and do you know this Ghana you underate happens to have one of the leading musical industry in africa ( Ghana should be in top 3 ) just behind Nigeria and south africa . Shattah wale and sark has also made some strive giant by featuring big international artist .

I will never underrate Ghana, because I know you guys have talent.

But you can’t expect to compete globally by having a myopic view, do you know how many songs are released in a day? Up to 500,000 songs are released everyday around the world, if you want to compete in that to make your song stand out.

You need talent, hard work, creativity, originality and Money!!!

All of them are important!!

vaxx:
and who told you stiffed competition is not existing anywhere ? Oga if you get money , organised make them link you with don jazzy , if you know go blow

Lmao, you are really beginning to sound dumb.

How does only money make you a star, if it’s like that, all the yahoo boys that are running around will be global super star by now.

vaxx:
it is because you read my write up with your one eyes closed . I said it will takes you favor and grace to rised to the level of global icon on your own without passing thru already made hand in the industry for you to be successful in Nigeria music industry as an upcoming artist, you will have to pay for it. And I mean really pay for it .

In which world will you be successful without hard work?

Or do you just expect things to be handed to you? Because of what?

If you don’t work for your success, who will? Are you guys this lazy?

vaxx:
Yes, if he is ready to ride on another man success . Shatta wale is a success in Ghana as far as Ghanaian are concerned. And no Nigeria artist can compete him down here .

Ghanaians have a myopic view of the world, that’s why you guys can’t have a global industry.

vaxx:
simply by having his voice on his first tracks . The olamide side of sells him. And many people agree .

Now to the remaining wordings ( music should be a reflective of culture and lifestyle of a society) the more portable keeps producing such kind of street gems, it shows how the kind of the society he was brought up really looks . Tupac sings hardcore music but everyone of us grow up to love and admire his wealth of experience and wisdom in his track despite it being a hardcore . Tupac lyrics alone can be study at University level.

Fela with his stench smoke has a lot of wisdom to offer in his artistic kind of music. So being a street boy should relegate to street language., Unless your audience are only to attract street urchins.

Olamide jump on zazzu because it was a trending song, or you think olamide just decide to be featured on a random song from an unknown individual.

If it’s featuring that blow artist, then it’s burna that blow noncenbo(Jerusalema), and it’s also burna boy that blow and polish black sheriff

Stop trying to put art in a box.

Music is not anything, you can’t box art into whatever you want. Music is Art, Art is meant to be free, art is not reflective of any culture, that’s why a black man(Lil Nax) can jump on and create one of the biggest country music.

vaxx:
Even if it will happen like that, it will take grace and favour to blow on your
own account. music is business.

Can’t you see you are contradicting yourself?

You are saying its grace and favour that will make you blow, in the same statement, you are saying it’s Record label and money.

If it’s just Record label and money that makes an artist, we will have thousands of Global artist by now.

vaxx:
so wise ,olamide , poco lee blows him , he can't ever deny it and you can rant I care not. Yes he sing nonsense ( eyin obo adugbo wa alone tell it all) how can someone record that in studio. "" The pussy in our area """and it called that a track .


Learn if you are willing

How?

You have not answered the simple question, How did olamide blow portable?

80% of hip hop lyrics is indecent, does that stop their song from becoming popular, or do you think only decent song should be allowed to blow.

Art is many form, its neither good nor bad, decent or indecent, you can express art in whatever way you want.

it’s not rigid , there’s no special way to sing, you express your art in whatever way gives you inspiration. Fela sings and perform in boxers does that makes his song nonsense.

Portable is from the street, he gets his inspiration from trenches, so he uses street slangs to express himself, you saying he sings nonsense because you consider his song indecent makes you an ignorant fellow.

vaxx:
but can you dispute the ridiculous ? No , I guess . Every sensible nigerians knows this current guy zazu( portable) is actually not making sense , but olamide already polished and blow him and he understands entertainment very well which is using it to his own advantage

The fact that you think olamide blow portable and that portable song does not make sense, tells me you really do not know what you’re talking about.

The rest of your statement stems from ignorance.

vaxx:
Music is about business. If you like composed the best music ever as an upcoming artist, if you are not supported by any known record label( na oyo you dey) unless lucky meet favour on your side. But let don jazzy handle your rubbished and refurbished your nonsense if you know go blow . All the big artist for Nigeria wey blow na untop record label dem blow , na only davido no follow the ladder and na because money dey house .

Lol.

This is probably one of the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard in my life.

Half knowledge and ignorance I don’t know which is worse.

Just30:
it is not

Afrobeats is the umbrella therm which has Afrobeat, Afro Swing, Afro pop, highlife, palm wine music, and all other African music under it.


The media refered to To all African music that made it big as African popular music under the general term Afrobeats.

Afro pop is a genre on it own that is comparable to soul music and sometimes people confused it for an African form of jazz and urban music. Don't confuse it with the term popular music that is used for all music that are commercial. It is very different


There's nothing like Banku music as much as he want to describe it as that.... Those who know music and can hear the chords, electric instrument, beats, tempo, flow and lyrics describes his music as pure Afro-pop music

What are you talking about?

Afro Pop is not a specific type of sound, it just refers to popular music from Africa, it’s not a genre on its own.

How can you claim juls on it created Afro pop when the term has already been in existence even before he was born. Did he create it in heaven?

Afro pop was created by the western media to label all popular music coming out of Africa.

Afrobeats is not an umbrella term, it’s a musical genre that came about when you fuse different sounds with Afrobeat (Fela Creation), hence the “s” at the end.

Again the only reason why you think Afrobeats is an umbrella term is because the lazy western media, due to the success of Afrobeats now term any popular African song or artist as Afrobeats, Nasty C a rapper from South Africa is being labeled as an Afrobeats artist, when he clearly does not do Afrobeats music.

Stop falling for generalizations from the media who are to lazy to do research.

This is an article in the 90”s talking about Afro-pop, so how can juls create something that has already been in existence even before he was born?

Just30:
Most of Eazi songs are Afro-pop(genre)

Banku music is a label, a classification of his slow music

Afro pop is an umbrella term, Amapiano is also Afro pop.

It’s a label the western media use to classify a music genre from a particular place, it was the media that created the term Afro pop.

Pop means popular music, just like K-pop, Popular music from Africa (Afro pop)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_popular_music

This is from MR. Eazi himself.

He is a pioneer of Banku music, a fusion of sound he describes as a mixture of Ghanaian highlife and Nigerian chord progressions and patterns.

Just30:
I'm not referring to the term popular music
.
I'm referring to the genre Afro pop which sounds closed to soul music of the west...
The kind of music the Mr. Eazi does mostly

Mr Eazi does Banku not Afro pop

Just30:
which Afro-pop musician do you know

Afro pop means African popular music , it’s a lazy umbrella term that’s use to denote popular music from Africa in the west.

Tanzania Bongo Flava, Amapiano, kwaito, Gengentone are all Afro pop music.

Shma2023:
Of course I know every banger from west Africa is Nigerian. I was bamboozled when the hobit claimed fall's producer was Ghanaian.

You should not tolerate bullshit for the sake of '' oooh, we're brothers. " stand your ground.


And yes, I agree with 100%.

Nigeria and Ghana have a long history.

Culture inspire culture.

No matter what anybody believes, no culture is monolithic, every culture in this world derives element from other cultures.

Just30:
So you read a clause and didn't understand?

What kind of education do you guys receive in Kenya again?

The genre Afro pop was developed by producer JolOsnit and I went ahead to give you people whose songs fall in that category.

Do you understand now?

Juls on it did not develop Afro pop , that’s a ridiculous assertion.

All the nominee for international NAACP award this year are all Nigerians ;.

No country in the world has ever dominated this category before in history.

ProblemChild1:
Davido 'fall' was produced by kiddominat, A Nigerian producer. He was also the one that produced 'under the influence' by Chris brown.

And again, Nigeria musicians are the ones coming to Ghana and not Nigeria producers. Nigeria have mad mad producers. Producers like, krist beats the drummer boy, Master kraft, Cracker, Blaize beats, kiddominat, Rexxi beats, Along came tuzi beats, Sarz beats, legendary beats, Shizzy the magic finger, Young John, and many more. and most of Nigeria producers are producing beats for most of all these African musicians and American musicians.

Nigerian producer’s are the best in the world right now. Notice I didn’t say that one of the best, I mean they are the best!! And that’s on facts!!

Oh oh

predictive model..hahaha..I did machine learning and artificial intelligence 20yrs ago...functional programming...we started with automata..in first year...I nearly question my Intelligence. I respect BI and Analytics.Please avoid the other stuff ...crypto..AI..machine learning..natural language professing...these are pseudo science..

AI/ML has advanced past what was available 20yrs ago.

AI/ML is part of my job so I can’t avoid it,
And I myself have trained a lot of machine learning models.

Mkenya2019:
I see you follow Kenya stories deeply.I encourage you to keep it at it.kenya is Africa star.We will teach you rule of law n order,constitutionality, human rights, unity, progress and finally development despite inspite

Why won’t I follow Kenya news, it’s one of the regional power in Africa and I also want to see how the new president performs.

Mkenya2019:
So someone with zero computer literacy can't buy dollars..this nonsense system...meant to cover for forex weaknesses. parallel forex market is enough to shoe you got problems. Last seen in Kenya in 1993amd there were rumours last year

Your argument is becoming redundant.

Anyone that doesn’t know how to operate a phone, can give their children to do it for them.

That’s not an argument, catch up or be left behind.

We are already building predictive machine learning models for Nigeria banks, we are in a digital era.

Mkenya2019:
Again this happened first time this year since 1993....we heard stories large importers were having issues...the new Ruto regime has fixed that prob

Lmao, MUMU man.

Ruto is not fixing anything, his daughter just established the OFFICE OF THE FIRST DAUGHTER

Kenya is officially a banana republic

Mkenya2019:
In Kenya because we have always had national ID system..you can walk to any bank or gov office..a they ask is your ID. Buying forex is no event post 1993.This year I hears Nigeria stories in Kenya where dollars were short..but Kenya forex flow in and out freely..and it works.Irrational fear is the problem.95 percent of kenya apart from those who in 80s engaged in international transactions don't know shiet about forex...its never short

You are still stuck practicing outdated method.

All I need is my BVN number to access dollar from the comfort of my home.

Lmao, you’ve been projecting.

It’s Kenya that has been having issues with FX, traders have been forced to go to the parallel market.

Mkenya2019:
Why are you waiting for three days. .why are you waiting. In Kenya you only wait to negotiate the rate..like 2 minutes..if you can't take the rate. Kenyans don't know that forex bla bla shortages.They go bank...saying i want 10,000usd to import car from Japan.. bank okay rate is xyz..Happy or I can call bank treasury to get you better deal..call..customer ..bla bla..reduce by 0.001..okay.. you are out..5 minutes

Again Nigeria is not a jungle without process like Kenya.

If you need 10,000 to import car, you fill the NCX form online at the comfort of your house, you then choose any bank branch you’re comfortable with, you don’t even need to have an account with the bank, you then walk to the bank and collect your cash without issue or you can make payment directly to your seller account in whatever country he is from.

Mkenya2019:
there in dilemma..to wait or go for backstreet, sell naira and carry dollars in backpack..money laundering.KQ normal hire third parties to do that..illegal risky..dangerous..or you money gets stuck

There’s a global forex crises and it’s not only limited to Nigeria.

Turkey, Bangladesh and many more country are facing the same issue

Mkenya2019:
Yes form A..I read you wait for three months..this is Kenya 1993 and before. YOU SHOULD NOT APPLY FOR ANT FUCKG FORM AHOLE. YOU GOT NAIRA change it to anything. YOURE APPLYING FOR JOB OR FOREX.You guys are in keny 1980s literally

You must be insane, nobody is waiting any three month to get dollar.

If I apply to get dolllar from a bank branch and I don’t get any within 3 days, I change the branch to the one that has available FX. Why would anyone wait 3 month to get FX?

Mkenya2019:
I don't rely on liars and their liers.I read lots of stuff..airlines are struggling in Nigeria according to December economist

So you think the airline are sourcing their dollars from aboki?

You must really be a fool if you believe that
