that's on you.
Your taste is not high life so it's understandable if you don't know him. You can continue to shake your ass to the likes of portable and psquare.

unknown people don't get Grammy nominations. The number of Nigerians with Grammy nominees are not even up to 20 despite the fact that Nigeria has been the face of African music for decades now.

Psquare entire career, they didn't even come close.

Not me bro ..I think majority of Nigerians don't know him....... Don't get too emotional on it.

Is Grammy invitation a definition of good music or popularity??

Cos u can't tell me Tems is better or more popular than 2face

Theflint1:
Lots of unknowns get Grammy nominations and even win the Grammys. Peter PSquare might be a dunce , but he was right on Seun Kuti being quite the unknown.

Theflint1:
Searched his tweets for mentions of "Tinubu" and [b]he made it clear even as at 2015 that the tweet was him praising BAT for his role in helping to create a formidable opposition party that kicked the PDP out and not him praising Buhari. [/b]Seun Kuti na real one and very sound mind, my only issue with him is he's a little too idealistic.

I'm telling you that Grammy is not for unknown people. Cos you claim not to know doesn't mean people don't. That's 100% on you.

Afro high life is not your thing so it's understandable if you don't them.
You only know what you care about.
I'm sure if I name 3 very famous classical musicians, you will claim you don't know them because they are not 50cent or jayz you are used to.

I know seun kuti same way I know Femi kuti, made kuti and the great fela himself.
They are international artist who are very famous for what they do.

Also, genre is different. Don't lump 2 face and the kutis together unless they are into the same genre.


It's like saying asa makes better music than pasuma.

do you think his name will spring up on d 10best Afro high Life artists in Nigeria

ribbit:
you mean Grammy just picks random persons from the trenches and dash them award?

Theflint1:
Seun Kuti is quite the unknown, at least compared to PSquare. There's no country in the world where Seun Kuti at his peak would have outsold PSquare at their peak, same way he won't outsell a Davido, MI, DBanj or Olamide at their peak. Compared to top Nigerian acts, Seun Kuti is quite the unknown.

ribbit:
please name the 10 best afro highlife Nigeria.

Theflint1:
No, but you don't have to be popular to get a grammy nomination or even award. The grammy caters for different music niches, and some of these niche musicians have a small fanbase, but because their music niche is covered in the grammies, they'd win the award. I no even wan bring people that win grammies for production, instrumentation and other fringe roles in music production, sometimes, you only need follow work on song and you go win grammy put.

Segedinho:

You might wanna check d list of real classical high life that were not necessarily invited to d podium.

Now this is chaos. Imagine what would have happened if it wasn't extended at all. Just points to the fact that we were actually right all along.

But why is it that the APC is trying to shift the whole blame to Emefiele or some mysterious elements in the villa as if Buhari is a 3 year old boy.

Why do I have a feeling this is exactly what Buhari wants. There are no elements anywhere and Emefiele is just a convenient scape goat.

This looks like Buhari 100%

ribbit:
is this what I asked? Where is the list of 10 famous afro high life musician more popular than seun kuti?

Emaprince:
First lady of kogi state is also a thief?

Why haven't Am oto regaled us since?

Bello can do no wrong in his eyes....if Bello has only one fan,it is am oto...

The fact that Nigeria is yet to collapse and gone totally bankrupt is a miracle because jeez...

Segedinho:
is seun more popular than the people up there??

ribbit:
*facepalm*

The post you quoted is clear enough na.

Lemme reiterate.
It's all about what you care about.
Pasuma is likely to sold out in ibadan trenches than someone like psquare. Why?

Because there are more people who care about Fuji music than whatever psquare sing.

To them psquare is unknown.

Just like seun is unknown to you cos you don't really listen to his type of music.

ribbit:
you finally got it.

Seun niche is small but he is famous in his niche.

There are other people in that niche that Grammy didn't look at their side.

It's not about what you care about alone. The average volleyball know about say an Mbappe, Rooney or even Maguire, but your average football fan would not be able to pick the picture of the GOAT of volleyball. It's just like Tom Brady who for many years was the GOAT of American football but nobody outside the US knew him.

obainojazz:
Seun does not sell in any niche jare

He makes just enough to buy igbo and shayo

ribbit:
you are confusing being famous with being influential.

You can be famous but not exactly influential. Also, Influence has grade.

Because you are not influential doesn't make you a nobody, only a stupid people like dem psquare will say that.

Because Messi is more influential than rooney is not enough reason to call Rooney nobody.
