Omo...I do t know.if I feel pity or anger towards Modo. He was talented. He could have diversified and evolved with music and time. Even those American artists like Nas and jayz who were among the artists he listens to, diversified. It's not only about remaining true to your craft, its about making money too.

If with all that talent and you can't make money, omo you blame yourself.

After all.... "if it don't make money, then it don't make sense"

His choice of beat are always sounding the same. Beats from late 80s and early 90s. Wtf was all that. Same flow pattern with his gruff voice. Shey na only wordplay, metaphors and similes people go dey listen to? They need an over all good music.

Him going broke was inevitable. I noticed he has some new drops this year but no one noticed. I checked it out and it's still same old shit. Mode nine na mumu wey no wan help himself abeg.

Emaprince:
damn. Those guys no just get luck sha.

They paved the way and faded out broke.

to be honest it is the fate of most artistes

short shelf life, surrounded by hangers on - sometimes even your agent and accountant go dey chop you

there is a rap show queens featuring brandy , eve and someone who i forget as artistes past their prime.
i am sure you saw video of bobby brown crashing in one video vixens house

and we have this dramatization of the fall of a rapper from grace

Oladips will explain tire. He has successfully killed whatever remains of his career with the stupid stunt he pulled on himself.

He better chop wetin he fit chop from this album he release cos someone like me who used to be his fan from when he was with Reminisce, I've lost complete interest in his craft. I no even bother check any song out on the yeye album sef

iamoyindamola:

The guy is mad nothing he can say to redeem himself from that madness
People already writing rip to him

iamoyindamola:

All these guys came early they are all talented trying to stay at the top
There's also this guy from kennis music that look like usher, rasaq is his name

Eldee is another agba awo

Amigoss:


🤣🤣NigerIan's dey quick forget and no dey hold grudge,all he needs to do is a giveaway and drop a banger,and we go vibe

raumdeuter:


Rasqui wey sing that Banger Soji hmmm soji hmm to ba ti de agbo ko soji

Emaprince:
I think Eldee was a producer in Atlanta. He was working with upcomers...and in an interview, he claimed that the money he was making from them was bigger than what he was making in Naija.

Anyway, with the way things turned around now, our artistes are almost on per with A list American artists in terms of income generation now...and even global dominance

Peter Obi is really dumb and cannot hide his bigotry

Where was he when Abia and Anambra were demolishing houses in their state. When flood takes over the state the same foolish Obi will open his gutter mouth to squeal like a rat and whine

This is the same Obi doing the same as governor of Anambra

Digital money really revolutionised music.

These guys worked hard and didn't earn so much.

Another guy i liked was W4...That guy dey burst my head

I grew up in Festac, so a lot of all these guys started from there. I doubt if anyone that grew there in the 90s didn't run into these guys.

Sweet old memories

Did you find your lost voice now? You've been avoiding political news because your candidate isn't doing well. If Obi speaks, your prick go stand. 😂

African countries budget compared to their population

This was the analysis I was looking for so we can know what is a realistic expectation for where Nigeria should be even with zero corruption

donjazzet:


You keep saying this and I keep thinking that it seems the word PRODUCTION is lost on you.

Yes Nigeria is currently earning a paltry 33 billion dollars BUT the country has the POTENTIAL POTENTIAL POTENTIAL to earn much more. And this is what president Obi was hammering on.
Oil is just one resource out of many Nigeria has. Textile and fashion is a trillion dollar industry. Netherlands earns almost a trillion dollars from it's agricultural sector. Australia earns more than 500 billion dollars from it's mining sector, coal, uranium, iron ore, gold, aluminum, copper etc. some of which we also have. Tech is a multi trillion dollar economic sector, it's not a natural resource, Israel and India are pulling in multi billions from this sector.

Nigeria was once richer than china in the 70's. Nigeria was once richer than India but today both countries have flown high by virtue of good leadership planning and good resourcefulness of their human resources and left Nigeria behind.

A country with high population has tremendous POTENTIAL. 8 of the top 10 most populated countries make up part of the top 15 richest economies in the world.

China, India, USA, Indonesia, Nigeria, Russia are top 6 most populated countries in the world. Only Nigeria is not in the top 10 richest economies.

Mr man stop this nonsensical talk about how what Nigeria is earning even without corruption.

Good leadership will see us maximize our potential and become a thriving society. We need to plan for the long term and eradicating corruption is the first step.

GloriousGbola:


What production record does 'president obi' have?
Talk is the cheapest thing there is.
His sole attempt at production was a dismal failure.

donjazzet:


First of all, a governor of one of the smallest state in the country can't be expected to do much in terms of production, relative to resources
His selling point was his relative integrity, prudent use of government resources and a brilliant sound mind but to answer your question, his most prominent efforts to date in terms of production was attracting a multi billion naira conglumerate to open a factory in the state, employing local labor and paying taxes to the state thereby increasing the earning potential of the state.

Does this satisfy you?
My president remains the only one who consistently spoke out against corruption, a need to contract governance spending and increase our production capacity. To move us from consumption to production.

GloriousGbola:


Your governor Alex Otti is spending billions on feeding. Talk is cheap like I said.

I like what you said about a governor of one of the smallest states and economies in the country. That may explain why what we are getting is fancy soundbites that mean nothing. Increase means of production. If he could not make a brewery profitable in a small tiny state, what makes you think he will not replicate the same disaster?
It is also rich hearing a person who made his fortune from importing talking about consumption to production. But it is what it is.
