Op u just said my mind Mr EAZI is too overrated

Synord:
5) Lil Kesh - This dude practically has little to nothing to offer musically.. With below par lyrics, childish delivery on topics relating to sexual acts and mostly noisy beats, one can say Lil kesh barely survived on the hype of YBNL ..This can be seen in his three singles released after his exit from YBNL,kojo,shele Gan Gan and fake love, all 3 singles not performing to expectation not forgetting his highly forgettable ( pun intended ) debut album, YAGI ...


4) Ycee - Zaheer as he is fondly called is another very overated act...His lyrical prowess can be no where compared to the likes of poe,ozone,Yung6ix and even Erigga..The act who has been using his rapsy voice to gain a edge ,may be surely talented but at the same time ,highly overrated compared to the crop of Rappers out here in Nigeria grinding..


3) Ice Prince - Former choc city act , Ice prince... I find it very hard to believe he actually won a BET award...With wack ass flows like ' I shit in twos ,poo poo...'. one cannot but wonder how the act has managed to acquire a large fan base and selling out shows ...


2) Davido - Yes. ,Davido is very very overrated..Apart from the obviously poor vocal ability, we all know how he comes about his songs including his latest single. The artists has been using nothing but money,influence and connection to force his songs on Nigerians ..If u doubt me, search davido Tim Westwood freestyle on Google and see for yourself.


1) Mr Eazi - The most overrated artiste I know of as to be Mr Eazi.. With an astounding lack of musical surprise and monotonous delivery , How the act managed to gain a huge following with his weak lines and burns boy like vibes remains a surprise ..


These are the five most overrated artists in Nigeria and I hope they prove their talents soonest ..

PRAIZE is the best Male vocalist in Nigeria right now! Headie or no headies!

tosynAB:


Wande coal?

Abi you are mad ni

Shelloween:
Just because you're not feeling their jams doesn't mean they are overrated. Generally, Nigerian Music is overrated.

DMeanMan:


How much does that add to his bank account?

The nigga can probably use some money right now.

Synord:


solidstar is so underrated for real !!!

eitsei:
why is wizkid better than davido? Beats? Lyrics? Voice? Or what?
If it's beats you have nothing to justify your claim because they work with good producers.
If it's lyrics they are no better than each other except wizkid of superstar album maybe and maybe joy in his last album
If it's voice, there are so many artistes like that and voice is not the only that makes you a good musician I didn't say singer.
They are all almost the same except few Brymo and this new guy Johnny drille

morscino:

It's funny how poor people always think they have an opinion...All these ppl mentioned are living their dreams,while u're stuck with ur keypad,typing trash..

like d FTC said...U too try do something,and get rated too...

BIRTHDAY CAKE (REMIX)"
(FEAT. CHRIS BROWN)
Come and put your name on it (put your name on it)
Come and put your name on it (your name)
Bet you wanna put your name on it (put your name on it)
Come and put your name on it
It’s not even my birthday
But he wanna lick the icing off
I know you want it in the worst way (the worst way)
Can’t wait to blow my candles out
He want that cake, cake, cake…
(You wanna put your name on it)
Ooh baby I like it, it’s so exciting
Don’t try to hide it
I’mma make you my Dam
Cake, cake, cake… [repeated]
(You wanna put your name on it)
I know you wanna bite this
It’s so enticing
Nothing else like this
I’mma make you my Dam
And it’s not even my birthday (my birthday)
But you wanna put your name on it
And it’s not even my birthday (my birthday, my birthday)
And he trying to put his name on it
[Chris Brown]
Legggo
Girl I wanna Bleep you right now (right now)
Been a long time, I’ve been missing your body
Let me-let me turn the lights down
When I go down, it’s a private party
Ooooh, it’s not even her birthday
But I wanna lick the icing off
Give it to her in the worst way
Can’t wait to blow her candles out
I want that cake, cake cake….
Ooh baby I like it, it’s so exciting

Cake cake cake cake….
Ooh baby I like it, it’s so exciting

[Chris Brown]
Doggy want the kitty
Give me a heart attack and throw it back
Now watch me get it
And I knew thiss but you the poo
Damn, girl you pretty
Blowing out your candles, let me make a couple wishes



Agreed both of them fall under the category of non-inspiring songs, Which of the two lyrics above one could still manage to make a sense out of in terms having meaning (though sort of vulgar) and not just muddling up words and sentences that are not even remotely related.
I mean if you for example, study three lines of each, which one has a complete meaning and which one sounds like that of 2-year old child who just started leaning how to mutter words.


OK. For clarity, imma combine the first 5 lines of each song to form a sentence.

richywhales:
if u want to succeed in dis lyf stop listening to nigeria music, nigeria artist are all bunch of noise makers, d onlytin gud abt naija music industry is dat we ave gud beat producers and few realist artist like johnny drille, dremo

DAREY Art Alade, Timi Dakolo, Cohbams. Some of the good vocalist we have in Naija.

Synord:



Boss , Google Davido on Tim Westwood and Google Wizkid on Tim Westwood ..Watch the two videos and am 100 percent sure your stance on this matter will change ...

GetUmad:
Let's for once pretend as if we already didn't know the songs below and you're just coming across the lyrics for the very first time. Imagine you stumbled on a book containing lyrics below written by your kid cousin or child, wouldn't you just laugh it off? Would you even take it serious.

MAJORITY OF NIGERIAN SUPPOSED LOVE SONGS SHOULD CARRY A CAVEAT ; PLS DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME


Gone are those days you'd copy a love song and use it words for words to ask that your secondary school classmate out. Days of ; All my life by KC&JOJO, unbended knee, BoyzIImen.... Guess what? It never failed. Say it and watch her smiling even chuckling, going back to her hostel gushing about it with her friend and next day you see them all admiring you. Pls go ahead and use those ones pasted above on a lady, I could only imagine the reaction that would follow .

FACT:
MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD CLAIM THEY LOVE ANY OF THESE SONGS CAN'T PROUDLY SAY WHAT PARTICULAR MESSAGE THEY CARRY. THEY ONLY GET TO LOVE IT AS A RESULT OF FONDNESS GROWN FOR IT THROUGH CONSTANT AIRPLAY. The more you hear a song the more you grow fond of it. Also many people that would not see any thrash in these songs are those ones that go to beer palor or clubs all the time. When you constantly listen to songs under the influence of alcohol, you'd definitely have nothing against it but love it.

Lordkylie:
Aha! The other day I was watching video wheels or views and tunes? I can't remember the program but they were analyzing runtown's "mad over you". Temmy(of cool FM I think) said we take Nigerian artists too serious ,most of them do music for the vibes and for the money nothing more. When lil kesh became popular, Ehiz of MTV asked him what he thought about those who criticised his music because of the lyrics. Dude said he didn't care as long as the money was rolling in then all is well. See? We have few artists who truly love music in Nigeria, most are just entertainers who're in it for the money.Trust me if juju music starts selling tomorrow, these artists will not hesitate to switch. Look at olamide, when I heard his first song I thought " wow" but now he's singing pepper dem gang, what the mess?
Finally it all boils down to our society, it's a Nigerian thing- we love and revel in mediocrity

Krisddon:

Davido, Ice Prince over rated? Wake up bro!
May I bring to your notice that everything in life is all about the Grace of God. So, in music your work may be the wackest yet you're one of the most successful artists.

JayJayGee:
OP for mentioning ycee i feel like to give you the beating of your life

acenazt:
Na Lil Kesh Worse Pass. That Guy Should Be Number 1 On The List.

NegeduGrace:
the first day I heard that davido's song *if* I was so u analyzed it well jare**very talentless

tosynAB:



Bro you be mumu sha, with dat talentless and bad lyrics still Sony found love to their songs and sign them, but have you ever think about the reason that makes them not to sign those talented and good lyrical singer.. alaye go rest joor, alubarika is the koko ....

uzoclinton:
You obviously don't know good music....

NeeKlaus:
GetUMad, with the way you showcase your abhorrence for Nigerian artistes, I want to assume you are a fan of their foreign counterparts.

You don't like Olamide. He has meaningless lyrics. If you can analyse the wordings of 2 songs by Lil' Wayne and Tyga, then I will rest my case.

If you can't come up with even one, then you are just another hypocrite. No offense intended.

moghulis:
Burna boy is better than most Nigerian artists.
