I'll give it to lagbaja. His music are more captivating, better beats and rhymes to put you in a dance mood. Even if you no dance you go dey shake head.

Give fela 10 mins to sing a song, he will use the first 5 mins for rythymless beats, 2 mins for lyrics wey no get meaning and the last 3 mins for another round of rhythmeless beats.

Lagbaja was way better in my opinion.

Boss youre yet to fulfil your promise.

Don't ever compare the two abeg.
Wetin Fela sing? Fela was just a weed smoking noise maker. No lyrics, no message, just useless and unnecessary repetition of meaningless words.
Lagbaja any day anytime.

Both of them are in two different categories of Music. While Fela was a political activist, emancipator, Lagabaja on the other hand is purely an entertainer. Each is great in his own category of music.

Lagbaja was also an activist.

As in I have a file that contains all his album and music. It's almost 4 gig. The guy was an activist no doubt but some of his music no just follow. He go just dey talk nonsense. Reminds me of one of his songs. He wanted to bash government as usual. Before he started he started talking about yansh. Said something like "yansh na wonderful material property, woman dey use am shìt ,fvck, piss. Yansh is very wonderful.".

Abeg weytin concern yansh with the matter on ground. He go con use 80% time for beats, use 20% for lyrics.

Not taking away his greatness tho

I disagree big time.

You don't understand music.

Fela was on a totally different level from Lagbaja.

What do you mean by ''rhythmless beats''?

Fela?

You must be drunk.

Better go on Youtube and humbly listen to the music of the greatest African musician of all time.

Maybe you were in nappies 7 years ago when the Fela on Broadway musical was going on in theatres across the world, and attended by every major star on earth, from Jay Z to Beyonce, to Will Smith, to Spike Lee, to Alicia keys and Madonna, in honour of the great man.

Small children talking rubbish.

Everybody has his or her own favorite in any art,skill,or style. But in music, what should matter is the lyrics that pass message. If you want to sing about love, sing about it, if na peace, sing it, if na against bad governance, sing it, but why combining yansh with government with water e.t.c calling labalaba laba that doesn't relate to the meaning of the message you are passing, I think fela does that most. His musical lyrics is always derailed, doesn't really have a point. He will just add beat, melody and instrument to spice it. And that's what most worldly musician does and people tagged it hip hop.

Fela

Ah.. lagbaja anytime any day.

There was one instrumentals he did early in his music career. He used it during one of the African Nations cup. Mehnn that year that music was the bomb! Enjoyed it as a kid then. Plus his numerous other songs.

Fela is for papas. My dad liked fela ehn... Lol.. to me he's just a noise and trouble maker.

Compare Lagbaja to Femi Kuti.

What sort of stupid question is this Fela of course. Sense too much for Fela songs.

What is a Lagbaja?

which kind thing be this now ? Fela of course. He is the real prophet and nigga

Lagbaja na copy of Fela style of musi.

And for the comments above, maybe aside from MJ, every musicians only 20 - 50% of their songs turn out to be hit, the rest will be miss.

Dis Thread is an insult to both Music and Abami Eda... Abeg mods remove dis nonsense from frontpage

I go with lagbaja simply because his music is catchy and easy on the ear. I can dance all day

:DThey are different musicians that addressed different aspects of our lives. Fela's music is more of a "long walk to freedom", while lagbaja's music was just casual, and mostly for we south westerners.

Who's comparing Lagbaja to Fela?

How can you compare ' Death' ( Fela) and ' Sleep' ( Lagbaja)??

I mean, what is this Kati-kati??

It should not even be discussed at all...

FELA

Fela anytime any day. Lagbaja music is for western Nigeria only. Fela music is global.

Fela is a legend but I think Lagbaja is terribly underrated
Give that man his credit.

The person who came up with the question and comparison must av taken the kind of weed Fela smokes.

No basis for comparison.

Fela >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lagbaja

Like comparing eagle with butterfly, both flies but if you know you know!
