Plumbline - My Life (Remix)

2009-03-14T04:50:00.000-07:00

Originally performed by The Game and Lil Wayne,Nigeria's finest Plumbline takes the beat and Chorus done by Lil Wayne to do a remake The Game would be jealous of.
Plumbline gave out the lyrics to this song before it was actually recorded and even Nigerian Radio Icon,Hnic Doc Gee looked forward to playing the song after he delivered the lyrics as a facebook note.Sampling Lil Wayne's vocal for the chorus and classic voice samples,Plumbline expertly reverses the sorrow of the original song by The Game to painting the pitiable political scenery in the Nigeria and even mentions the pirates (music).

The drama that took place after the chorus came in the second time is what you should look forwad to in the song,It just leaves you with a sarcastic smile.With lyrics like 'They asking why, why Funsho Williams was killed like Chicken,
Why the political class seem to feed off rigging' you would ...,check it out for yourself.Simply brillaintly delivered and conscious music

I'd talk about it at my Dirtyhiphop head Blog).
"Green white polls is a public opinion polling agency in Nigeria that consistently researches on what Nigerians think and feel on various issues as it affects the body polity, thereby providing statistics as a tool for socio economic growth" Quoting what they have on the GreenWhitePolls' Homepage.GreenWhitePolls provides a web solution; A continuous social research by consistent public opinion polling.

Nairalist - Nigeria's Craiglist

2009-02-27T08:02:00.000-08:00

Nairaland is the most active bulletin board owned by a Nigerian and would be the largest community of Nigerian online after facebook,envied by every other forum, bulletin board and even social networking online platforms but the reputation with it's user was or is still rubbished (here's a confession - I've recently visited the site just to post notice with my younger brother's account).
From the owner of Nairaland is Nairalist,It was something I had in mind last year and on deciding to make use of the Noah Classified application,I discovered I couldn't incorporate the google adsense code and in addition to other reasons,I shut out the pursuit for my own classified and shebang!,I log on to Nairaland some time back and Nairalist was all over it's page in addition and like always type it into the google search engine and wallow! it's not a shush shush operation being taken care of by Seun Osewa (The owner of both Nairaland and Nairalist - you wonder what it is with him and the word naira).Nairalist a classified that caters for the 37 states in Nigeria,it's complete and just the perfect site for individuals like me who hate the long process of registraion.It has the craiglist concept but simpler requiring you only to put in four words to confirm it's being posted by a human.

To post a new ad - Log on to Nairalist,then chosse your state and below the page is the option to post your ad from jobs,services,dating,housing to vehicles and even spots for oversea visitors.It's growing tremendous and the last word is be careful of scam that come with Classifieds

Check Nairalist and Let me know what you think

Poetic Seraph - Forbidden Memories

2009-02-19T02:44:00.000-08:00

Authored by Poetic Seraph,She takes an unconventional approach to helping us find the revolutionary inside.Forbidden memories is a collection of forty of her poems.I opted to review this book in two bits as dictated by the 30 seconds review concept of keeping it concise as possible though there's so much to be said from reading forbidden memories.I got an exclusive copy in .doc format and on opening it,the title popped out first then something that reminded me of Robert Mugabe and it was a picture of a child soldier from Congo.sliding down to see the table of content got the following titles exciting me:Inmate 794675,No man is worth a woman's tears,One ... Two ... Three ... Four... and When the past catches up with you.

Here I would attempt to look at the first twenty poems.No man is worth a woman's tears starts this collection bringing to bare the humiliation the female gender either as a kid,struggling mother or have to be mutilated as a girl.Next let's you in,into the darkness and timelessness of her mind and drift to remind you of George Bush and the middle east war with 'soldiers match',They saw through heaven,Footsteps in the mud and a poem that ends with wondering if she had to do with a convict she calls 'A beast among the animals in this struggle for life' in 'Inmate 794675'.she rhymes with '-ize' on 'The rebirth' then she moves on to see the evil in 'Nightlife' after we count down one,two,three and four,she tells a 'Once upon a time' story where you wish it was under the moon light.right from the title 'beginning of th start' she prepares you for another rebirth.Refugees,The soil on this earth,The soil on this earth - revised,When the past catches up with you and my last stop-Shadows,shadows is a poem,Poetic Seraph makes you see how being 'Touched by heaven,Raised by hell' could make 'Your eyes focus on this world While your soul Blows the devil a kiss'.Brilliant chose of words and consequent deep phrases.Advocacy,the very elements that made poetry count.It's worth every penny you would spend on getting 'Forbidden Memories by Poetic Seraph'.

I leave you with her opening quote:' Forbidden Memories' is a personal revolution. Hopefully you'll find back that revolutionary inside yourself too. And maybe - just maybe - then we can start to make a change.'

Iyanya - Love Truly

2009-02-18T00:28:00.000-08:00

Iyanya is the project fame academy winner and just released singles off an album he's working on-one of which is love truly.Here's a 30 seconds review.The bass takes over after the finger snapping and paino rides the song from the start for like five seconds then the bass and snares kicks in .The bass takes over after he gets his vocals on it for a while with lyrics like 'setting as the sun...' well this happens (bass lingers along for a few seconds) after he sings the chorus and there's a beat breaks just after he inputs 'they don't know'.Then to the bridge,he lets the paino strings take a few seconds of the bridge after the chorus comes the second time.He does the same to the end of the song repeating 'They don't know just how I feel about you,I truly love you'.Produced by TY Mix.

Okay,If you don't get the previous jargon and you are askin 'What is it really about?' Here's an illustration,no body sees any good in your relationship with a chic and you don't get lucky.In your case,love doesn't rule and she leaves then you decide to get TY Mix to prouce a song inspired by this (by the way,TY Mix is behind all the great song you've heard,from Naeto C's kini big deal to Darey's Carry go feat. Tuface) when already you won 2.5 Million naira in a contest that involves singing- that reviews love truly by Iyanya Mbuk.
Here's a shout out to Adunola 'Winnie Winnie' Ajuwon

Welcome to 30 Seconds Review,Your No. ! Stop For The Quickest Reviews.Why the long thing?!

With slimy, witty and spectacular skits that depict creativity, the album belonging to M.I does it.Let’s check out the analysis of the album…Jude Abaga (M.I) sure is one of Nigeria’s hottest emerging rap acts that have changed the industry with his style.He possess a lethal weapon in both writing and delivery skills.Check out stunning word plays and similarities on track 2 and 11 as he speak about “Big Boys” (use the word), track 10 sees M.I. lace tight instrumentals with dope rhymes telling the ‘listeners’ how best he is.

Tracks 5 sees M.I collaborate with a reggae act, there’s a lot of spoken words in between.M.I does an R n’ B song he titled 'Forever' meaning he can sing too!
Though M.I does not direct a few tracks to any one but emcees need to sit up.
