Acidosis:



This is how you Africans continue to f00l yourselves. How can Grammy define your (own) class, concept and originality?

What's your definition of good enough? If 80% of Nigerians, including folks in Northern Nigeria, vibe to Rekaado Banks' or Davido's song, the song is not good enough because it didn't meet Grammy's "foreign" standard??

Mehn, you Africans are fucking disgraceful!

This is why Latin as a race got its own Grammy (Latin Grammy). You Africans will never get your 'own' Grammy because people like Burna Boy will continue to dish out foreign concepts mixed with South African Zulu-beats to fit in, a concept most Nigerians can't relate with.

I disagree with u 1000%
When did afrobeat became popular to get it's own spot
But trust me with time it will

I don't know why we think the mindless jingles we listen to over here should even be considered for consideration, if there's anything like that. With all the stupid fillers phrases that our musicians say just to gives their songs a bounce. Our pop music isn't really that good

Many of you will just come here to spit trash without thinking before talking.
How can you always consistently drop an album 2 weeks before Grammy nomination and expect to be nominated Obviously you can’t drop your album within that time frame and be bold enough to submit it for Grammy consideration.
Think ......

A good time was released in November , 3 weeks before Grammy nomination.

A better time also was released in November . 2 weeks later we saw nominations for Grammy.

Your music needs to be heard, streamed for a period of time before even considering if a Grammy nomination.

If only Nigerians understand the importance of good music , artists like zlatan , naira Marley , small doctor and co won't even make it as upcoming artists

Internationally good music is appreciated and loved
The kinda music you listen to says much about your personality and reasoning that's why Nigeria is lagging behind in every aspect

I've said it a million times but haters and illiterates won't ever swallow the bitter truth

Davido is very far from the list if musicians who dish out good reasonable music
I love davido's kind heartedness tho no cap
He's got vibes and energy but he needs to upgrade

He lacks good lyrics

Lyrics I'd the first thing to observe when it comes to good music
Thainku


Burns boy got lyrics mehn , I'm not a fan of Burns boy's music tho , but the guy is good , that's the bitter truth

In terms of good music in Nigeria pure talent in Nigeria

2face
Burnaboy
Wizkid
Barry jhay
Tems
Omah lay
Reekado banks
Simi
Adekunle gold
Nonso amadi

LIGHTS UP MY KPOLI IN PEACE

he does not have the quality

FACT.

His time will come because slow and steady wins the race

akphrat:
. Pls ooooo OGa was R.kelly nominated for any? Who sing pass ham among all these nonsense artist wining Grammy. Abeg forget. #WhoGrammyepp

R Kelly has won 3 Grammy's.So what are you saying

Grammy has standards, if you want it then meet the requirements. if you can't meet the requirements then settle for the local awards or invent your own award. Winning a Grammy doesn't mean your music is better than someone who hasn't. It also doesn't mean you will make more money than someone who hasn't.

Him go win Tunde Ednut award

But how do you drop and album 2 weeks before Grammy nomination list and expect to be nominated? He obviously didn’t submit his album for nomination cos of timing . Same thing happened to a good time album.

Aguero can be winning south American best.. Wetin concern Messi with south American best again when he is the world best..
Grammy checks lyrics lolz.

zabuur:


You are absolutely right. A good and decent home won't allow underage kids listen to Nigerian musics (hip hop). Their videos are nothing but porns

Honestly, no hard feelings even if I do, it won't matter.

If not that David has money (enormous wealth) to push his songs himself, name one producer or label that would wanna invest in him.

Thank God, oyinbos have produced machines, technologies that can make ur music sound so out of this world. Good beats, sequencing and all.

Remember when it was claimed that even JLo wasn't the one that voiced some of her songs

@ the bolded, just say that you hate davido and I will understand and quit making ignorant statements..

Shey Sony way sign am to a global record deal, naim him papa get am abi

as far as doing numbers and selling music is concerned, davido is the most successful Nigerian artiste, argue with your keyboard..

you all love the migos and pop smoke, but you are here looking for African artistes with gold lyric, good luck confused wicked people! for your Information, naira Marley and zlatans music has lyrical contents and are not all senseless as you all like to portray it. mental slaves.

kenzysmith:

May Jehovah God bless you for this post..

I don't know what is wrong with Africans that they don't rate theirselves at all.Go to Twitter and see what I am talking about. someone will bring a screenshot of davido' s album on audiomack getting massive streams but you see some low self-esteem people rubbishing it because it is affricans that uses it the most and they will now bring other streaming platforms that are not available to majority of Africans and start using it to judge the success of our music because it is mostly used by the west..

I don't know if it is the 400 years of slavery that has messed up with the black Man's DNA that makes him see himself inferior to the white man.

@ the bolded, ok Latin also has their own category on the billboard and so many other things but you will never see a afrobeat category , you and I know the reason for that.

But I see that changing sometime soon though.

uncleck:
Every emperor has an empire. Every king has a jurisdiction. Every president has a defined territory. Nigeria's president is more influential than Togolese president but less influential than US President.

Davido is a king in Nigerian Music Industry, but Grammy is for those whose musics are imperial.

Do you understand?

WORD.
3 gbosa.

iJhoe:




Appollo's fireboy by all standard. just imagine if the boy had tha kinda combs' executive production and other artistry involved in Burna's- twice as tall. Even with the local production finesse, the boy is murderous with sonance and harmony. he simply defined his sounds. the sounds were top-notched. the here is a boy to look out for. the ease at which he transcends rhythmic pop/r n' b to sonoric blues is legendary.

lol grammy still no go nominate am..... they ve enough rnb artiste what they want is an original afro beats african sounds something only fela and burnaboy and to some extent wizkid especially after ojuelegba and jaye jaiye ...... na only this three have the capabilities to win the grammy......

no mind them with their hypocrisy, you will see someone rubbishing Nigerian artiste that they have no lyrical content but you will see them vibing to roddy rich, young thug, takeshi 69 etc all because they are American artistes . The one that baffles me the most is the way people call davido frog voice but their playlist is filled with future songs who to me is king of frog voice worldwide not to mention Rick Ross.

They are hypocrites, they will critizes Nigerian artiste for doing one thing but they will be licking the asses of foreign artistes for doing almost the same thing that they critise Nigerian artiste for.

I will say it again, Africans don't rate theirselves at all , they mostly wait for the white man to do that for them. It is sad

I recently created a thread relating to this and I would appreciate your thoughts and comments https://www.nairaland.com/6308360/should-grammys-tool-judging-good

africandictator:
what's our business with Grammy if there was a Grammy category for best world song, fall would have been nominated and would have won it. white people do not have to tell us what our music have to be like. we don't need that validation anymore. we dont need to put that message in these songs because it's pointless, talking about oppression and slavery and inequality. music should be solely for the fun of it.

lolz sorry to burst ur bubble ... but the American recording academy don’t accept meaningless gibberish with lyrics like..” banana fall you” you can take such rubbsh to the headies

Goldbringer:
Davido na for headies not grammies.

Haters...shut the Bleep up... Davido is bigger than headies

Him go win Tunde Ednut award

Burna boy album was inspirational and motivational to all the black people in the world .he understand music ,music is all about life because it heals the body and soul..davido fan should know music is not all about money and taking advantage of the less privilege people all because of the standard of living here in Nigeria.

Davido makes popular afrobeat music but don’t mistake popularity for quality. His music is not Grammy standard at all. He even acknowledged this himself in a recent interview with Ebuka where he said he will stand a better chance of winning a Grammy if he changed his style and started singing African Zulu “lion king” type of music lol. But he will not do that just to win awards.

No talent to me

willzy0909:
U mean the Overrated twice as tall album?

The only reason Burna got another nomination was DIDDY & not that rubbish of an album he cooked
Grammy is highly politicised. Reason Femi Kuti never won also.
Diddy affiliation with Burna on this album is the only reason for that Grammy nomination
