MeeLan:
u say fella songs no get lyrics?

franklingud:

Please lecture the indomie generation child.

Dantedasz:




The most annoying thing is that most of them don't understand that their heroes lift lyrics and chorus from many of Fela's past songs,jazz up the beats and call it music.
Everyone of the current singers do this without acknowledging the originator. Or is it the current female rave that steals Mama Comfort Omoges style,lyrics and choruses and jazzes it up with fast beats without acknowledging the originator.
It is so sad that the current generation know Nothing about music history.

Ugosample:


help me tell them

FELA remain my G.O.A.T when it comes to Nigerian music...

but judging by these people logic

what does "man get different eye for woman yansh" mean

Jayslicky:
ok we just hope it won't be those songs where a word is repeated like 50times, like soco.

Gabson001:

which planet you from?

kiddoiLL:
Wetin him wan sing pass him “I getty one big baka” and all other nonsense with his “Manya” lyrics?
Na una dey expect the songs sha...
People like us, we no kukuma dey hear these noisy vocals called songs

MobileGees:





First of all let me point out the fact that Fela is no doubt a legend and I adore him but truth be told Fela has

40% wack lyrics
30% idioms/proverbial lyrics
30% of his lyrics are good

My reason? Let me quote one of his lyrics for you:

Ju'di, ju'di, ju'di
Ju si le
Ju'di, ju'di, ju'di
Ju si le
Ju'di, ju'di, ju'di
(for those that don't understand this mean shake your bum bum)

Odi you all, yansh don fall
Anywhere yansh go, yansh must fall
Up, left, right, round round, it must fall
And na thing wey yansh dey do na this suite:
Shit, piss, Bleep, it is, why not?
Because yansh na wonderful material perfect


If we go by today standards they would tell you Fela has repitive, poor lyrics

Emphasis on "repitive" 80% of Felas lyrics are repitive


And going by this guy repitive lyrics are wack


You see my point?


I consider Fela a legend nonetheless

Dantedasz:
I hope I don't get banned for this. Here are the complete lyrics of the Judi which you took out of context. You lifted a chorus out of an LP vinyl record to prove poor lyrics.
The song is called Army arrangement and here are the complete lyrics.
@mobilegees,

Samsimple:
I wonder why some people smoke, if we were designed to smoke we for get chimney for head

MobileGees:

Lol you should also quote lady by Fela lyrics

And compare to this generation lyrics you might get my point

MobileGees:
All of them above me think they know music but they are all just guilible

All of them complaining of lyrics but when ASA, cobhams Johnny Drille drops music you will never see them dowload it oo

If you think we listen to Wizkid music for lyrics you are very mistaken, it is the vibe people want and Wizkid has that 100%

You want lyrics go and listen to Timi Dakolo and the rest, songs that will be making you sleepy

As for me I'd rather listen to my Davido and Wizkid songs than listen to those ASA song that sounds like funerals song


Even Baba Fela songs no too get lyrics but he is considered the greatest artistes of all time music is an art it's not always all lyrics

MobileGees:
All of them above me think they know music but they are all just guilible

All of them complaining of lyrics but when ASA, cobhams Johnny Drille drops music you will never see them dowload it oo

If you think we listen to Wizkid music for lyrics you are very mistaken, it is the vibe people want and Wizkid has that 100% for u to say fela no get lyrics... U no kw music..

franklingud:

Am I comparing wizkid and Asa?

Who in his/her right senses will compare the great ASA and small boy wizkid?

Go and get sense before you mention your father.

MobileGees:


No Fela is considered great for his activist type of music he is considered great for being able to predict our political future with his musics, being able to stand up to politicians even if he knew it might cost him his life and don't forget Fela birthed Afrobeat, he is the founder of the Afro beat genre we all know today

dumbiri99:

Frustrated he-goat. Loser, Hater all in one. Get a life slowpoke

franklingud:

Son, Keep on displaying your stupidity and low life behaviour.
Keep disgracing your parents.

Jayslicky:
ok we just hope it won't be those songs where a word is repeated like 50times, like soco.

franklingud:

So you know all these and still said that Fela has wack lyrics??

So if you're a musician, every time you will be singing one particular notion maybe talking about politicians?
That Fela sang about nyash falling anywhere anyhow, Bro he loves women, that's natural as a man.

Tell me any of these nowadays musicians who can sing what Fela sang. Which of them can have the morale, the impetus, the guts to lambast any polithiefcian. So to say.

And to top it all up he also lambasted our president buhari back then.

Even burna boy cannot sing half of what Fela sang.

They can sing once but immediately they receive some cash? Boom! They'll stop sharp sharp.

dumbiri99:

Loser

MobileGees:


I actually think Falz is following that Fela path, though we aren't giving him deserved recognition yet, his last album has Fela written all over it

Samsimple:
I wonder why some people smoke, if we were designed to smoke we for get chimney for head

fr3do:
wizkid is slowly leaving the spotlight

franklingud:

Lol!!!
No wonder your name is dumb fool

dumbiri99:

Haha pathetic. Dead-o, Loserr
