EPs - Short album, usually should be 3-5 songs. Max 30 mins. So basically a longer Single.

Mixtape - is basically a collection of songs with fresh material or other peoples' material which another person decides to remake. The big selling point is, whoever owns the mixtape cannot sell or make financial profits from it if it contains other people's material because it will require sample clearance and other business arrangements. Whereas if the mixtape contains hundred percent of the artiste's own work, the artiste can decide to sell it for example, Drake's "So far Gone" which came out as a free mixtape first and he later on decided to repack (mostly engineered properly) it and sell for $5. There were samples on the mixtape which Drake had to clear before he could sell it. That is why most artistes usually release most of their unreleased materials as mixtapes. The Weeknd did the same - repackaged his three mixtapes added three tracks and put it up for sale. Usually because they cannot get sample clearance for the song or is just a rubbish song.

Album - Lets just call an album your dissertation. Meaning, it is well referenced if you used sources, it is usually more than 5 songs and it should make for compelling reading. I hope that analogy explains what an album is. Lack of referencing is what causes artistes to be sued for making money of the album without paying royalties (sometimes, money isn't even exchanged but the original of the song must agree to your usage of their song in your own body of work).

I am not a big fan of rumours, but this seems a bit plausible considering all the evidence out there in regards to the body of work D'banj has produced post Don Jazzy. That being said, Don Jazzy still has the beats but no star power. Please do not those Mavin tings. Wande Coal is the only one whose name shall be spoken. Plexi Nexus or whatever that album was called faded faster than...yes faded. So lets wait and see, it will be interesting to see the developments from this.

As much as I doubt the legit status of this so called piece of news, I must say if indeed it was true, Mo Hits would be the eventual loser of this fall out. Yes Wande might be short of dough for a period, his vocals would work anywhere given any good talented producer e.g. Jesse Jagz, ID Cabasa etc. And Mohits would be stuck with now crooner. And no D'Banj is not a crooner, listen to Move Your Body for evidence. The backing vocal provided by Wande Coal was on point and made the song hotter. It would be unfair to deny the amount of vocal contributions that Wande Coal has made to a huge percentage of songs that have come out of the Mo Hits label.
Just like you need mortar to hold the cement blocks together, Wande's vocal is needed to hold some of the good and some of the disjointed verses supplied in Mo Hits tracks together.

Man Nigga raw is seriously talented. You just have to pay him his dues. His debut was fire, but his sophomore is straight fire. As a Yoruba guy, it just encourages me to learn Ibo just so I can understand and rap it better lol

I am not asking for money neither am I preventing the song from being spread, matter of fact it is the opposite way. Its all about promoting the song. I was the one who sourced the song and put it up for people to download. All I am saying is he references the source of the origination. It is just common courtesy to say where you got it from. If I get a song from somewhere, i always write where I got it from as a way of acknowledgement. Its just a simple case of respecting someone's work.

In reference to your "mumu" finishing point, there is really no need for that. if you have problems expressing your opinions, you should really keep them to yourself or learn to better express yourself as a fully functioning adult.

Really MC Walka, the song is up for download on your blog yet the link for your download is stolen from my blog: worldfamousnaijablog.com , please show some type of courtesy and at least reference the source of where you got your material. Don't just steal links like that without saying where you got it from. Its very rude. Thank you for reading the blog.

lol omo lalaboi, there is difference oh. As in, I might come off a bit overly patriotic but there sure is difference between Naija hair and other Afrrican folks. Most Naija guys I know got good hair. Even my shit slick without d relaxers and all the chemo. Weezy must kno some nappy headed Naija person lol. I cannot believe we r wastin time with such a thread when dis was already discussed time ago when the song first came. Im out mehn. Peace

congrats on dat piece on detective work, smh

to be honest, i think this is a close battle between d'banj and 9ice. D'banj has a big following in London most especially in South London area. 9ice is d only artiste on d list dat seems closest to challenging him.

I was able to listen to Gino's album Pain plus work in its entirety and its quite impressive to say the least. Gino is a Nigerian rapper in answer to the post question. I have been comparing to Naeto's and I am having trouble as they are both good but there is just something about Gino. I believe he is one of the best kept rap secrets in Nigeria and one day I hope he gains his shine. Check out his entry and delivery in the Owen Gee video if you need prove as to how good this dude is. Also check out his farabale video.

It is not by force to start a topic. There are numerous threads out there sucking D'banj's member on his new album. I am not really sure starting another thread shrine would make us see just "HOW GOOD" this album is.

Hi Poster
A tracklist would be most helpful.
Thanks

@Sico - the song we don come again is actually called Pako on the album. Just thought I would point that out.

I cosign the poster to a certain extent. i believe its all about pride. We need to be proud of our language and country regardless of how messed up it is. I get really upset when people describe traditional Nigerian musicians as rass. I really hate that word. A lot of people used to describe 9ice as rass but now everyone is jumping on his dick especially after he performed at the Mandela concert. Artistes like Fela, King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, Lagbaja, 2face Idibia to mention but a few have reached or are reaching worldwide popularity that the likes of P Square can only pray and aspire to reach by being genuine and real. Be it singing in Yoruba or broken English. There is nothing bad in listening to Obesere (albeit he is a bit dirty with what he says), Ayuba, 9ice, Nigga Raw. These guys are representing. Our so called rap and rnb stars would only get home and national exposure at his rate because when they get to the international level, you would never be able to put P Square against Pretty Ricky to say the least. I say Nigerian musicians should stay repping our proud roots and culture. Last Lagbaja and Sunny Ade show I went to had literally the same amount of white people as black people. Obviously the two of them are doing something right and thats being genuine. The latest hype is a greek guy singing Gongo Aso. At this point, we must admit there is a pattern developing in the kind of Nigerian music that blows up beyond our Nigerian borders.

Please do not get me started on the South African shot videos. Dj Tee shot Banky W's Ebute Metta video entirely in Nigeria and that video is one of the realest videos you would see on TV without needing to go to South Africa. It added to the essence of the video rather than take away from it.

The album is a promo album. Lets not judge on a promo. Its just out there to test the fans reactions.

How does this make sense. The song was written by The Dream who is clearly without a doubt NOT NIGERIAN.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN 2006, Dream was brought in by Tricky Stewart, of Redzone, to write with several artists the company was working with such as, Atlantic artist, Bayje, Capitol artists Dear Jane and J. Holiday and Interscope artists Brit and Alex. All of such are due to release in 2007.

To kick off the new year, Dream started 2007 with a bang. With the help of Tricky, "Umbrella" was created and was shopped to several labels for several artists. From Britney Spears at Jive, to Mary J and Akon, but it was Karen Kwak of Universal Music that got the record into the hands of LA Reid and the rest is history. Dream knew right off that Rihanna would be the best artist out of all those incontention for the record. Island Def Jam flew Dream and Tricky to LA to record with Rihanna and also while there they wrote "Breakin Dishes".

YourFather:

Tundewoods,  you are right on all counts bar one,  the song comes accross as a badly done demo.

The thing is Naijapals has always had a register before listening policy.

MrJuwon, I have come to respect your opinions but I am not with you this one,  if you remove the name of the acts from this song, we would all say it was rubbish, Tundewoods made strongs points to back his arguement, I don't see anyone else doing the same.

I mean can you compare Mobolowo won to this,  Wande Coal would have done a better job.

Concept ok, execution 2/10 ,  common lets be real.

I totally agree with you on this. You have taken my words out of concept there as I didn't verse it properly.I meant cool as in just there average. If you read my full take here when I posted the track earlier(http://www.worldfamousnaijablog.com/2008/07/dbanj-fall-in-love.html) you would see what I meant about the track.

@tundewoods, I would assume you were not talking to me with the first thing you wrote there as I never asked you to register at Naija Pals neither did I post the link. I only made a comment which was not versed properly.

I have never heard of anyone selling a promo album.You usually give it away at like performances or give to djs and magazines. Never heard of selling which is why there is a huge misconception about it.But why would anyone think a 3/4 track cd is a whole album is worrying hehe. Anyone gonna post at least one song or something pleasee

sweet on the info. Thanks J Gillz.

Totally with you on this man. The track is cool.

Hey folks, so seems a few of y'all have it. Mind sharing. Would be really appreciated. Just rip, zip, and upload. Really really appreciate it mehn.

Sup Nairalanders,
I am in search of the promo album recently released by 2Face. Its called "Enter the place" i think and has abou 4 tracks on it. Basicly if anyone can shed some light on where I can get it online or anyone that can rip, zip and send it to me, I would really appreciate it. If you only have details on it, then that would be really appreciated as well even if it is just the pictures you can post online.

Thanks a lot

THIS IS JUST fucking stupid and pointless. I could barely read half the crap you wrote down there. Who is your source. What the hell. Where did this come from. What do you mean by the line "i don't know what is wrong with our dear dbanj , " do you know him apart from he is an entertainer. i cannot believe I am even writing on this crap or that I even read it. Lord please how can I redem so few seconds of my wasted time!!!

Darn, just when I was wondering where he was, this is the first thing i find. Oh well. Lol at person who said common £400. That is still money in Nigeria (no offence intended as I am sure some people would somehow find an offence in that statement). Oh well, he must have a reason, SMH. Eldee is quite right, if it was UK or America, then its straight to court,but in Nigeria, it seems sometimes people have to be shamed to do the right thing, oh well
