OPEN LETTER TO THEENTERTAINMENTCOMMUNITY IN JOS CITY - Solomon Inusa Nyimlo
By Unknown - Friday, August 05, 2016
For over two decades we (Jos) pride ourselves
as the hub of entertainment in Nigeria and
Africa yet we have little or nothing to show for
it except the names we keep naming saying,
this or that person came out of Jos. Am
honestly sick of this bullshit; we keep holding on
to the past and forgetting to work in the present
to develop and create a future we all desire.
How has it profited us all that a Jesse Jags, MI
Abaga, 2face Idibia, Jeremiah Gyang, Saint Obi,
Ice Prince Zamani, Psquare and others all came
out of Jos? Has it given upcoming musicians a
platform to rise in their game and become
superstars? Why is it that “our Jtown ‘Heros’
have to leave the boundaries of this city before
they come to fame? Isn’t it time to begin to
look inside? Hmmm!
its time we take the
bull by the horns and change our fortune, thus,
the course of entertainment on the plateau. It is
our responsibility, all of us to make it work from
DJ’s, Comedians, Musicians, On Air
Personalities, Promoters, Government, Churches,
Event Managers, Club Owners and etc. It’s time
we each play our parts professionally for the
good of all; else we will continue to stay where
we have always been.
Why am I writing this letter? It’s because am
sick and tired of this so called Jtown nonsense
entertainment industry were we don’t innovate
or create anything new. We just sit down and
wait for someone to begin anything and we just
begin to copy and copy wrongly. Every event
you see is someone trying to out play his
friends or the other group and yet we still do it
worse than they did.
How can we get respect? Why should we get
support? When all that we do is fight, beef, bad
talk each other behind our backs while we
shake hands and pretend we are pals. We
cannot even retweet, BC (broadcast) or share
someone else’s event or applauded their
performance if they are not a part of ‘our crew’!
Shame on us all. That is why we walk the street
of Jos claiming that we the best rapper,
producer, Singer, etc. with our pockets empty,
living in our parents’ house, jumping from one
Keke-Napep to another, sipping cheap wine and
carrying small girls around in the name of “we
are entertainers”
TO MUSICIANS
If there is one major lesson we all have learnt
so far is this “Talent alone is not enough to
make you a success”, I walk around and see a
lot of talented youths in Jos with nothing to
show for it. We allow our gifts to blind us to the
reality of life that we often forget to do what is
expected of us instead, we become proud and
arrogant, constantly in competition with each
other without a prize to be won.
We divide ourselves into groups not with the
aim of harnessing our strengths to uplift our
careers but, with the aim to show off and out
perform others. We block opportunities for
others, hijack shows and events for what
reason? We don’t attend other artists’ shows
unless we are on the roster. Even if we do, we
still won’t pay at the gate cos “we are artistes”!
What a shame!
Why should an artiste collect show money on
behalf of other artistes and keep it?
Why should artistes talk bad about others to get
them off shows?
Why should artistes collect money for their
show and ask others to perform for free?
Many of us artist blame OAPs for not promoting
our music on air well. Why should they? When
most of you artistes are not well informed about
what you do? You cannot be interviewed on air
cos your English is bad and your persona is
terrible and those of you who have had the
opportunity to be represented are so ungrateful
and rude to OAPs. It’s about time we changed.
2015 is upon us friends, it’s time we unite and
be our brother’s keeper only then will the
government and other stake holders respect us
and pay us what is due. If we stand and defend
each other, we will open doors of prosperity
across board for all to enjoy. I besiege us all to
develop ourselves and turn that talent into skills,
let’s see better performances on stage, great
music and love for our brothers or we will
become as said to the great Troy “Your Blessing
goes hand in hand with your curse.”
TO ON AIR PERSONALITIES (OAP’s) AND DJs
Just in case you didn’t notice, when was the
last time jtown was crazy about any show on
radio or TV? Not anymore! Cos you guys have
lost creativity and we are so bored with the
same programing every week without a well
branded local Jtown content. Isn’t it a shame
that our radio playlist is full of music from
Lagos and yankee? Is it that Jtown music is
below standard or what?
I get it maybe you feel that playing #jtownmusic
on your show will make it seem wacked or
better yet make you look or sound wacky.
Therefore to be a part of the happening OAPs,
you have to talk about Phyno, Jay-Z, MI, Wizkid,
etc and play their music but, you can’t talk
about any Jtown artist cos “the station will say
its hype!” Is it not ‘hype’ when you talk about
‘outsiders’? Oh! I get it… its news ko! (Funny)
I remember those days when Jtown OAPs and
DJs were responsible for creating stars such as
MI, Ice Prince, Law Breakers, Jeremiah Gyang,
Grip Boys etc, they walk the streets with pride
and respect knowing what they helped build…
God bless DB MC, Sterry J, Joey Kevin Lar,
Kyenzee Ngupar, Eldee, DJ Sunny Jeff etc these
guys made stars in jtown.
Today the story is different instead of OAPs
and DJs helping jtown artist they are busy
competing with artist for attention and fame.
Note: Guys, your fame comes with the work you
do with artistes! In this New Year I will love to
see OAPs finding ways beyond their company’s
policies to help us build this industry with more
hypes, interviews, celebrity gist and more jtown
music on air plays. It’s time to celebrate our
own Jtown Stars and you can make it happen
for us all. Your reward should be the
satisfaction you get for helping to make a
superstar.
TO RECORD COMPANIES
One thing that we saw in 2014 more in jtown is
the birth of record companies. I was elated with
this development thinking that this thread will
bring some organization to the development of
music in Jos but, I was wrong.
It’s clear that most of these labels you hear
artist repin’ on their songs are just carved out
names for them to feel cool about what they
are doing. It’s almost like a thing of pride to
say “I belong to this crew.” A CREW is what
they really are not RECORD COMPANY!
The few that could almost pass for a label are
not creative, instead of thinking outside the box
and finding ways to sell their artist they are
busy copying each other, mimicking the same
events every month end, award shows,
promotions etc.
It’s time for Jtown to showcase a new set of
record companies who will stick together to
make things work for their artistes and the
whole industry. Let’s see companies
collaborating with each other to do BIG events,
award shows, promotions etc.
As soon as record companies put themselves
together we would begin to see growth and
respect in the industry that would begin to
attract financial supports, endorsement and
sponsorship form government, cooperate bodies
and philanthropists.
TO MEDIA HOUSES
It’s a shame when I see and hear what media
houses are doing to the entertainment industry
in Jos. Man! These guys are killing us! How can
you explain those policies they make preventing
OAP’s form talking about jtown artist and
events? OAPs have to almost kill themselves
seeking permission to interview a local artist!
I heard a radio station in Jos stopped a jtown
music show, for what benefit? OAPs are given
querries, their salaries are cut down because
they talked about a jtown event! Some would
rather make a Chris Brown or P-square top on
their music chat show than a local Jtown artist!
It’s a shame that you are doing this to us your
own people.
When I hear entertainment news on our local
station and it’s about AY Show or Beyonce, then
it’s a slap on our face. What you are telling us
is that we in Jos don’t do anything worth notice.
I know you want to get paid for stuff but, when
it’s like you are victimizing us it calls for
concern. Please note: that when you support us
and help us grow then, we would have the
money to come pay for stuff.
TO THE CHURCH, CLUB OWNERS, COOPERATE
BODIES
It’s amazing that its only in Jos that we have
company’s worth Millions of Naira operating
different business from Bakery,
Communications, Non Profits, Hotels, Clubs,
Banks, House hold products, Oil etc. with none
of them supporting or sponsoring entertainment
in Jos and we still patronize them
I thought that companies are supposed to have
a social responsibility (CSR) to the communities
where they operate? Can someone please tell
me what is the CSR of LG, MTN, AIRTEL, GLO,
THERMOCOOL, BANKS, CHURCHES, GUINNESS,
OASIS BAKERY, DSTV, GRAND CEREAL and the
rest doing to the people of Jos especially the
youths?
I believe that in this 2016, we entertainers will rise
up and ask these corporations to start
supporting us like they do in Lagos, Port, Enugu,
other places. Since our leaders in government
and communities would not demand that these
organization should support the youths, we must
find a way to ask them ourselves.
What am I saying? I want to see our own Jtown
artistes on bill boards as brand ambassadors for
these organization, let’s see them sponsoring
events and award shows in Jos with good
money, if they are not making a lot of it in Jos
they would have packed out since yet, they
keep opening new branches in almost every
street.
Let’s see the churches paying good money to
gospel musicians even if they are members of
the same church. It’s a gift from God to us all
to profit. Some are called to preach, some to
play instruments, some to sing and others
church administration, all to the glory of God.
TO THE GOVERNMENT
It’s amazing how our government are looking for
ways to increase revenue, reduce
unemployment and attract investors to the state
and they are neglecting the entertainment
industry which is the right vehicle to do just
that.
I guess it’s because they see what we do as
some sort of hobby or a game or maybe they
just don’t care about us so, they mock us with a
ministry called “ministry of youth and social
development”/ “Ministry of culture and tourism”
with a 40+ year olds as commissioners who
seat in offices doing what?…
Do you know it’s only in Plateau State that you
will see a “Miss Plateau” or “Miss Culture and
Tourism” entering Keke Napep? They are not
even recognized by the government in fact, for
organizers of this event to get endorsement by
the government they have to pay, which is not
bad but the kind of neglect these queens suffer
is pathetic.
When will we see our government create
opportunities for our artist in Jos to rise out of
poverty? I mean really do something to
subsidize the cost of hosting events for jtown
artistes? When will our government stop bringing
in artistes from Lagos and Abuja for government
event and use our local jtown artistes and pay
them well.
It’s a shame when an artist will be invited from
Lagos and be paid over 2million Naira with flight,
security, hotel bills and a welcome visit to the
governor while our own Jtown artiste who are
‘privileged’ to get on a government event roster
are hardly paid N100, 000
my point is this, if you don’t celebrate us at
home, when will we be called outside Jtown and
be celebrated?
I must commend the “pay your tax campaign”
by government who used our own local artistes
as ambassadors. That’s a start because we can
improve and do better and maybe someday we
will have a Jtown artiste as a Glo or MTN
Ambassador.
IN CONCLUSION
I will like to urge all Jtown people to support us
entertainers in Jos in 2015, there is already a
great support for comedians and Djs in Jos that
is why they are driving better cars and living
better lives than musicians. Let’s see you paying
N100000 and possibly more to musicians to
perform in weddings, birthdays, and church
services.
It’s going to be a great year for entertainment in
Jos but it requires all of us to join our hands
together and respect each other’s skills and
talents and increase appreciation for what we
all do. Only then shall we reap the fruit of our
labor in this industry.
Shalom.

Jay Z or Nas, Tupac or Biggie: Spotify Data Reveals Who Really Won Hip-Hop's Rivalries
By Unknown - Monday, August 01, 2016
According to hip-hop's unwritten honor code, to sit on the throne, it's not enough to make hit records. A true MC has to do it in such a way that makes the rest of the competition look like hacks hustling for nickels and dimes.
Rivalries give rap verses gravity to an extent no other genre knows. Of course, beef can be abused. Some rivalries are fleeting and piecemeal, engineered for publicity rather than them being products of rap's competitive spirit. It's up to fans and blogs to see through the facade and declare true winners out of a handful of singles and disses. One would like to think winners are rewarded with dedicated audiences, but that's not always the case.
Teaming up with Spotify, we've unpacked that question, sifting through the platform's databases to see which rappers have been able to turn lyrical victories into an actual audience. We've looked at the some of the most direct and savage rivalries of all time — like Tupac v. Biggie, Jay Z v. Nas — and some rivalries that are more friendly competition than beef, like Talib Kweli and Mos Def's vying for the conscious crown. Every percentage represents the share of combined total streams each artist has earned since Spotify's launch. Check out the breakdown:
Jay Z v. Nas
The music that came out of the Jay v. Nas beef gave the culture entirely new vocabulary to talk about rivalries. After Nas ran a lyrical clinic around Jay Z on "Ether," its song title became a verb. Every MC who mercilessly tears into another on a diss track now "ethers" them. Yet, Jay's "Takeover" line — "That's a one-hot-album-every-10-year average" — may have been more prophetic than he realized.
Future v. Desiigner
Biting was one of the initial offenses that set Jay and Nas against one another back in the late '90s, and biting is at the heart of the current feud between Future and Desiigner. When the 19-year-old Desiigner first earned a major audience with his feature on Kanye West's "Father Part My Hands, Part 1," many actually mistook him for Future. The two have since gone back and forth, shading each other hard in performances and interviews. Future still holds the majority of Spotify listeners. Yet the fact that Desiigner has even been able to pull in 15% with basically one song and one mixtape ("Timmy Turner" had not dropped before Spotify pulled its data) is a sign he may give Future a run for his money yet.
Drake v. Meek Mill
Drake has had a lot of artists come for his throne as of late. Last year, it was Meek Mill, who called Drake out for ghostwriting in short but vehement tweetstorm, and proceeded to watch himself get torn apart with song after song from the Drizzy camp. Meek still hasn't recovered.
Drake v. Joe Budden
More recently, Joe Budden has been nipping at Drake's heels. Budden's beef with Drake surrounds a series of subliminal disses that the podcaster and rapper felt Drake had thrown his way on tracks like "4pm In Calabasas." The savage split in audience shouldn't bother Budden too much, though; he claimed in a Thursday interview that he "don't care about none of that fame, success, attention, none of that." That's good.
Notorious B.I.G. v. Tupac
Both rappers consistently summit many fans' and artists' top five dead-or-alive lists, but it seems Tupac keeps more listeners coming back for more. He also cut more than three times the number of albums that Notorious B.I.G. dropped in his lifetime, which could also explain the spread. It's interesting since one of Mic and Spotify's similar data pulls revealed Notorious B.I.G. command the biggest share of total listeners. That seems to suggest Tupac has the a more devoted fan base that keep coming back for more, but Biggie's song appeal to a much wider range of listeners.
Rick Ross v. 50 Cent
This is the beef that never ends. It's nearing a decade old this year, and both rappers are still evaluating it in interviews. "At this point, my relationship with Curtis is really amusing, due to the fact that I'm the biggest L he ever took," Rick Ross said in a January interview. The numbers tell a different story.
Lil Kim v. Eve
Lil Kim has built an empire out of her various beefs. Some of them were more successful than others. Her feud with Eve was one of the more silent ones. It didn't make it onto any huge records, but, according to Eve, the two artists were not on speaking terms for years. They eventually made up, but through it all it looks Eve was able to maintain more momentum out the scrap.
Lil Kim v. Nicki Minaj
There was probably a brief moment where Lil Kim thought that beefing with the next boss female rapper would help revitalize her career, even though Kim insisted Nicki Minaj started it. That moment passed quick. For better or for worse, hip-hop has a new queen.
Talib Kweli v. Mos Def
Talib Kweli and Mos Def were never exactly in direct rivalry with one another. They were actually once a team, the two halves of Black Star, but they couldn't keep their partnership going for more than one album. Both have had extremely prolific solo careers, but the Mighty Mos has remained the one commanding the bigger fan base, despite not dropping a project since 2009's The Ecstatic.
Ok so yesterday, I took my pretty self to the cinemas at 8:30pm to see Kunle Afolayan‘s “The C.E.O”. I can think of a million other things I could have been doing at 8:30pm but it’s Kunle Afolayan so I’m thinking, yeah, this should be worth it. Mind you, I paid full weekend price, popcorn, the works. I like being completely armed so if I don’t enjoy a movie, it’s the movie’s fault. No excuses.
Now, let’s begin with the pros, you know, because positive vibes. The picture quality was good and there were a lot of scenic shots. They made great use of the beautiful ocean scenery and natural light. Loved it. The set, of course, was great (I should have led with this.) Most of the movie was shot in Inagbe beach resort, a really great spot on the outskirts of Lagos. There were a few scenes outside Nigeria as well. The entire production was great; location, casting, et all.
Something else I found really impressive was the dialogue. Tade Ogidan did an excellent job there. I’m always particularly interested in phrasing and diction, and I was not disappointed at all. There were little or no signs of struggle in the back and forth. It’s important to pay attention to all the nitty-gritty of a screenplay, which is something Nollywood movies have shown to lack, so I really appreciate Afolayan’s effort in keeping it clean.
It doesn’t end there. I’d have to give props to the team on appropriate casting. Wale Ojo is always a good choice. The man is just a delight to watch and whatever fitness regime he’s been on is paying off nicely cos that body looking really good. He gave us that sexy sugar pappy vibe playing Kola Alabi. Give me a sugar daddy with ambition and heart any day. Also make sure that bank account fat cos what’s the point if not, right? But, I drift.
Though I was just introduced to a few of the other actors, they showed professionalism and such a wealth of experience that was a delightful relief. Many times, when Nollywood decides to cast non-Nigerian characters they pick the first one they find and call it a day. The result is always a ludicrous mess but it’s good to see the effort put into bringing the best performances.
Still on the casting, I think the most impressive performance, in my opinion, was Nico Panagio as Riikard Van Outen. No, not just because he’s one sexy slice of vanilla; he’s also a great actor. Facial expression for days, body language for years, the man set out to, as they say, killummmm. I, and my ovaries, were mighty impressed. Fatym Layachi and Aurelia Eliam both brought their A-game as well. Oh, and Angelique Kidjo. With charisma like that, it’s hard to find any faults with the music veteran’s performance. Ugh and all that sexy french. Mon dieu!
If I’ve learned anything from Kunle Afolayan, it’ll be the fabulous delight that is a multi-lingual movie. They don’t say variety is the spice of life for nothing, you know.
It’s important to note the classy way product placements were inserted during the film. Driving a Peugeot in the opening scene (Peugeot is one of the official sponsors), flying with Air France (also an official sponsor), nice touch. Even premiering the movie first on an Air France flight was also a sweet move. I love where Nollywood is going business-wise. It’s important that brands take advantage of the movie audience by partnering with movie producers for in-film product placements. Who knows just how many people would patronize Peugeot or fly Air France after “The C.E.O” goes mainstream. *shrugs*
I enjoyed watching “The C.E.O”. For a largely conversation based film, it was surprisingly entertaining. I’d never have thought Nollywood could pull it off. When Hilda Dokubo (who played the police inspector) said, “Seat your nyash down”, I felt myself sink in slightly deeper into my seat. Oh and the sex scene between Kola and Eloise (played by Aurelia Eliam), whoot whoo! He threw those legs in the air! The angle of the shot was good; conservative enough for Nigerian society *insert extreme eye roll*, yet passing the message across. And it was a rather *cough cough* interesting message. I’d give enormous props for believable performances. When great casting, a nice tinge of panache and topnotch cinematography come to play, what a fantastic soiree that could make! But, I hate to say, the movie did lack a certain je ne sais quio. I say that but what I really mean is this; it had a rather disappointing ending.
Kunle Afolayan has shown to have a thing for the darker side of life. You know it’s Kunle when there’s an unexplained murder and a plot twist waiting to happen. Before now, he has managed to clean up nicely, tie all the knots and give us a befitting denouement. Which is why it’s rather surprising that in what was intended to be a career defining moment, we were handed such a weak cessation. I’m always very critical of murder thrillers. To me, if you’re going to kill people, make damn sure you tell us why. If the motive is not convincing enough, it could mess up the entire story. Many guilty people have walked away unpunished because the prosecutor could not whip up a convincing motive. No one wants a murder without a proper, “why”.
It’s difficult to accept that two top company officials were murdered in a C.E.O hunting programme and the course was not discontinued. Ok fine let’s say that happened, at least give us a solid reason behind the murders, not just some feeble tale. Hey, I love an ambitious Chinese business man tale as much as the next guy and I can sincerely see what they tried to do there, but this is what makes a bad film; struggle. If the story does not flow, dead it. Rather a simple clean story than some complicated mess.
Remember when I talked about believable performances? Well, not entirely. Kemi Lala Akindoju is a great actor in her own right. But her performance as Lisa, the mole and murderer, didn’t quite do it for me. Never seen a person wield a knife so comically. I literally laughed out loud at the hand-to-hand tussle between herself and Kola towards the end. Looked like a joke, really. Ah mean, but a wah di rass! ef you’ve deliberately killed two bloodclaat smadi, yuh should know ou to wield a knife. Gwey!
Okay, happy thoughts and positive vibes. It really was a good film. Just wish it cleaned up better. But hey, I could give it a second watch and see how that works out.
I’d give “The C.E.O”, based on an initial accessment, an E for Effort, a C for (great) Casting, another C for (great) Cinematography…
You know, somewhere down this little singsong, I intended to count down to the last T, spelling E.C.C.E.L.E.N.T but life happens. If you haven’t seen “The C.E.O” you should head down to the cinema and do that. And if you’re going to get a DVD, please do buy a certified copy.
