In the literary meaning of sick, 2Face Idibia is not actuaally
lieing on any bed as baba is very hale and hearty, but it
actually took me a very long time to finally decide a title to
tag this epistle.
After listening to 2Face's new album Away and Beyond
for several days repeatedly, i cane to a conclusion that
2Face Idibia is very SICK, reasons of which are obvious.
This crowned King of African music is second to none. The
'African Queen' crooner who has immensely paid his dues
in the music factory is a god amidst meen.
Starting out as a member of the defunct Plantashun boiz
with Faze and the man with a Blackface, went on a solo
career in search of greener pastures. Back in the
Plantashun days, 2Face Idibia was very spectacular.
Although other acts in the group were excellent, but 2Face
was exceptional. His voice and lyrics always stood out.
It could be arrgued that the African Queen song that sold
him out wasn't written by him, but if the writer could have
done any better, ho wouldn't have handed it over to 2
BABA.
2Face Idibia the god has stood exceedingly out all over
Africa and the rest of the World. He's at the peak of his
career and only waxing stronger. He's the Messi of music.
His thought beats imaginations. He's not of the bootyn fast
cars good life lyrics school of thought, yet baba is still very
successful commercially which is a lesson for all up and
coming acts.
I wouldn't say that there cannot be another 2Face, i would
rather ask if the sun has beeen doubled. 2Face is a
directory to greatness. He is indeed an icon.
Although with his fair share of scandals, having had 6
children out of wedlock (still counting), i must emphasise
that success comes with its own challenges. I wouldn't sit
back here to write in support of 2Face's act, and at the
same time i would be bias not to condemn it because i
know attachments to stardom. Come to think of it, which
African woman doesn't want to bear a child for 2 baba?
Back to the music scene, take a good look at the Nigeria
music factory scene, when you think of a D'banj, there's a
Durella, when you think of Olamide, there's a Reminisce, a
Wizkid brings Davido to mind. Rugged man, Mode nine,
Terry tha rapman and others, 9ice brings into play Isolate,
Banky W and Dare Art Alade could be said similar.
Several upcoming acts now copy Terry G's style, and
Wande Coal is synonymous to Iyanya, Chuddy K and YQ.
But on the thought of 2Face, you won't argue that only
2face comes to mind. He's different intelectually and
lyrically.
Obviously, most producer get a different inspiration wheen
2baba is the client. Producers such as Ojb Jazreel and J
Sleek have never regretted working with him. This man is
indeed second to none.
What beats imagination more is how he puts normal
everyday situation into music undilutedly. On listening to
2face's lyrics deeply, it would be said that this man is
Away and Beyond.
2 baba has fondly called by friends and fans is one whose
humility cannot be compared. Sometimes he forgets he's a
celebrity and a star. He loves kids (no arguments), very
playful, jovial and friendly, i wonder why anyone would
want this kind of man dead?
Finally, i would say that though there's nothing new under
the heavens, but it will definitely take a while to find
another music maestro like 2Face. I will be glad to tell
generations that i lived in the days of 2Face Idibia. On that
note, i will say to you that 2Face Idibia is sick!!!
