U mean the Overrated twice as tall album?

Then You don’t know good music . Of wizkid , Davido and Burna , the only album I listen to more often is twice as tall . And I don’t like burna as a person as I like both wizkid and Davido .

If twice as tall doesn’t win it , i will be surprised

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

The joke is on you because that 'banana fall on you' is certified gold in that same America, it is also certified in canada and South Africa.

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
Ladipoe
Kizz Daniel
Falz the bad guy
...
.



The rest need more training , oh I miss dagrin R.I.P

LIGHTS UP MY KPOLI IN PEACE

You have a point. But don't you think it's hasty and disrespectful to name Burna as the 21st century Anikulapo?

Musically, Burna is there but activism, hell no.

Hmmm! He will get there. He's yet to marry or have kids. And the government of today are deadlier than that of Fela's time.

Why do we value Grammy more than our own indigenous Award ? Grammy is a Local Award to the West . Please stop the spread of inferiority Complex. Bella shmurda ( cash App is my Best song for now ) sometimes it can be Coldplay or Kenny G it depends on the mood . Every Artist is good in is own way wether Grammy or not.

Americans don't use Nigerian or Africa Award as a Yardstick for their Artists because they believe they're the best we Africans can Adopt that mentality and free our mind from Grammy slavery

Re: Why Davido Has Never Been Nominated For A Grammy by Ghallant01(m): 12:56pm On Dec 11, 2020
All music is subjectively good or bad. So in my opinion...

There are certain elements of creativity that mark any good piece of music, even if an individual person doesn't like to listen to it. If a country artist writes the most heartfelt lyrics, the most touching melody, and the most perfect combination of chords underneath, that is a good song even if I don't like it personally, because it took talent and creativity, and maybe a bit of inspiration, to create that piece. It's a chunk of that artist's soul that he or she is sharing with the world, and that's special.

Re: Why Davido Has Never Been Nominated For A Grammy by rahztafari(m): 1:00pm On Dec 11, 2020
Ehen!? So, Diddy owns Grammy now abi?

All these narratives are laughable. Did Don Jazzy or Dbanj get a nomination when they had opportunity with Kanye West and Jay Z?

You guys are just pained that Burna made a joke of Davido. Wat Burna did is wrong but TAT is a good album abeg! Say the truth, e no dey kill.

The album fits the standard of Grammy's pop culture. Davido knows he can't cope in the aspect. Even if Nigeria has its own independent and indigenous award outfit, musicians like qdot, omu obiligbo, the cavemen, and brymo should get all the awards.


And am I seeing some posts saying RKelly has no Grammy? Lol! Ignorance or pure hate, make una just stop to dey lie abeg

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.


Very irritating. Give them Davido's stats on audiomark or boomplay and these folks will start showing you Spotify. Spotify that 99.9% of Nigerians in Nigeria don't have access to.

Some Africans are possessed with the spirit of Slavery.


I wish Nigerians can learn a thing or two from Korean stars - BTS


BTS never begged for a nomination. When Grammy saw their impact and 'crazy' fans, they had no choice to invite them and gave them not just an award, but a sit on Grammy board! That's how it's done because Koreans support their own, they have the numbers. Imagine 1.1 billion views on a single song, a single streaming platform! Who can beat that? Rihanna abi na Nicki Minaj, our gods and idols here?

Imagine BTS group with 1.1 billion YouTube views on a single song (one of highest YouTube views in the Universe) begging Grammy for awards.

Burna Boy can continue to LUST aggressively after foreign awards at the detriment of VALUE and respect for Africans, but not everyone can be f00led. And oh, I love how he's addressed: self-acclaimed African giant, because the Nigerian giants I know do not plagiarize zulu beats on a full album comprising over 13 songs.

Anytime Davido drops a new video, he gets over 1 million YouTube views in less than 12 hours, but you people want him to adopt South African zulu beats because of Grammy. No wonder Spotify refuse to leave its platform open to Nigerians.

At the end of the day, we will continue to beg them even though our numbers give us an edge over them.

And BTS achieved that feat doing their K-Pop sound that Koreans are known for not by switching sounds to please the west and get nominated by grammy.

I see our Nigerian artistes getting such massive streams in the near future when Internet becomes very cheap compared to now because one thing that is aiding all these foreign arts in getting massive streams is cheap and available internet but the same cannot be said for Africa if not fall by davido would have easily gotten close to a billion views if internet was cheap and easily available in Africa to stream our songs .

But don't worry, that will change very soon.

Who cares about grammy. Did Asa win grammy? Did Tuface win grammy. Headies is okay for us abeg. The people voting the music don't even understand African music or even the language.

Grammy still want us to be singing music like coming to America. That is their impression of Africa. That is why they keep giving Angelique Kidjo Award. Because she sings all those "mama afrca" type of songs that remind you of lion king or king of zamunda.

seriously respect to Burna for TAT.. Buh Davido did a great job on ABT. Honestly because of critics review I only downloaded so crazy, fem and holy ground... Buh damn if he brought all of them tracks... trust me he made the right choice.. I think he should try and drops his album in summer though he got the streams and download.

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.

You're getting it all wrong!

Music in consideration are usually from September of the previous year to August of the current year

That he released few months after this year's eligibility period doesn't mean he's not eligible for the subsequent one. Matter of fact, the album will have garnered enough stream time during the 2021 nomination.

The awarding body snubs him only because he's got a shoddy material, not because of the bolded.
