Truth is... Nigerians like listening to good rubbish. That's why artists like wizkid, kCee, Skiibii, tekno etc doesn't have lyrical content in all their songs.
At least Davido is trying but not even up to 70% when rated.
KCee is the worst.
Artists like Asa, Timi Dakolo, Simi, Adekunle gold, Korede bello, Duncan mighty are really making me proud.

Rappers like M I are legendary lyricists.


Others go to the studio to smoke weed, shout to a good production and start their gibbering, ranting and release it for Nigerians that like listening to their nonsense.


And lastly let me make it clear that Falzthebadguy album EP "moral instructions" is EPIC.
Kudos to him.

Your views are great, but less without Tubaba. Just reason am smiley

On a very good day, no Nigerian artist has good lyrics. I mean, in terms of lyrics, we lack it here. Or should i say, we love listening to nonsense.


Nairalanders, a very good friend of mine is doing her PhD and she needs our help. She needs us to help answer her survey questions which is part of her course requirements. It is an online survey from university of Florida and it won't take more than five minutes of your time.

Nigerian music has come a long way home and abroad, what’s not to love giving the kind of growth the industry has witnessed in recent years.

At this point, it is safe to say Nigerian music is going international and this (going international ‘ish’) now raises the question of whether or not our music is mature enough for the big stage out of Africa.

The reason for the rise of this question stems from the kind of lyrics our music contains. It is safe to say that most Nigerian artists pay less or no attention to the lyrical content of their music; all they want to make is a club banger that would get them some shows and gigs.

This obvious reason is why a singer as talented as Asa is more of a hit outside the country than inside the country.

Make we leave talk for another day!

Guys, Name One Naija Artist Whose Lyrics Has Never Make Sense To You

What do you mean "mature for the big stage out of Africa".?

Why do people keep making this mistake about "mature" and "lyrics"?. Popularity has nothing to do with mature and lyrics.

2 of Busta Rhymes songs were chart bangars yet made completely no sense.

Many of Snoops early raps glorified drugs yet did sensationally well globally. What of DMX? What of 2 Live Crew and their very dirty lyrics? Google "2 Live Crew".

Gangnam style made no meaning to the millions that made it it over 3billion views on YouTube apart from Spotify and other streaming sites. How many know that Gangnam is perhaps the wealthiest commercial area in Seoul, South Korea?

Once a song is great, whether it's mature or downright immature. or has good lyrics or the worst in the world, trust me, it will do well!. Ask Davido and Wizkid who are doing well.

Globally, people like to listen to rubbish! How many here understand this Buju Bantons song, "Boom bye bye in a batty boy head"? Yet people were dancing to it in the UK until someone told them it's meaning which is, "kill homosexuals".

Is it Busta Rhymes that makes sense or DMX that glorifies violence and is misogynist ? Wake up man and smell the coffee

At least 80% of Nigerian artists sing jargon and gabagantis.

Gbam...Imagine useless lyrics such as " banana fall on you" from David..

Eighteen year old African American R&B singers come up with better lyrics than our half baked singers..Apart from a very few, Naija music is thrash..

Konga, Lil Mesh, Timaya, Yonda, D'Prince

Wizkid; this guys started out well but got lazy and lost in fame and started dishing out LAWMA food. I never liked him since day one. Over hyped kid. He'll be thanking God for the good thing around him, next thing na "your waist dey drive me maga".

Yemi Alade; this one also started out well, she had sang good song until she managed to use " johnny" to blow. Babe in fact stopped writing her songs, just enter studio and get inspiration from Timaya and Wizkid and the rest is history.
Gosh! Her music makes me sicks
