@tobyasky I value your insights and articles on Nigerian footballers in the diaspora and other football matters. It is easy to see you do it from real passion devoid of farming engagement which is the obvious motivation of the many recent actors, cosplaying as Super Eagles aficionado.
@wandyvirus@TpAlan@official2baba Yes! Their era was the era immediately after the good old era. It was almost impossible to breakthrough in music in that era if you are not artistically sound. I still watched a P² video recently and I dare say that aside from today's buzz, we've lost the essence of the craft.
@wandyvirus@TpAlan What is my business with a musician's acquisition of a car? Our medium of association is the music, do it well. In many of my private discussions with @TpAlan , I have opined that 'the purpose of music is music' not razzmatazz, even if it is key to the business side of it.
@wandyvirus@TpAlan I cannot remember the last time I listened to a Nigerian song in the pop era and I am thinking a bout musicality: the vocals, the dance, the mastery of pianist, the dancers- the real artistic essence of music. But no, it is numbers, the streams, the houses they bought.
@SportsAdigun Traditional Gospel music, the kind you listen to on 'One Gospel' in the night from Benjamin Dube to Marvin Sapp etc. > > > > > > > > > > >
@SportsAdigun Yet Kosoba bi ire was contemporary produced by Wole Oni and yet balanced. I tell a lot of musicians that I don't like loop as it makes the music thematic. And on syncopation, I believe syncopation is like dribbling in football; it is not an end in itself but a means.
@SportsAdigun The annoying thing is they don't even consider the demography of listeners in the making the songs. Most of the songs are designed for the young hence they are up-tempo, present day lingo in their writings. So how does my mother for instance, relate with the song?
