Nigeria Hip hop artiste, Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, popularly known as Vector, has urged the public not to rate Nigerian rap music by American standards.
According to Vector, rap music is usually unique to a people as it tends to focus on their history, experiences, culture, and tradition.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Friday that rappers owed the listening public the responsibility to produce good music for their listening pleasure.
“The purity of Hip-Hop is dependent on the person doing it. A Frenchman can only do Hip-Hop in a pure French form, so somebody who is doing Hip-Hop right now can only do, like me I’m only doing Hip-Hop how I know how to do Hip-Hop. Is it pure? To me, yes.
