Don't let Oasisx deceive you with that screenshot from spot. Dollar is not 1300+ anywhere

Itsrm:
Yes o. Time is sure telling

sageb:
Kelz was in school(University) when she sang "Wa wa alright".
Later on, the music and study became so tasking for her.
Kelz is a good rapper but Shasha P and Eva Alordiah are way better than her in rapping.

Emaprince:
That's why when I see all these Oasis posts shinning teeth....I just dey laugh for my mind.

The guy is either trolling or just ignorant.

TrebleChamp:
True.
Kennis's music did artist dirty, but also gave the artist platform to shine and be successful. Blackface would have been successful under Kennis if he had accepted and joined.

Munachi Abi
P-square featured her in one of their song(shake it down low) in their 2010/2011 album.
That's the last time, I listen to her rap.

BlueRayDick:
I think Azadus did another one where he sang " olomi blow my mind....olomi blow ooo..."

Funny enough I was never a fan of Azadus, It was my elder sisters that liked him. I used to tell them to change the station when they play his songs

KingTom:

Blackface was a star, of course. Ajegunle music was good too, but nothing close to the finesse and class the likes of PSquare, 2Face, Faze, and the main boys brought on.



Duncan Mighty had more hits in his first album than both combined but he was a regional artiste, sadly. All his songs are evergreen and still strike hard.

Crossing over was what defined stars. Faze did it, with airplays on pan-African TV stations. Blackface didn't.



If you'd put it this way, we could say Original Stereoman and Danfo Drivers floored Blackface and Faze too. Floored a lot of artistes for that 2003 - 2005 stretch.

But they were still Ajegunle-styled artistes without that embracing finesse which PSquare, 2Face, and even Faze had - finesse which translated to transnational acceptability. This was what set them apart.

sageb:
Blackface sang "Erema" in 2006 whereas Psquare sang"Do me" in 2007(Game over album).
So its Psquare that took Blackface song beat and rhythm not the otherway round.

BlueRayDick:


See how time changes things and situations.

Now u just need to make a good song, upload it on streaming apps like apple music and spotify, have influencers make use of it in their social media contents , have tiktokers dance to it and u will smile to the bank .

Na DJ go dey carry him data look for free site to download ur music.

BlueRayDick:
That time Lagos no really far. People dey leave FESTAC go record for studios in Surulere.

Remember Tuface's lines in Style when he talked about how they used to enter bus claim staff cos dem no get money.....say na Jimmy Jatt dey give dem instrumental. Omo those egbons really hustle.

DJ's were gods in their own world that time. DJ's used to have levels more than musicians and OAP's sef.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I just remember Marvelous Benji.

Suo, na the new dance wey dey reign. I think he shot that video in Festac. I remember that scene

Truly, Festac/AJ axis and Yaba were the grassroots of music back then.

AJ had people oh.

Junior and Pretty
Mad melon and Mountain black
Daddy Showkey
African China (although he moved to Festac)

Kai. E be like say I go use this morning take surf YouTube

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I knew he would have an album.

Na the only hit wey i know be this[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]This one just dropped one hit and disappeared

DissTroy:
LOL. Blackface was not even Soundcity-worthy, not to mention MTV Base and Channel O which Faze was a regular on post-split.

Blackface's music videos were always those Ajegunle-themed ones, with towels and rough-looking guys of the Galala and Suo set. Not different from Marvelous Benji.
African China hit too but he was still an Ajegunle, Ghetto brand artsite.

Faze was on a higher level. Had almost the class and finesse to his songs and music videos like 2Face. Go watch their music videos from that era to compare and contrast.

Comparing post-split BlackFace to Faze is disrespect.

izzou:


[color=royalblue]Tony was good.

Maybe not like Eddy or Eedris, but he was okay.[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Yeah

I no sure say she last oh. She run go act film[/color]

DissTroy:
Blackface's biggest song post-split was a remix of P-Square's "Do Me' called " Erimma".

Before that, it was some ragga-styled song called "Hard Life" in the category of the Marvelous Benjis. His music was Ajegunle-themed. Ghetto-themed.

Faze had his music on MTV Base, Nigezee, and the likes, and did shows outside the country.. He was bigger and more successful post-split. Only paled when compared to 2Face the colossus. But then 2Face was bigger than everyone.

Amigoss:
Abi ooo,I think those rapping in Yoruba were successful;

Lord of Ajasa
Seriki Omo Owo
Jahbless

The album was a very good one..but it seemed a single producer worked on it and the beats were almost similar.

Show me the way was one of my favorite then. I binged on that album for long.

BlueRayDick:
Aswear !

Eedris really senior them for streets level 💯
Eddy mentioned how his parents who resides abroad sent him $5000 which he was using to run their initial music hustle ; he dey combine school and music .

Eedris don tear eyes all those period ; he don enter desert come back even thought of joining ECOMOG soldier at a point

Eedris just chop Eddy money , chop Tetuila mama money and still ended up causing rift between both when they started making loney together as a group. The snake wey tempt eve dey learn work where Eedris dey.

KingTom:
Yeah, even when they did that their reconciliation album I.e Plantashun Boiz, baba drop one maaaaad high pitch for Ocean of Passion. Chai I don old, now na 'peperlilili peperlili I dey rock'

BlueRayDick:
Eedris na bastardd 😂

That guy just use everybody head still dey lie on top . He just use street for everybody .

Eedris is arguably the first yahoo boy in Nigeria. Talk about how he who was still an artiste trying to blow collected 60k from Tetuila's mum to help blow her son. Yet he dey make Eddy see am as if Tony na just one random handicapped guy he's trying to help in his musical career .

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Apart from that, rappers dey hungry back then.

As much as Mode 9 was eulogised, that guy no blow like him counterparts singing other genres[/color]

KingTom:
Faze wey if you sabi do him solo for "baby don't you know that I, really love you so and I'll... never let you go o" that him opera voice solo, boys dey use am collect babes from us that year, we wey get Davido voice

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Our female rappers have all disappeared

Sasha T
Blaise

Omoh! Music is not for the weak. [/color]

izzou:
