@Op, ur words are filled with hate & Jealousy. Any music that keeps the listener happy is entertaining. Some of us enjoy just feeling the bit, it's a choice. If u noor like am noor mean say others noor appreciate am. Life is in phases, even the likes of r.kelly, Joe ***, they use to be appreciated. Pls, stop hating on the brother. Nigerians are happy people, we appreciate what we have. Even Miss Elliot dey enjoy Shoki. #STOP THE HATE

Get your facts right....D'smart is doing gospel music, google it (if you know how to)

Don't write anyone off, afterall, Oritsefemi was absent for a long time after dropping "Mercies of the Lord".......Now where is he? Flexing.

Be wise....!!!
You lied! Don't think everyone is ignorant of true facts. D'Smart is nowhere! Who has invited him for a show, event or concert? What's the yardstick you use to measure artistes' relevance in the industry? Don't gospel artistes sing in Christian shows, events or gatherings? When did you see him in one?

Who said he is not that relevant again? But the wedding I attended on Saturday, the dj was playing his song.

@rapmoney, tell us about the careers of non-commercial artistes like Mode9 and Jesse Jagz, there is no way to argue this out and blame commercialization.


Commercial artistes like Olamide, Timaya, Ice Price are still getting endorsement deals, not so?

The long and short of all this is that nothing lasts forever, some people will come and go. Artistes like R.Kelly, Ja Rule, DMX and Eve ruled the airwaves once. Now, they've given way for John Legend, Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki. That is music and life.

There is nothing shameful about his fall, its just life. We rise & fall. He had his reign and it fetched him wealth, now its over no big deal. wizkid, davido olamide phyno and the rest will face the same 5yrs from now or lesser maybe even more. my point is a fall as you tag it is unavoidable one will always have to give way for younger generations who later give way for much younger generation. No be one person get limelight

Thank you sir.
Africans and their "bringhimdown" syndrome.
Yes it's prevalent with a lot of us. While I may not be a big fan of the singer, you must give him his respect for coming to this industry and making a name for himself. He came, he saw, he conquered. And he picked his cash.

Life is all about ups and downs. Nobody can stay up forever. Some stay longer that others. What matters is that as a human being you are able to harness your abilities and talents and make something out of it. Make no mistake, not minding his type of lyrics, for being successful alone, he has repaid the universe, he has motivated people, he has invested his coin and reaped the reward. Yes, he made sense to some people.

Oga OP, I don't like people like you. Who are you and what have you done? Who knows you? What value have you added to people's life? Even the music you feel like you know, how have you added to it? You feel smart and important by talking down other people's achievement, yet you have achieved none. Do you think it's easy to get up on a stage and perform? Go on... Do it. Go ahead and pick up your own cash.

I don't like people like you and I have no respect for you or you analysis.

You must be very ignorant here! As at 1999, Lil Wayne was among a group called Hot Boys, comprising of Mannie Fresh, Juvenile and others! Now, you see how ignorant you are!!! Why not google it and see for yourself before you claim music guru?

litetias:

And it was lil wayne y'all were listening to then.


9ice was already into music as far back as 2003
Wizkid was already into music as far back as 2005
Dbanj was already into music as far back as 1999
50cent was already into music as far back as 1998

Who knew about all of them before that time.

Am not disputing lil wayne being in music since 2000 cos its a fact but the OP telling us he's been listening to lil wayne since then? Tell me something else.

Lil wayne got real fame with the lollipop single in 2008 but you're telling me you've been listening to him 8 good years prior to his real fame.

Except OP wants to tell me he lived in the states during that time. If not, spare me the lies. Anyone can go online to get info about lil wayne's career but not a Nigerian living in Nigeria at that time can claim to have been listening to him back then. Just 3years after the great 2pac's death.

For years, this Nigerian artiste thrilled us with bunches and dozens of trash! Many Nigerians actually spent this time dancing to his 'beats' filled with meaningless statements as lyrics!!! wink. It became so annoying when people who know nothing about good music and the generes of music in general started referring to TerryG as a hip-hop artiste!!! What an insult to hip-hop!!! Though, that didn't disturb me much because I know a lot of Nigerians don't even know how to classify music/songs.

When TerryG started this music thing some years back, he was producing and doing RnB. According to him, he wasn't selling records; he decided to 'commercialize' not only his songs but also his life. He introduced all he could into his music...flagrant display of weed smoking, drinking, celestial church bell ringing (Akpako) and other stuffs. After that, he became popular and was riding on the wings of commercial music. For TerryG, the sky was the only limit! cool.

Today, the irrelevance of this artiste in the Nigerian music industry is very clear; in fact, it is as clear as DSTV!!! grin. The young man doesn't have anything else to talk about; his weed, drink, Mr bling bling, bell ringing and other stuffs have not been able to save him. That is what is obtainable when one commercializes his music and loses his talent in the process!!! No matter how commercial you go, always remember to keep your talent intact. I know so many Nigerian artistes that are no longer heard after a short time because they either lost their talent or lacked real talent in the first place wink I believe Wizkid, Davido and some other music folks would still be in the limelight even in years to come because they still retained elements of their talent and sanity musically! As far back as year 2000, I was nodding my head to songs by the likes of Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, etc. Today, it may interest you to know that I am still doing that...and proudly too. Why? It is because they do commercial music but still retained their talent! They do music that suit the American populace, even down to Asia and Africa!!! cheesy

Nigerian artistes should learn how to be creative to stay relevant! It is not all about dishing out beats and crazy senseless lyrics to members of the public!!! Where is D'Smart that dis that song about pikin that wanted to drink small stout? No where to be found because he lacked real talent. He was only there to pick the few Naira notes he could while the fake fame lasted!

Recently, some artistes have reared their heads from no where and have started dishing out meaningless trash to the public. Let's see if the 'Share the gala, share the cake' artistes will still be relevant in the industry in the next two years!!! cool


Bros, are you an artist yourself? Cos I want to feature your article on my blog

That surely shows the age difference between us! You were too young then to listen to those songs but I was already doing that. Even as at 1997/1998, I was listening to Maze and Pdiddy! My guy, we nor be age mates na! Can't u get?
