The document then applies Adorno's theory to analyze the popular Disney movie Frozen and its music.
The document discusses Lucy, an ancient fossil of Australopithecus afarensis discovered in Ethiopia in 1974. Lucy is around 3.2 million years old and is considered one of the most famous pre-human fossils. She provides insights into early human evolution and traits like bipedalism. Key details about Lucy include that she is 40% of a skeleton, was a 3 foot 6 inch tall female, and shows adaptations for both climbing trees and walking upright on two feet.

The Contributory Role of Music Artist: An X-ray of Major
Satiric Preoccupations in Some Selected Contemporary Nigerian
Hip-Hop Music Artist
Maikano A. Lamela
Department Of English, Gombe State University, Gombe, Nigeria
Abstract: “If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it; that surfeiting, the appetite may sicken,
and so die”. This was Williams Shakespeare’s exact words in his absolute recognition to the importance of
music to humanity. Similarly, every era in time is accompanied by music of its time, almost like an imprint that
reflects a cultural reality always striving for aesthetics. Music is truly a narrator of what human beings have
gone through and are still evolving to become. We would imagine that, without music, the human life span will
be shortened because without music, our ability to emotionally express will be limited and that would be directly
linked to our mental and physical health.
Music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through, the elements of
rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. We all have in one way or the other have listen to music in respective of
the genre and perhaps some are addicted to music. Therefore, in appreciation to the role music have been
playing in our lives that I seek to lend a telescopic in-depth digging and exposition of the major satiric
preoccupations found in the lyrics of our major contemporary Nigerian hip-hop artist. They have played vital
roles in the socio-political, educational, religious, and cultural nerves of this great country.
Key Words: Contributory, Satiric Pre-occupation, Contemporary Nigerian Hip Hop
I. The Origin Of Music And Its Foundation In Nigeria
The origin of music itself is very difficult because in all probability, it is likely to have begun with
singing and clapping or beating the hands on different surfaces, for which there is no of course no
archaeological record.
However, critics have argued that, between at least 60,000 and 30,000 years ago, ancient humans
experienced a type of cultural explosion – they started creating art in the form of paintings on cave walls,
jewelry and ornaments, and to bury their dead ceremonially. If we assume that these new forms of behavior
reflect the emergence of intentionality, then music as we know it must also have emerged at least during this
period.
Evolutionary scientists believe that a musical culture would have helped prehistoric human species to
survive because music coordinates emotions, help important messages to be communicated, motivate
individuals to support other group members.
To buttress this assertion, the oldest musical instrument ever discovered is believed to be the Divje
Babe flute, discovered in a cave in Slovenia in 1995, though this has been disputed. The item is a fragment of
the femur of a cave bear, which has been dated at 60,000 – 43,000 years old, which had been pierced with
spaced holes. Scientist who could not accept the possibility that Neanderthals were playing music rejected the
claim and said that the perfectly spaced and neatly carved holes are in fact the result of the home fragment
having been chewed by an animal. However, a general census that the Divje Babe flute is actually a musical
instrument has been growing as the view of the Neanderthals from subhuman brutes to more sophisticated
humans is changing.
In 2008, another discovery was made a bone flute in Hohle Fels cave near Ulmin Germany dating back
43,000 years. The five holed flute has a V-shaped mouth piece and is made from vulture wing bone. It was one
of several similar instruments found in the area, with others dating back to 35,000 years ago and made from
Mammoth ivory. The Mammoth-ivory flutes would have been especially challenging to make. Using only stone
tools, the flute maker would have had to split a section of curved ivory along its natural grain. The two halves
would then have been hollowed out, carved, and fitted together with an airtight seal.
The cave in Southern Germany contains early evidence for the occupation of Europe by Homosapiens
on announcing the discovery, scientist suggested that the “finds demonstrate the presence of a well-established
musical tradition at the time when modern humans colonized Europe”. They suggested that music may have
helped to maintain bonds between larger groups of humans, and that this may have helped the species to expand
both in number and in geographical range.

The music of Nigeria incudes many kinds of Folk and Popular music, some of which are known World
Wide. Styles of Folk music are related to the multitudes of ethnic groups in the country, each with their own
techniques, instruments, and songs. Little is known about the country’s music history prior to European contact,
although bronze carvings dating back to the 16th and 17th century have been found depicting musicians and their
instruments. (1) The largest ethnic groups are Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba. Traditional music from Nigeria and
throughout Africa is almost always functional; in other words, it is performed to mark a ritual such as a wedding
or funeral and not for pure entertainment or artistic enjoyment. (2) Although some Nigerians, especially children
and the elderly play instrument for their own amusement, solo performance is otherwise rare. Music is closely
linked to agriculture, and there are restrictions on, for example, which instruments can be played during
different parts of the growing season. The people of the North are known for complex percussion instrument
music, the one stringe“Goge”, and a strong praise song vocal tradition via a strong Muslim influence dating
back to the 14th century while the Igbo people live in the South-east of Nigeria, play a wide variety of folk
instruments. They are known for their ready adoption of foreign styles, and were an important part of Nigeria
highlife. (3) Their instruments are the most widespread 13-stringed Zither, called an Obo. They also play slit
drums, xylophones, flutes, lyres, Udus, lutes and more recently, imported European brass instruments. Similarly,
the Yoruba have a drumming tradition with a characteristic use of the dundun hourglass tensions. Yoruba music
has become the most important component of modern Nigeria Popular music, as a result of its-early influence
from European, Islamic and Brazilian forms. However, my concern is not with the traditional music nor popular
music but contemporary Hip-hop music.
II. The Early Penetration Of Nigerian Hip-Hop Music And Its Founders
Hip-hop music was brought to Nigeria in the late 1980s, and grew steadily popular throughout the first
part of the 1990s. The first acts included Sound on Sound, Emphasis, Ruff Rugged and Raw, SWAT ROOT, De
Weez and Black Masguradaz. Moreover, mainstreamsuccess grew later in the decade, with attention brought by
early hits like the Trybesmen’s “Trybal Marks” (1999) and the trio Remedies “Judile” and “Sakoma”. One of
The Remedies, Tony Tettula, went on to work with Plantashun Boiz to great commercial acclaim. The 1999
founding of Paybacktyme Record by Solomon Dare, popularly as Solodee, Kennis music by Kenny Ogunbe,
Dove Record by Nelson Brown, Trybe Records by elDee help redefined and establish a Nigerian hip hop scene.
Also, the general rapid growth of the entertainment scene with support fromthe media helps popularize Hip-hop
music in Nigeria. Television programmes like Videowheels, HipTv, Music Africa, the MTN Y’ello Show,
Nigezie, Soundcity played a major role. Other prominent Nigerian Hip-hop musians include Ruggedman,
former member of the Remedies Eedris Abdulkareem (who had a well-publicised spat with the American star 50
cent), Weird Mc, Naeto C, Twinx,2 face, Young paper boyz, Jay Ikwan a.k.a the Megajay and P-square.
In the past few years, Hip-hop has made a huge leap forward in terms of exposure and success of its
artist. Around the decade of the 2000s, more Hip-hop artist Sprang up and they include;Olamide, Vector,
Reminiscie (musician) (who was name as one of Time Magazine’s seven international rappers to meet), Ice
Prince and M.I (Ice Price and M.I are label mates). These are few names out of the many but however there
other music artist for instance rappers, highlife, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Afrobeat and reggae who have been consistent
in their creative enterprise thus making their contributions in the world of music in Nigeria. They include A -Q,
Sunny Ade, Yemi Alade, Eva Alordiah, Asa, Banky W, Blackface Naija, Burna Boy, Chidinma, D’banj, Da
Grin, Stella Damasus, Davey, Davido, Safin De Coque, Tonto Dikeh, Dr Sid, Duncan Mighty, Omotola Jalade
Ekeinde, Faze, Flavour Nabania, Emmy Gee, 2face Idibia, Iyanya, Jesse Jagz, Tamara Jones, Fela Kuti, Femi

Patoranking, Shina Peters, Phyno, Tiwa Savage, Seyi Shay, Skales, Timaya, TolumiDe, Weird Mc, Wizkid and
Young6ix.
III. Socio-Political Roles, Lessons And Satiric Preoccupations In some selected
Contemporary Nigerian Hip-Hop Music
The writer, the artist and the journalist, as mirrors of the nation’s ethos, [must] see [music] as a source
of mobilizing and uniting the populace towards the struggle for a better future. [They must] feel that in a chaotic
and fragmentary society like Nigeria it is important to use [music] as a means of enlightening the populace. The
truth however is that, without a conscious effort of mobilization, we cannot hope to shake our people out of our
old habits of needless hysteria, political cynicism and economic cannibalism, and create a healthy and enduring
national ethics. Hence we need to mobilize the artist, but not alone with other citizens the artists song will gain
wide acceptance only when the community sings along with him, it is when the other citizens add their voices
that the song, born out of the artist’s solitary genius, can turn finally into a communal property, and become
collectively regenerating (Tadi, 51).

Like writers, contemporary hip-hop artists are speculative thinkers, they persistently demonstrate that
they have vision as such they as seen as redeemers. They believe that they possess an inner light unavailable to
the mass of their people, and that their duty is to use their inspiration and creative insight to guide their society
towards a beautiful future. For instance, Ice Prince who has been sympathetic with Nigeria, how badly things
are turning. In his song “Tears for Nigeria”, he eulogizes the gloomy and melancholic helmof affairs in his dear
country, Nigeria he sings.
There’s too much sadness you know everywhere… sadness
Yes of course there is too much sadness; this artist has within his capacity perhaps taken a good look at
Nigeria. The country is at war with itself, killings and shedding of human blood; human life is of no value.
People and perhaps the country have loosened its grip as such the inhabitants do not longer rely on government
for safety but rather prayers. Ice Price equally agrees with this as he sings:
This artist finds consolation in prayers only as an answer to Nigeria unending problem. He goes on to ask
several questions that surrounds the wicked atrocities unleashed on the human race:
Here we are led into a world that is full of scandals, of ferocious and destructive beasts, symbolic of the
ruthlessness of the country. This artist seems to assume the responsibility of a writer who is committed to
society; he uses his art to reflect on the burning problems of the day and perhaps passionate in his recreation of
the society.
Similarly, one contemporary hip-hop artist who has devoted his music to commenting on Nigerian
society is Eedris Abdulkareem. In his album “Mr. Lecturer” where he chronicles the degeneration of the
nation’s socio-economic and political structures, he titles one track Nigeria “Jagajaga”, a term literally meaning
a state of disorderliness and chaos. He sings:
Due to the biting satiric thrust of the lyrics, Eedris was reported to have incurred the wrath of Nigeria’s former
president, Chief Olosegun Obasanjo, who scolded him for portraying Nigeria in negative terms.
Oyetayo,(2006:52) reports:
The song was said to have touched a wrong chord with
the president who reportedly thumped the artiste’s head
When he visited Aso Rock, the seat of power, with the
Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria,PMAN.In
his response, the president reportedly told Abdulkareem.
“It is your Papa and Mama that are jagajaga”.
Thus, in a subsequent album title “Letter to Mr. President, “Eedris attempts to shed light on the import
of the signifier” “Jagajaga”; and the degeneration that has permeated Nigerian society, pointing out that his
4. The Contributory Role of Music Artist: An Xray of MajorSatiric Preoccupations in Some ….
DOI: 10.9790/0837-204XXXXX www.iosrjournals.org 4 | Page
lyrics are a reflection of the realities that require urgent solutions. Specifically, he cites the endemic social vice
of corruption which must be fought for the nation to develop.
Therefore the concerns of Eedris are given expression in the lyrics of another new breed of musician
but this time reggae, Chinagorom Onuaha, also known popularly as African China. In his first album titled
“Crisis”, he labels the Nigerian government as ‘bad’ for their perceived insensitivity to the plight of the ordinary
people on the streets. Writing on the satirical thrust of African China’s message, Oyetayo (2006:53) comments:
The track,our government bad,is a satirical x-ray of the
penuriousstate of citizensoccasioned by perceived
insensitivity of the government. He opines that there are
no job opportunitiesforthe ghetto man and if he
eventually getsone, it would now be a battle for
survival. Ingeniously blending reggae tunes and social
tapestry, African China is unsparing in his caustic
criticism of the government’s anti-people policies which
has left Nigerian more impoverished than ever.
In his second album titled “Mr. President”, the musician continues his musical preoccupation,
expressing his disenchantment with the lack of basic social amenities such as water and good roads, coupled
with the appalling scarcity of food in Nigeria. The musical social critic thus calls on the president and his team
to attend to the problems, and put Nigeria on the right track so those at the grassroots level can benefit from
good governance. Other popular artistes represent this new breed of Nigerian musicians, including Augustine,
Black Face,Ahmedu, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti (The son of Fela Kuti), Tony Tetuila, and Lagbaja.They have, in
their own ways, used the medium of music to reflect on the socio-economic conditions of Nigerian. However, it
should be pointed out that the current relevance of their music is tied to the history of popular music in Nigeria
where Fela Anikulapo Kuti’sAfrobeat holds swag.
Amidst difficult challenges, these artists have continued to persistently expand their creative experience
as they sort to pave way for a remarkable change in the country. Again, one may be surprise when you watch
some of the videos produced by these artist, you begin to wonder whether truly these artists are product of the
perceived insensitivity of the government. They portray themselves in a manner that demonstrates a free nation
where “peace and justice reign”. Krystal et al (2013) reminds us that: With the globalization of hip-hop and
digital technologies as well as commercially lucrative path paved by the Nigerian film and hip-hop industries,
young people are capitalizing upon new avenues for the expression and production of re-mixed and re-imagined
cultures. Though the African continent continues to be plagued by political and economic instability, the field of
[music] is one cause for optimism, as African youth, more than ever, are cultivating a spirit of ethnic, national,
continental, and/or racial pride through popular culture, even when there is a disconnect between this realmand
the social and political and economic instability, the field of music is cause for optimism, as African youth,
more than ever, are cultivating a spirit of ethnic, national, continental, and/or racial pride through popular
culture even when there is a disconnect between this realm and the social and political sphere. Emenyonu,
(2010) adds. How do we transmit a national culture to Nigerians if not through works of imagination? This is
something that our people have not paid attention to and perhaps music is one of it.
Nigerian hip-hop artist have performed the inviolable task of ‘educating’ and raising awareness in
Nigerians – rulers, leaders, the masses and the general public alike, on the issues of national malaise and the
quagmire into which the nation has remained deeply steeped.
Apart from the satiric portrayal on the national issues and the quagmire Nigeria has immersed herself
into; hip-hop artists have for some time been deeply committed to the cause and destiny of the teaming youth,
the need for self-emancipation, self-empowerment and self-reliance has also been demonstrated in D’prince’s
5. The Contributory Role of Music Artist: An Xray of MajorSatiric Preoccupations in Some ….
DOI: 10.9790/0837-204XXXXX www.iosrjournals.org 5 | Page
Here D’prince seems to reckon with Emenyonu (2010) assertion in his recognition to the contributory
role of the artist. The African writer [and music artists] is expected to be part of his or her society, not live on its
fringes; share in the triumphant celebrations as well as the sorrowful heart aches of the society. Those constitute
the human conditions which are recaptured in African creative works. The contemporary African writer [and
music artist] should be no different in theory and practice, from the oral performer in the traditional African
society. The circumstances and nature of present-day realities in Nigeria demand that the writer [and music
artist] confront these issues with courage and forthrightness for the good of posterity. Therefore, D’prince in this
song has echoed a strong call to the teaming youths of Nigeria for the need to be self-reliant as the era of
dependency has elapsed. The need to be industrious is the bane and of course thematic thrust of this music.
IV. Conclusion
In my opinion, people are lacking in the sensitivity to appreciate the veritable values of music in
general. Contemporary Nigerian political leaders, rulers, and education policy makers have underestimated and
neglected (to our national peril) the positive contributions which music can make to the physical, mental, moral
and spiritual development of any nation. People are so concerned with the negative and one sided
misrepresentation of music artist; most especially through what we see on the videos. The nude dressing is what
scares people and perhaps results to the Luke warm attitude and low patronage to music. I think people must
have a rethink in their attitude to music because there is sense in what we hear as “nonsense”. These artists have
in a way offered their gifts as something solid and permanent that put into the people’s consciousness. That is
what we hear, what and we love. The stimulating effect of music in this respect is overwhelming for music
reaches were more words cannot, to the soul and mind, to reawaken the people’s consciousness and recapture
fading values. These contemporary hip-hop artists are ambassadors in their own making as they use musical
form to shape images of society in the face of drifting values.
