In an interview with
Sunnewsonline
where he shared his opinion on the current state of the Nigerian music
industry, Reggae legend Ras Kimono said the current Nigerian music
artistes are
doing worse than Majek Fashek. According to him, there is nothing to
celebrate in an artiste who releases just a single and declares himself a
superstar. He says back in his days, they produced 12-tracked albums
for their listeners who would then determine how many of the songs in
the albums were hit songs. He says things have changed.
He also said most of the hip-hop stars today smoke and
drink to stupor because they think that it is a way of being inspired.
He warned that they should be careful about indulging in such as the
Nigerian
music industry gives an
artiste only one chance and that once an African artiste falls, he is
dead and buried. Find excerpts from the very interesting interview after
