Hausa Hip Hop Artist featured on CNN

[lionkiller900]

this one of the damn ignorance in Nigerians. they still look against western influence when things are actually changing. for example this Bala whatever he is called is a nuisance and an idiot and talks about western influences. if he is against it why then is he using chairs, electronics, and other shits. he might as well go die and let the new generation succed

[damsel2]

what? this aint hip hop yall.some R and B shit but defnately not hip hop.CNN get ur story straight.

[TheAgboha58]

mr bala i think you and your nigeria government are a bustrad fools you came out in the national television to talk about shit where you can not proved job the yourths,you all are full of shits ,you judging them but you can not do your job as a learder ,african fools

[bouchoura]

rap is american culture let us hausa do us because we look good doing it.

[buzosings]

@bouchoura. lets not decieve ourselves please...if that be the case, sleep under bukka, cos thats what you culturally inherited for a shelter, ride on jaki or doki, cos thats what you inherited culturally for transport. why not cut this crap of our culture our blah blah blah. Lets stop this hipocrisy and join the world race for development

[bouchoura]

@buzosings Well I will let u know that americans don't wanna heard stuff they have created themself they rather heard something u created like your own culture music.

[buzosings]

@bouchoura so if i make a hausa hip hop song for example, that makes the song done by the americans or the west, just because i don't sound like mamman shata or dan kwairo? understand that music is a universal language just like arts and crafts, it got no boundaries. I maight agree with you if you suggest fusion or spicing with one's cultural input, that works. Music is a profession like any other targetted at making money, nothing more.

[bouchoura]

@buzosing we don't own hip hop the u.s.a owns it.

[LaylaNevaGives]

The officials in Kano are just

[buzosings]

@LaylaNevaGives yes they are because they are not pouncing on your interest. it is the same hypocritical officials that build invite hausa film actresses into their offices to partake in immoral acts with them, the same rascal officials attend functions and shake hands and exchange hugs with foreign reps of the opposite sex, where is the justice there?

[hirofan]

Are there any Muslim artists who live and perform in Lagos?

[applepie4ever]

na gode, ina son wannan waka. Nazir mutum kirki ne, "censorship" babu kyau, wallahi!!

[muchbabe]

Talking about western influences bringing western problems and he is using a WESTERN LAPTOP... they might as well disapprove of ALL western influences....

[bighomiesleekj]

Lol i can stop laughing at "reducing employment" I am from Kano too and the issue is if he moves out of Kano and record songs with derogatory content he will have a problem with his family too for going against his religion and culture so its not just about moving.

[buzosings]

@bighomiesleekj That is what is killing us, once you find yourself centered self in the comfort zone, you then think you can judge people, this is why we are still living in plain bush...we can't stick our necks out for our people, this is the height of irresponsibility. For God's sake these guys are not engaging in any sort of immortal acts, support your guys, thats what it is. this judging mentality will not take us anywhere. selfish ruts kawai

[Adamusco]

All you guys are funny, where is he going to move to? He sings in hausa, it was a hausa hip pop.

[anitaalford]

Please, to all of the People in the motherland Africa, don't allow American, corrupt, evil, and hellbound music come in your country or come near you. You are much better without it.

[buzosings]

@anitaalford you are right, but hypocrisy never pays and remains why mother black africa has long stayed in rags and poverty. so that should not be your priority call!

[maveDady]

Having said that, if possible, I would like to suggest that you should by all means tone down any lyrics which are derogative; other than that, Son, you go ahead and do your music. You have so many supporters here in USA.

Thanks,

From Chicago

[Ifygurl]

He can go to the south of Nigeria and still do his music sincehip-hop isn't banned in that side. He just don't want to leave.

[maveDady]

I am very proud of you for doing something productive with your life. I congratulate you in advance for the success and prosperity you are about to experience. I highly recommend that you move to Ghana or any other neighboring African country where you can make your music without interference.

[Maibinjumas]

Nazir, I wish u all the best and God guidance.

[Olusog]

I totally agree with you Timmy...he should get outta there...itz not as if he needs a Visa...by the time he goes down to Lagos and picks up one or two awards from Kora, MTV and Channel O...the supposed 'censors' would beg him to come back and engage in one or two nonsensical political youth programme aimed at reducing employment...

[timmynaija]

Then he should get the hell out of Kano and make his songs in Lagos and other southern States and have a better life on there.

Need help get intouch with me.

[realziggy22]

anyone know how i could get to Naziru Hausawa??....i want to make it in nigeria

[bruin03]

@timmynaija they won't appreciate his music as much there without out the nudity, drinking and sex.
