NBC: Trying to Stay Relevant? (Part 2)

Still on the matter, I decided to check up the meaning of 'lewd' and I discovered it means "crude and offensive in a sexual way." As it seems, I am a huge supporter of the regulative arm of NBC but I have not been a huge fan of their actions; not impressive to me. They are trying so hard to be noticed to me.

This I must say that 85% of Nigerians *children inclusive* listen to hiphops for (a) the beat (b) the artiste (c) the lyrics. This is what I mean, Nigerian hiphop music hasn't been all that bad with beats, all thanks to Masterkraft and many others. Most Nigerian musicians try to stay relevant in the music industry and in the hearts of their fans as they become propelled to release a single/album. This we also know that the likes of Time ya thrives on the beat and not the content as illustrated in his single Ukwu. More so, countless Nigerian hiphop listeners don't strive for the lyrics but the beat. All they need is something to shake their bodies to and songs like 'Sekem', 'Shoki' and much more, wowed Nigerians in that area. Another set of Nigerian hiphop listeners are the loyal fans who would continue to listen to 'Tu Face' or 'Tiwa Savage' or any other artiste even if he/she rant throughout the next album. There are some who actually enjoy the lyrics as you'd see them rapping with beaming smiles *guys especially*.

In 2011, 2Shotz's 'Super Man Dead' was banned for the use of the world 'Alomo' - NBC had better begin to ban paraga sellers 'cos what little child these days doesn't know 'Alomo' and seriously, what's even lewd about that? #Read Part 3!
