They should flog you. Wasted data watching such.

I like his crazy songs though.
Do you know the music?

I know more about music than you do. People like Terry, G, Psquare, 9ICE, Dagrin, Nigga Raw, Wande Coal did more for afrobeat than the likes of davido, Yemi aládé, flavor and what have you on the list. In fact i will rate Azadus ahead some people on that list. Many people on that list enjoyed raved made by others. Like whats afrobeat production without Terry G and K-Solo?

Many of you started listening to music after 2010.

Terry G's "Love You Sexy" one of the music that changed the afrobeat world. The musical video also one of the musical video that changed our video standard. Terry G should be on the top 50. In fact he should be in our top 20.

Ask yourself, how many people know this "love you sexy"

That's how inconsequential the song is.

He ain't got nothing to be robbed of.

There was a time when Terry G was the most sought after artiste and producer in Nigeria. All DJ compilations must have a Terry G song or it will be discarded. Every made and upcoming wanted to feature Terry G. But life changes, Davido dem should enjoy theirs while it lasts.

Old taker, stop making noise. Which of your songs are popular outside Nigeria?
Spot on !!!! am pretty sure that one of the criteria (if not the main criteria) for this list was international audience / acceptability. No doubt some of his songs were bangers, but only within the boundaries of Nigeria ( if not only lagos sef ). If the list was centered on only within the boundaries of Nigeria, then I would agree that at least one of this songs should be in the top 50 songs ( not top 30 sha , cos his songs were mostly noise making and gibberish)

Two things gave you out.

Telling me to shut up and carefully ignoring OJ.

But of course this is a faceless forum on the social media.

Good day.

The most popular Nigeria song in Kenya like 7 years ago was Paul Play Dairo. Almost all their radio stations play his song.

Popular Carlson Tucker, his favourite musician is Sunny Ade..

Places I have been outside Nigeria, I hardly hear Terry G's song even though I used to know the lyrics of his songs back then.

Nigerians do not respect Legends

American entertainers always give props to their legends. The ones that paved way for them.

Biggie smalls and 2 pac are still being honoured till this day.

But here in Nigeria
Once you stop releasing songs
They say you have washed out undecided
Despite the impact you made.

When I saw people on twitter calling D banj washed out. I just SMH

Faze Alone Terry G Dbanj Timaya Kelly handsome Olu maintain P square M.I Ice prince Ruggedman Nigga RAW Style plus

These guys are our 2Pac
Our legends Our pioneers in music
And this is how we treat them??

Nigerians only care for the moment
Once you no longer hot
They disregard you despite the many hits and impact you made.

But Americans will do HALL OF FAME and recognize and immortalise their legends.

Africans have very sick mentality

You uphold old foreign stars like Biggie 2 pac
But disregard and insult your own legends..

Na colonialism truly fit Africa. Tueh
I have to agree with you on this one

There are guidelines to every selection.
No one was robed.
Is just a matter of preference.
No hard feelings.

Guy, calm down. Read and understand before rushing to comment. I never mentioned Fela. I said Femi Kuti has only one song I can feel the vibe and it is " Sorry for Nigeria". Fela's name is already etched in the history of African and Nigerian music greats, so don't bring Fela into this.

7 years ago? Moshorire was trending in early 2000s, if a song that trended here in Nigeria in the early 2000s was trending in Kenya 7 years ago and then they must behind in musical appreciation. My thoughts, though.

Daddy Showkey didn't sing afrobeat it was galala ontop reggae. In those days there wasn't this afrobeat genre, this genre started with people like 2 face, Olu Maintain, D' Banj. In fact 2face was supposed to be singing afro RnB. The biggest prop for me will go to Wande Coal because he started this new style that Wizkid and Davido capitalised on. Na the generation wey phase out Nigerian Hip-Hop be that. Paving way for afrobeat. But Terry G was part of that movement both in singing and music production. Wetin person no know, pass am. ID. Cabasa, Don Jazzy, K-Solo, Terry G, MasterKraft and so on are the reason you have this afrobeat the way it is. No be one day afrobeat start.
