LESSONS TO LEARN FROM YOUNGSUCCESSFUL TALENTED ARTISTES;OLAMIDE IN FOCUS.

A good look at the music industry at the moment, it’s well
said that most of the dudes doing well are young talents,
who have given their hearts to music in a long time. These
dudes all have loop holes though, at the same time they got
somethings that have sustained and will keep sustaining
them in the music factory.
This epistle is for up and comings artistes to learn from this
young talented dude and see what has kept him in the
business. I took time out to research a few of these young
successful talents and i decided its time to take them one
after the other, starting with Olamide in focus. This dude
unknown to him has 7 key points worthy of note and
everyone who know him can attest to this. These are 7
lessons to be learnt from this Successful talented young
man.
- Humility: It’s well said by the yoruba’s that “Idobale ko
kin se iwa” which literally means in english that the fact that
you always prostrate doesn’t make you a person of good
behaviour. Time was taken out to study Olamide and how
he defines humility, after which i came to the conclusion that
he’s of genuine humility. Not one does he pay respect to
whom its due, but genuniely pays respect to everyone that
comes his way. I guess he must have butressed this attribute
of his fron Cabasa. One of those things that have kept
olamide in the music factory is this trait of his, HUMILITY.
This is one lesson to be held onto by up and comings to
learn and imbibe.
- FRIENDS and HUMAN RELATION: This is one trait you
won’t have if humility doesn’t come first. Sometimes, i get
to forget that this dude is highly celebrated. Olamide relates
well with everyone and instead of fans, he officially calls
everyone that loves him and his music friends. He follows
you on twitter without much ado, accepts your facebook
requests whenever he logs on, relates well on the streets.
- GOOD LOOKS and PHYSIQUE
Although Olamide doesn’t have the looks and physique of
Mr. Universe, he’s blessed with good looks and takes time
to work on his physique and dress sense. He’s almost a
dandy. This has gotten him a lot of friends, especially the
female folks. I have met a lot of ladies who have a very
strong crush on Olamide for whichh i’m very sure that his
good looks must have played a role in that. His aircut is
splendid. Dear upcoming artisite, let me be quick to share
this secret with you, once you got the female folks as friends
and fans, your sustainablity in the music factory becomes
very high (Wale Applause dint tell you this).
- STREET CREDIBILITY
This dude is very credible on the streets. His song though
connects well with everyone, but most people on the streets
connect better with his songs, as they always leave the
streets with a slang, with reference to ‘Omo to shan’ and ‘E
ni duro’. (Even the videos were shot on the streets)
- POWERFUL RHYTMS and RHYMES
Olamide is one of the artistes that i cherish do much for this
attribute. Not just because his rhymes rhyme, but they
communicate and always have a story to tell. He isn’t any
artiste that just rhymes, he is one of meaningful rhymes. All
his rhymes, quote me anywhere, communicates with the
audience and have a story to tell. He is one of the very few
artistes that care about his lyrics and use of words. He
doesn’t boast of the good life he lives, talking about fast
cars, binks and all and neither does he cry about booty and
boobs, but instead, he takes out good time to write and
deliver good lyrics to his friends. This dude is indeed here to
stay.
- STRONG LYRICS and POWERFUL USE OF WORDS
Not much is to bbe said about this obvoius attribute of
Olamide’s songs. Every music lover and friend of Olamide
and his music can attest to this. This dude who sincerely
doesn’t do any kind of drug and drinks neither is a natural
talent who always get his lines right, not just only on his
tracks, but even when featured.
GOOD QUALITY BEATS and PUBLICITY
Olamide doesn’t joke with these. He is always very careful
about the beat he spits on. Why won’t he, haven started
with the beat genuis Cabasa. Although very intelligent with
word, rhymes and all, he doesn’t take his friends for fools
bt delivering on wack beats. This dude as far as i know is
almost a perfectionist with beats, ask H-Code.
Olamide also doesn’t joke with his publicity. Even with his
busy shedule, hhe always endeavours to communicate with
his friends any chance he gets.
Al well said, Olamide is a successful young talent to be
looked up to by new arrivals and upcomings as he got
what is takes to always remain in the music factory. This
epistle which takes into focus young successful talented
artistes will next time divulge about why another young
dude ‘name withheld’ has sustained in the industry. For
now, from Wale Applause, i’ll again talk to you.
