Even after his death he is still revered, that shows you the extent of his impact on many. Fela was an inspiration to all, he was the voice of the voiceless, an activist, a man that believed in justice and fairness. He spoke about the many ills of the society, and against the government, something this generation of musicians will never attempt to do. Rather, what they sing these days are about women, drugs, money and non-existent fame.

Gone are the days when musicians sang against the government, gone are the days when musicians stood up for what was right, gone are the days when musicians addressed the very problems of the society, gone are the days when music had meaning. We can only hope it doesn't get worse. I wish we had people like Fela in this generation, people whose songs are laced with deep meaning that resonates through the soul, people with words that soothe the soul and pacify the spirit. Shout out to lovers of good music, and all lovers of freedom and justice.

Back then music wasnt that remunerative, people sang just for passion and love of it

Lately what we have is mostly hunger-induced musicians who should be sued for lyrical negligence.. their albums embedded with just one hit track and the rest songs void of substance

Tuface, Asa and Jesse Jagz still keeps it real tho
