jaymichael: the people we had the name of their ethnic group corrupted to as 'Egun' who are known as the 'Gouns' are people categorized under the FON peoples of Benin Republic. |

Re: Angelique Kidjo Wins Third Grammy Award, Dedicates To African Artistes by rapmike(m): 11:03am On Feb 16, 2016 |
safarigirl: What is this one saying? Do you think its your everyday music she sings? Listen to all her songs and you would see the difference. Not everything hinges on vocal prowess and noise- music composition is also considered by this folks, not to talk of the fact that most Nigerian songs are mainly enjoyed for their beats and swag, not for lyrics and Music composition. Last of all, please remove Simi from that list, she is nowhere close to what the likes of Asa produce. |

safarigirl: 95% of our songs are wester styled. Many of use don't really listen to ASA. Enter village and you will see they know the usual suspects. Not ASA. I believe their awards must be connected to our local awards. How many awards did ASA and bez get recently locally? If we no give them, why dem go give them? |

@rapmike i think simi should be there cause her music got real lyrics, she talks about experiences not just repeating one sentence severally plus she got a unique voice at her age... also i think 2face is good in what he does( love song) esp. african queen, assuming he make more songs like that he wld hv gone far globally |

safarigirl:I know for sure that there are some good Nigerian musicians. And they will take the award sooner or later . Remember femi kuti was nominated some time back.. But If she won it we should all be happy for her and stop tagging her as a white favourite pls. She is a pan African to the fullest and unique. we should respect her work as that |

knowadlearn: Yes, but then her song is not that close to what Bez sings ( I mentioned Bez because to me Asa is the best out of those artistes mentioned). Her songs are not too different from what Adekunle Gold sings. You will agree with me that both songs are not up to Asa's standard. The only thing some folks will say is that their songs get more airplay than Asa but then that's expected. 2face? After African Queen I don't see any spectacular song he sang. |

ItsBolaji: So 'Shakiti Bobo' should make the Grammy's shortlist next year abi? C'mon, let's face the truth, a good number of Nigerian songs are crappy: people listen to them because of the beat and to dance- That's all. Am not saying that every Nigerian artiste sings crap, but the crap is plentiful. |

safarigirl:who said our music is crap? Just because there was no grammy for a Nigerian artist doesnt mean you should condemn a winner. Everything isn't about race, she is an African and you should be proud of that. She is very much respected worldwide. |

MicKaro: Did I say that whites don't sing crap? I said most of Nigerian songs are crap. As for 1989, am sure its either rap or hiphop, which gives allowance for crap. You can't see soul or country music and sing crap and still be at the Grammys. That said, some Grammy awards are crappy. |

rapmike: i think adekunle is diff from ha. in d sense tat adekunle make good music why simi makes good music by narrating a real life experience of herself or someone else (mayb fiction but made real) or acts a drama while still talking about love or anything, which makes her unique from others ad note she is still upcoming yet with great rewiew/comment on ha lyrics ad style i think 2face is d best wen it comes to our A list artists (someone that had the ability to sing African queen wen put in more works shld do greater things and he reps Africa (pigin English,,etc listen to a song tat ft t.pain ,akon ad 2face) another A list artiste banky w wld hav easily won. if he was able to keep his fire burning when he just came back from d U S (dropping songs like ebute metta, capable, strong thing) he gat all a complete musician shld hav clear pronunciation, good lyrical content ad subject.. he got abilities tat wld giv him edge over 2face internationally too. yea no one among all is up to Asa s level notable mention: dare art alade, bez, timi dakolo, cuobams asuquo, wizkid(lol...no vex...dnt kno wat pple got against him but d guy is good he got d biggest song in africa last yr "ojuelegba ft drake" everyone one must not do r&b soul etc to b called good musician there must b som one tat reps afro pop ad i think wizzy is d king right now...we even need som one to rep hip hop(rap) only one problem. change his lyrical content or get back to banky. he got the voice. eg "holla at ur boy" he has d international recognition (he shld b d most ft artist by international artist) thanks to banky w |

Lucky for the WINNER Sorry for the loser Eku iroju for the sold out concert people Promote intelligence and stop boasting on crap How can they even win a grammy when they fight on common headies? Truth be told, we no get good artistes in this part of the global map! |

rapmike:you see you still dont get the point. My point is ‘LeaveTrashForLawma‘ meaning must NIGERIANS FEATURE ON OYINBO DEM AWARD? The award is obviously for their ‘whatever they are singing‘ music so rapmike I hope you dont really rap bcoz this mentality will make you another Mode 9 in Nigeria. |
Re: Angelique Kidjo Wins Third Grammy Award, Dedicates To African Artistes by MicKaro: 3:04pm On Feb 16, 2016 |
rapmike:Can u explain this clearly, back to my point, when u compare modern day American music to the days of Presley, Beatles, Elton John and the best artist of the 80s PRINCE, you discover that it is also crap, Taylor Swift, OneDirection, Meghan Trainor, etc are all manufactured pop artists yet Nigerians dont give them flack for being fake...Kamasi Washington had the best album of last year, yet he was not even nominated...the standards of music nowadays is bad, dont blame the artists blame the listeners.Kidjo is not the best artist in Africa, Lady Smith album was mindblowing yet they didnot win. |

nnokwa042: I don't give a fvck about Yemi Alade and what she calls herself, you can claim her for yourself for all I care. Anyone can claim their parent(s)' country of origin, that's nothing new. Angelique kidjo said it herself that she is Yoruba and half-Nigerian with a Yoruba mother from Iseyin, has aunts and extended family members there, with extensive roots at Abeokuta, Oyo and other parts of Yorubaland. Who the hell are you to dispute her? If you can't live with that here's a noose, you can help yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGB8NsDdTjI 3 Likes
