Most people say Wizkid has been scared to put out a
new album, they might be right, considering the
album he announced today AYO had a solid 2 year
delay on it. He kept his fans wanting (Which might not
entirely be his fault). Now that he (Wizkid) & EME are
ready to release what he had previously referred to as
“his last album under EME”. Let’s take a few minutes to
analyze some reasons Why The New Wizkid Album
“Ayo” MIGHT Flop;
1. A Staggering 7 of the tracks have been released
already
So the 7 tracks that have been released out of the 19
total were great, pretty great. But, none of them was
actually a hit. So look at that for a moment, On top
your matter was great for a minute till it got boring,
same goes for Caro and Show Me The Money… They
just didn’t stick around long enough to do the rounds.
What’s to say this will not be the case for all the other
songs we are yet to hear on the album?
2. More song will likely still drop
It’s 2014, Nigeria has a lot of illegal content pushers
hiding under the umbrella of “Bloggers”. The moment
the album is out on iTunes (Or if EME really wants to
f*** it up Spinlet) people like Jambaze (Permit my
name dropping) will upload the entire album for free
download. They do it all the time. And the bigger more
popular blogs will simply pick one or 2 tracks that
have yet to be released into the general public and call
them “Our Track Picks” and then buying that album for
10 quid off iTunes becomes a problem, since you
already have 10 out of 19 songs available for free
download legally & the rest can just be picked off
blogs from Google illegally.
3. The Tracklist has nothing new to offer
Take a look at the tracklist again, Wizkid has had songs
with a host of people in the past but nothing on this
album seems new, or special for that matter. Save for
maybe Tiger on Show you the money remix. The rest
were quite frankly expected and unexciting. And that
is a bit disappointing to be very honest.
4. The Bandwagon & groupies need to settle down
Once the hullabaloo and the noise has settled over the
sheer excitement fans are feeling to finally see the
album near drop, people will soon start to reason the
album in itself isn’t going to be offering them anything
they aren’t already used to.
5. Knowing Wizkid, The album may still be delayed
further
We remember he announced this album dropping
June 12 some 2 years ago, we also recall it seemed
entirely out of his power. Either his EME oga’s are
trying to squeeze him for every drop of milk on this
album (in which case they might want to hold on to it
till Christmas) or he’s just pulling another Wizkid act
on us. Wizkid has been known to announce track drop
dates and keep his fans across the world waiting. Only
to end up not putting out said track and then dropping
it at odd hours many days after, it’s like a trademark
move with this guy. No surprises if he does it again.
Maybe I’m just hating, but I doubt I am. Every point on
this post has been carefully thought out. And I find
them completely valid. Wizkid vol-trons drop your
curses in the comment section (hint: I will not read
them) and like minds who see the truth in my words
please feel free to share your opinions as well. Let’s
just hope when the album does drop I am not right.
All we can do is hope.
