How to Recognize a Wack Nigerian Song

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Nigeria with dere junk songs

4) ‘Ibadi ni jo wa’ It’s like other parts of the body do not matter to our musicians. They all seem to focus on the butt. One can blame them though; God knew what he was doing when he created that part of the body. But someone needs to ask our artistes to focus on another part of the body. Ask us to dance with our elbows or something… 5) ‘Baby’ We can allow this since it is better than hoes or bitches. Some of us are getting tired of most musicians referring to every girl as ‘baby’ its no longer cool. 6) I can die for you This is obviously a lie :) After Jesus Christ, there is absolutely no human being that can die as a result of the romantic feelings he or she has for someone. This stated, I see no reason why this in should be included in any song.

7) I pop bottles/champagne/Moet/Hennessey e.t.c There is this clip making the rounds of a wannabe music star shooting a video and one of the models ‘mistakenly’ popped a bottle of champagne that they were showcasing. The star’s reaction was priceless! As in, I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. The so called star immediately went ballistic! Accusing the model of trying to ruin him because apparently, he borrowed the bottles and he was supposed to return them untouched. Alas, some of our musicians are in d class of the star in the story above. If you can’t afford to pop d Hennessey you shamelessly mention in your songs, abeg leave that line out. It’s not by force. 8) I get money/mula/pepper/dollars/pounds Sigh… Another obvious point. On to the next one. 9) All ma lay lay lay lay lay lay ladies When the first musician used this phrase, it was kinda cool. But when every Tom Dick and Harry started infusing it in his or her song, it became un cool. Dear copy copy artiste, find your own phrase and stick to it

10) Unnecessary rhyming This is not a phrase per say, but when a musician rhymes likes this: “My girl uses the best cream So I had to reward her with ice cream Then off we went to the stream Living out our lives like it’s a dream” What else can you do but judge the musician, the song, his record label and those affiliated with him as wack? What other phrases do you think makes a song wack? Let us know in the comments section. This article was written by Calliope.

Dat's 9ja for ya....

Funny enough i dnt even listen to dia music, when I've not finish listening to classic music.

Buh some of d "wack" songs done by "superstars" gets norminated for awards. While some of d so called "upcoming" artiste wif meaningful lyrics are sometimes sidelined.... So i fink dey [artiste] sing what the market demands in order to hav endorsements.

Lol.. Evrybody wana sing... Dere re some songs dat d lyrics dsnt even make sense.. Dey just want it to rhyme... Nd I wonder if songs re meant to be sing for girls nd money issue alone... Some musicians dnt even knw d meaning of what dey demselves re saying ... See dis one "kirikuaka rikua rikua kirikuakarikua rikua" na wa

Lol

Cool

Good idea

Naso!
