50 Cent's second coming
Ladies and gentlemen, lets wellcome on stage Idris Abdulkareem!, clap clap clap...and i thought the chorus of the music will be clap clap clap, but no!....its simple..Wellcome to Africa!. were u at the KORA awards launching in Abuja?, You probably watched that captivating reunion on Africa Independent television...oh ok, well i did..but hey whats the hues and cries about?. Yes o!, you know in this our country we can do things, perform wonders..in short, we can be very positive people in Africa. oh..this story is too long now,..ok, hit the nail on the head!
What are you trying to say?, well, its being ongoing for sometime now, in my own judgement of the gangstar world, where the war of words is the prerequisites for album sales, i had envisaged that the Idris Abdulkareem/50 cent feud will last a very long time!..so you are not happy abi? noooo, its just that I was baffled at the announcement that Idris Abdulkareem was the one to show 50 African love to 50 cent.What is there to learn?....Did you not notice how 50 was bouncing to the beats and raps coming from idris? dont you remember that 50 refused to play at portharcourt the last time he came to Africa, due to the insecurity he percieved from the unrully behaviour of the Idris thugs?...ops!, i mean his body guards! It could have been a huge commercial success, had idris played along side 50.why?..well you need to listen to the articulation in that rap''welcome to Africa''and the involuntry nods from 50. For that moment, i saw positivity, compassion, i felt Love, i felt it was a celebration of African heritage of taking care of a brother from another mother.
That singular event has returned Idris abulkareem to my good books. thank you for this analysis, but nothing will change! says who?, do you know that as grown men, i would expect that from that stage they both may move to a bar and talk over a drink or two and come up with plans for a collaboration. who knows, Idris may decide to move down to the U S. hmmnn i dont think so, he likes Ghana, didnt you see him looking robust and well fed? what do you expect? Well, maybe litle. Did you see the colour? green white green for ever, that is the nigerian spirit in him!, But where did he put that part of him before now? Who talked to him? I must give kudos to the organisers for doing a very good job, for if it had been announced that 50 and Idris will be seeing again, i would have thought it to be on the screens, raining curses and abuse in the war of words. This gesture will definately bring Idris back to the good books of many fans of 50 all over the world, and as for Idris, he has openned a new page in his career. God willing, i want to see them both come up with an album.I dont think so..well you could be pessimistic, but me, i believe in African love. When was the last time you showed love? Tell me if you really have been positive all year round. what lessons are there for the younger generation in the music industry?
