I have and it's still bland.

Ikengawo: Let's stop celebrating mediocricy.
The song was trash, has no point and is not memorable or noteworthy
the video is only shot with a standard 2012 HD camera, that doesn't make it quality, there are youtube videos with the same resolution so don't be wow'd by shininess. Look at the details. The woman 'smashes' the TV but they use a cheap CGI 'glass break' effect because they couldn't afford to smash an actual TV.
the woman 'smashes' the car window and it's the same thing. Mind you it's all completely pointless so you can't say the video was 'quality' there was nothing special about it.

The only reason I would say any of these things is because im worried at the level of 'america wanna-be' the nigerian music and movie industry is taking. We were able to be #1 in africa because for the first time we were showing the world africa. I don't think there has been a video shot in africa this year and the enthuasiasm for the music and movies are dying because instead of being africa we've become the cheap version of America. Sad thing is now we appeal neither to americans or nigerians. I hope this is just a foolish trend. These artists are getting arrogant and thinking anything they put out is gold. If you look at this years biggest hits

they still sounded very african, looked african, and used africans as the stars of the video.
This is a disappointment.

donwilz: You are deviating from the main issue here... Is this song good enough for you? if yes, it's your opinion... good for you... but i'm entitled to mine... don't forget that...most of Nigerian musicians release crap... this song too. don't be immature by talking about achievements.. think with your head... if you are sure u got one...

adelaja70:
Pls borrow me your medical head...Olodo Oshi! If its crap why u dey comment?! Abi na only this thread dey Nland?

abiL:
Stop trying to change MY opinion. The music ain't that good. I don't like it.
You might like it, but I don't.

You don't expect everyone to like the same thing that you like.
&& don't expect me to like every music that d'banj makes.

It's like tonto dikeh's song, even though the song is clearly shît, some people still like it.

If the song was good, I won't have any issue saying it is.
The concept of the video is sick. That's it!

donwilz: you actually sound like a street urchin with a trace amount of iQ.. I will surely not indulge you again... have a nice day

coogar:

abiL, how dare you compare this to tonto dikeh....
comot for here - jor!

adelaja70:
Nne,oya go and breastfeed your crying baby...we don note your point.

abiL:


Which kid? I'm not like you agbayas wasting your life away on a forum. Grow up and act your age, not your dîck size!

abiL:
The fück?!
I'm not. I'm just using it as an example.

If you have an issue with understanding what I wrote in that post, let me know and I'll simplify it

naturalwaves:

Do you mean the same nonsense that has won him the best of all the awards in Africa? If that is your definition of nonsense then other Artistes should start singing nonsense too.

WS. Smith:
Music no get tribe or language - a good music is pleasant to the ear and soothes the soul, a bad music hurts the ear and confuses the soul.
Listen to Ebenezer Obey, Rolling Dollar, Osita Osadebe, Oliver de cooque, King Sunny Ade, Christy Essien Igbokwe, Onyeka Onwenu ... these people didnt try to ride on tribal sentiment, they simply sang good songs. If your music is good, it overcomes petty minded tribalists and sails into every soul freely.
Lets not capiltalize on tribalism to support poor creativity and lack of skill. The first time I heard Dbanj I said this guy got no musical talent and its showing itself. The first time I heard Wande Coal, I said this guy got extra musical talent and it shows itself. Banky W, Dare art alade, IK dairo are musicains naturally, Wizkid got a unique voice pitch and style that stands out, Flavor has a raw/deeply local igbo high life style, listen to lyrical justice by Dagreen and tell me how he sweeps off beyond tribal sentiment even better than english and pidgin english rappers in the likes of Naeto C. Yes Dagreen is lyrically comparable only to MI. You see the akpako master or duncan mighty or timaya doing their thing with uniqueness. Dbanj tapped into the rise of our local (school table) beat discovered by Donjazzy and thrived on it but personally he is just a loud entertainer probably better as a ceremonial jester. Dude is not a musician.

montelik: The song is okay. Personally for me, its better than Oyato which was destroyed by Bankuli voice on the chorus . Its true that fans seem to have become a lot more critical of D'banj overnight, and it seems to have coincided with his divorce from Mo Hits. But I believe these reactions aren't just to do with that. When D'Banj first went on his initial "Kanye signed me", "I with Good music" press promo tour, whether he intended to or not, he raised the bar of what most expected from him. I certainly thought that we would now see growth from him, experimentation and a sound with greater detail and quality. Most fans naturally expected him to step up his game. By the time split happened and he was now talking Def Jam Africa, International artist, World domination. It was set in stone that expectation for him had risen whether or not he asked for it. He could no longer give the same product and not expect blowback or indifference. People now expect see visible improvement and when they don't see it, they won't lower their expectations, they will instead voice criticisms. When 2face walked away from Platashun Boyz, the expectations bars was raised for him too. He scaled it and fans responded. D'Banj so far has yet to meet the expectations he raised with his own mouth, going by the reaction of most fans.

Now its quite clear that it is too early for many to be declaring him in trouble, after all he hasn't even released an album and Oliver Twist was unexpected monster hit, but its also silly to dismiss some of the criticisms as "hating", tribalism, "Jazzy fanbois" e.t.c. My money is D'Banj eventually getting it right,T but only if he isn't listening to just the sycophants around him, but the realists too.
