The Steady Decline of Contents In Our Music Industry.

They say content is King, staying real is originality. But can this be said about Nigeria Entertainment Industry?
It has gotten to a stage where we need to remind our Music Directors, Producers and singers that everything is not about "Pangolo" beat. We have to let them know it is not until when they sexually arouse us with lewd ladies rocking in their video shoot that we will become interested.

Unfortunately, Most Nigerians especially youth have forgotten songs with lyrical and rich contents and prefer to shake their bums and throw "Dabs," so long the song have a fast and danceable beat.
We prefer to patronise noise makers, one musician will sit down somewhere and write imaginary lines, before you say Jack, he is already at the studio with his producers looking for danceable beats.
We have used this habit to force those Song writers who are ready to give us rich contents to start singing out of place.
In Nigeria, only few artistes like Timi Dakolo, Darey, 2face, ASA amongst others are still holding onto rich contents and nice beats.

For those song writers that deviated and decided to go commercial, I wouldn't blame them because we refused to patronized and forced them to start singing to our popular " Pangolo Beats." Passion without money is a joke.
Therefore, to be able to bring back rich contents to Nigeria music, we have to let musicians know it is not about the beat,nude pictures or dance but about the contents that are inspirational.

KCee speaks on Government ban on shooting videos outside Nigeria.

Kcee’s Opinion To FG’s Move To Stop Music Production Abroad (video)

KCee, Five Star Music Artiste has reacted to the Federal Government’s move to put an end to the production of Nigerian music and videos abroad. He did this during his interview with Wotzup ONTV.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed had said during a meeting with the Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) that the Federal Government will look in to ways they can help the local entertainment industry. Part of their plan is to stop the trend whereby contents meant for the Nigerian public is produced abroad and brought into the country for consumption and as well saying shooting videos outside the country doesn’t add to the nation’s economy.

Many Nigerian music artistes have shared their views concerning the move. PSquare, Kcee, Yemi Alade, Falz, Ruggedman, Charly Boy are some of those who have slammed the minister and the FG’s decision.
Five Star Music artiste, KCee sees it as a move that will stop or hinder the progress of the music industry. He gave an instance of difficult it will always be to bring a foreign musician all the way from London to Nigeria to shoot a video.
Currently, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is away in London concerning health issues. Nigerians have complained about the prolong absence of the President whose nature of sickness they are not informed about.
The proposed move by the FG is seen by many musicians including Peter of Psquare as an hypocritical one since most government officials prefer overseas when they want to educate their children or get medical attention.
The singer also spoke on the issue of social media fans always questioning to know the source of his brother E-money’s wealth.

Nigeria Hip Hop Musicians and Twitter Fights

Until recently, Twitter used to be a social site where you tweet and get reply from others, even our entertainers used it to show love to their many fans.
Twitter has a unique feature which is it use of #words (#Guruzland) that can trend very fast across the globe.

It is this feature that many of our artistes especially hip hop artiste used to get attention, they have taken it one step further by throwing jibes and abusive words at each other, which will immediately make them trend as their fans would rally round them to support against the opponent.

One thing I have come to notice is after each of the Twitter clash,one party or at times both parties would release a song that would quickly trend and people will forget about the fight they had.

Is this a new marketing strategy?
Do they intentionally create scenes on Twitter just to get fans attention?

I believe it to be so, like in the case of Singer A and Singer B something like a back stage chat could have occur.

Take a look at this scenerio.
Conversation via Twitter Direct Message.
Singer A: Singer B, I gat a track to release soon.
Singer B: Oh nice, I gat an album to release soon too. Don't you think we should try to get people's attention before the release?
Singer A: Nice idea, *smiles * Singer B eleniyan.

The next thing, Singer B tweet, "some people with frog voice cannot do this."
Before you know it Kasala have burst.

They should keep on playing us but the truth is we know.
