Anytime I say I'm done with Rudeboy, he'll bring me back to his matter.
So you must have seen the live video where fans asked him about the P-Square situation.
He said "you see those days when Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop, I no dey do am again. So I better dey work for myself only. Every time only me dey sing all the songs, I no dey do again."
We've gone from writing and self-producing 99% of P-Square's songs to being the one and only singer.
For anyone to make these self-aggrandizing claims every nkwo market day, their body of work has to be really tight lyrically.
In terms of songwriting, we should see metaphors, clever wordplay, structure and meaning in the written works.
Where are those qualities in the supposed songs he wrote?
Upon the fact that most of PS's songs are bits and pieces of foreign songs sewn together (which we've talked about before).
He went solo and continued with the age-long habit of copying elements from other artists' music.
For example, the opening line of his only notable solo record "Reason With Me" is Bob Marley's "Turn Your Lights Down Low"
He made no effort to modify the lyrics, leaving it as "She Turn My Love Down Low."
And that's our songwriter extraordinaire.
I'm sure I missed the part where this man writes some real sh!t.
What P-Square songs are we talking about here?
Oya shekini-ni-ni-ni?
Personally eh, Personal personally, ah ah ah ah??
I like it, I really really like it???
Are you kidding me, Paulo?
Even the late OJB, Cobhams, Asa never made this much noise about their songwriting abilities, and these were/are some of the best in the game.
But we won't hear word for this oga cut and join.
If 2baba, for example, comes out tomorrow and says he was the live wire of Plantashun Boiz, it's a legit brag. He did that! His vocals stood out.
But in this case, the difference between Paul and Peter's vocal ability is very marginal.
It's not like whenever he opened his mouth his voice rendered Peter invisible. Nope!
Still, every year he reminds us that he was the only singing member of PS, the one with such breathtaking vocals.
To what end?
His brother already told him "I agree, Rudeboy, you did it all."
But here we go with another public service announcement.
For someone who's been mostly reliant on auto-tune even during stage performances, the singing validations he's seeking is highly embarrassing.
I didn't want to get to that part but well, truth be told.
And I learnt he just welcomed a baby a day or two ago.
Shouldn't he be busy changing diapers or something? Ehn, Papa Chiaka?
No, he's still seeking for recognition as the president general among P-nation in live videos.
Ugh!
Ivy get your man.
