  • 'Sexual Largess' Themes, Lyrics and Images in Nigerian Hip- Hop
    1 Sexuality and ‘Sexual Largess’ Themes, Lyrics and Images in Nigerian Hip- Hop Music Videos: A Content Analysis By Jemisenia John Oluwaseyi 08032070010 [email protected] & Ezenagu Nnedinma Roseline 08054805605 [email protected] Department of Sociology and Anthropology University of Nigeria Nsukka Abstract Sexual contents in the media have received great attention from scholars and researchers since the 1980s till present, regrettably very little has been done in this area of research in Nigeria, where increasing controversies have continued to trail the contents of videos that are shown on such terrestrial channels as Channel ‘O’, Hip-TV, Soundcity, Mtv base, and BET. Issues surrounding the rate of sexuality, sex, sexism, objectification, materialism, and the ‘good life’ (as it is shown on these music channels) have come under intense scrutiny by observers, commentators, scholars and the general public. Consequently, this study analyzed themes, lyrics and images bordering on sexuality and sexual largess in Nigerian Hip-Hop music videos on two popular stations on the terrestrial channels: Soundcity and Hip.Tv music channels between the periods of April to June, 2015. Through a multi-stage sampling technique, 132 videos were selected for analysis. Two independent coders were trained. The Cohen’s kappa (k) symmetric measure of agreement was employed in order to ensure the reliability of items. The Cohen’s kappa (k) for this study was 0.792. Altogether, result revealed that sexual themes, lyrics and images that are derogatory to womanhood are predominant in the analyzed music videos. The study recommends among others, enlightenment on the part of musicians/artistes on the need to promote messages of gender equality.

  • An Appraisal of the State of Professional Songwriting
    AN APPRAISAL OF THE STATE OF PROFESSIONAL SONGWRITING ON THE NIGERIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction Nelson (2010), making reference to a Music quote by Henry Giles, mentioned that “A song will outlive all sermons in the memory”. “Every song is like a painting”, Dale (2013) and every picture tells a story. Also, “Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty because Magical music never leaves the memory”, Beecham (2015). Songwriting may mean different things to different songwriters and at different times. Songwriting, like any other creative endeavor, can be meaningful in a variety of ways. So while there are some objective ways to determine “good” or “bad” when it comes to songwriting, it is also a creative space open to a myriad of options. “A Creative mind has the ability to make discoveries and create innovations”, Rivera, (2014). 1.1 Background to the Study The American Heritage Dictionary of English language, 5thEdition, (2013) defines a songwriter as one who writes lyrics or tunes (or both). They are often referred to as ballad makers, tunesmiths, composers - someone who writes the lyrics and usually the Music of Songs. To some extent a songwriter is much like a storyteller and the listeners are his captive audience. Most songs revolve around a central theme such as love, friendship, struggle, triumph, or other forms of experiences, etc. Every song tells a different story while each song usually contains an atom or 1 atoms of uniqueness which makes them differ from the works of other composers and songwriters.

  • The Contributory Role of Music Artist: an X-Ray of Major Satiric Preoccupations in Some Selected Contemporary Nigerian Hip-Hop Music Artist
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 4, Ver. III (Apr. 2015), PP 05-09 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Contributory Role of Music Artist: An X-ray of Major Satiric Preoccupations in Some Selected Contemporary Nigerian Hip-Hop Music Artist Maikano A. Lamela Department Of English, Gombe State University, Gombe, Nigeria Abstract:“If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it; that surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die”. This was Williams Shakespeare’s exact words in his absolute recognition to the importance of music to humanity. Similarly, every era in time is accompanied by music of its time, almost like an imprint that reflects a cultural reality always striving for aesthetics. Music is truly a narrator of what human beings have gone through and are still evolving to become. We would imagine that, without music, the human life span will be shortened because without music, our ability to emotionally express will be limited and that would be directly linked to our mental and physical health. Music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through, the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. We all have in one way or the other have listen to music in respective of the genre and perhaps some are addicted to music. Therefore, in appreciation to the role music have been playing in our lives that I seek to lend a telescopic in-depth diggingand exposition of the major satiric preoccupations found in the lyrics of our major contemporary Nigerian hip-hop artist.

  • Issn: 2278-6236 the Music Artist As a Social Critic In
    International Journal of Advanced Research in ISSN: 2278-6236 Management and Social Sciences Impact Factor: 6.943 THE MUSIC ARTIST AS A SOCIAL CRITIC IN NIGERIA’S CONTEMPORARY DEMOCRATIC EXPERIMENT: A STUDY OF SELECTED SONGS OF ADVISER NOWAMAGBE Barclays Foubiri AYAKOROMA, PhD, Executive Secretary/CEO, National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO), Abuja-FCT, Nigeria Abstract: Music, it is said, has a universal language. Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the late Afro Beat king, personified those that ardently criticised Nigerian leaders, especially the military. Songs like, “Zombie,” “V.I.P. (Vagabonds in Power),” “Unknown Soldier,” and “Beasts of No Nation,” lampooned the military mentality, likening them to robots that are remotely controlled. Sonny Okosun added his voice to the condemnation of the Apartheid regime in South Africa through his music. Tracks like “Fire in Soweto” and “Liberation,” were some of the pungent messages on the ills of Apartheid. This was just as his “Which Way Nigeria,” was a critical comment on the political direction of the Nigerian ship of state. In an era, where pop music has taken over the entertainment scene in Nigeria, and indeed the world, one thing that is worrisome is that most of the lyrics of songs have little or nothing to offer society, in the sense that they are just “all sound and no message for listeners”. But then, the approach of Adviser Nowamagbe, an Edo State born musician, is interesting. He has gradually become another Fela of this generation, in that he has made serious commentaries on the political leadership of, not just governors of Edo State, but also The Presidency.

    ESCAPIST DISCOURSE STRATEGIES IN THE LINGUISTIC AND NONLINGUISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF SEX AND SEXUALITY IN NIGERIAN HIP-HOP LYRICS AND VIDEOS BY ADEOLA OLUWAGBEMINIYI OJOAWO Matric No: 159565 B.A. (Ife); M.A. (Ibadan) A Thesis in the Department of English Submitted to the Faculty of Arts in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of the UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN JULY, 2016 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to the Almighty, who knew me before I was formed, and to the people I call family. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firstly, my appreciation goes to Almighty God who saw me through and indeed confirms his word in my life. He gave me the word “possible” and made me run by it. Special thanks to my parents, Dr and Mrs Bolanle Ojoawo. My father‟s life, as a scholar and goal getter, motivated me as a young girl and it has always been my dream to bag this degree one day. However, this dream would not have been achieved if my mother did not stand by me. She encourages me with her words, care, prayers and her “widow‟s mite”. I love you mum!!! My siblings: Akintomide Abiodun and Ayomide Abiodun, what can I do without you? I feel blessed to have you. Your consistent follow-up ensured no room for failure. I want to also thank my meticulous supervisor, Dr A.B. Sunday, for his patience, emotional intelligence, support, guidance, encouragement, advice and the confidence he had in me throughout my time as his student. I dare to say I have been extremely fortunate to have such a brilliant guiding angel, because completing this work would have been so difficult even unachievable without him.

  • NIGERIAN HIP HOP MUSIC AS an EXEMPLAR Michael Tosin Gbogi
    Pragmatics 26:2. 171-195 (2016) International Pragmatics Association DOI:10.1075/prag.26.2.01tos LANGUAGE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN YOUTH SUBCULTURE: NIGERIAN HIP HOP MUSIC AS AN EXEMPLAR Michael Tosin Gbogi Abstract Towards the turn of the 20th century, a new wave of hip hop music emerged in Nigeria whose sense of popularity activated, and was activated by, the employment of complex linguistic strategies. Indirection, ambiguity, circumlocution, language mixing, pun, double meaning, and inclusive pronominals, among others, are not only used by artists in performing the glocal orientations of their music but also become for them valuable resources in the fashioning of multiple identities. In this paper, I interrogate some of these linguistic markers, using four broad paradigms: “Signifying,” “slangifying,” “double meaning,” and “pronominals and ghetto naming.” Under each of these areas, I show how Nigerian hip hop music is creating—through the mediation of language—sub-identities and a new subculture for a generation of urban youth. Keywords: Nigerian hip hop music; Signifying; Slangifying; Language mixing; Double meaning; Urban youth subculture. 1. Introduction Despite the international expansion that Nigerian hip hop music (NHHM) has seen in recent years, it has unfortunately not been a subject of much scholarly attention. To the disadvantage of this relatively new, but most popular, music genre, scholarly interests have continued to fixate on exploring the so-called “classical” African musical genres— Highlife, Juju, and Afrobeat. Two major reasons may be adduced for this negative disposition to NHHM: One is the belief that this music is irretrievably meaningless (see Abati 2009; Christopher 2012; Anibeze et.
