There is always a lot of noise on radio, TV and social media whenever
any of the local Nigerian hip hop artistes receive the attention of top
American hip hop artistes Akon and Kanye West, the most peddled in
Nigeria. And millions of hip hop fans in Nigeria go gaga over any of
their idols featuring Akon and Kanye West in their songs and music
videos thinking that will simply catapult them into the American music
charts. But none has been able to do so and when 2face Idibia won the
Best African Act 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards and Best International
Act: Africa BET Awards of 2011, he did not feature any Akon or Kanye
West to accomplish these feats. And D’Banj has already been an
international success before he featured the popular American hip hop
rapper Snoop Dogg in his Mr. Endowed (Remix)and before Kanye West
suddenly appeared like a black rabbit out of the hat of a magician.
Featuring Akon or Kanye West will never help all these our local
hip hop acts to break into America, because Americans are too
knowledgeable to know what is good music from the noise being played by
majority of Nigerian hip hop artistes I see as good clowns of hip hop
and can be entertaining to millions of Nigerians who don't really know
good music and choreography.
These Nigerian clowns of hip hop cannot rap and cannot sing without lip synching and they are not even articulate!
They can't speak, because they have no training in the basic rudiments of music, without speech or voice training.
Their live shows expose their mediocrity.
Yes
they can make millions of naira which scam artists are also making in
Nigeria by swindling millions of ignorant Nigerians just like our
corrupt politicians have also been doing in all the rackets messing up
Nigeria where corruption, ignorance and mediocrity have left the nation
in rot.
Nneka and Aṣa have been able to break into America and Europe without featuring any Akon or Kanye West.
Check out Nneka and Aṣa and see the difference between a true artist and a hip hop racket. Video below
