Lol....Why single out Don Jazzy?

The whole music industry in Nigeria is a joke.

Is it the Poor lyrics, Stereotyped videos shot by the overrated TG Omori or their autotuned voice?

If the music ain't from the 80's or 90's ,I ain't down with it.

Imagine someone like me listening to Wizkid or Davido when Prolific artists like New Edition,Boyz II men, Jodeci,The Notorious BIG,2pac Shakur,Nas etc still got immortal hits.

You just entered my mind and downloaded my thoughts!


When I tell people such things, they begin to think I'm in my 50s!

Stupid opinion. Broke useless fool giving unsolicited advice to a millionaire. Lol.

The songs you are calling "nonsense" have made more money on online stores than you and your generation will ever make.

Instead of you to make money, you are here talking trash about people that are making millions every week

It is always the poor people that know how to give advice pass.

Since you are a musical genius, why don't you make your own sensible songs or find talented artistes to manage better than donjazzy? Mumu man.

Rema recently broke the record for most streamed song by an African. His song was on billboard top 10 for weeks; Rema is managed by the same Donjazzy you are talking trash about

Arya starr's song Rush was performed by the United States army and still making raves across the world. The same Arya Starr is managed by Donjazzy

You are just a jobless broke fool.

Sir take it easy on him it's his personal opinion, the OP is talking about longevity of the songs not the money accept

Of recent, Don Jazzy is not managing his signees well.

He has a number of fantastic artists, but most of them sing nonsense!

Look at Boy Spyce for example.

"Acrobatic, aromatic, systematic..."

What the hell is that?!

Just when I thought I had heard enough, dude comes out in a feature to sing something lamer.

"Carry me go where I no know, burst by bololo".

You spent months grooming your signees, only for them to release music that sounds like they recorded it under the influence of inferior alcohol, "shersee".

Look at Bayanna. You give her tatata, really? That's supposed to be a song?

I used to be so much in love with Arya Star.

Her Samaritan song was world class! Everybody around the world vibed to it.

Then, she released Rush. I was like, this is not Arya's style, but maybe, just maybe. I mean, her voice was everything, but you could tell it wasn't her singing.

All of a sudden, Don Jazzy turned my posh Arya Star into a full fledged agbero and got her screaming, "I go make you no dada, music sweet pass Amala Ketu".

I just lost hope after that.

I don't even want to talk about Rema.

This set of signees are the worst so far, not because they are not good artists, but because it seems Don Jazzy has given into the pressure of Nigerian mainstream media where "nonsense" sells.

But he should understand that songs like Amala Ketu can only reign for a short while and the song will be forgotten sooner than it reigned.

Oga judging from your post, you want them to sing in Queens English and sound posh abi? But they ain't doing music for few posh listeners like you they do music for the millions who want to hear street slangs in their songs.

BTW, amala ketu is actually the name of a place in ketu Lagos serving very nice hot amala and for Ayra Starr including this into her musical lyrics shows her loyalty to her roots and promoting Nigerian food. So, op shut the fvck up since you know nothing about Nigerian music business.

Op if u don't know wat to say, shut up. All of dem na top ballers for music industry and u are here saying rubbish. If u no like their songs dats ur business. We are vibing with it.

Don jazzy dey make people stars. Go and check all the people dat were under him in the past and also these present crew, dey are all known

You are just a jobless broke fool.

A good song will keep you relevant for decades. A hit track without substance will only trend for few months then die away. You'll make money yes, but only for a short period.
Compare the longevity and relevance of all the songs released by rema with "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson released 28 years ago.
To license MJ's song in a film fit cost millions of dollars today. Can the same be said for Rema's?
You broke people are quick to bring up money whenever there's a discussion that requires constructive criticism. Are you that insecure?

Blaksheep01:
I'm interested to buy.

i sent you a pm man.

Remi is a no no for me .dude is wack. Sorry

Firstly, I blv Don Jazzy paid you or arranged this criticism to drive traffic to mavin. This isn't a nonsense song mainstream.
2ndly, what do you mean by Amala Ketu?
That's actually a street song and in the street, anything goes. All the tatata, systematic are street songs. What's your problem with that?
Are they writing songs to instill morals? Then you forgot John Drille that writes better among them hasn't gotten the public push needed. You no remember Drille?
So wetin you dey yarn here?
If na Meek Millz, Drake and all those american boys sing I hit her yansh, them go chop grammys and you sef mo go criticize.
See, no one is a local champion here. What you dint know about music is do what can sell for you. If your song no ger moral lesson, no wahala as long as you no promote drugs, prostitution, ritual or any negative thing.
Even your write up is being vetted by me and your score if 3/10. Na F9 you carry.
Lastly, I no sabi Don Jazzy papa or mama but defended him today cos I feel you this Talaka Till You Die (TTYD) instead of Rich Till I Die (RTID) is on cheap colos.

The rich are called fools by the poor but the poor are serving the rich.

Who is the fool?

Op be wise

Everything doesn't have to be measured by the size of one's pocket. Your comment is disgusting 🤦‍♂️

I remember the first day I listened to Rema new released saying "I get money pass your papa" I was like WTF is this song too?

I have always complained within me about exactly the same things You complained about. But I feel Nigerians will simply class me a 'hater' if I voice it out. So I just shut it. Ayra is obviously not singing ' Ayra' any more. Or probably, I was only overrating her; but I don't think so. Boy spyce and the other boy with dread are just going wack and wack by the day. And Rema, I don't even want to go there. But it is not my business though.

It's actually the opposite!

Mavins is a powerhouse and they have internal data analytics that directs how their music should go...

So as someone already pointed out, they're making music to sell and make money - none of that good lyrics yap yap.

All of the artists on their label are doing well!

Go find something meaningful to do with your life and stop looking for secular artistes to sing nice and inspirational songs for you.

Inferiority complex
Burna sings in pidgin and agbero dialect and it's going places

MetalJigsaw:
Bro majority of Nigerian artists are wack.

I miss those days- Eedris, Psquare, 2face, 9ice, J martins, Timaya, MI, should I go on?

Honestly.
I miss those days

you have a point.

Nigerian music standard has gone down a couple of notches, it is currently limping on one leg like the whole nation. No quality on anything except for a very few good to very good songs. Not many music dey run through the soul like before. na blab corky talk dey rain for them. we use to have some kind of humility in our songs but you go know say na whatz up people be this. Even wizkid been talk am then, "na we be bad guys, hmmm, fly guys, that special type of fine guys ......" Na that kana --- olamide and wizkid, that video throw things off, unnecessary violence. Wasn't needed.


make dem dey play, some people including people wey we financially and technically dey back, go soon dey release A.I afro music, we no need their voice for sampling. After that, na quantum music we go dey make. We like to stay ahead of the curve on good things and development.


Lovers and makers of music, sharpen your skills and improve your song value.

You dey find talk abi? On behalf of Don jazzy, we don hear you

iReddington:
Lol, unpopular opinion or you're trying to be noticed, those songs are doing pretty well on charts and streams, they are massive commercial contents. So rest...

You're missing the point.

Buddha3:
Your opinion is nonsensical.

He's not managing his signees well and currently Rema is breaking global records on all fronts?

Some of you just sit at home and feel because you can afford cheap data that gives you access to free downloads, you've automatically attained a knowledgeable stand to dictate to people how to run their business models.

Seeing how you're ultimately versed in the Art of music, you shouldn't hesitate to write and produce world class songs that will put you on global maps and world history. Classic example of how poor people end up having the most opinions on issues.

Na people like you make Kaestyle sing "moving mad".

So what's wrong with cheap data

Nothing's wrong with cheap data. But everything is wrong with abusing the privilege of being able to afford and having cheap data.

Rema has gone international and is the most accomplished artist in terms of streaming right now.

Don Jazzy is doing a great job.

Just one hit song "calm down" and that's it.

Sing shit and make the money. If anyone cares, it's your money, anyway.

The average African worships money.

That's why when you give them a job to do they are more focused on how much they can get out of it.

Those that made the Benin Bronzes and the like did not craft such for money but their work has lasted hundreds of years and is still attracting fans.

Many people had hits the same year that Elvis did but nobody remembers them today while people still travel to America just to go see Elvis's house.

Some people has bigger hits than Bob Marley yet they are completely forgotten while young musicians today who were born long after he died are still drawing inspiration from his work.

Michelangelo created work that has lasted for hundreds of years and sculptors are still struggling to match up to what he left behind.

Mediocrity is an African
