It's hard enough for female lyricists to see success in the music industry, so when two of Africa's finest join forces on one song, you've got to pay attention. This hot collabo - from Nigeria's own Sasha and Mozambique's Dama do Bling - is a certified banger. Coming in at number four on afiive's The Flow is Put it Down.
An MJ song that needs no introduction. Another great video and the drama was super fly. I remember watching this video back in the day with my little brother, mesmorized.
Fun Wikipedia Fact about the song: MJ wrote the song in response to his mother, Katherine, who requested a song with “a shuffling kind of rhythm."
The full-length story version of Bad is actually almost 18 minutes long, but length never really mattered when it came to Michael Jackson's music. You always wanted to see the whole thing. From the popping to the fake knife fight, the dramatic cinema and the edgy lyrics of Bad were testaments to MJ's magic.
First up: The song was fantastic...but the video? Perfection. Check out Eddie Murphy, Iman, Magic Johnson and the man himself - Michael Jackson in Remember the Time.
Hmm, seems like CNN has picked up on something we've known for quite some time: The Naija music scene is on fire right now! Artists like Asa, P-Squared, TuFace, Timiya, Banky, Naeto C, D'banj and many others have taken traditional sounds and lyrics and have made it their own. With concert payments and CD sales in the upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars, it's clear the fans like what they hear. Check out the CNN coverage above and for anyone looking for a good compilation of contemporary Naija music, download the Green October Project (Read more about it here)
