Tuface
ReplyDeleteYou are reminding me of Burnaboy. That boy doesn't sound mature most times.
DeleteTUFACE
DeleteTuface used his humility to teach others how fo fly,cheated, duped and left with an old used escalde yet dude remaind friends with them but went hos separate way and made it. Nxt was Wizkid
Delete2 baba opened the doors for others to walk in peacefully. 2face put Africa map to the world. I respect him so much.
DeleteTuface
DeleteThis matter started because of Oluwaburna(correct OG).
ReplyDeleteI'll say, they all hustled their way to the top, if they all they their stories, you'll understand that they weren't lazying around, they worked hard to get to where they are today.
*tell their stories
DeleteI think Tubaba, Dbanj and Psquare did a lot of work for other African artists to fly
ReplyDeleteI mean no disrespect but some of the people on that list have no business being there.
ReplyDeleteSame thing I said to myself ! Thank you
DeleteI swear. Like Burna. Burna is currently flying cos of the work some OGs did.
DeleteFemi is only there becus of gis father.
DeleteOlamide isnt meant to be there.
Peter okoye shouldnt be there.
@ Nicole,exactly my thought when I saw this list,except for Femi Kuti,even Femi Kuti self na side eye I dey look am.
Delete👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
DeleteTuface and Psquare
ReplyDeleteKing Rudy.
ReplyDeleteTuface.
Wizkid.... these are musicians
Burna has Felas manual on his palm, and hes following it step by step.
Davido has people writing songs for him.
I’ll say dbanj and Psquare!! They made my teen years rock , all their hit songs are still relevant till date! Especially bangalee, till date when I hear tongolo I still bend down Nd twerk up a storm lol .... burna boy with d arrogance tho ... I still think mans overrated 🙄
ReplyDeleteOverly overrated..
DeleteFor me is the remedies (Tetula, Idris, Eddy). Tony Tetula even feature 2 face. I remembered him bringing the plantation boys on stage when he won awards.
DeleteNone. All these names up there signed those masonic contracts
ReplyDeleteNa you give them biro abi
DeleteMacbeth.. Hahahahaha, I literally laughed out loud.
DeleteNone. All these names up there signed those masonic contracts apart from Tuface possibly. So he may be the one.
ReplyDeleteNobody paved way for anyone. They all worked hard to get to where they are now.
ReplyDeleteI choose to remember the forgotten ones, Evi Edna Ogholi, Sunny Okosun, Majek Fashek, Bright Chimezie,Blackie,Veno Moriogha,shina Peters, Sunny Ade,Mike Okri,Alex Uwaifo,Mike Okri,Junior and pretty,Alex Zito,Oliver De coque,Onyeka Onwenu,Oritz Wiliki,Ras Kimono,Sunny Ade, Ebenizer Obey, Kris Okotie etc. You can add your list if you like.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 13:15, you head dey here! I am so with you on this one. I'm sure we grew up in the same generation.
DeleteWhat of Rex Lawson and that other guy that sang soko soko, in Port Harcourt??
DeleteKris Okotie tries those days oh.
DeleteI remember Edna Evi Ogholi
Fela Kuti..not on the list but invented his own genre of music. Foreigners revere him
ReplyDeleteWilliam Onyeabor, the father of Afro funk and then King Sunny Ade..Not many people know that KSA turned down the offer to "crossover" in the seventies. He went to Hollywood, did a cameo and then a soundtrack to a Hollywood movie, but he didn't want to becoming "An American".
Back to this list, the closest is Femi Kuti ( by association to Fela) or Tuface Idibia ( when African Queen was used as part of the soundtrack to Phatgirls movie), but we still don't have an Alister, as big as Fela was, or even Black Coffee who has a residency in Las Vegas.
Apt!
DeleteYes!
DeleteFela/Femi kuti! Paved way for afro music to be recognized in the world that internationals still visit his shrine till date
ReplyDeleteTubaba!
ReplyDeleteDbanj and also Psquare
ReplyDeleteTony tetuila, eedris abdulkareem, sound sultan should be on this list, even nice
ReplyDeleteAbami Eda, omo Anikulapo Kuti. himself. Egypt '70
ReplyDeleteIdris abdulkareem.
ReplyDeleteTuface!
ReplyDeleteIn recent times, I would say Dbanj and Wizkid at least in the UK, which I believe was the place Afro garnered more grounds after it took over the club scenes by surprise, fazing out the grime, skank, dot step and bashment. It was the acceptance in the U.K. that spiralled into the US and European countries. No disrespect to Oga Kuti and Tu baba, because these two are legends.
ReplyDeleteAJ ( ID coming soon)
Phase out which grime?
DeleteGrime, pidgin, patwa.. same group.. a lingo..
You get?? It can’t be phased out..
How many artists in the UK are doing grime these days. Those in the mainstream are all doing wavey songs. Hope u don't refer to Krept and Konan, Ambush, Hardy Caprio and the likes as grime arts. Big up Abracadbra and Bugzy Malone who are still trying to keep the grime alive, but their rhythms are not as popular as the wavey songs that get played by djs.
DeleteSince the world boss got incarcerated, the rhythms from the Carribean have being trying to survive. Mainstream Arts in the UK are all trying to get that Afro lingo, because its wavey on a max.

Dbanj
These folks cracked the ceilings for these ones up there to smash
If you have an ear for music..you would find a melody or two from these icons in most sounds today..
It depends on who you ask and when they were born. If you ask those in their 40s upwards, I don't think number 2-8 will come to their mind
ReplyDeleteFor me too,. This Burna Boy or girl is overrated, I don't like anything he sings and he is way too arrogant, he's got nothing to offer, his fall will be epic, human being wey excessive use of drugs no de let am open him mouth to sing and be audible... mtcheww
ReplyDeleteD bankj and square all the way
ReplyDeleteI would say Dbanj. He fell out with Don Jazzy because he wanted afro beats to go global.
ReplyDeleteHe made Kanye,Jay Z take notice and others
Oliver twist ruled the charts back then,unfortunately it didn't work out for him as he would have liked but other artists r reaping the benefits
2face
ReplyDeleteA lot of the international recognition these new generation artists are enjoying now started with Tuface.All the BET,MTV,MOBO etc.Burna boys ignorance and arrogance surprised me.Someone that has been singing since 2012 and God eventually gave him last year to shine.He disappointed me and a lot of his fans I’m sure.How can he say he’s the best after Fela??what kind weed or crack is he smoking?money really changes people sha
ReplyDeleteWizkid
ReplyDeleteTuface
ReplyDeleteDavido"s Fall and If still everywhere in d States. Check the guys figures. Figures dnt lie. Just that for some reason people like to disrespect him. They say he doesn't wrote his songs. So? Is it cos others lie? Even in US songwriters are legit. Abeg
ReplyDeleteBurna boy rexlly needs some doses of humility. He is way too arrogant. Someone should let him know it soesnt take anything away from bim to ackowledgw others efforys
ReplyDeleteFela Kuti. End of.
ReplyDeleteTuface all the way. He is the game changer!!! He revolutionalized the music scene. Second is Baba Fryo he brought Ajegunle ghetto music to lime light. Kudos also to Dbanj. He is an influencer too. Iyanya is another influencer.
ReplyDeleteRemedies, Plantashun boiz
