tape it shut, miss potato.....

There is no one here that will criticize Oliver Twist. That is a world wide hit. If this track was as good as Oliver Twist, no one will criticize. The truth is that over the years, D'Banj gave us a lot of hits. Now we expect him to be excellent in every track. Even Akon flops on some tracks. So let us be patient. The KokoMaster will deliver.

naturalwaves:

Honestly, how can you criticize a song you are yet to listen to properly? Immediately the link was pasted, criticisms started flowing with the one from Ikeangawo or whatever he calls himself being the most stewpid of all. The dude was even analysing the video and complaining about the technique used for smashing the glass. Some people need a cure ASAP.

Talking about Oliver Twist, the track was greatly criticized as well as trash by most people. The success of Oliver Twist was a great shocker to most people. No one is against criticism but the way most people do it, it is so obvious to see that theirs is borne out of undiluted hatred and prejudice. Go and check the other threads that were posted for othe songs and see the amount of comments...very few. When Dbanj won MOBO, these haters were nowhere to be found as that particular thread was avoided like a plague. Why didn't these critics drop a line of congratulations for him? The rest follows. D'banj is the biggest Nigerian Artiste at the moment and this has shown his popularity the more.



As for D'banj living up to par, may I remind you that, he has nothing to prove again. He has attained a great height in his career which is even envious for most Artistes. Nothing lasts forever, no one lasts forever so if he flops, it is a natural thing but I doubt if he is gonna flop anytime soon. I just hope some people won't be hospitalised if he wins a Grammy.

A-town:


please remove the "a" from your "a good music" and "a bad music".... i am sure it is a typo..

santa007:
For ur info, femi kuti(grammy nominee) is more global than dbanj and yet still doing his african thing and getting recorgnition for it, was shocked to know he voiced in grant theft (video game)...dbanj should continue with what has brought him this far and stop trying to "strike a balance".. So stop giving bad advice .. #getsense

abiL:
Funny , but unnecessary

naturalwaves:
One eyed analysis. What happened to the likes of those you mentioned? Why are they not clinching the awards as much as D'banj? Do you know what it means for someone to be acknowledged as the best musician in Africa not once? Or you think he bribes to get awards. Those that give him the awards know what they are doing and they are not as tone deaf as you are. I doubt you know all these cos if you do you won't spew this trash up here. You said he is not a musician but an entertainer. Are you for real or u just joking. What is the function of a musician if not basically to entertain? Your post makes no sense atall. Try and review it.

WS. Smith:

which nonesense award? e don win award reach femi kuti or papa wemba or mariah makeba? abi e don win grammy? nonesense roadside awards. Most of which are for Oliver Twist (much credit to DonJazzy) - watch as your daft kanye west ass licking hero falls down in slow motion. Dbanj is not a musician and got no music in him, I repeat he is good for MC at wedding ceremonies, probably playing his harmonica by the side.

thegoodjoehunt:

Oliver Twist strikes you from the intro. It is amazing. It is banging. D'Banj winning the MOBO was expected. What you guys don't know is that people criticizing D'Banj, knows he can do better. This track will never win him any award or MOBO and you know it.

thegoodjoehunt: What is our own, D'Banj is making his money. Our only benefit is hit music that is nice to our soul. D'Banj gave us lots of that from the past and we are just hungry for more. This can't satisfy that hunger.

thegoodjoehunt: Jay-Z had nothing to prove but he gave us a classic BLUEPRINT III album. Akon got nothing to prove, he got Lady Gaga bringing millions of dollars to his table but he still gives us hits regularly.

thegoodjoehunt: I hope you don't feel D'Banj has reached his pinnacle yet. There is still more hits that can come out from him. We should not be satisfied with songs that are not up to his standard. D'Banj is huge and this track is not up to his level.

nex: Someone just mentioned that D'Banj's music is Afro Hiphop. Please, desist from such misinformation.

As a matter of fact, I must first start by saying that this is not music. Like D'Banj has often said, he's an entertainer. He's simply a Milli Vanilli. He needs a songwriter, a vocalist, a producer, so that all he will do is go on stage and mime the song. If he continues to deceive his new American partners that he can create music, he'll end up on the road he's been headed since the past few months, which is utter failure.

georgio: I ve been saying it and I will keep saying it..."I wish it was M.I that was signed into Good music ". D'banj is a very bad repesentation of what we are made of in Nigeria\Africa.

Ikengawo: Let's stop celebrating mediocricy.
The song was trash, has no point and is not memorable or noteworthy
the video is only shot with a standard 2012 HD camera, that doesn't make it quality, there are youtube videos with the same resolution so don't be wow'd by shininess. Look at the details. The woman 'smashes' the TV but they use a cheap CGI 'glass break' effect because they couldn't afford to smash an actual TV.
the woman 'smashes' the car window and it's the same thing. Mind you it's all completely pointless so you can't say the video was 'quality' there was nothing special about it.

The only reason I would say any of these things is because im worried at the level of 'america wanna-be' the nigerian music and movie industry is taking. We were able to be #1 in africa because for the first time we were showing the world africa. I don't think there has been a video shot in africa this year and the enthuasiasm for the music and movies are dying because instead of being africa we've become the cheap version of America. Sad thing is now we appeal neither to americans or nigerians. I hope this is just a foolish trend. These artists are getting arrogant and thinking anything they put out is gold. If you look at this years biggest hits

Kukere
Ile Ijo
Chop My Money
Pakuromo
Dami Duro
Nwa Baby

they still sounded very african, looked african, and used africans as the stars of the video.
This is a disappointment.

Dbanj is not representing Nigeria or Africa, he is representing himself, its his career, its not a diplomatic role he is taking up.

sojopikin: dnt even knw wat d guy is sayin...mttcccceeww

shadrach77:
so what did you expect him to do? to wear agbada in his video?

abiL: Stop trying to change MY opinion. The music ain't that good. I don't like it.

You might like it, but I don't.


You don't expect everyone to like the same thing that you like.

&& don't expect me to like every music that d'banj makes.


It's like tonto dikeh's song, even though the song is clearly shît, some people still like it.



If the song was good, I won't have any issue saying it is.

The concept of the video is sick. The song is OK. That's it!

tosrich: I can't see any connection between the video content and the lyrics of the song...D'banj is beginning to fall my hands.

lawizle:

You said d song is shit, den you said its OK. Dnt you think its high time you saw a doctor....yur confused.

Don't you think it's high time you read my posts properly before quoting me you ape-looking-imbecîle!
