The song was exceptional as well. It is obvious these guys knows their stuff.
Makes a change from the usual, Artist singing in Festac Town (My beloved Festac Town, which is where a lot of videos are shot) with people, including children standing behind the Artist and the Artist/people are just there standing/running around!  A certain.. 'yes oo,' guy comes to mind! But he's certainly not the only one.
Worst video: Any with similar discription as above. With the Artist singing reggae with fake Patoi, wearing Jamaican colour wrist bands, pretending to be a Jamaican.
Why oh why do some of our Artist do this?  Do they not realise most Jamaicans make fun of these antics? *hisses* So embarassing! |
I could kiss you for that comment! You are so right! It always grates me off when I see our artist especially those who haven't set foot outside the country try so hard to act American or Jamaican and yes their Patoi sucks big time. Only the other day, I was watching the Mr. Nigeria contest on BEN and African china came on and this guy was trying to speak Patoi. My oh my, did he embarass me or what! And you know there were bound to be Jamaican in the audience who would have been laughing their heads off!
Anyhoo, my favourite Naija video as Tiron said up there is the guys that sang Oloko Mbo or something like that. It was original. Very African and at the same time contemporary. Another one is Dbanj's "Why me" and Eldee's 'Champion'. There are a few more but i'll stick to those for now.
