Basic123:

You are probably not a Yoruba man.Olamide has sang so many meaningful song and So many rubbish.Just choose your choice!

I swear, you killed it.

In the past, I used to think the messages in olamide's songs were directed at me.


These days, I can't even find any message.


More like he's competing for wackest rapper.


He disappoints me anytime he picks up a microphone.

franklingud:
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.

Dont forget our darling JD "Johnny Drille"

Jonny drille, Adekunle gold, Falz, Simi those are nice musicians, others just sing trash.

YusufTheGreat:
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

same here bro

Olamide followed by Tekno.

Let me divert a little pls.

This song by T-Classic titled "Nobody fine pass you", is that a love song to a prostitute?
Ayam not understanding that song one bit!

Lilymax:

I'm sorry,I agree with your list, but did you say Korede Bello?
The one who sang "mungo park", abi is there another Korede Bello?

When I said "lyrical content" I mean actually using real words when singing.
That song "mungo Park" has lyrical content and is passing a message to people that are old enough to get married but haven't because of one excuse or the other.
And listen to "do like that".
The worst is fever by wizkid.
Don't know the language he was speaking.

Kobicove:

Aarenasbaba:
Brymo

u sure abt dis

Yemi Alade

grandstar:


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

Busta rhymes and dmx are no longer in the game but back then they had lyrics in their songs not like Nigerian musicians of nowadays that sing a lot gibberish.
Buju banton is not a true reggae artist, he's all about ragga and dancehall. And he's speaking Jamaican English to pass a message to homosexuals.
And for the record "boom bye bye in a batty boy head" is lyrical not gibberish.
E.g "baby Walankolonko", what will you call this

ablemachine:


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

2baba I forgot to mention.
He is legendary too.

But I think he should add more lyrics to his songs that passes a message. Like spiritual healing, that song is a lot message and lyrics...

darkelf:


The only Nigerian artists with good lyrical content:

Simi and Hubby

Johnny drills

MI and rappers under his record label

ASA (had a nice crush on her once)

Timi

Falz

Tiwa (sometimes)

Yes my girl Tiwa.
I think she should add more lyrics and rhymes to her songs.

uthlaw:
Nice and 2face nko

9ice too.
Nowadays 2face has joined these younger artists to sing gibberish if not he is legendary.

engrelvis:
if I v read dis earlier I won't v made any comment.y? because u spoke exactly my mind. Falz is trying lyrically

Falz is not trying lyrically, Falz is on fire nowadays based on his lyrics and the message his songs is passing.

Am sure baba fela will be proud of him right now.

He didn't nail anything bro, he only nailed his own head.



Every country has their own lyric, if you go to America, they have their own, if you go to Ghana, their also have their style of music.

If you said those musicians are singing trash, what about fela

Let's be realistic, we have our own pattern and artist must follow our pattern. Must we follow or imitate foreign artist??


Be proud of your country.

In the business world, you must give your customers what they want.


Make some noise for the only musician who understood and gave us what we wanted.


Make sone noise(like) for 2face idibia, also don't forget Nigga raw, face, Harrison, tiwa,wizkid,simi,burna boy and davido.

Don't ever berate baba fela.
His legendary songs not only has lyrical content but also passes a lot of messages to the audience.
The only artist that is making baba fela proud now is falz.
And that new guy king Perry is going to be great.

And why do you think baba fela has a shrine in Lagos? Why does Nigerians musicians always celebrate Fela? Even some American musicians have visited Fela shrine.

Kudos to Asa, 2face, Sound Sultan, Adekunle Gold, Simi, Faze, Davido, Victor AD, Oritse Femi, Banky W, P-Square, Johnny Drille, Wande Coal and YOU KNOW THE REST

You are the man bro, let them tell us the criteria for good music, they all have Nigerian music on their phones, they are all claiming they are trash but they still keep them!
We have to learn to appreciate what we have.. Am not saying they are the best but am saying they are trying to entertain us. Every country have their style of music that there followers enjoy... We just need some reorientation about what we term as good or bad music.. what you don't like,someone else love so much. Let's be guided!!
