Legend!
Yeah. So legendary no one knows how many people he infected with HIV, and how many young people he "encouraged" to attend his night club instead of going to school.

Thank God he was born 77 years ago.. .if he had been born in this age, his songs wouldn't have made much sense to most people.
There you are wrong, fela's songs are timeless. All i hear this days are a mumbling of meaningless songs concocted for the half educated and dim-wits, who writtle and gyrate to them. Art and poetry has abandoned and in it's place, a cacophony of sometimes irritating and discordinate sounds

They're timeless because of the impact they had then and it still reflects till now. If he were to be a musician of this age, it won't make any difference. Tell me how many hit songs of now that actually make sense in terms of what the song is suppose to portray. And how many of the sensible ones make waves.

Alot of what he sang about are still relevant till present day. You will agree with me that even then his songs reflected the realities of that period he was a star in his time, recognised internationally, i can bet you that most hit songs of now adays, are forgotten as fast as the next release, music is suppose to be a literary work, once that is out, it becomes something to be relished just for the moment.

At least they were not at his club to learn how to loot Nigeria's wealth or of anyone. The people that never had a night club and encouraged us to study are still the problem of Nigeria today. Stop hating the dead you hypocrite!
