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..
