Ok e don do.

Oya go on break.

I think music thats appreciated are those that bring out the beauties of your culture. I like Nigga Raw and That Akanchawa woman though I dont understand a word of their music.

People of other cultures would be curious about the song that brings out your individuality. How odd would it sound to see a Chinese rapper.

Nigga raw does not do igbo music.What he does is urban stlye music with igbo lyrics.

People find it difficult to differenciate ethnic music and ethnic musicians.I will not be suprised if someone says Dagrin does yoruba music.

Instead of her to go and improve on her fakeass toadstool bog-based life, she came back this lovely afternoon to start again. It's like you didn't get enough of that tongue-lashing you got yesterday. You finished crying yourself to sleep, then woke up to begin with me, trying to show some false bravado.

Come on now, the only rotten tilapia in my freezer, no more fake Americana oyibo to spew?? Pathetic. Even the whites you're trying to copy stopped talking like that two centuries ago. Madam FAKE. 100% FAKE. You will die a FAKE. OBO.

Re: Why Do White People Only Know Yoruba Music? by maedan(f): 5:28pm On Sep 04, 2009
Oma se ooo, now I know you have a mental problem to go with all your other shortcomings. You woke up from your cry-cry sleep, saw the thread had moved on and yet started by facing me. You are obviously frustrated and lonely, this is the only way you can get a life.

Oya now, madam FAKE 'UN, teach me more of that your old school Americana English that Clark Gable taught you. Useless daughter of a Monkeybitch, your mother died of Monkey-transmitted AIDS  while giving birth to you, that is what is adling the few brain cells you have left. Why don't you just end your fake bitchtoad life?


Oya o, I'm waiting, fake 'un, more of the smooth western lingo. Wanna be fake ass wigga.
Re: Why Do White People Only Know Yoruba Music? by Nobody: 5:33pm On Sep 04, 2009

Your life must suck badly for you to get so schizophrenic over wigger.

Would you like me to hook you up though thats a bad investment.

Re: Why Do White People Only Know Yoruba Music? by maedan(f): 5:37pm On Sep 04, 2009
The only rotten tilapia in my freezer, but you're the one who came in here and started asking for trouble again naw. So you're the definition of pathetic. You're not even worth the time. You must have seen me in your dreams so you ran here without even brushing your teeth to start talking your fake 'un bullshit again.

You don tire for the fake 'un oyibo?? I pity your dead monkeybitch mother and toadbrain father. Yawn.

Re: Why Do White People Only Know Yoruba Music? by londoner: 11:02pm On Sep 04, 2009
@Aloy emeka, I was not trying to say they make cultural music, most artists of their age do not make "cultural music" even if they sing the whole sone in their language, so that is simply irrelevant, neither did I compare them to king Suny Ade, so I dont know where you got that from.

@ Theif of hearts you are incorrect, P square is by far one of the groups with the most popularity out of the artists to come out of Nigeria of late, especially on the continent. I think rather, you are actually ignorant of just how popular they are.

P square  in Sierra Leone, look at the full stadium at 23 seconds in, you think 9ice could go there and do that? or even dbanj, give me a break.lol

I wait the same video evidence of Dbanj or 9ices "popularity" of greater extent as you claim.
Please show me the stadiums they are filling, not simply the o2 arena, which seats a maximum of 2500 people.

Whatever you wanna believe . P square may be popular but they don't make music imo. All the dancing around like Usher annoys me. Again, I hate Usher too.

P-Square raises bar, gets N50m deal on new album
By Lolade Sowoolu
Friday, September 4, 2009

If information reaching us is anything to go by, then the Nigerian music industry might have to brace itself for this. Nigeria’s mega pop twins, P-Square, have allegedly concluded plans for the marketing, duplication and distribution of their new album by a Nigerian marketer (names withheld) in exchange of a sum of N50m.





http://odili.net/news/source/2009/sep/4/314.html

According to our sources, the twins are alleged to have received a cheque for the sum of N40m already out of the entire N50m sum agreed. It is a common practice for artistes to sign marketing deals and relinquish distribution and duplication rights to marketers, especially Alaba based ones.

Their last album, “Game Over”, was sold to Tjoe Enterprise, a major Alaba marketer, for nationwide distribution for an alleged sum of N10m. It is of no doubt that the value of the boys has since appreciated between late 2007 when they released “Game Over” having headlined gigs and major concerts within and outside the country, increasing fan bases all across Africa and gradually becoming Africa’s Michael Jackson since their performances now cause girls to faint in admiration of their skill and looks.

Only last week, the twins released a brand new South African shot video exclusively to MTV. The video, according to tradition, was directed by manager cum elder brother, Jude Okoye. It’s titled “Danger”. The Okoye music trio have managed to successfully keep their music business within family, running a label >Square Records= exclusively for the P-Square brand.

The twins openly brag about their conquering all of Africa except the four Northern African countries: Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.

By the time they play in these countries, they say they would be done with Africa, and set for other continental conquests.

From attending a small Catholic school, St. Mulumba College, in Jos, the boys have advanced in life, releasing their first album “Last Nite” in 2003, on Timbuk2 Music Label. Later, the dance duo hit broader limelight with their “Senorita” dance steps in their second album which they titled, “Get Squared”, in 2005, after which the boys have remained permanent delight.

Paul, the reserved of the two, seems to have overtaken Peter in terms of looks since he started spotting the dreads. Peter, on the other hand, has grown from the young dude of yesterday to a recklessly tattooed young father, whose son was delivered by Lola Omotayo.

The twins’ success is coming in the wake of the recent hunger strike and “No music day” embarked on by aggrieved members of the different music bodies in the country. The actions were in protest of the increasing level of piracy of musical works in Nigeria and its (piracy) negative impact on returns on music investments. Of course, the duo were visibly absent at the rally, just like many of their fellow A-list colleagues.

In an interview granted to a national daily, P-Square explained how they get around the piracy issues and maximise profit. They reportedly said, “What we do is that we strike a deal in Nigeria, go to Ghana and strike a deal, then to Gabon, Liberia, Tanzania and Uganda. In Nigeria, we have Tjoe. What we did for the album in Nigeria was that we calculated how much 10 million copies was worth and the marketer paid us straight away. That’s how we do our business.

“That’s why you can never hear any story that P-Square is having problem with any marketer. The album sold a million copies in four days. That’s the audio. But the surprising part of it is that the day we released the videos, the guy printed just 1.5 million copies and sold all the same day,” they said.

Although little is known about the details of this new album, the duo are said to have featured 2Face on one of the tracks contained in the album as they eye an October, 2009 release. Their last album, released in 2007, is reported to have sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

I agree with you here
Re: Why Do White People Only Know Yoruba Music? by chiogo(f): 1:44am On Sep 05, 2009
^^ So what's your point? you're disagreeing about how far their popularity goes now you're posting links, proving yourself wrong.

I agree with Londoner. After 2face, P-square are next as regards to international recognition.
Re: Why Do White People Only Know Yoruba Music? by dayokanu(m): 2:19am On Sep 05, 2009
PSquare music cant last. They fill stadiums right now but those Hip hop wanabee songs fade fast and are not as appreciated as original songs

Bob Marley died a long time ago everyone still remembers his music. What happened to the fame of Hip hop wanabee Idris? Faded with time. What of the ragga wanabees like Ras Kimono and Daniel WIlson of the early nineties? They faded. But FELA and his originality lives forever.

40 years from now people would not remember P Square but they would remember Osita Osadebe
Re: Why Do White People Only Know Yoruba Music? by ThiefOfHearts(f): 2:25am On Sep 05, 2009
P Square arent more popular than Dbanj. Sorry
