Well said brother.. This reminds me of when Michelle of the defunct Destiny Child featured both Beyonce and Kelly who were both doing better than her after the group splitted up.. She crossed into the gospel genre while the duo maintained their secular lane.

Instead of being bitter or jealous like you said, she leveraged on their popularity and featured them in her gospel song, "Say yes." That has been her most successful song till date.

It turns out Blackface is a very poor businessman at the end of the day.. Because if he is, there is a way your business IQ will make you put your emotions or silly feelings aside and take the best decisions that will take your career to the next level even if it means collaborating with your "enemy."
it's easier said than done.

If truly tuface stole african queen from him then it truly would have crushed him because that song alone made tuface the tuface we know today.

You can't just move on from something like that. It's a pivotal moment in his career.

Almost every artist has just that one song, the rest may still be good but always that one song that intro you to the world.

Imagine someone else stealing urs and then succeeding. It's not a good place to be. And from the look of things I actually believe tuface stole that song truly

The case between Black face and 2 Face is best explained in a movie titled "Coco" . It's an animation.

Everyone thinks it's a simple thing to move on from.

It's a dark place no one should be in and probably 99% of people will never recover from it

You need to understand something about making of hit songs... The making of hit songs goes beyond how good a song is. If that should be the case, a lot of thrashy songs musically making waves globally won't be making waves whereby a lot of great songs hardly make it beyond the studio it was made.

It has more to do with the star power of the person singing the song and whether it is truly the artiste's time. This star phenomenon explains why most artistes won't be able to replicate and stay on the same pedestal of success after a certain period irrespective of the songs they continue to dish out to the world.

They will just discover all of a sudden that the same fan base is no longer as receptive to their songs like before despite once being the rave of the moment. The universe cycle is regulated globally by time. What is the probability that the same song won't have flopped if it was originally introduced to the world by Blackface?

Are the likes of Davido, Burna Boy, Wizzy or Asake the most talented musicians in Nigeria? In fact, if you listen to Davido sing live without the benefit of auto-tune, you will know that it takes more than a good voice to be churning out global hits back to back like a Davido.

Like the poster I initially quoted said, never underestimate the power of destiny and the stars aligning for someone. If Blackface had been destined to become a bigger star than Tuface, even if he had stolen 10 songs from him, the shine at that particular period would never pass him by.. I studied a bit about Astrology and Numerology.. So I know what I am talking about..

The world is much deeper than we have been configured to always think by the powers that be who created the major popular religions for the masses.. Let's leave it at that!

In doing better, I was talking about the music global ratings after the group split and not their business side hustles outside of what the world know them primarily for which is music in the first place.

And that is a fact which is not debatable.

u people will just come online to spew thrash, blackface gave him the right to sing it, not only that blackface fought kennis music n court case declared that his name b included in co author n he must recieve royalty which was done.

Not only that, blackface sang his own version of African Queen which I am sure u don't know about, not only that they all came together again n dropped an album n blackface also released many singles afterwards but the hate in him just won't let him blend with others.

I know for sure u didn't watch his interview with nedu where he was saying everyone stole his song from tekno to burna to olamide to psquare to asake n co.

U better don't live your life in hate else u might end up like him

Thanks for the robust response. I was thinking same but not in the mood of writing much to the dude you quoted.

You have hit the nail on the head, by my conviction.

[quote author=BATified2023 post=136632897]the mistake blackface made was that he doesn't understand destiny, people don't move at the same pace n once your peers outpace u, don't feel jealous n don't feel bad.

Keep doing your thing n u can even move closer to them to show u way n if them no show u way keep grinding one day e go dey for u.

Imagine if blackface had reconciled with 2face n face then even when them dey solo, e for chop at least 3 collaboration each for their body n today he will also b shining n not forgotten as a bitter person.


The world left him behind cos of his bitterness[/quote

It simply because you don't know the story period.

And can blackface sacrifice so much for the group and get betrayed by people he sacrificed for back to back.

First it was wumi abi wetin be that girl name.
Next aye men
Next saving tuface from death
Then tuface betrayal Africa queen
Next poaching his member (rock steady) from blackface.

For blackface it was betrayal back to back: imagine your friend go come face to face with you agree and go behind your back and say he never said anything like that.

Did you know that blackface once Lego a cultist in the east because of plantation boiz.

The cultist come zuzu baba light am.

Tuface is still a tuface period.

Honestly. They would still make it they did that. Oldies would be happy to go. Their love songs had good lyrics unlike what obtains today on waist and nack. Some good wisdom songs too.. I still find myself singing IF LIFE occasionally.

This is not true. You "over-underated" him. All stars don't shine equally. I agree with the fact that he's the least talented out of the three. Naturally, one would expect a better synergy on stage between tuface and blackface cos both are same tribesmen. I hope you know the idoma language/slang influenced tuface and blackface songs a lot , and Faze coming from a different tribal background (though he speaks little idoma) may not be able to key in like the duo.
Also everyone with his own measure of potential. Some are more active behind the scene. Faze is from a wealthy background, a festac guy. I learnt he was the one sheltering and housing the team in the days of their little beginning. I hope you understand what it takes to be saddled with the financial responsibility of others.

You didn't understand my point. Never said he is talentless

He joined the group when everything is set...so contributed little. When the group eventually scatter, he didn't feel it much cos he wasn't a key contributor


For instance, when dbaj left mohits...it pained don jazzy more than any other artiste in the group

Correction. It was co written with Blackfaze written about 70% of it. Blackfaze gave 2face permission to sing it when 2face told him he was going to. Don't you realize they were all equally doing well when they broke up. They all had a successful debut solo albums. Blackfaze's "hard life" did very well and a host of other songs from his album. Even 2baba appeared on one of Blackfaze's music videos to show you they were cool. If I can recall it was even 2baba and Faze that weren't that cool. Agreed, maybe 2baba's "face to face" was more successful because of the push African Queen gave it. But I can guarantee you that despite African Queen winning most of the awards for him, there are other songs on that album that equally went as far as African Queen and even more of a better song than African Queen. Nfana Nbaga and Ole come to mind.

My point is 2baba had always been the star of the group and even Edris stated it many times. It would have been a waste of talent if he didn't go solo. Mention one musical groups that finished their career as a group. Even blood brothers, twins, Psquare went solo. It's a natural order of things.

Remove African Queen from 2baba's catalog, he will still be a legend. He has done better songs than African Queen over the years. Blackfaze did well with his first solo album, but talent alone isn't enough to keep you going for years. African Queen may have helped shaped 2baba's career path, but it takes talents, consistency and hard work to stay at the top for so long. That's why I have changed my mind about Davido. I used to be one of his greatest critics but I realized he's actually good because it is not easy to put out banger upon banger every season. If you think he's singing rubbish, there are many rubbish singers that couldn't sing rubbish consistently for years. Ask Terry G.

My point is, Blackfaze didn't even know 2baba was going to murder that song because if he did, he wouldn't have given him the greenlight to sing it. He was over confident in his self and rightfully so because he wrote most of their songs as he presumes but what he failed to realize is that song writers are not as relevant as those that sing the song and having a good voice to actually sing it. And he failed to realize that maybe 2baba had it in him all along but being the humble person that he is he just let Blackfaze have his way being the leader of the group... Trust me if Blackfaze would have sang African Queen, it wouldn't have had the global impact it did. I have much to say but let me drop the mic here
