Freeze is absolutely on point ...Davido may have a bad vocal cord but he has mastered the art of singing that he's techniques cant go unrecognized.

Meanwhile Freeze mentioning Terry G means that he's very conscious of these artists.. How Terry G plays with all these akpako beats is so mad ..Terry G can also play comfortably with any pitch you hit for him.

Nice one freeze

I'm a die hard wizzy fan but I must admit Davido has really gotten better over the years, I mean this guy has a way of tuning his frog voice to something u want to hear over and over again. I started liking Davido when he did "summer body" olamide tried his possible best to destroy that song but Davido covered all olamide"s non sense with his marvelous pitch.

the bolded is very very true , you just want to hear that frog voice again , that voice is irresistible . i cant stop listening to "flora my flawa" and "aje". and each time he collaborates with that same voice , it always brings out the best. i think we should just admit that davido is just a blessed guy from God . we cant stop hearing and loving his frog voice

This is subjective. A musician doesn't need to aspire you to become a good musician. A good musician is one that makes good music. Period.

Nothing is subjective here. Have you ever wondered why it's so hard for any Nigerian musician to win a Grammy?

"If a good musician is one that makes a good music", then what's termed a 'A good song/music?' you people think it's about cooking some beat on repetitive gibberish about Sex, ass, money, drugs, and girls? Abeg, go to music schools, master your voices, learn how to write good music before you can start singing, 'till then, we don't know music. We do crap!

1. Davido

2.kizz Daniel

3. Reekado banks.


Others are whack.

But I play American music mostly, lots of messages passed. Nigerian music in general is just whacks. Nothing more.

uchennamani:
You don't really know Terry G. He was Faze's backup singer for years before he went solo. If you want to know how good he is, listen to Faze's early music after the breakup of Plantashun Boiz. He is the back up singer in most of Faze Alone album. Our music industry made Terry G sings the akpako pattern he adopted later. Well, you know nothing sha. You must have been in primary school during the time of Faze and Tuface

I’m not saying TerryG is not good. But that was then. Wiz kid is far far better than TerryG. Go and listen to His song now you would really be disappointed. No single decent song out of TerryG recent single. Give me two of TerryG best song and I’m sure it sure noise. I like TerryG too but no talent for all him song na just razzmatazz nothing more. The only thing maybe because him sabi make beat and na only one style him sabi. Nobi person be 2Face wey sabi? Why has Nigeria not turn him to something else. TerryG shouldn’t be mention when we are talking about Wizkid,Davido or Tecno. That old Mumu might have personal beef with Whizzy. That a big fat hate to mention TerryG
Among those boys.

Since you have mentioned this, now let me address the issue. The 2008 song 'Blame it on Alcohol' by Jamie Foxx feat. T-pain won an for a Duo or Group With Vocals at the 52nd Grammy Awards. Check the lyrics on any music site and tell me whether it made any sense. The same track has sold over a million copies worldwide. What makes good music is the ability of the singer to follow the tenets of music and deliver same with strong vocals. Check 'The Lazy Song' by Bruno Max. It won lots of awards, and what was the song all about? About a guy saying that he doesn't want to work but would laze around instead. Again, what made sense to you may not make sense to another person. What matters is whether the vocals are good, whether the lyrics are extraordinary and not whether it made sense or not.

First off, those that can't sing shouldn't assess singers. They know nothing about it.

oboy the day I heard "send your azza" I just gave up!! Davido is simply the king right now. That guy is good mhen.

How many has he been playing in recently. lol why una over hype the been boy for iju shaga

Making a choice between Davido and Whizkid is as foolhardy as having to choose between a leaking kettle and a broken pot.
One is as bad as the other.

Nigerian Music is sh*t.
Zero lyrics,
No message passed,
Just Beats

why do people say this?. Nigeria music is shit?.. do you know the different genre of music. you listen to pop genre and say naija music is shit?.. man the pop genre is what is in voke just like the trap music abroad. abeg let us stop making statement like this.. there are gospel music, people are doing rnb, how many priaz or nonso or odunsi songs do you have or even waje's.. oga this guys are doing pop and selling music.

i think people criticism of davidos voice initially and that he wont last long on the music scene actually challenges him and made him put more effort , also the business aspect of dmw is good , they have fantastic talented hands and musicians , song writers ,and composers . lastly davido recognizes his weak point and recognizes the strong points in others that compliments his own weak points , brings them in , pay them good money and they deliver the goods . all of his hit songs were never composed by him , dj ecool composed "ada". and that song is still cool
wizkid fans keep hailing him despite the fact that they can see he is not performing up to standard

If I should go to that song by Jamie Foxx, I'll find sense in those lyrics. I can't compare any of Bruno Mars songs to a thousand of Nigerian songs. Fact is, he's one of the world's best vocalist. You're twisting the meaning of his lyrics - it was more about feeling lazy for a day. He didn't say one should be lazy. You don't have facts to buttress your points. We are a 100 yrs behind the white man in all sphere of life. I'll keep faulting the Nigerian music industry and movie industry 'tii we start doing what's expected of us.

Thaheer:
This is very true..I, as someone who plays the guitar,and everyone who plays musical instrument knows that it is easier to make an instrument cover on a Davido song than Wizkid's..Because there is change in notes and pitch in davido songs which he manages to hit (It is still a mystery how he does it effortlessly)..And when it comes to lyrics..They both have almost the same quantity of none sense but also as a song-writer,you could sense that Davido still puts more efforts in his none-sense than Wizkid..Because you can clearly see that his songs are written and almost well composed,unlike wizkid whose songs are clearly freestyles produced from marihuana (These can be seen from excessive repetition of words)..
Well,you can't compare someone who has studied a profession to someone who hasn't..

I comot my cap

I agree with you. You know what you are saying.

onatisi:
to be honest davido has improved tremendously within the last couple of months while wizkid has retrogressed within the same period . the funny thing about music showbiz is , when an artiste is retrogressing , many of the fans wont see it or say it , they will just wait till another artiste comes up and they will shift away , this was what they did to dbanj, they kept calling him eja nla till he lost it all musically .
the second aspect is the team working with davido , the caliber of people you surround yourself with will actually determine how far one will go in life , davido spares no money in bringing the best hands to his DMW group and they always give him the best, when you move with the best players and you are serious , no matter how bad you are you will certainly get better .

This is so true.

yommen:
For me, Wizzy is miles ahead of David. Start from 'Holla at your boy' and 'dami duro' for instance.

Davido stil uses dami duro to open his performance and pple go crazy. when last did Wizkid sing holla at ur Boy an an event? think again

kimbraa:
Both sing crap! Nigerians are used to listening to nonsense. I'm not surprised someone would have to compare who does better between both.

Left for me, none. They need to learn what music is from the white man.

Are you telling me the likes of Drake, Future, Travis Scott, The Weeknd etc are Whites?

Well hope you know Nigeria music industry is the best in Africa. Give them some credit here. You really don’t need to listen to Davido and Wizkid if you want good music. After all Lil Pum,6ixe abi wetin be the name of that guy wey dem arrest,kodak black etc are white and Dey do bleep and stupid music. We have good musician in Nigeria listen to Nonso amadi, listen to POE, listen to Corbams, 2 face, Asa, Femi Kuti. I can go on and on. Those boys are just entertainer they are not musician.

Below is the lyrics of Blame it on the Alcohol...please tell me the sense that is in the song.

Hey she say she usually don't
But I know that she front
'Cause shawty know what she want
But she don't wanna seem like she easy
I hear you saying what ya wont do
But you know we probably goin' do
What you been feigning deep inside
Don't lie now
Girl what you drinking?
Goin' let sink in
Here for the weekend
Thinking
We can
See what we can be if we press press forward
Just one more round and you're down I'll pouring
Fill another cup up
Feeling on yo butt what?
You don't even care now
I was unaware how fine you was
Before my buzz set in,
My buzz set in
Blame it on the booze
Got you feeling loose
Blame it on 'tron
Got you…

What is the difference between this lyrics and the lyrics of Wizkid and Davido songs? You just have a belief that anything American is better, that's all. Do Hip Hop musicians not win Grammy awards? Are most of them making sense in their songs? In fact, I had to stop blogging about American Hip Hop last year (after 9 years of blogging in the genre), because the quality of the music just kept getting wack.

It's a shame that you think the white man has the monopoly of music. Fela Kuti did not sing like a white man, yet today, he's being regarded as a legend.. It's important that you know that styles music cut across different cultures.. The earlier you learn that music is about originality and not trying to be a wannabe, the better for you..
In essence I think you're the one who needs to learn, cos you sound daft.. And I'm ashamed that this is coming from a woman because you guys always believe you know better...

And yea, stop listening to Alessia Cara, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Ella Mai... Hopefully it does you some good.. Peace!

The only language you seem to understand is abuse. If you're not pained by the truth, I don't see why you should resort to abuse.

Ed sheeran is a thousand times better than those you call musicians in your country. It's the truth, and it'll hurt. Let me leave it there 'cause I won't bother mentioning Adele here. Obviously you lot don't know what music is, and that's why the likes of Wizkid and Davido keep cooking junks for you.

I concur

HeWrites:

You don't have an argument here. Where is Drake from? I mean, his mother and father? Secondly, where was he breed? Thirdly, where has he lived all his life? If you can be sincere, whether they see themselves as white or Caucasians doesn't matter, America made them who they are.

talking about grammy....

i don't think grammy should be the yardstick for music being good or not coz music sometimes is a reflection of culture.....

you don't expect people to be listening to songs they are not familiar or cultured with....


take for instance how many Chinese, Croatian, Japanese, french, Arabian,greek songs get nominated in the Grammy's....
is it to say they don't make good music at all??....

it's always America and britain coz there is some sort of similarities in their culture...

and I'll take good rhythm over lyrics any day...

rhythm first lyrics follows
