E getty plenty plenty things we know supposed to happen for this life plenty plenty things plenty plenty nonsense Hello everyone welcome to your favorite music podcast Hear me out of the money Popsie I think I sent you a song earlier earlier this week right yeah the song right I feel disappointed in myself that I even like this song in the first place so you know you sent me like that EP I was supposed to listen to and then immediately after the EP played that particular song came on and I was like oh this this song sounds nice and you know normal me I'll try to find out who the artist is and what the song is about what the artist is about maybe it's something I can bring up on the podcast at one point and then I went on to his page and what I saw looked like it was generated by you know ai then okay there is an Instagram link I went on the Instagram AI what's going on did I just did I just like an AI music I was disappointed man I was really disappointed and then I heard about before I even got to that guy that track you had already messaged me oh na AIO no listen again mine was even a good one thank god I didn't share with anyone it was gospel I was blasting gospel you know Spotify will just go with the algorithm and give you like what you're listening to or give you options uh so this one came up it was smooth it was clean I almost raised my hand and said father forgive me all my sins or more I just say wait wait wait before I add this to my library let me check Wagwan okay so I checked the guy or check whatever that was AI I say ah so AI they put me in the spirit father lord forgive AI won't take our life we will the the the the emergence of AI is I think it's not something I I would happily welcome in the music industry in maybe my my view on it is going to change in the future but for now I I am not a big fan yet you know that song that has been playing Ute Papa Ute Ute people are using it on their um Instagram reels and whatnot and uh it's a song by you know this artist and he sang this song about his father leaving him you get like the guy is burning and we were blasted yeah the the first remix of the song that they made that became viral was done using AI do you understand so um I don't know if he's making any you know um revenue from the song going viral or if there's any way for him to capitalize on this but even the fact that the meaning of the song is being lost in the way the song is being used is just it's not something I appreciate. And it's becoming so rampant now a lot of songs are being uh remixed with AI and whatnot and and I don't know how the artists themselves feel about this. Yeah you know it's something and it's not it's not just this music in general now people already using AI for music videos they're using it for you know things that we could have done uh with the creativeness of humans as it is so on that one I think I I I won't say I understand but it's fair to say the creative directors the the guys who helped in the shooting of the music videos are now expensive so that's where like visualizers come in instead of an actual music video you know like back then or someone like David will always drop an audio of a song and drop the video right immediately.

SPEAKER_02 4:58

But now even David doesn't do that anymore. I mean David is probably one of the assiz one of the richest Nigerian artists but he himself he has come to the terms that this music video is becoming too expensive. It's becoming too expensive. So I can I can understand why artists will say okay I run this thing now it's just a month subscription to cost a few bucks rather than calling on whoever is available to come and shoot the music video is kind of expensive. And the culture of music videos has died down to be honest.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

Okay let's let me let me take your points one by one visualizers and music video. You see visualizers became popular because artists couldn't afford to shoot videos for all their music anymore you're right that's why visualizers became popular because as it is artists a lot of artists have personal photographers who move around with them when they go to the club they have videographers with them they take photos they record videos and why let this all these videos that we have and all these pictures we have why why let it go to waste so yeah the idea came in and they started using these videos they've taken in the past of them going to shows and being in the club they started using it as visualizers that is one so I think it's taking the job away from the directors the video directors the music videos directors but he's giving more um what was it called opportunities to their personal photographers do you understand so that's one so one man's meet is another man's poison yeah that one I that one I understand I understand the issue of the visualizers you know they can't really afford the big directors anymore you can't do big budget music promo now when you when you don't know if for a fact the music is going to blow up but yeah um now visualizers is a different thing I'm still not like convinced about that I mean still shoot your music video I still want you to go meet a proper director and get your music video out there you know but then again now moving from visualizers to ai that one it's another ball game that one is another ball game do you understand my mind not carry on i don't think i don't think it's something i endorse in any way you see um this is this is this is let me let me just before i forget this i think this is my quick take on artificial intelligence i have been watching some videos on youtube there is this guy on youtube um nkdhd he's into tech he talks about phones and anything that uses tech in any way and there was a time he did an actual episode on data centers yeah so do you know well data centers are like the backbone of artificial intelligence as it is and we call it artificial intelligence there is like no real intelligence to them they are just large language models they just you know they put informations they've been fed in the past they put them together and try to pass it on to us like it's something new it's not new it's something out there already you see videos of there's like that artist that I thought was a good song when I got to his when I got to his Instagram the video they posted that was supposed to be him was actually another person on TikTok that they just put a different face on so artificial you want to you want to add something no no i so I just wanted to say I've had reason to work on AI projects so I agree when you say we're just feeding them existing data or what's already on ground and they are you know picking up from there. So yeah that makes sense that's also I wanted to concord to that yeah and the data centers I talked about these data centers they the you know it's like uh what was it called storage and they need cooling they need a lot of cooling so a lot of water is being used and bring the hot yeah um and the water that now they are trying to make it like a closed loop system where the water that is being used in those data centers it's the same one and it just you know you don't need to like get new water to feed it but at the moment that is not the technology in that aspect is still you know limited so they still need like constant fresh water to keep these things cool because you can use dirty water do you know because if you use dirty water it's going to it's going to it's going to ruin the whole thing. So this thing apart from the fact that it's still it's still maybe in the future it's going to get better it's still harmful to the environment and it's taking away jobs it's taking away our creativity all those things is one of the reasons why I haven't accepted it.

SPEAKER_02 10:20

If I if I am watching your video and I see the use of AI in your music video it will first pull me up like just like the way you find out that you know I mean you you said you're not accepting it but for me I would say it's new tech right let's just use it the right way I've seen a lot of people abuse it like you said uh I think we've we've had conversations about uh people using it and become lazy in terms of the creative process they just say AID AI go run this P that kind of thing so it's it's new technology I think with time like every other thing it will grow on us so let's see what the next few years has but at this point it's it's at the baby stage it's still crawling when it starts to work I'm sure it will make more sense but I mean moving on from AI you saw how at the start of the year everyone was jumping on the man to man challenge from Dremel. Which one would you say was your best?

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Definitely Suits Iwa maybe you're pronouncing the name wrong suits Iwa or sute Iwa that was my favorite and I think I replied on on the post when you posted it and said wow this this is my favorite for me you know the the flow the lyricism it was just ahead of everyone else it was just ahead of everyone's that was yeah it was a good one i like i like the one when yc came for what's the name of the one that's that's the one uh finum he said you you don't even have an essentials that you've been you've had you've had a song with starboy and you're not even like the limits was it was too good it's that was that was my best too it's no no it I like the fact they were coming for each other from different angles but yeah when YC when YC came from Final I was like what bro it killed I I think it killed Final because and we need YC back. Speaking of we need I think he's back yeah I was gonna say that because I read his birthday post like I read the the like caption me I'm always reading the caption of people's posts it's key for me meanwhile guys I don't know if you guys read our caption sometimes we expect you guys to just vote on our pages you know when we put up a poll you guys should relate with us guys we know the bites but yeah so speaking of YC it was really good like I read his his caption and he was saying like at 31 he did this at 30 he almost thought he lost his life then it sounded more encouraged then I went through the comments and it just makes you understand that some artists like some celebrities they really you know keep up with each other because people were saying guy your story is one of grace your story is one of this and he was like yeah thanks guys that kind of thing so yeah I think he's back he was in can or so the other day so little by break by break YC should be back almost allergy we need you man but how easy is it going to be for him to like get back on his foot like get back into making heat get back into like you know getting festival appearances getting shows do you think it's going to be an easy journey I mean it's not young anymore the energy the mental strength needed to do all that I I think it might that's where the relationships you've built might come in handy.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

Say YC is friends with his celebrity say whoever he could they could just like tell him to be on stage with them we go back to the days of juice we go back to the days of Omo allergy then he just starts cementing his play his place back then maybe he gives us or he jumps on some songs then he gives us maybe an EP you know it will take a it might take some time but I think relationships he he has built over the years might really help him.

SPEAKER_01 14:35

But I mean let's see I I don't think there's a coming back the the only thing that will probably happen is if he keeps pushing up music it he gets one he gets one more grace one more eat song and that's it. You know uh people move on from things nowadays and when they move on now there there's no looking back you know there's this topic me and you we've been like flirting with that we're going to discuss on the ep on on the pod and that's ageism in music that's one thing. Oh yeah when when you start to get older when you've been around for a while once you get to that like five year mark six year mark people just sort of lose interest especially when you've been away this long even I can bet for a fact that if MI tries to like make an album now except for like his core fans that he has gained over the years yeah nobody's going to nobody's going to like kill to listen to an MI MI tape anymore an MI project because they feel like what what does he have to offer anymore?

SPEAKER_02 15:41

We we have these new people we're listening to what should I expect from an AMI project so but one person I think that he lives or he's still a bit relevant is Tubaba.

SPEAKER_01 15:54

You saw the snippets of the song with Fulla that I sent you I'm like Tubaba this guy at some point we thought you were you were leaving the industry then you came back with a Maca with Perusi now you've done it again or you're about to do it again with Fola I'm like this guy you know what he did your age is you know the end that's the that's that's one way to look at it but do you know in the past five years he has dropped like two projects and nobody even bought an eye yeah two it's like two solid projects is dropped and probably people just listen to it once and they don't even go back.

SPEAKER_02 16:33

That's about it. Yeah I think it's essential for people to know when to tap out to be honest.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

So you don't end up in Saudi league um you know um if it's something you've done for so long it's difficult to say this is the end.

SPEAKER_02 16:52

True I mean this is the end Modric is still playing in AC Milan it's okay but speaking of ageism you see Tony Cruz when Tony Cruz wanted to tap out I'm guessing he was cautious enough to know when to call it quits everyone was like I don't understand why Tony Cruz is living at this age yeah so it's it's a tough call to be honest I can't even force people when they still like when they still feel like they should stay if it is if it is all you've known if it is all you've been doing saying you were 18 probably 16 you've been making music all your life even if it's football if it's what you've been doing all your life it's going to be difficult to say okay now is time to stop so I know it's difficult but at the end of the day and the thing with like someone like Too Faced is the strength to push is no longer there.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

They probably just want to make music and hope people enjoy it but the strength to go to like go to radio stations to push the song go on podcasts and do a tour and all of those things for someone like Too Faced who has a lot going on in his life imagine sitting with Too Faced and you want to ask him questions bro where you want to start from then there's just so many things going on in his life he's getting married he's getting divorced and he has kids just he's being arrested in the UK just like what happened to him in in his in his times man trying to revive career you know there is um what was it called um Vector and Shonkuti they are like a collab project um yeah I'm guessing that was their uh like that was their like um I don't know trying to like get back to making like good music again you know trying to be out there again so they did like this collab project it was nice I mean it's it's Vector and Shonkuti you should expect something nice. But then again like you said people move on when they move on from an artist is difficult except you come back with something really really you know extraordinary people will not tap into you.

SPEAKER_02 19:05

So you know sometimes collaboration self collaborations in itself whoever you collaborate with might affect your rich so this is why I mean in Vector and Sheon Kuti's case now Sheon Kuti is people will target him a controversial guy because he's always you know having it having one thing or the other to say about certain topics and not not a lot of people like someone that's confrontational like Sheeung Kuti. So someone will just be like Sheung Kuti and Vector with him be this they won't bother listening. So is a person think well these things are I don't think there's a one size fits all but who you work with sometimes can make you go down you know how you guys don't like let's stay on this topic for a while let's stay on this topic for a while this old Shokuti being controversial.

SPEAKER_01 20:00

I like it so Shell Kuti will on ring lights put camera in front of him and he's always coming for one person or the other the what he did earlier this year we all know it's uh with Wheeze no he started with he started with FC and then he he he kept growing gradually like that and you know he was going back and forth for like one week just with FC but he said something that I don't know if I agree with or but it sounded let me just let me just reiterate what he said he said if the music of the person you claim to support satisfies you and it fills your soul you won't need to come online to be dragging other people and be comparing numbers I don't know if you understand he said if you listen to an artist and the music of the artist you're listening to satisfies you and it fuels you you wouldn't need to come online to compare numbers and drag other artists what do you think as confrontational as she is that particular line is facts so I I I know if I know a few people that don't like what I like right yeah starting from the slightest things even as food or whatever and vice versa I don't like what they like but we don't rub it on each other's face like everyone know everyone that knows me they know I like Benson I have never been online telling somebody Benson is better than your goods

SPEAKER_02 22:01

I don't. So in that in that in that in that context, I agree. Because why are you arguing? If you if if if you fuck with that person heavy, just let it let it go. That's my own take on it. There's no need of going online to say he sold out France, sold out Madison Square Garden, sold out Icoroo. Nah, bro.

SPEAKER_01 22:24

In in the context, I I I think it's a good quote. I that's why I kept it and I said I'm going to bring it up on the pod.

SPEAKER_02 22:32

That's your own quote of the year.

SPEAKER_01 22:35

No, that oh, come on, that's a rich. But just on that quote, there is there is a reason why FC are radical and the way they are right now. And it wasn't always like this. I mean, people were people have always been listening to Miss Kid as far back as 20, you know, 12 or so. But when Made in Legos dropped, that was what radicalized a lot of these FC fans. That they made in Legos dropped on what's it called on Twitter. Hey, come and see Wonders. People before even listening to the album, they were condemning it already and saying, What is this? So that was the period like a lot of people who were like, you know, um, I don't want to use closette whiskey fans because it was very closeted a lot. But like, you know, people who have always been whiskey fans, that was when they started like, you know what, you people can't keep coming for this guy. We're going to defend him and whatnot. But uh that aside, Sean was going for FC. And while he was going for FC, he kept saying things like, if your guy they sell out shows, your fans will not be online. Tweeting and coming at me.

SPEAKER_02 24:04

So you know another thing. Sorry. You know, you know another thing I like about that whole thing is, and I think I told you is Whiskey has cemented his love from the fans. Like, yeah, till that's two them parts. The fact that he spoke up, because first off, whiskey is a chill guy, he'll just be chilling. No, I mean he chilling chill or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 24:31

Like normally, like normally, no, no. Normally, he will just he will just be giving his own vibes, doing as if he's not seeing certain things. He's always only going for David or Bernard, throwing shades, those kind of things. But the fact that he was shading FC. I mean, fading whiskey indirectly through FC, and he still came out, his fans were like, Baba, till the day you die, we will support you. And that thing alone has cemented FC. Like, it's a it's a different ballgame. I don't think anybody can say shit again about whiskey. And they won't they will cut your neck off. So, but the how the thing transpired from that to fella, I was just like, this thing has is severed some, he has severed the relationship. Now, whatever relationship whiskey might have had with a part of the fella family, I think that has been severed because he went, he took a toll.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

Yeah, um, he, you know, he released some uh post and it was like, I'm greater than your papa. What's he won't do? Yeah, that that that was that was it was and you know, um I'm not someone who would like I don't like being I know they've been coming for him, I know Shon has been coming for him, but that felt like a bit too far. What do you think? I think it was it was a bit too much uh saying things like and you know Wiz is someone who respects fella, you know, he has a tattoo of him on his tattoo of fella, yeah. Yeah, so I don't think he meant that in any way. It was just like you know, that kind of thing that you're arguing with someone, you know, your papa, yeah. You you obviously you obviously don't know the other person's dad. You just said your papa because you're pissed, it's not like you meant it, like you know. So I think that was where he was like, you know, um, Femi Kutti and Weez, they've always been close. See the way I call Femi Kutti me like it's not my age weight, a old man like that.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

His son is probably older than me.

SPEAKER_03 26:50

Now so now your guy now so famo.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

Yeah, yeah, I'm Femi tight, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 26:55

Famo Femo, normal.

SPEAKER_01 26:57

Okay, you know, you know, these are Femi Kitty. I don't have me game, but anyhow, they've always been close. But you know, after this old deal with Shell, they I don't I don't I don't know how the relationship is going to turn out now. Being the fact that he disrespected his dad, I don't know. And then we saw we saw David, we saw David immediately with uh what's it called with the family, with the pretty family restoration power.

SPEAKER_02 27:29

Funny enough, David was with boss, he was with uh brother boy's brother. She has a fella boss, like I said on my party today.

SPEAKER_01 27:37

We just not people name off top their head, yeah. He was with her at the grammar. So I'm like, okay, so anyways, no, no, no matter what issue you have with someone, when you meet their parents, you just need to show respect. I don't care what some people not send though, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:00

If they if they beef you, then they beef your entire line lineage, your even the ones where they were bombon, then they come for you then.

SPEAKER_01 28:08

I think that's just the things the cartel do. When they want to kill you, they kill your entire lineage so that nobody really tells you so the one can take revenge. I don't know. I think David, David, you know, I don't want to be like, oh, David deserves the Grammy because I'm the interior and you know, Tyler also probably deserves the Grammy, you know. She has put in a lot of work in our predictions. I think we we knew Tyler was going to win because yeah, I was Tyler all with you. Yeah, but she's she's put in a lot of work. But you know, after the Grammys, David said he knew he wasn't going to win, but his wife told him, Let's go, despite the fact we weren't going to win. So I don't know how that how that works. Yeah, he tweeted and it was like, my wife said, Let's go, despite the fact that I wasn't going to win. And he was like, Grammy, you can't keep doing this to me. I think he's been nominated two times and he hasn't won any of the nominations. But next time, David, keep creating. There's still something in you. I feel like you can still, you know, drop good music. But like we talked about AG Zim and being in the game for a long time. I think it's starting to affect like these guys we consider the top three right now. I like when they drop music, there's not that much. Like we're really crazy going into a Davido project. Like we're like, ah, it's Davido. It's Davido, no problem. We listen when we listen, but we listen when we can. I hope, I I hope David gets his Grammy. He deserves it. He's he's putting like a lot of work, he's putting like a lot of work. So I think it is. I was listening to um, you know, some underground artists trying to find something new. And when I was listening, I went to check their Twitter page and see what I can find. And I was there and I saw like a couple of people having this discussion, and I want to know your thoughts on it. Underground underground, underground music. Is it a genre now, or is it um a name to tag emerging artists? What do you think?

SPEAKER_02 30:42

I think it's a name to tag emerging artists. Uh it's like a school, right? There's how you start from nursery school, you go up to primary school, you go up to secondary, you go up to university. Like you keep scaling up, right? So an underground artist starts from underground, you become a C list artist, you become a B-list artist, then you become an A-list artist. That's how I see it. I don't think it's a genre on its own, right?

SPEAKER_01 31:10

So the the argument was that um the underground scene, they are experimenting with music a lot. So even if you go mainstream at one point, if you're still experimenting like hard with your music, you're trying to do something new. That means you're still like creating the underground space. That's like the underground genre. On underground genre part.

SPEAKER_02 31:41

So I'll ask you, I'll use a question to answer that. Because there's an artist that keeps experimenting on almost all his albums. Adequate good. Would you say he's underground?

SPEAKER_00 31:53

Um, you see, I think we're good.

SPEAKER_02 31:57

That context of experiments. Those guys just bust up the thing, though. They haven't, some of them haven't really found their true song.

SPEAKER_00 32:14

They said, Mingo for Ikeja. Mingo, to be honest with you, to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_03 32:21

That song is a menace.

SPEAKER_01 32:25

To be honest with you, I don't I don't hate that song. To be honest with you, I don't hate that song. It's a song I see myself like playing just to enjoy and just vibe. It's I don't I don't hate it. And by the way, you know, my baby girl loves it, so I love it too. Aristar reposted the song. I think she sang the song or something. I was like, you know, if Aristotle loves it, I love it too. So for someone that doesn't like who is your guy, but you like Ikeja.

SPEAKER_02 32:56

No, see, see, let me explain.

SPEAKER_00 32:59

Let me explain. Let me explain.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

Or you even don't like the alpha song, that one by the Nepo babies.

SPEAKER_01 33:05

Ah, you see, I I heard the original version of that alpha song, and I think I like it. Before it became what it is now, I think I like it. You see, you see, that's why I always say you need to give music time. We can't rush to judge music. And maybe I've been in a haste in the past to like judge some certain songs, but to be honest with you, eventually it clicks, and when you hear the click when you get the click, you just it just doesn't go away. It just doesn't go away, just it stays with truth. A couple of songs I have I've probably not liked at first, and I'm like, what what am I listening to? And then eventually one day it just and then I'm like, wow, this is this is good music. This is good music. But going back on the underground scene, guys, they could go from like Fuji to like pop to like RB and stuff. These are already, these are established genres. This but for one artist to do all of that, you know, is you know, do I mean? Yeah, yeah. But have you listened to what these guys are making? Like Absta Goo, Astaghoo, Dan Papa GTA, um, then Eggertin, then Scottyoloni, and a couple of other um artists like that. Have you have you heard what they are doing? These guys are doing things that this guy, do you know what Dan Papa GTA did on one of his snippets I had? He picked like a sound from a game he used to play, and that was what he like used in making the song, like the production on that song. So these are like very experimental stuff. So, how is that a genre? But I think the argument is this like if you're doing it.

SPEAKER_02 35:08

Okay, where do you stand? Because I've told you where I stand and I told you why I think about it. Is it a genre on the ground?

SPEAKER_01 35:15

Um, I think this is this is this is where my argument comes from. Okay, labeling people on the ground is something I'm trying to like. I just want to recall people artists, artists now. If you're an artist, you're an artist.

SPEAKER_02 35:30

Okay, then you say emerging artists.

SPEAKER_01 35:32

I don't I don't but you know that they are trying to get to this point where if you're an artist, you're an artist. They don't want that label of emerging, upcoming, on the ground.

SPEAKER_02 35:44

Well, in every in every sphere, in every sphere of life, right? There's always a tag to whatever stage you are. So in football, you know, like the the youngsters, they will be called wonder kids, as people like when Saka was younger, now he was a wonder kid, right? Exactly, yeah. So he has lived up to that name now. They they go from Wonder Kid uh up to world class. Obviously, not every player usually arrives at world class. The same way, not all artists will get to be an A-list artist. Yeah, that's how I see it. There are levels in every sphere. You go from the under 18 to the under 21 to the reserve and to the first team. So fine, let's not call you underground, right? We can call you emerging artists because you just bust up the scene.

SPEAKER_01 36:37

Okay. Okay, I think I think maybe they will need a new name for the this this kind of music thing. Like, let's just say, probably not the word underground as a genre, but it's not like they're not calling it underground genre, it's UG. So maybe it's going to stick, they're just going to stick with like UG as a genre. Because when he was having that argument, he stated that what Santi is doing, it's still UG, basically. And Santi is maybe, maybe he's not an early early statist, but probably biggest at least. You know, he's mainstream, mainstream. He's the leader of like the new school kind of. Um, so and Santi, I watched the this thing of him recently. Live stream. Not not the live stream.
