Bro… Skales was not a good or decent rapper. It’s funny you mentioned Jeremiah ft. Skales because I still listened to that song this morning, and Skales was just there—nothing special. In fact, if you erased Skales from that song, it would still be a hit because of Jeremiah’s hard work and talent, not Skales.

By the way, I’m not hating on Skales, but he’s not someone any music head should brag about. At his best, he’s not even an average artist. Las las…I respect his hustle!

Nigerians mostly have shitty taste in music anyway. And it's gotten worse since the 2010's.

- Banky W would have stood no chance of rising to the top today.

- Johnny Drille would barely get airplay today if he'd done "Wait For Me" today instead of in 2015.

- Nonso Amadi barely gets a listen today. Blessing Tangban who is a quality artiste never gets recognised but Yemi Alade who sings "No time for tumbo tumbo" gets all of the streams.

Bez Idakula who is the king of Nigerian alté has to focus on doing music gigs for special shows.

You forced the suave early 2010s version of Praiz to do shit music to survive. SKALES used to spit bars in the late 2000s now he does shit music for streams. "Stay", "Rich and Famous", "Stupid Song" etc by Praiz are timeless and world class.

Munachi Abii held her own against other rappers on Banky W's 2010 megahit "Lagos Party (Remix)". Her next releases got no recognition.

CAPital F.E.M.I would rival Joe and Craig David anyday but he gets no attention.

Tems had to stay away before you lots force her to do shit music. Great artiste. I listen to her whole discography everyday.

Asa tried a comeback but you all ignored her. She had to do "Manyana" to get any kind of recognition.

I feel Bnxn can do better. He writes great lyrics. He prefers the slow tempo. But if he goes full Tems or Bez, you'd all ignore him.

Nigerians mostly have shitty taste in music but when I point it out, they get defensive

To me, he was a decent rapper but make we just agree to disagree.

Talking about Skales, Lamine Yamal and Barca don carry that hin shake bodi song blow 10 years after

The song dey trend on tiktok and is doing amazingly well on streaming platforms.

Like Mike Ejeagha like Skales.

To be honest, I have nothing against the guy, although I may have come off as a hater because of my criticism. I took that hardline stance because of how the previous poster wanted to use him as a standard for quality artists.

Anyway, I'm happy for him, sha. It’s not easy to dedicate almost two decades of your life to a particular career without gaining the recognition or money you desire. I hope this will be the beginning of better things for him!


Dacoureeeeee

semid4lyfe:
Yeah, I'm happy for him too.

I just remembered Kauna Allah was not originally sang by Jeremiah Gyang.

The song was originally sang by Sgt Plus and he featured Jeremiah Gyang on the chorus. I think Jeremiah Gyang was also the producer.

The song blew somewhat and Jeremiah Gyang recorded unauthorized versions of the song featuring Skales and MI taking advantage of Sgt Plus absence in the country due to schooling or something.

This caused Sgt Plus and Jeremiah Gyang to fall out with each other.

Interesting memories.

Someone here recommended Tehran as a series to watch. I want to thank the person cos it's extremely good.

It doesn't have the gripping race against time, thrilling action, suspense & shock value of 24 but it's more realistic, more believable, and I consider it better made than 24. Even better than Day of the Jackal.

Also, I like the Israel (Mossad) vs Iran (Iran Revolutionary Guard) arch of the series. It's refreshingly different. No be every time CIA, MI6, MI5 etc go be protagonist for movie.

I binge-watched Season 1 & 2 yesterday, and I absolutely enjoyed it.

If espionage thrillers are your thing, I absolutely recommend it cos (in Ola of Lagos voice), you will love it.

Meanwhile, I read online that Season 3 is out. Can anyone help with links to download? I don search tire but I no see.

This is exactly how shitty my taste in music is.

How can someone with any knowledge of music claim that CAPital F.E.M.I would rival Joe and Craig David any day? Is it the same Kenny’s Music Capital F.E.M.I again?

Then you claim in the same post that Skales used to spit bars—how? The same Mukulu Mukeke Skales, or is there a second Skales we don’t know about?

Putting Skales and bars in the same sentence is a sacrilege!

Trying to force class on yourself because you enjoy a certain kind of music is capping at its best! Especially if you’re dropping names of artists who aren’t even pioneers in the genre you enjoy—unless, of course, you’re just here to cap as usual.

Abeg, enjoy your music and let others enjoy theirs in peace!

DissTroy:
Not just rap but flow well.

diggz:
What do you mean by "flow well"?

DissTroy:
You know what I mean.

diggz:
I don’t know what you mean. Can you clarify what you mean by "flow well"? Or should I assume that your definition of "flow well" is when a rapper does well in any collaboration with a singing artist?
