My perspective about our music not very popular internationally is as good as what eveyone here have said, however until we become genuine in our concepts we wont see the light of "international" day, cos if the moon strives to be like the sun, it wont have any recognition. No matter how we try to be American you only become twisted if you try too hard, now no doubt they(Americans) set the pace as models in this music thing, we still need originality. See Fela he got somewhere yet his music wasnt hip hop, rap or rock.
And i dont if this is true, i think the artists 'emselves dont want to go international, i say this cos they are so "reward" sensitive that if an opportunity present itself without great reward they grab it by the "elbow" instead of the horn.
For example, for two cosecutive years now,attempts have been made to bring certain artists to New York for the "Nigerian Independence Parade" but by 'emselves they screw it up.
