ilaje or itsekiri; Jose pronounced "jor-se" with e as in eja can be either Itsekiri or Ilaje; orisabinone while itsekiri will use oritse. In fact I met an Itsekiri man before, he was speaking itsekiri and I replied in Ilaje. We both understood each other because the languages are more of the same with litte or minimal difference. Omasola and omatsola. Enough of my preamble.

Been born in Delta state has no meaning because delta is not an ethnic group. It's just a name given to a state after combining the people from different ethnic group. While Urogbo and Ijaws are distinct, Itsekiri is not. Was ur state not under Bendel before? Does that make you a benin man? Some part of ilaje is in Ogun state, which pple some refers to as Ijebu water side (not like there are no Ijebu in that area); does that make the Ilajes Ijebu?

While Ilaje and Itsekiri are very similar, Owo and Ijebu(apart from their singing intonation) are similar to Ilaje and Itsekiri.

An itsekiri man that understand Itsekiri will understand Ilaje and Yoruba. All these Itsekiri language is not related to anything is politically motivated. The earlier u stopped deceiving yourself the better for you.
