MAMA Legend – Miriam Makeba (South Africa) ... I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

           now for my extra opinions,

 there should be more categories like best rap artist and best RnB categories.

Talking about Nigeria, I'd really like to see eldee, bez, MI, ASA(na wa she no even dey there sef) and other good musicians win some awards. I know some of them are already internationally recognized but its only wise that we recognise OUR own TOO.

      Congrats to all the artist that won but judging from the list of nominees list, its either 
A. Africans don't know yet what good music is 
B. we are always over hyping some artist that don't deserve it 
C. the people behind MAMA have to start checking the credibility of the award show!!

The show is going to air on Saturday, December 18th, on MTV Base and there'll be a repeat performance on the  19th. Be sure to check it out.

once again congratulations to all the winners

much luv,

dangel eyez.
