Nigerian artistes sing crap,, what irks me most is that all those that sing good music among them are not always successful commercialy.

look at Iyanya, the guy started out as a cool singer, but when money was not forthcoming, he switched to being "mr oreo" ..

Meanwhile, Davido, wizkid, olamide and that talentless bloke called "lil kesh" are making money from singing crap,

Praiz is also good, but the industry is killing him. Go and listen to "if i fall" ,that song is not meant for naija..

Look at foriegn artistes, likes of
Frank ocean, Ed sheeran, Hozier, Fall out boy , Drake, Kendrick lamar and even lil wayne , those guys pass on messages in their songs.

listen to "the blacker the berry" by kendrick lamar, that song reveals the hatred of whites towards blacks,

When i heard "earned it" by The weeknd, i was awed, the arrangement of the lyrics coupled with his voice is superb,

No Nigerian artiste can think like that,

the funniest part is that all those fools will be saying they will win Grammy Awards, lol,

hw can u win grammy with songs like

"emi phyno, baba ibo, kin ma ladi ,kin ma jedi, "

or "shoki"

Americans are not daft nw.

its the fault of Nigerians that are still buying their crap music, look at how rich they are from singing rubbish,

i smh for Nigerians

Twaci:
Nice one Op! That's why most times I stick to Ed Sheeran's, Lana Del Ray's and others like that.

But though I can't really brag of 5 naija songs on my phone , I can say that we do have some nice naija artists like; Dare Art Alade, Paul Play, McDonald, etc.

But either way, I still love my country

iamrealdeji:

You're on point lady Twaci
Vote Twaci for miss nairaland

Airforce1:


I'm not a rapper

I don't like rap music

If you're a rap artist in Nigeria, your parents won't be proud of you

iamrealdeji:
yeah,you're right,no parent wants a rapper child,the guy's moniker just looks like yours

ggrin:
na ur enemy

I understand you guys, but what I don't like about your views is how you expect nigerians to sing like james blunt, john legend, adele etc. Would any of those sing like nigerians?

Music world wide has become shitty, not just in nigeria alone. You need to know the amount of wack rappers america churns out by the day. One won't think thesame Puff daddy that discovered Mase and Notorious B.I.G would go ahead to sign silly rappers like yung joc and french montana. The devil is really in need of souls, so he doesn't mind his establishment signing half-baked talents so long they are willing to sell their souls. Same thing is happening in nigeria today. Artiste now showcase their wealth more than their talent. Gone are those days when a 9ice would fill you up with brilliant lyrics cos he knows the competition from 2face is fierce. These days, artiste just ride on the creativity of producers who cook excellent beats and it's so worldwide.

You just confirmed you know nothing about entertainment in America,what brought School boy Q into limelight? You think it's because of some producer? Hell no!! Yung Joc is not reigning anymore because he's a one hit wonder,he came out with entertaining songs and his career died along with his shitty lyrics,same for Soulja boy,more tight rappers are showing up everyday,you think Kendrick is reigning because he has shitty lyrics? Hell no,do your research again. Why is Nas Illmatic album still praised and listened to by critics till date? Its because of the rich lyrics. Eric B and Rakim's paid in full,KRS One and Boogie down's Criminal minded,Biggie's Ready to Die,Jigga's Reasonable Doubt, Dre's Chronic are still praised till date?? Because their lyrics are still very much appreciated, you can't even tell me anything about rap,you should rather ask me what you don't understand about it,as lyrically wack French Montana seem to be,no rapper in Nigeria can match his talent and lyrics in Nigeria,yes,ive listened to all his 20 mixtapes and Excuse my french album,he talks about money and flipping bricks a lot,but in a very creative and complex way,and who told you Biggie never talked about money and flipping bricks,bit.ches? I have listened to all of Biggie's albums and songs and all the songs he was featured in,what was Biggie talking about in 10 crack Commandment,Niggas Bleed,Hypnotize,Machine gun funk and many more? But he did it in a very creative way,talking about all those stuff is allowed in rap but in a very creative way, Freck Billionaire,Ar-ab,Beanie Sigel are some of the the best lyricists Philly ever produced and yet their lyrics are based on money,dr.ugs,bit.ches,but in a very creative way,poetic way,with rich puns,punchlines,metaphors,wordplays that would make you rewind it again,of course,don't listen to what people are saying about music in America pls,the competition is damn tight there,I know how it goes,i just listened to Yo Gotti's CM mixtape series from part 1 to 7 and the lyrics are super tight,i know what's going on there pls,if you spit shitty lyrics in America,you'll be labeled one hit wonder cos you won't last,critics are there and fans are there to criticize 

juicee1:
you got me wrong. You mentioned rappers of old who defined the game and paved the way for this shitty MCs. How many of the rappers to can be compared to the veterans you mentioned? Biggie talked about money in a matured way, does french do thesame? Can any of todays sell outs compare to tupac, snoop dog, and the vets you mentioned? No. Rapper has been watered down. As for french being better than all nigerian rappers....lol. Ever heard of mode 9? French aint even as good as ice prince. American rap is trashy this days, so stop acting like I included the past MCs. How many of them sell up to 500,000 copies these days? Few, unlike when real rappers sold 10millions. How many of them have that vocal prowess like dmx, nelly, ja rule, snow man etc? None, they all have thin and shitty baby voices e.g big sean, rae sraemmurd.

Why do you think Nas said rap is dead? He saw the fact that this present generation can't match with theirs. They just got the chance cos satan now allows any shithole in so long he caan sell his soul.

In nigeria these days, we don't listen to america music anymore cos they mostly lack content except for the singers. Gone are those days when radio staation was full of their content. Now, you'll hardly hear an american music. Even those that get played hardly interest people.

Shitty artiste everywhere....worldwide
