THE FABULOUS WORLD OF NIGERIAN MUSIC STARS

THE FABULOUS WORLD OF NIGERIAN MUSIC STARS

A little over a decade ago, Nigerian music stars were loved, appreciated and tolerated in intellectual circles. We all danced to their songs and invited them to our functions and parties. Even though they had huge and monumental hits, most of them lived modest lifestyles. There were no limos, huge mansions and endless conspicuous consumption. Those who could afford cars, did not own glittering wonders on wheel-they had regular cars-often times, pre-owned. Even though women flocked around them, it was often a case borne out of curiosity than deeply felt emotional attachment.
Fast forward to 2011 and the dynamics have changed tremendously. Today’s Nigerian music stars rank among some of the richest in the country –

ya right good to go there tonight @ GARSANO HOTEL at OBASANJO ESTATE OTA......

KNOCK IT OUT ON ONE MIC@ ADO MUSIC

Weighin' in at this corner something dig with smooth skin

We have at the other corner Chris Echols, yea I'm the man

Bring up the referee and let's start with round one

Make sure my glove is tied and I guarantee she's done

Round one, I'ma f*ck around and knock your ass out

Stick a move, me and you, show me what you're about

Taboo on you, I'm stickin' you baby

You better throw it back, or get knocked out miss lady

Get in my sex dream, (my sex dream) show you what's it all about

Get in my sex dream, (what I'ma do) I'm 'bout to knock that booty out

COME ON,NOW COME ON ONE MIC

"One-two.."
"One-two, shots to the chin.. knock you out"
"One-two.." "Devestating!" "On da mic"
"One-two.." "The maker, owner!"
"Come on, now come on"

Got you quiddear and ski-dared, fearin what we might do
And you can give me all mine in cash, that will suffice dude
In the streets deep, we roll through the city
Looks like it's time to eat, so yo who's with me?
Strictly, we keep it in the best perspective
Cause nowadays it's more than simply live and let live
A sedative, that's what these headcases need
Them rats'll get trapped soon as they taste the cheese
Black M. Casey fan, just pay us and scram

ALL I NEED IS ONE MIC

ALL I NEED IS ONE LIFE, ONE TRY, ONE BREATH I'M ONE MAN
WHAT I STAND FOR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND

Or wanna see me on top, too egotistical
Talkin all that slick shit, the same way these bitches do
Wonder what my secrets is, niggaz'll move on you
only if they know, what your weakness is I have none
Too late to grab guns I'm blastin cause I'm a cool nigga
Thought I wouldn't have that ass done? Fooled you niggaz
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin
War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
Complete with thick scars, brothers knifin each other
up in prison yards, drama, where does it start?
You know the block was ill as a youngster
Every night it was like a, cop would get killed body found in the dumpster
