Continuing with our tradition of bringing you news stories chronicling the best happenings of the entertainment world in 2014, we found this article written byMorakinyo Olugbiji and it is indeed a really good article.
“It looks like in the history of Nigerian
music, 2014 has the highest rate of bad,
garbage music being churned out. From
watered down lyrics that do not
correlate, to singing different songs on
same beat, the state of the industry
leaves much to be desired. Below are
my top 10 picks of worst hit songs of
the year 2014.

leaves much to be desired. Below are
my top 10 picks of worst hit songs of
the year 2014.
1. Body by Black Magic ft Banky W
The song has now been edited. ‘Sex’
has been replaced with ‘eh’ but the rest
of the lyrics is still as worse as the
original. You can imagine my
embarrassment the first time I heard this
song on Channel O. You know how Naija
artistes like to cover up sexual
explicitness with slangs? This brazen
artiste called Blackmagic didn’t cover
up anything. Lol. Though the song was
released in December 2013, I feel it’s as
good as being a 2014 song and should
be on this list to show you how bad the
music industry has become and what
your children are listening to.

2. Ogaranya By Kcee ft Davido
Now, I’m sorry KCee has to be in this
list a second time. Personally, I’m kind
of confused about him. Maybe his music
is not that awkward. Maybe it’s his
gesticulations/dance steps in his videos,
costumes or tone of his singing voice or
his general fashion sense that is
awkward and give off an impression of
his songs from that perspective. I’m yet
to place a finger on what it is. Most of
the people I’ve asked have mixed
reactions as well. They really’ can’t say.
Ogaranya has a good meaning; A rich
person or something like that. Some
things are just wrong with part of the
lyrics and Davido once again rubbished
his own brand on this one.

3. Shekini by Psquare
There is a popular Yoruba proverb which
says that when a child is due for
maturity, he/she must put aside every
childishness. After many years and
despite their A-list status in the industry
couple with their global experience, the
Psquare duo are obviously not getting
matured at all with the disappointing
inclusion of the track ‘ Shekini’ in their
latest album.

4. Murda by Seyi Shay ft Shaydee &
Patoranking
If you listen to this song, even though it
featured Patoranking and Shaydee, all
you will hear for most part of the song is
‘She say she wan murder, he say he wan
murder, she say he wan do that thing ye’
Do wetin? Murder who? You be Oscar
Pistorius?

5. Shake Body by Skales
Need I talk much about this one? You
sef check out part of the lyrics na… ‘
Oya shake body, Oya move body,Make
you ring alarm o, Oya shake body…Ah
coupe decale ma,Sagasige, Akilibre,
Faro de ma, Decale….decale,
Krikata,Krikata,Krikata,
Krikata,Krikata,Krikata,
Krikata,Krikata,Pon pon,
Somunto….somunto, Kalopere,
Kalopere, Kalopere’ Now, what’s all that
about?

6. Shoki by Lil Kesh
I hated this song for a very long time,
however I had no choice but to like it
after people won’t stop playing it
everywhere I go. Even the NBC ban did
absolutely nothing to stop people from
rocking this song which had the artiste
mostly screaming ‘Shoki Ahhh Shoki’.
Davido however disappointed me this
time around for accepting to feature in
this kind of song. He ended up chanting
the rubbish shoki along with the YBNL
crew in the remix. Those are the words
our generation is digesting and we
wonder why over 70% of candidates
failed the last private WAEC and there is
massive failure especially in English
Language. By my rough count, there is a
total of 200 ‘Shoki ahh Shoki’ in this
song!

7. Dorobucci by Mavins All-stars
This is probably the biggest hit of 2014.
Don Jazzy is a great producer no doubt,
but he and his artistes have a history of
churning out garbage. Dorobucci is so
meaningless some people began to
doro-call it doro-occultic. Doro
bloody. .Doro Doro doro do do
doro….doro. Where I come from in Oyo
state, Doro is that rubber device used in
drawing up water from a well.

Unfortunately, this is a country where an
artiste will just wake up early in the
morning and find out that PHCN has
brought back power supply, then out of
joy he’ll dash straight to the studio to
record a song about UP NEPA! He’ll call
that an inspiration.

Even Don Jazzy himself is yet to come out straight about
the meaning of Doro, because the truth
is that it has no meaning.

8. In my bed by Wizkid
It’s been long established that this song
by Wizkid is a total rubbish, which like
the others on this list parades lyrics and
verses that have no business whatsoever
with one another. The song na real
Americana Wonder like he sang. And on
top of all dis matter wey dey ground,
Wizkid believes that he is amazing. Hear
him. ’Oh anytime, they hear my song
They say I’m amazing gan’. Well, it’s
truly amazing that a small boy like him
can make so much money and stardom
with all that lyrical hogwash.

9. Story for the Gods by Olamide
Here is a song I wish would quickly go
away. Beautiful rhythm, but this song
glorifies rape and abuse of women in all
its entirety. Story for the gods is all
about getting loaded with local
aphrodisiac (Dongoyaro, Monkey Tail
and Claro ), then going ahead to having a
forceful carnal knowledge of a lady. The
phrase ‘ Story for the gods’ (means to
refuse to listen, deaf ears etc.)

10. Hakuna Mata by KCee
This song is senseless from the word
go! He started like this ‘Five star music,
E money, Its Kcee labalo’. What is
‘KCee Lobalo’? Is ‘Lobalo’ French or
Spanish? In another part of the song, he
said ‘Cecilia bum bum, cecilia bum bum,
Shebi na your bum bum, cecilia bum’. I
don’t know what’s with Cecilia’s bum
bum o.
