#3 Nigerian Music Madness

I guess I can finally say "ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME" that Nigerian music can now be enjoyed by me. I grew up in the States majority of my life, so  hiphop, neo soul, r&b & pop was my type of music. Nas, India Arie, Talib, Jean Grae, Beyonce, Jill scott, Lauryen Hill, Dwele, The Roots, Foreign Exchange, Little Brother, etc (I bet half of yall reading this don't know 70% of the people I just named.. smh mainstream ass folks.)

Don't get me wrong, I still grew up listening to many Nigerian music from my parents time, Fela Kuti, Prince Nico Mbarga, Sonny Okosun, etc, but I always felt I was forced to listen to it, and forced to enjoy it because my parents did. It was the same type of music at all the social events that we were "forced to go to" and it was the same music my parents danced to at home. So my love for it wasn't the same love my parents had for it, and I just never got interested in listening to that type of music by choice PERIOD.

ANYBOO lets get to the POINT..

I'm not all that new to the current revelation of "banging" Nigerian Music produced in the past few years. Thankfully I got to know enough Nigerians who introduced me to popular youthful Nigerian music, from P-square, Brasket, MI, D Banj, 2face, to Wizkid. I'm still a little "iffy" about some of the songs I've heard. I'm a big music person & I know what sounds dope. But I still feel the Naija nation of pop style music still needs alot of work, and this Auto tone shit needs to end today. This style of music is toooooo YOUNG to be dealing with auto tone. No offense to Wiz Kid and a couple other artists (JOE EL), but some of ya'll need to just stop singing. If you NEED auto tune to sound good then WTF are you doing in the music business?!

I'm subscribed to LiberalMusicTV on youtube and everyday they post new music videos from new incoming artists. 80% of them are trash. (I'm sorry I had to say it.)
There was one SPECIFIC one I listened to last week called Marllen Ft Rafiya the beat was cool and the message in the song was positive, but the singers were horrid and the video was just THE most confusing crap I've ever seen in my life. Women dressed as Avatars... No DIRECTION AT ALL.
DONT GET ME WRONG... 
I'm not trashing the Nigerian Music Industry at all, because that would just be silly. There are alot of artist doing great work (Nateo C) who have the talent, but I don't want them to be overshadowed by trash. Simple as that.
Get rid of talent-less artist who depend on computerized crap to help them sell records and find real talent. I know a couple in Houston right now who are getting no love.
I'm done with my rant for today.
