Rapper Eedris takes a swipe at the contemporary Nigerian musicians and their "quack" music.
In a recent interview with Vanguard,he said:
"The music they play today is always talking about boobs, booty and all that. For me, i think music should be educative, it should be a platform where you can educate people. Some wouldn't even know what education is all about but when they listen to music, the learn. If you listen to my music 12 years ago, i talked about the ills in the society."
"I also remembered when i came back from Egypt, when i represented Nigeria at the Olympic Tourch with Prof Pat Utomi, late Dora Akunyili, Chief Olusegun Odegbami an others.
I came back and sang about the ills in the society. "Mr Lecturer" was one of then "Jaga-Jaga" was another. Those are the kinds of songs that i do and for me, i think that is the best wasy to educate people. There are lots of things to talk about ; there is rape, there is insecurity and lot of more things to talk about.
So why will i waste my time singing about boobs and booty? It's crazy." He said
