I am not going
to argue much concerning what you said about the mixing error in this song but
I would tell you this, depending on the device you are using to hear the song,
some of the production or mixing error that you mentioned might not be noticed even
I, had to listen to this song with four different headset to get your point.
Also how many Nigerians notice all this things you said about the mixing being bad I would virtually say nobody because most people don't even know what mixing
a song is.
Now to the part
where you once again spoke like somebody that hasn't written any song in his
life. You said “Titling your song,
“Somebody Great”, and blabbing all through the song about “Somebody wey dey
spray millions and somebody wey go save billions” is that what defines
greatness? Spraying of millions? I go ask again bros Etcetera na only one
line you dey always hear for songs?
A song that started with
I am no longer a child,
Bear bear don
show,
Junior don grow
oh oh na na na
I am so happy
for my life
E yin Oluwa logo
oh oh
Ferowi don go oh
oh na na na
Brother if I don
dress dey go
If you sabi me
beforeAs we dey sing kakiri eko
Them tell me story story oh
But now I thank God for saving me
Thank God for loving me
Me I thank God for taking me.
If you had taken your time to analyse this song very well, you wouldn’t have problem relating to the story Korede was painting, you no go even open your mouth dey talk say the song na shit. So what if he says been great is about counting millions and saving billions, shey e dey pain you say you don't have millions and can’t save billions? Abi bros you don see person way great way no get money? Perhaps this is Nigeria where your level of greatness and importance is measured base on your wealth. If you can mention one great person that didn't have money, I would openly apologies to you.
It is a shame that you said “Yes, this song is literally shit that you can hear. It is the worst song from Asa that I have had the displeasure of listening” because that just makes you sound so confusing. You said “it the worst song from Asa” Oga no be Asa get song now, she was just featured. Plus once again you didn't even evaluate Asa's part in this song you were only criticizing her for her involvement.
Finally To The
Part Of Asa Collabos Getting Dumber By
The Day
One thing I know for sure is the fact that Asa hasn’t featured much on songs in Nigeria, as a matter of fact if memory serves me right she has only sang with the following artiste Jeremiah Gyang, Naeto c, 9ice, Darey Korede Bello (I stand to be corrected in case there are more) and looking all the songs she did with this people, I think only you would argue that her collaborations doesn’t make sense. Starting from 9ice Pete Pete, that song was a monster song which spoke about Nigeria politicians and their promise and fail election promises, the song with Jeremiah was a classic song, same with that of Darey. For you to say “her collaboration is getting dumber by the day” then she must be doing much collaboration but that is not the case. The collaboration with Natoe C that you are criticizing was done close to four years ago, before that she had featured on 9ice and Gyang songs and that was 2 years before featuring on Natoe song. So my question is this “what exactly do you mean when you said by the day? To me by the day could either mean that, the more collaboration she does the more she begin to sound dumber or everyday/time that she does any collaboration she is sounding dumber. To prove that you really have no point with this part of your article, let us just take a look at the songs she has collaborated on so far and see the space between the one you criticize to see if truly she is getting dumber by the day or you are the one actually getting dumber
Jeremiah Gyang ft Asa
Comforter Song 2009
9ice ft Asa Pete Pete
2009
Natoe C ft Asa Share My
Blessing 2011
Korede Bello ft Asa
Somebody Great September 2015
Darey ft Asa Inside Of
You October 2015
Now you didn’t say
anything about the Gyang and 9ice's song, so I am safe to assume that you are
okay with those songs. After Somebody Great, the next song Asa featured on is
Darey's song and you didn’t say anything about that too, once again I assume you
don’t have issues with that. Now you have issues with Share My Blessing a song
she was on four years ago and also Somebody Great a song she was on some months
back. Now going by your words “dumber by the day” it is totally out of place to
say someone song is getter dumber by the day if the songs you are using to
compare have a whopping four years interval within them. it would have been
okay if Asa hasn’t featured on another song apart somebody Great, then this
your dumber by the day would have made sense since you would be comparing her
two latest songs but instead you picked two out of the last three she was one
and started to criticize it for no reason.
Your article said to be continued, so I would also say to be continued and wait for the final piece of the article before I give you my final verdict on your article but from a small writer to an experience writer like you, research and facts are important when criticizing something or someone’s work.
