By Adebayo Omisore
And so, The W Experience dropped! When Banky W released Strong Ting and Lagos Party, the first two singles off his sophomore album, sometime earlier in 2009, many were excited about what was to come. What was to come was, of course, The W Experience. And it is indeed an experience!
A whole lot has changed for Banky ever since he showed up on the scene with Mr. Capable. Besides his Etisalat ‘big boy’ status, whereas on his debut opus, much, if not all, of the production work was done by The Music Men (which includes Banky himself, Chris Cubeta and Stanley Ekure), on this go-round, he entrusts production to the genius Cobhams, relatively-unknown Sunny Nweke and Dokta Frabz. Other producers MI, K-Solo, Cabasa, Tee-Y Mix and the Muzik Men get a track each.
The usual suspects, the people you’d expect to find on a Banky album: olaDELe, eLDee and MI make it to the party. The surprise appearances are D’banj, 9ice and, perhaps, Naeto C on the Lagos Party remix and Interscope recording artiste Verse Simmonds who lent his voice on the Strong Ting remix. Banky also does well by giving shine time to new artistes including his EME boys Skales and Wizkid and former MBGN Munachi Abii (or Muna as she is known these days) who makes two appearances.
Newbie Sunny apparently has a future in music production as the two of the three tracks he handles are some of the best songs on the project. The first is ‘Can’t Stop Me’ which features rapper Skales. On this, Banky playfully references the Reuben Abati fiasco in The Guardian “and I ain’t meant no disrespect to Uncle Reuben”. ‘So Brand New’ is another Banky classic that will have the women wrapped around his little finger.
Banky was made for the ballads. So the other tracks that work on this album are the Cobhams-produced ‘Strong Ting’ and ‘Follow You Go’ and ‘Feeling It’ with MI on the boards. Of course, the Muzik Men can hardly go wrong on a Banky joint. So the ‘Nobody’ track totally works! The Dokta Frabz-produced ‘Lagos Party’ is already a certified banger.
However, Banky seems to have fallen prey to the mentality of playing to the gallery. Many may not know it but Mr. W did a fantastic job in his first offering which was, unfortunately, not given the full treatment at the time. After residing in Nigeria for the past twenty-something months, Mr. Capable has probably listened to some certain industry voices and is ‘giving the people what they want’. Well, maybe this is not what I want bruv. And that’s coming from a big Banky fan.
Thus some tracks had no business on the album. I honestly have no idea what Banky and Muna were trying to achieve on the intro track. If I were to judge the album based on just that, it would have failed woefully. And hearing the teenager Wizkid sing ‘back up your tanker’ on the sexually-charged ‘Tanker’ just doesn’t sit well. If I want to hear talk about cucumbers and such, there’s always the Kokomaster. Besides, a K-Solo-produced Banky song? Who would have ever believed?! Other songs like ‘Thief My Kele’, ‘No Be Lie’ and ‘Why’ would be decent for the average Nigerian artiste; but Banky is anything but average!
That said, The W Experience is not a bad outing. It’s just not good enough especially after the dizzying heights attained on Mr. Capable.

Chai, I was hoping it would out-do Mr. Capable especially after hearing "Strong Ting" and "Lagos Party" but then I heard "Thief my Kele" and I thought that it sounded decidedly average.
But this was a good review…
well he is still my best rnb artiste in naija….
I was expecting more than dis frm banky but unfortunately i think he has made enough money and he has decided to sing nonsense. I never see him as d best rnb artist in naija cos Dare's album is better than dis. Even d lagos party remix he had all d super stars on still dont make any sense to me cos Dagrin alone would have kill dat trak. I think he should start prepearing for another album cos naija will not accept dis. U fucked up banky. Capable is better dan dis. U dont have to look at names when working with producers next time. Compose better song like Dont break my hear and my regret, can any track match dose songs in dis album?

Well, mr W sure has a good voice & knows how to use it!
But there more to having a good voice & singing nicely. Banky lacks gestures, lyrical word play & most of all musical delivery!
He has never impressed him self on his own that's why he featured so many artiste on the W experience. He always flocks around rave of the moments – he started with 9ice, j-martins, dbanj & most recently MI all in the bid to tap into their fame cos he know hez a flop.
His first album Mr Capable didn't do well at all if u doubt me why on earth would an artist forcefully sell his ablum on d streets of lagos with sales boys & girls, u may say that was handled by his marketer or record label but if he were a good artist he doesn't need to force or beg people to buy his album!
Well this is another sucessfull flop by Banky & am not exactly disappointed!
So I say welldone Mr BaldiU!
yo, adebayo i understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but i think his album is awesome. Ya, he had a teenager on his track (am not saying its rite), If it was an american artist no one will criticise. (i really hate comparin naija to yankee coz they are just influencing everytin).People evolve includin Banky. U can expect him to be doin the same shit he did last year, peeps will get bored of him, so he has bin to inventive.
Wat i am driving at is dat he aint the first to do this and he wont be the last coz everytin is changin.
In short, i dont support wat he did but banky is still one of the best
i think Adebayo is right,let the truth be said, but Akin Banky W cannot be compared with Dare. Dare is a complete musician while Banky W is just an artiste.
He tried on this album, i give it to him, it is just not better than Mr. Capable. And Nigerias are ass suckers u should see the lies on Notjustok.com.They just check the comments and follow with what people are saying. Keep it up Banky W
Nice review i like it.
I loved the Wexperience, all songs related to me sumow,cept 9 which aint bad, diff strokes for diffrent folkes. Am not a fan of ANY nigerian artiste,but I give credit to Mr Capable, I particulartly don't like wizKid but his being on that track isn't a big deal, wiz is over 18 n dat doesn't make him a child. Diffrent strokes for different folks. Mr Capable keep doing yo thing. Besyds Lamis album shud be reviewed I give dat a 1 over 16.. A lot of nigerians sing crap tho
Mehn.. Boiz.. Girlz.. Lets give our home boi his dues.. This sophmore album is nice..yes i know it may not please all you physco critics out there..but my home boi did what he knows how too do best..DELIVER..
Big ups BANKS..
Total Classic
truthfully,he could have done better.but,that doesn't mean he didn't do well.i know people who won't listen to the likes of Banky W and Dare,but are rocking 'thief my kele' right now…i think the intro was bad too,and the album live to all the hype it was getting…i give it a 6 out of 10.
@ Gbawlhran- A lot of people like me will rather listen to godd music . to Hell with the likes of Terry G and Psquare. Dare and Banky W make me happy are angry with Banky W for leaving ballads, and i am one of them. I heard Darey's Stroke me and i was a little angry because our talents are gradually watering their lyrics to suit the Nigerian market. I rest my case on the issue and wait for Dare's album. i am hoping he doesnt go the Banky W way.
@Chubabz Classic album? it is below average. Stop sucking up
To me, Banky remains Africa's best R/B artist. Yes! He is my fan but i must say that what i expected from W experience wasn't what i heard. Mr Capable to me, is better than W experience. Songs like don't break my heart, my regret, call your name, capable are better than the ones on W experience. except for the one Skales was on, Strong thing and Lagos party. Well, Banky remains my no 1 r&b fan in 9ja. Banky i think you wanted to do it the Naija way, but i think it didnt work out well. Love you bro
i neva hear am and una no want make i even bother hear am.
Thanks 2 d massive airplay for 'strong ting' and thanks 2 T-Buck on d Area show for 'Omoge u too much', I got hooked and had 2 look 4 d album! I just listen to the same songs though, including Lagos party and the one abt wat's really goin on in Naija. I think Banky has a great voice and he's using it well, I could sleep with any of his ballads on. I used to say when he first came in that was he was waitin 4 Rihanna b4 he knew to sing? But now, I think he's just GREAT! At least with d GREAT songs that have me hooked!!
hey guys, i avnt heard d W exp, but i sure did hear Mr capable. bein a massiv fan of banky, i'd like 2 congratul8 mr bayo 4 a fantastic review. i was certainly baffld wen i saw k solo on d production list. and his debut mr capable was way underrated. and i feel akin had probably xpected way too much 4rm d lad… coz strong tin is a better song dan dont brk my heart and my regret put 2geda and multiplied by 2!!
and as 4 stan, u certainly havnt heard banky's mr capable album. ur comment holds very littl water. u said he lacks wordplay, then i gues "i got d 'right 2 eat' like a 'licence plate' " is a lame attempt!? dnt b silly… and u sed he lacks delivery. there's almost no artist in naija wit a smoother voice, so wht r u sayin? he coms crystal clear and is easy on d ear. whatesl d'u wnt? emotions? eva heard "kno ur name" "my regret" "2.45am"??? u dnt kno jack abt banky, so y nt keep still??? ur certainly right abt him taggin along otha acts, but thats non of our biz now, is it!? plus his mktin strategy (wetha aggressiv or othawise) remains his option. afta all, darey adopted sumthin like dis in d early stages of undareyted, and d success story of p square's game over is rootd in super aggressive tactics… so whta ur problem exactly?? i say beef…
1ce again, fantastic review
It is mind bogglin that in this age of capitalism, peeps like tade would want to tell us what good music is. If you don;t like Terry G and P Square, thats your own cup of coffee. They are lived by many. And of course thats not saying Banky and Dare aint hot.
Your taste can never be a standard to measure what is good music. We are talking entertainment and an indegenous one at that, if u want good music why don’t you go to the orchestaras and classicals, which i doubt u understand.
I simply feel that this review was done by a biased sentimental mind! My advise to Bayo! Better ur artiste other that judge Banky based on ur personal differences! Yea like we don't know ur many issues with EME,if u av a problem with them leave it at that! Did u listent to Can't Stop me? Or why? Or thief my kele? Nah! I wouldn't give the album a hundred percent but still give the dude credits! Besides those sayin he used Ebuttemetta as a means of cheap woreva,shud go and do their research well! Banky had been singing in the states and had been interviewed by many foreign stations! Let's stop creatin enemity between artiste by comparing them! Let sleeping dogs lie Mr Bayo! P.s I initially didn't like Banky personally until I saw his mature and responsible reply to Reuben Abati,the young man is talented and Intelligent!!
What aggressive mode is olas talking about ? Banky W is not as professional as Dare and Psquare. They leave their jobs for people to do and face what they can do the most- record and perform. Banky W does everything himself. For showing lack of understand I lol @olas
I think u are all correct but d fact is d hype d media gives dis album is too much. Everyday before d album comes out, they must write something abt it either here or notjustok. I dont knw maybe he has give u guys money, thats why we expect alot frm d album forgeting d fact he is not among d best in Naija. Imagine somebody sayin banky is d best rnb artist in Africa when he is not even d best in naija. Thats what am talkin abt, d hype is too much. Dont u think Dagrin alone would have made lagos party remix another hit? Na banky sabi o o.

…4got 2 say d best album of 2k9. WC’s mushin 2 mohits.
after i read dis review, i felt it was a fantastic piece. it ws so balanced, and i honestly thot it was one of the best reviews i had read.
it also had either a direct or indirect effect on my listenin 2 d album. i am a banky fan, i mus admit, but it took me 4-5 days afta purchasin 2 lisn 2 W experience. and i hav lisnd 2 W experience. dat sed, i wnt 2 in4m all readers of dis articl dat dis is a totally wrong review!!!!
the W experience is d 2nd best album of d year 2009. in dis cd, banky outwits (dis guy's wordplay would make ANY rapper in d nation go white with awe… "i'm blaizing so much paper like a chainsmoke" "am abt 2 'brainstorm', get a raincoat" "b my rihanna, i wud neva chris brown u"), out-sings (d album produces over an hour of beautiful soul/rnb/pop/hiphop music) and outclasses (d production on d album is second 2 none!!!) his major competition… DAREY!!! yes!!! nobody wud say it, but i wud! dis album is a class ahed of undareyted!! mr bayo definitly lisnd 2 dis album halfheartedly. if he dint, tell me how he missd that this album has a runnin time of over an hour?! and this dosnt include mindless filler or overrun instrumentals!! tell me how he missd that banky stood his ground evn in d midst of high-profile acts dbanj, 9ice and MI?! what mr bayo then does is 2 overflog one of the least-preferd song, tanker. and let me in4m readers… there is a song in d mr capable album that is one of the greatest examples of musical experiments gone wrong!!! d song is "ati de" with adewale ayuba. if mr bayo cud bring down W exp bcos of tanker (which is by far a better song than ati de) and say dat banky has compromised his stand, then he's not being truthful! if u say somthin is wrong wit a k solo and banky joint, then evrythin is perfect wit an ayuba and banky joint, is it?!
d major difference btw W exp and capable is dat Banky abandons his raggae influenced r&b and adopts a soulful and modern outlook i.e. if u lovd mr capable (and d trax til my dyin day and capable original & rmx), u wont get anymor of dat! but bliv me, d new banky is evn betta!!!
on d album, d "pop" influence is on d low and is limited 2 only "no be lie" and "tanker". lagos party is modern r&b/pop music, d type u'll hear 4rm a The-Dream. there mayb 3 avrage songs (which to me are: tanker, no be lie and nobody), but d classy songs trample them so hard, u'll 4get those songs were eva made!!! check 'cant stop me', 'follow u go', 'feelin it', 'so brand new', 'lagos party rmx' (note; i dint evn include 'strong ting' and 'lagos party original'). so wht is mr bayo sayin exactly?! evn d most classy CD eva made ofn hav a few avrage picks! on MI's beautiful record 'talk abt it', i felt 'money', 'forever' and 'jehova' were average; but dat dosnt matter much bcos som lov d songs like mad!! wht am sayin is in essence is dat an avrage song is in d ear of d lisner!! great songs and extremly bad songs may cut across larger groups, but average ones are ofn relative.
in closin, i am (like mr bayo) equally a big fan of banky, and i'd tell u solemly… dnt follow dis review! d W exp is on d same levl as mr capable, if it isnt miles ahead!
PS. i luvd d intro like die!!! impeccable jazz underlay!!! it mayb X rated, but d concept is fresh. and since mr bayo claims he dosnt get d reasnin behind it or wht was achievd, perhaps i shd xplain. d muna babe was simply describin d "W EXPERIENCE" as a sensual encounter i.e. using sex as a metaphor for the pleasure derived from lisnin 2 banky's songs. get it???
further PS…. am nt in banky's team. am just a music lover dat h8s wen gd music is criticised 4 unjust reasn.
wats the fuss about the W experience?i think the album is getting 2 much undeserved attention.it’s just another album………..with a handful of cool tracks and nuthin more.not the kind of album u’ll go searching the stores 4!
@lol. ur so so funny (GOES WIT D NAME, DOSNT IT?). i was replyin som1 who sed stuf on dis review. i sed p square and darey adoptd similar tactics, as in sendin sales pple 2 d streets 2 sell d album. p square was d worst, coz dey sent a big bus round ikeja wit loud music and hardcore sales pple. so u say i dnt undastandin, i dnt get? 'banky dos evrythin himself', u make me laff!!! wch human bein on dis planet can do half of evrythin he's 2 do himsef?? wht r u sayin??? y dos he hav EME if he dos it all himsef?? he got sales ppl 2 mkt his album, and i dnt c anythin bad in it. 'mr. undastandin'!! lol (get d joke??)
@adebayo groupie. wht i dnt get is ow u cud com4tably contradict ursef!! u calld me a fool, den u sed i shd 'stop takin it personal'. i was talkin 2 stan abt stuff he sed wrong abt banky, and al u cud do is insult me. plus u clearly saw dat i sed d reviw was fantastic… cudnt dat giv u d slightest of ideas dat i wasnt talkin 2 him??? kah, nigerians
@Bayo pls forget abt dis guy who call himself music lover. Dat guy should be banky's boys or banky himself cos i dont knw how u get to knw what dat useless intro means. D fact is i still cant compare d album to Dare's underated or Wande coal's m2m. Thats just it. I'm expecting us reply o o banky a.k.a music love.
after finally listening 2 d W experience, i would like 2 1st of all take back my previous comment that dis review is a fantastic 1. b4 i continue, let me say that evry1 is entitled 2 his opinion and has d right 2 voice it whether it’s wrong or right. if its wrong, he/she’ll get challenged and if right, get congratul8d. we no dey military era naa! i felt strong tin was better than dnt brk my heart and my regret put 2geda because of their underdeveloped production. d beats sounded like one done in d plantashun boiz’ prime era of “Body and soul”. Completely outdated! dis is in reaction 2 adebayogroupie who says i am groupie luvin. if its ’til my dyin day’ or ‘know ur name’ we’re comparing wit strong tin den I’ll shut up, but not 4 ‘dnt brk my hrt’. I still say it again, and I know I’m not d only 1 that feels so… STRONG TING IS BETTA DAN DNT BRK MY HEART AND MY REGRET PUT 2GEDA!!!!
dis review is so unfair… b4 u crucify me, read what i have 2 say!
Even tho every 1 is entitled 2 his/her opinion, it is important that a writer of repute handling a music review should stick 2 d music and not wail about other personal inconveniences. With dis said, I’d like 2 say that Mr bayo acted UNPROFESSIONALLY in dis piece.
continued in next
First, d business of d writer is d music, not performing d role of the Nigeria censors board! He claims he dint buy d idea that Wizkid rendered vocals on a sexually charged song. Well, Wiz is a 19 year old. If he feels Wiz is under-aged, that is pure sentiment. Wiz is above 18 and is legally not below the ripe age! Naturally or legally there’s nothing wrong wit a 19 year old talking (or having) sex!! So Mr bayo’s views are completely personal… a stain on the article.
Plus, really, how many people know Wiz’s real age anyway!?! plus Mr omisore made another careless statement when saying why should he listen 2 Wiz and banky do a sexual song when there is d’banj. Seriously, so banky and wiz shouldn't record any sexual song all through their careers because d’banj has d “exclusive rights” 2 do that!?! Come on! If Mr bayo doesn’t like banky singing it, that's his personal problem!! We r not 2 b served wit personal stuff in a music review!? And what Mr omisore doesn't know is that most r&b singers have sexually charged songs (talk of Neyo, T-pain, Akon, Usher,Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, etc)
B4 I start my 2nd point, I want 2 say i have played d Intro track of dis album more times than any other track (aproxim8ly 16 times only 2day). Now dis is a track that Mr bayo out-rightly dismisses. I dont get y he dismissed it so much; cos it has, in d background, one of d best jazz tunes I’ve heard since Alicia keys’ “Diary”!!! he seemed not 2 like d “very well mixed” vocals, but he definitely cant touch d backing instruments! Yeah, d intro was sensual, but is Mr bayo writing 4 d church? If he was, ok den; but if he was writin 4 thenetng, something's wrong. Cos if there was something savory about d Intro, y should Mr O throw it in d dung? All of that was just 2 introduce u guys 2 d 2nd point. D intro of any album is, by default, a filler item. Its just 2 complete d numbers and isn’t usually taking seriously. There are very few albums with great intros. 2 buttress, I’ll say that there are many classic or excellent materials that either don’t have intros (take Asa for instance) or have rather boring intros (back when I rocked 2face’s Face2Face album, I always skipped d intro). Wit dis said, I want 2 question why Mr bayo decided 2 make a big show out of one of d most disregarded aspects of albums??? How, and I repeat, How can a talented writer like Mr bayo omisore write that “if I was 2 judge d album by d intro…” What?? Where on earth is that done? If it was of d 1st real track, maybe, but not of a mere Intro!!!!
With dis said, d majority of d criticisms on d album is not worth d fuss. If there were problems wit d song arrangements or his vocals (which of course, there were none), u talk. If not, dont bug us wit viol8d personal values or gist about d intro.
but Mr bayo omisore's MAJOR FAULT lies, eventually, in his only music-oriented criticism. check dis out: there are 14 real tracks on d album. his major criticism is that d album has 4 average tracks ('thief my kele' 'why' 'no b lie' 'tanker'). note that he points out 6 tracks as outstanding ('feeling it' 'Lagos party' 'cant stop me' 'strong tin' 'nobody' 'follow u go'). we can infer that d remaining 4 tracks can b classified as good tracks. so if 4 out of 14 tracks are average, with 4 being good and 6 being great, y do we still get an average album?? do d math. it means that even Mr bayo admits that over 71% of d album consists of good music. so how come d minority 29% gets d majority vote by d "I.N.E.C. chief" himself? dis review isn't even consistent wit itself. so he brings sentiments in by "implying" that tho d album is over 71% good music, it is still "not good enough DUE to d dizzying heights attained by d Mr capable debut". yep! inconsistency and unfairness it is. i still wonder which school of thought says 70%+ isn't way past pass mark!!
truthfully, I love d W experience album beyond doubt. i give d album 4.5 out of 5!! If u dint like it, sorry. Its not a 1-suit-fits-all world u know!? Everybody has his/her own views. Dis album is incredibly wonderful, and I can back it up wit points. If u feel otherwise, give me points too! Nobody knows it all. But don't use weak points 2 bring down an album of class like dis. Mr bayo omisore maybe a journalism juggernaut but is not superhuman and can make mistakes. We r all trying 2 get better @ what we do, and its cos I don't wanna b seeing all these kind of mistakes in future reviews is y I have decided 2 speak. in d mean time, i feel dis review should b yanked off dis website due to its many loopholes.
“I am the chosen one, Barak O-Banky”——culled from “Cant stop me”
@ Mr olas!
I honestly think u r confused – I dnt mean dat as an insult.
U r d one with the highest comment & yet am still trying to get d msg u r trying to pass across.
Yes u are right abt psquare selling their get squared album with loud music on d streets of lagos but trust me it was worth every bit of it! Even tho the Mr capable. Album is better dan d W experince, it is an insult for u to compare d get squared album to both of bankyz albums. For u information that same get squared album sold over 11million in nigeria alone, not to talk of the millions it sold within Africa, also it sold a million copies 6days after its release
A figure Mr. Baldiu’s both albums won’t even smell even after his next 2 album ( 1 million copies I mean).
Olas of all lines to highlite on album is ‘ I have a right to eat like a licence plate’ ok let’s allow dat pass but wtf is I need to marry mama kass? The bald fool is only expressing his sexual desires to mama kass all in d drive for patronage. When u r talking of word play lemme tak u bak to d days of good RnB music where tony toni tone said ‘ victoria will be no secret at the end of the day cos its our anniversary’ yea even tho its sexual d point is crystal clear & wen u eventually think of it, it makes a lot of sense! Rights cannot be linked to licence plates cos they do not entail ones personal details as much as a passport, drivers licence & even medical card! So bruv explain d point u were trying to buttress????
Give honor to whom honor is due I addmit banky has a voice & can sing but there r a million & one other things involved in music than having a good voice. Banky still has a long way to go period. Darey still remains Nigerias only true RnB artiste that is exportable because he know music can read & write musical notes & perform on stage unlike d white monkey in question here!
olas and music lover are the same people cant you see the similiarities they write with? Let the truth be said and stop putting Adebayo Omisore's write up down (That is for you music lover and olas) The W Experience as Brave and Akin have clearly said is just another album, there is nothing spectacular about it.
I think i will go with Akin on this that The W Experience is nothing we have not heard before. Mr. Capable is, so is Undareyted and M2M.. so music lover when you say this trash album is better than Undareyted and Mr. Capable, i just think you are being un neccessarily patronising.
Stan please take it easy on Banky W, we know you are telling the truth, but tune it down so fans like Olas and music lover dont kill themselves o.
This Olas person must be a child, we dont even know what point he is trying to make by telling us that this review is unfair. That the writer does not know what he is saying? or that he (Olas) is always right?
olas, i hope you know that what you think does not count at all. Mr. Adebayo is speaking for the critics and the music industry, and that is what counts you can take your sentiments somewhere else maybe not just ok. People here dont suck up, they say it as they see it.
Music lover, one advise listen to Mr. Capable again!!!
I think u are right Dare, if olas and music lover are not ready to say d true, they should go to notjustok.com where they appreciate useless album. We are ready to tell u how it is here. Pls go away if u dont knw anything abt music. I bought dis album with d hope of hearing something better but it was unfortunte. I think he should start prepearing for another album.
There’s a lot of creative licence that’s allowed artistes when they are stringing words together. It’s hard for me to see how anyone would miss the intended meaning of ‘I’ve got the right to eat like a licensed plate.’ When something is licensed it has absolute rights to do what it is licensed for. So it is actually a very deep analogy, perhaps not true to life, but good anyways.
@stan.
u stil make me laff!!! u dint get d line!! “i got d right 2 eat like a licence plate”. d “right” goes 2 d “license” and d “2 eat” goes 2 d “plate”. nw d’u get it? if u dint, chek dis out: “u sed u wnt an ‘afrodisiac’, but let me b ur ‘brandy’/take a walk up 2 my bar and take a ‘shot’ at banky”!!! tell me any darey line smell that (am expectin ur reply). dis guy is bad, and ur jus h8in!! and its obvious 4rm d way u insult him (and his fans) @ evry shot!!!
@dare, akin and adebayogroupie
u guys just dnt get it d’u??? adebayo is contradictin himsef!!! he says there r 4 average songs on d album and 6 outstandin songs!! if there r fewer average songs than good ones, why is it stil an average album??? i can prove it 2 u guys mathematically dat adebayo omisore givs dis album a 4/5!!! i just need y’all 2 dare me!! 3 dares and u get my proof.
in addition, cant u guys jus live wit d fact dat som ppl luv dis album??? must som1 dat luvs a banky music b an ass kisser??? damn!!
ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! HES JUST A WANNABE. AND Y ARE SOME PEOPLE COMPARING HIM WITH DAREY OR P-SQUARE? HE SHULD BE COMPARED WITH THE LIKES OF TOLU & OLU MAINTAIN DAT SNGS OTHER PEOPLE’S SONG TO BE KNOWN. HES JUST ONE OF THE NUMEROUS FEW NIGERIAN OPPOTUNISTS(POLITICIANS). “BANKY RIHANA” so girliee
i don't agree with this review; this album was concise and sweet; perhaps a couple tracks i didn't like (no be lie and why) but other than those, everything else was on point…banky's evolving folks, he can still do ballads (strong ting, so brand new) and he can still drop party joints (lagos party, tanker) so make una hear the album and judge for una self…i personally liked the intro, it offers something fresh so i dunno why it's being bashed by most people
"Tief my Kele" is actualy one of my best songs on this album. A big fan of Banky, I have his music even before he moved to Naija.. used one as a movie sound track. I think this album is matured and i like it a lot.
This goes out to those who said Banky featured teenagers on his album. You no de shame! Old man, What have you contributed to the entertainment industry? Skales is heading for a grammy and Wizkid killed the tracks omege u too much and tanker.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
