There was a time when our musicians were our voices... They were freedom fighters.. Fela sang to speak up against corruption.. Majek Fashek sang "free Mandela".. Sunny Okosun sang "Give power to my people".. Marian Makeba exposed to the world what whites were doing to blacks in South Africa when she sang "khawuleza".. But what do we see/hear today?.... Empty music without message.. Music of a lost generation.. Azonto today, Colomental 2moro.. Empty musicians who have nothing to offer their people.. What will they be remembered for? Azonto, Colomental.. They will be remembered for the nice clothes they wore? For the nice cars they drive?.. They will fade away like the dust.. Because they have left nothing behind.. Empty music, empty message in a lost generation.. All I see and hear is Empty, Empty, Empty.. Empty vessels making the most noise.. Shame on them for their empty music.. Shame on us for clapping for them..
