Do you guys agree that D'banj & Don Jazzy built the ent. industry we have today?

Don Jazzy was a year older yesterday and from D'banj's tweet, the two former Mo'Hits execs hung out. D'banj also made an interesting comment that I want to make a topic of discussion. D'banj tweeted that hanging out with Don Jazzy made him remember what they built, 'The Industry today'.

What do you guys think of that comment? Do you agree that they built the Entertainment industry that we have today? Please share your thoughts

D'banj obviously is exaggerating. if Donjazzy and Dbanj built the ent. industry we have today, what abt the likes of Pretty and Junior, Keke and D1, Remedies, Plantashion Boiz, 2face Idbia, Daddy Showkey etc these ones built what? Dbanj should take several seats back. i guess he's high on something when he made this comment or he's just trying to get attention

Anonymous said...

Dbanj should suck on an orange, what should people like madators, remedies, kush and tribesmen say. Have 3 seats dbanj, eat humble pie and get your mojo back.

Very True.. They kinda paved way for likes of them bankyand mi .. Etc. The overseas returnees

Abeg easy with the arrogance ……… The music industry was built way before you came in, and will still be standing tall years after you fade. You built nothing , not even the greatest naija artist

You only contributed a bit of your quota , that’s all ……… In your own words Dbanj “don’t get it twisted”.

BTW its glad to hear you both are hanging out and resolving past issues

It depends on what he meant by "building the industry". I can't seem to lay a hand on any specific thing that D'banj has done to claim "building the industry". For Don jazzy, hmmm... he has done a couple of things to bring budding talents to light, etc.

All in all, the so called "building the industry" is more of a cumulative effort of all the stake holders - not just ONE or TWO people. **iRestMyCase**

Although I hate kenny ogungbe with a passion,I have to state that the entertainment industry as we know it in nigeria today,was largely built by kennys music.

Keke and D-One in collaboration with Tuface,Remedies and Plantashun boys revolutionised the industry.Mohits and Psquare only liberalised the industry.That is to say,they turned the industry into a vocation for entertainers,an euphemism for what we now call swagger.Keke and D-one deserve the greatest praise for what we now call the "Nigerian music industry"

Don Jazzy and D'banj only came into the music industry after the path had been created for them by the hip hop pioneers.
Build ko? How many albums has D'banj dropped? He came in 2006 and has been blessed but he and Don Jazzy did not build this Industry.

They just were talented and as well fortunate.

BABA Keke and OTUNBA D1 laid the foundation of the class and hypes the music industry has today in Nigeria BUT credit should also go to the MO'HITS founders as they built extensively on the foundations laid by BABA KEKE and OTUNBA D1. D'bang isn't too far from the truth.

I like both Dbanj and Don J,but Kudos goes to Kenny and D1.Imaging playing 9ja hip hop song at the club in early 90s was a taboo.It was when Kenny and D1 came that entertainment industry change in Nigeria.Ask ALEX O,ALEX ZITTO,BLACKKY,JUNIOR AND PRETTY,DANIEL WILSON,MIKE OKRI.So disagree with DBANJ on this.

They didn't build the entertainment industry. They met a ready audience that had been prepared pioneers when they got back from their UK sojourn.

Sorry Don Jazzshit..u didn't build naada...in 2006, u and debanj came back from jand trying to do a collab with every known Naija artiste you had seen on BEN TV in England, u guys were almost signed to Storm records(which moi and my guys were performing shows with at that time) for 1 million naira, u were hiring cars an forming 'big boys' stance, when Debanj did his album launch in the white house...now u are saying you built what industry??????
The likes of Storm Records, obi Asika, Question mark records's kevin and Keke and D 1 for instance should talk about things like that!! Please don't fool this young ones; all of you including the likes of weird Mc, kween and a lotta others came back from jand while some others came back from yankee to bum-rush the industry that was already taking shape. Also props to Howie tee for instance who brought out P square and so many others who haven't laid claim to building, so bros relax ok?That's the problem with Nigerians, we lie too much. For instance the term' red carpet' was first used popularly in Naija when Storm records used it at Dare's launch at the Eko Hotel! I think people like Obi Asika can lay claim to such, spicing up what Prime time already laid down, oga jazz please don't talking jazz........THE GREMLIN DEY VEX O!!!

Congrat tu D banj! He's the most stupid creature of his generation!

To an extent, d'banj is not far from the truth. I think Kenny and D1 laid the foundation. Dbanj and Don Jazzy brought the glamour which is why we see every artist trying to be image conscious today.

NEVER, I remember Remedies, and afta the split, Idris, with rugged man dissin idris in his song "y u 2 dey rap like mumu" vividly. Tribesmen were dre, plantainsion boyz were dre. without 4getin kennies music.

Those are the people who should say they built the industry not dbanj! he's a 2nd generation artist in Nija music family line!

I don't mean to sound derogatory,anybody who faild to mention the Kennis duo of Keke,D-One and Tubaba as the pioneers of the industry has not really said anything.

Igor said...

It was even Keke and D-One that started this endorsement thing.Remember when MTN branded their hummer jeeps,and Tuface's 20million naira endorsement with Guiness.

Linda, share our thoughts, ιƨ it the one Ʊ ɪ̣̝̇â„“â„“ publish or the one Ʊ are gonna use αѕ a toilet papper? Anys let ♍ε̲̣̣̣ air Ðœ̣̣̇Æ” thought. I believe the industry he ιƨ talking about ιƨ that of great sound. Beatings that pierced people's spine and made them wanting for more always. And helped boost Nigerian *music* industry. That made the likes of genevieve, omosexy etc. Who has the gift of acting wanting to shame their personality by singing. *runs away*

Last time I checked, P Square older than DBanj in d music/entertainment industry; P Square has more albums than DBanj; P Square more famous than DBanj; P Square sells out more concerts than DBanj BY FAR!,P Square richer than DBanj...DB seems 2hav an ego ailment. May he b healed.

Best comment so far!

He never said they single handedly built the industry, but they made a huge impact which is undeniable

Well I think Nigerians started paying more attention to Nigerias Afro pop music scene after the plantation boyz broke up.... The Fame started from there... people also wanted to see what they (PB)could do individually... BUT No doubt The don jazzy and d'bang's era came after... and they enjoyed what plantation boyz, The Remedies, Trybes men built... Mo'hits indeed made hits...

Hell Noooo!As much as I love them both,they are not even close to being regarded as building the Yaba music industry not to talk of the Nigerian music industry.No artiste did that not even Tuface or Baba Fryo...it was a series of events that created the industry like influence of foreign artistes,democratization of mass media,youth culture,urbanization,the emergence of night clubs,etc.If there is any person(s)that should be credited at all for blowing up the music industry,it should be the PrimeTime Jamz trio of Kenny,ID and D-1.When ther was no one to talk about the artistes,they did it first.They allowed us to know their music,love it and spread it.They pretty much started the Nigerian music industry.I give that one to them!Chikena!(I don't know them for Adam ooo,lol))

First 2 win an mtv european award, first 2 b payed millions 4 less dan 30 minutes performance on stage n endorsement deals . Dbanj only came in bcos of d money

They are the ones that brought big money into the industry. Before D'banj, who dey collect even 3,4 or 5 million for show? Wasn't D'banj the first to get big endorsement deals for millions of naira? 2baba and plantain boys, showkey etc were there but they weren't commanding huge sums.

D'banj really doesn't know how to talk sha...he built an industry dat was around before he was born? Hmm...enu e po broda. Trust Michael, he will totally exonerate himself from such a comment.
