Music/Radio / Re: Nigerian Artist Capable Of Winning Grammy? by phenomenal: 5:33am On Sep 14, 2008
Grammy is a big event no doubt and a big achievement for a Nigerian based ariste to win. However it is not an under achievement if a good artiste in Nigeria does not win because clearly it was not designed for artistes outside America. Artistes with successful albums like Craig David even legends like Bob Marley didn't win it. A situation where many artistes from different parts of the world including Africa are grouped under one category of world music, makes it more of a game of luck for that category. compare this with that of MTV for example where there is a particular category for Best African Act.
As far as am concerned an artiste, that wins Artiste of the year in KORA and Best African act in MTV same yr has a greater achievement than a Nigerian based artiste that wins a Grammy for that yr

For those saying D'banj and co cannot win should have a rethink because lyrics may not be a strong factor considered, because I don't think the organisers of grammy are in the best position to access KSA's lyrics who has been nominated twice now and Mariam Makeba who has actually won it. Above lyrics I think the success of the artiste in the region will be stronger factor.
Music/Radio / Re: Kennis Music New Signing! by phenomenal: 4:36am On Aug 22, 2008
Maga don pay. what a lucky guy, I hope the maga(Kennis) truly pay. In terms of beats. It is a good job.

However, The song lacks creativity in any form. The song is a total fraud I mean, the concept is from yahooze; The opening is from sauce kid's samboribobo; The verse is a tune from Sean Paul; He also included a line like D'banj's 'If u r still sitting down u r on a long thing' etc. An excellent producer no doubt. His verse in Plantashun boys' Anthem shows he's got skill. He should try and be more original and do something of his own. these are the kind of songs that make some people erronously feel that music is one way of making quick money.
Music/Radio / Re: Fake And Shallow Hip-hop Artistes In Nigeria by phenomenal: 5:26am On Aug 17, 2008
Yeah this is another facet that exposes the decay in mentality of some Nigerians. It's the same with those that collect 100 naira and even bread to vote for intending political office holders. The Djs that collect gratifification don't realise that they are shooting themselves in the foot because if they force songs on people rather than carefully watching the song and the reaction to it,they are killing the industry where they feed from
It's just the area boy syndrome coming to fore. 'I will collect what I can from you because when u make it u'll forget me'. That's the thinking. If only the media houses are paying royalties on played songs then less mediocre songs will be played
Music/Radio / Re: The Track Entertainer On D'banjs New Album! by phenomenal: 3:56am On Aug 17, 2008
Much as I like the album and D'banj as an asrtiste, I think this is an insult to the listeners, Deliberately saying u don't have to make sense. As if the fans are just some follow follow sheepish zombie. He took it too far. Am not down with that. embarassed

Music/Radio / Re: Timaya Or African China Who Is Better? by phenomenal: 4:55am On Aug 16, 2008
Well 4 me I'll give it to Timaya. though both are quite sucessful. However, I've seen Timaya do collaboes and he has been wonderful. I have not seen China do a collabo. Hence I give it to Timaya
Music/Radio / Re: Kini Big Deal ! Is It The Next Big Thing ? by phenomenal: 4:09am On Aug 16, 2008
Kini big deal yes, that's what I wonder about the song. I think it's rather over hyped. Not a whack song though. Nice production. I still don't understand what the song is talking about. wallahitallai sebi we r on fire. Then a movie like video. I still don't get what they are trying to say. He shouldn't give up though
