I HAVE GIVEN UP ON PSQUARE Till date I have been unable to watch Psquares Ejeajo music video from begining to end for no other reason than the fact that i find that video/ song utterly disgraceful. Most devoted/diehard Psquare fans feel the same way too, but many will not say a word; some keep on replaying Ejeajo, hoping the song will eventually grow on them...its not happening. Psquare has released its first major flop and the inclusion of American rapper T.I will not save them this time around. The Ejeajo song sounded below average, ordinary, nothing catchy, no rhythm and to sum it all up, totally tasteless. It seems as though the sole purpose of this song was just to feature T.I and break into the American market. I can bet my very last kobo that any American (Black) whos opportuned to watch Ejeajo video will laugh off his seat saying, Who are these African booty scratchers trying too hard to sound like us and dance better than Usher? I felt the same way watching Peter Okoye putting in so much gra gra into his dance moves. But on a serious note, about Nigerian artistes wanting to break into the American market; do these Nigerian artistes think that the Jay Zs, P Diddys and Dr Dres will sit back and watch Nigerian music break into US Hip hop market? Especially in an America where music and sports are the few things black Americans can really hold on to. So they (Black American artistes) will allow some black African musician to come in and steal their domestic market share? Nigerian music is already big in many African countries like Kenya,Zambia,Ghana and even South Africa. Do we think indigenous artistes and music promoters in these African countries are happy with Nigerians dominating their respective music scenes? Why will Black Americans not stay proactive and stop Nigerian music from gaining foothold in their market? Now heres the truth,someone should tell Psquare that its time to go back to the drawing board and re-invent themselves. I dont know the duos football age but im guessing they are in their mid thirties. When dancing musicians start growing older or maturing, they concentrate more on the quality of their music, where more matured dance steps are incorporated. Matured dance steps here simply means slow but sleeker dance moves, just like USHER in GOOD KISSER. And definitely not the gra gra Peter Okoye was showcasing in Ejeajo, epecially to a lousy song. I think its time the Okoye twins take a break from music for some time; perhaps they can go concentrate on their respective marriages or try to mentor younger musicians with the ability to sing and dance. After a few years, Psquare can return with a new style and sound. For now,Psquare has lost it and i hope their closest fans and admirers tell them this truth before its too late.
