your IQ is proportional to how you reason.erigga spit lmao

Joavid:


You're so right.
for instance, the first time I heard pana, I hated it and I still think it's a terrible senseless song but then everywhere I go, it's been played, I did not know when I started to move to the beats and mime the lyrics.

but I would never have it in my playlist.

I have less than 15 Naija songs on my playlist. Brymo being the dominant artist.

spacyzuma:

Likewise.

I typically avoid Nigerian music. The only Nigerian artistes that I would quickly listen to their new song are MI, Asa and maybe 2face.
Majority of the rest just use good beats & instrumentals to sing ridiculous trash.
But sometimes, the beat & instrumentals are just so good that you just can't help liking the song. Eg: Tekno's Pana and Marvin's Dorobucci. I love those songs and can never get tired of singing them. P-Square are also adept at using beats/instrumentals to make nice songs with silly or dumb lyrics.

Anyway, my Nigerian playlist is quite substantial with more than 100 songs dating from the 1980s. I've been collecting them since 2002.

Joavid:

you got it!
What makes Nigerian music is the beat and instrumentals.
The beat just moves right through you and you can't help it
but how come you still have music you collected since 2002 I don't even have my 2010 pictures.

I'm a data hoarder, and I'm quite meticulous about it.
I've been ripping, collecting, downloading songs for almost 2 decades, right from when my dad bought a desktop for the house around 1998.
My music library is now more than 12GB large with several thousand songs, and I'm still maintaining it by deleting unwanted songs and adding new discoveries.

I'm also paranoid about losing all my data, so I have several backups. My first External HArd Disk crashed in 2010, and I lost a lot of valuable data. Since then, I'm always careful to backup important files and folders.
I have a 4TB External HDD for all my data (movies, pictures, music, programs, documents, disk images)
I have a 2TB ExHDD for just my videos which I bring to Nigeria for people to copy from.
I backup the music folder (12GB) to the cloud (OneDrive).
I backup my important documents to Dropbox.

Sir,can you help me Send the best of these old school songs to my email. .and I have a business idea, why not start up an old school music blog or website

spacyzuma:


I could upload them to the cloud over the weekend and share with you. Please drop your email.

I have had that business idea for years, but I fail to see how it can make a profit, especially as downloading songs for free is now so easy and mainstream...and music-streaming services like Spotify are already in action...and the cost of hosting the blog for years...

All I do now is just share such songs freely to those who want them as I also got them freely.

My quest is still to find music and videos of some popular Nigerian songs of the 70s, 80s & early 90s that have faded away. Some people with similar vision like me have found some videos and uploaded to youtube (I've forgotten the channel).

Below are some songs I'm still looking for despite searching online for more than 10 years.

Sonny Okosun - Hidden Agenda album (1993/4). I will cry the day I finally find this album.
Daniel Wilson - Obirin Dada; Heartbreaker
Brenda Fassie - Her entire early discography before 1997
Alex O - Banana; and his other popular songs
Lorinne Okotie - We are heirs of the father; Come and see the lord in my house;
Onyeka Onwenu - Nne'm Nne'm; and other songs

Concerning the issue of profit, yes profit will come ..But not necessarily from the old school songs..The old school songs will serve as a segment in a more broad collection of topics and with hundreds of other music lovers looking for these old national treasures of ours, traffic is driven to the blog , AdSense booms and popularity ensures increased ranking leading to more adverts..


my email is idsam600@gmail.com

I have someone that possesses Alex O songs including banana
