@vixxy02 If you don't like it then get the fuck of this page nobody cares what you think i swear ignorant mother fuckers talking like you raised Fela and keep your bitterness to your self.If his family was there and they enjoyed it that is all that matter because i don't think you know him any better than they do,after Jayz,will smiths etc sponsor the show to get it to the public at least more people know his name and if there are interested they will research because the play cant tell it all.

If Fela was a materialist,his record sales in the 70s' alone and royalties,as at the time he died,he would have been one of the wealthiest men in Nigeria,if not Africa! Money and materialistic gain wasn't his motivation.He was motivated by seeing an end to oppression of Africans by Africans and non Africans! It was to see Africans thinking and doing for themselves! It was about going back to our former systems before colonialism turned us into 'Zombies' of imperialism! Africans being Africans!

@SuteIwar I appreciate your comment! Actually we are BOTH on the same side,in terms of 'who' Fela was, and 'what' he represented! I have a problem with people presenting something or someone,through their own imagery,without fully understanding the actual concept. Fela has been an African icon for years,without over the top hyper-enthusiasm,in the form of commercialised capitalism! Lets be honest.What % of blacks in America can afford to see this?This type of commercialism is what Fela opposed!

@vixxy02 Yea, i feel when they say he is hiphop, its supposed to mean he was influential in that way, or he was rebellious and counter-culture the way hip-hop was when it arrived, but i dont' think most of them think it through, they just say it cus' it sounds cool. However, hip-hop is art so it does not represent capitalism and vulgarity instead these two concepts exist in every facet of life. I agree some people do not get it (Fela) but trust me does people aren't the one's producing this show

@SuteIwar It's rubbish....end of!
"He is hip-hop"....Who the hell told them that? This is just a marketing ploy yet again to take the best of Africa mix it up and rubbish it! Hip hop signifies capitalism and amassing vulgarity....everything 'ABAMI EDA' Didn't stand for! Fela was more than just dancing and prancing around....they just don't get it! Right now these people are just seeing this as another 'anti-white' fad,on an African level....totally unoriginal,unauthentic and laughable!

@vixxy02 Why so bitter? If we were capable of celebrating the legends life on such a grand scale shouldn't we have done it by now. We should be happy the man and his message is being recognized at the level it deserves to be finally. They cannot pronounce his name properly because it is not an English name, and they do not speak yoruba. This broadway celebration of Fela was cared for by Fela's manager for about 20 years, Rikki Stein who made sure Fela's message and integrity were protected.

Bloody rubissssshhhhh!
Why can't these bloody Yankee fools do a production about Martin Luther King? Rosa Parks or Elijah Muhammed and leave Fela for us Nigerians, who know what Fela REALLY stood for,not this cheap ghetto interpretation,of what he defiantly was NOT or did not stand for!
Idiots that can't even pronounce his name,nor have they even heard of him before now! And what's with the bloody Kente???

@moxamet that was a bit stange. femi kuti was a lot closer to his father in looks and being around him a lot. i find it strange that they did not use a nigerian a yoruba man because despite what am reading now , fela never left his home, he even sang about it and that was changed into being something else.. we are not oppressed and defeated people far from it!!!
