Now, let me speak:
For those of you who have heard this song before,truth be told, the beat of this song ain't that bad..,you can definitely groove to it.But,I do have issues with the lyrics.Like first of all,.. What the F is YAMARITA?..
I know musical artists love cooking up new slangs and all that, but YAMARITA!.. I don't  get it!.. What is it suppose to mean?.. 
And also the chorus part:"Isu Ogo Eyin Fepami,two eggs,one yam x3.. Seriously,are we singing about yam and eggs now? ..It sounds like a nursery rhyme for christ sake.
You also ended up saying "my girls go vex cause them love am x3".. I know girls love food though, but not just yam and eggs (lol)..
Like seriously, "mo da bi ti amarita".. You know,I had to google search these words but got nothing..Though am Yoruba,I still couldn't decipher what you were saying.
Quote me wrong on this people,"You are in love" by Joe-EL was a great song, and the song that struck the name Joe-EL in peoples heart, simply because the song made a lot of sense lyrically.. So,why has Joe-EL decided to feed us with yam and egg now?.. (chuckles)..(No need to talk about the verses,we all know the hook plays the major role in song writing)

YAMARITA as a song for me,isn't what I expected from an artist like Joe-EL lyrically speaking.. It's just the unserious and unintelligent kind of song,more or less a freestyle after getting high or something.. I mean,you can't tell me you sat down to write a song about yam and egg!No matter your interpretation of it..(laughing).. Shit ain't funny though.

So now to the part were I give my undiluted opinion as to whether this song is "worthy or unworthy" of the artist who did it, and of we the listeners that our souls are been fed with it.. Hmm, I would say this song.. is.. UNWORTHY.
Nonetheless people,let's have your own opinion and your comments on this.

Joe-EL, should you be reading this, please don't  get it twisted..I love your songs,most especially"You are in love".. That was a song you made with an intention, you had solid reasons, a purpose for making it and we the listeners were able to interprete the message embedded within the song.. We need more of that from you, songs that speaks meaning.. Be it about love, the society,gangster ish, peace,war,etc.. Anything,as long as when you put the words together,they make deep sense,carry emotions,and have meaning.. Hope that ain't too much to ask?.. Huh! (smiles).. 

So it's a wrap for today people,on wednesday we're gonna be looking at another song from a different artist... Keep your comments coming,I expect some people to disagree with me on this.. Just type "WORTHY" if you disagree (state your reasons maturedly).. Or type "UNWORTHY" if you are seeing things from my point of view or yours. 

P.S.. This is not intended to taint the image of anyone.

INTRODUCING!!!... "DA LYRICS CRITIC SHOW"

Africa!.. Nigeria!!.. Music lovers all over the world!!!.. Let me ask a quick question!.. How many of ya'll agree with me that some of our musical artists SUCK lyrically?.. Hmm??.. I DO!.. It's like this artist releases this song and everyone is like.. "hey!.. Dope song,tight lyrics,nice punchlines, inspirational,motivational,elevating,initiating"..you know, good comments like that..Then this next artist drops his song and you are asking yourself questions like.. "what kind of horrible song is this?.. Are the lyrics intended to corrupt and damage the mindset of our generation and the next?..Why not just sing with pidgin rather than speak incorrect grammar,then claim "It is allowed"?.. What message does this song carry?.. Why is this person repeating the same thing from the beginning to the end of the song?.. Why so much curse and swear words?.. And so on and so forth.. And the interesting part is, these latter set of artists are the ones who get more airplay on radio and TV.. Isn't that wonderful?.. *Chuckles*

The painful part is when you watch the interviews of these artists, they claim Nigerians and Africans just wanna dance, indirectly saying Africans don't value content,that we are not lyrically cautious nor conscious nor intelligent,and that we are all about the beat and just want something to nod our heads too..  I say this is an insult on Nigerians and Africans as a whole.. 

We all know music is life,and are created for different moods.. You can be singing about love or hate, I can be singing about thug life or religion, the next artist could be singing about money and luxury..but the lyrical composition,content and delivery of these messages is what matters.. It should make SENSE..,because the way it is today,every Tom,Dick and Harry feel they can make a song because they don't see what is so special in it anymore.." Ooh!.. It's simple,just get high and go say whatever you like on the mic!"

I for one believe it's high time we put our African-Nigerian artist in-check,in-line,on their feet and on their toes..They must realise that we are not just interested in dancing, but in what they have to say.. The future of our generation and the next depends on it.,and which is why what you are about to read is the key to curbing so much indecency,and laziness of our musical artists, not to despise them but to encourage them to put in more work in the music they do..,because, there is a saying that "Music is the food to the soul".. So tell me, what are you feeding your soul?.. 

Ladies and gentlemen,music lovers worldwide,without no further ardor, I present to you the revolutionary show you have been waiting for,tagged "DA LYRICS CRITIC SHOW".. This show promises to be entertaining, revealing, controversial,provocative,but most importantly,rewarding.. And I am your host!!..  Call me J 2 da B.O.S.S(J'Boss)..aka Braveheart.. Yea mehn!.. *smiles*
This show will be hosted on www.jbossentertainment.blogspot.com
Every Wednesday and Friday of the week, starting from this Friday(da 19th),the idea is to randomly pick a song of one of our favorite African artists,post the lyrics of the song and srutinize the song as a whole,most especially their lyrical content and give our opinion if it's "worthy or unworthy".. And the sweet thing is,you also get the opportunity of airing your opinion on the same song by dropping your comments..(Saying it the way you see it.. Ya'll dig!).

This is the beginning of something big and I would need all your supports and your criticisms to make it a success,but most especially your honest opinions. 

P. S. This show is not intended to taint the image of anybody..
