Fela Kuti didn’t just make good music; he made great music that could be expressed in terms of activism, culture, and life and even be sampled years after his death.

To this date, Fela is recognized as a spiritualist, Pan-Africanist, revolutionary, and the Father of Afrobeat music all over the world.

While he has been sampled several times by Nigerian Artists, Foreign artists have also made use of his discographies to create a record of their own.

• RELATED: Throwback Thursday: How Fela Kuti addressed Police Brutality in his songs

To honour Fela Kuti and his lasting impact on music, we’ve compiled a list of songs that sampled his work.

Whatcha Gonna Do- Missy Elliott, Timbaland

In 2001, Missy Elliot dropped “Whatcha Gonna Be.” It featured Timbaland, artiste/producer, on the song and sampled Fela’s “Colonial Mentality”.

Timberland had a good time on the chorus of this song from 2001. ‘Whatcha Gonna Do,’ as is typical of his work, departs from Fela’s concept of rawness in sound to reveal a raunchiness commonly found in nightclubs. Missy’s outlandish rap styles bolster the theme even further.

“Whatcha Gon’ Do” was released on Elliott’s Miss E… So Addictive album

Original

Sample

J. Cole- Let Nas Down

Fela’s music has got a strong following outside of Nigeria, who sometimes appear to value it more than Nigerians do.

J. Cole, a talented American hip-hop musician, sampled Fela’s song “Gentleman” on the tune “Let Nas Down.”

The song which appeared on his 2013 studio album, “Born Sinner”, peaked at number 55 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs of Billboard music chart.

The song begins with Fela’s stunning sax renderings and gradually transitions into fairly constant beats and smooth rapping. Fela’s sample colours J. Cole’s freestyles in bold strokes, despite the fact that their themes aren’t the same.

Original

Sample

Common, Lonnie “Pop” Lynn- Pops Rap III… All My Children

Common released “Pops Rap III…All My Children” in the year 2000, which featured his father, Lonnie “Pops” Lynn. When you first hear the song, you might not notice the Fela Kuti sample; in fact, it begins out sampling Erykah Badu’s “Next Lifetime.”

The delivery of Fela’s melodies in ‘Pops Rap III… All My Children is so subtle that it can be overlooked. However, a close listen reveals Fela’s relaxing arrangement hidden behind Pop’s pure spoken poetry and dreamy, sunset soul vibes. To make its mark, the music relies on a catchy riff from ‘Water No Get Enemy.’

Sample

Kelly Rowland- Hitman

Those familiar with Fela’s work will be able to determine the origins around the 3-second mark on Kelly’s Hitman.

She absorbs the instrumentation on ‘Mr. Follow Follow‘ hook, line, and sinker, and deftly sprinkles pop components.

It’s packed with head-bopping beats, but it can’t equal the soul conveyed by Fela’s sax.

Original

Sample

The Roots- I Will Not Apologize

After a chance encounter with Fela’s music, Questlove and his band, The roots a hip hop/neo soul band, formed in 1987 became fascinated with Fela’s sound.

Because of the band’s interest in Fela, their 2009 song “I will not apologise” sampled Fela’s “Grammarticalogylisationalism Is the Boss.”

As usual and on what everyone knows about J. Cole’s projects, buttressing on how it takes impending time to properly assimilate and digest fully before the final thought arrival.

However, The Off-Season came with all the delicacy he packed into it, so I couldn’t help but write down my first thought after a series of spins.

J. Cole has an influence for being a very quiet and humble guy, he only trembles upon a mic in front of him, expressively and pouring his candid heart out.

9 5 . s o u t h (hardest intro) Cole expresses from the depth, using key metaphors and powerful lyrics.

The intro covers a still-potent moments of reflection and highlights the rest of the body of work

“This shit too easy for me now Nigga, Cole been goin’ plat’ since back when CDs was around
What you sold, I tripled that, I can’t believe these fuckin’ clowns”

“I get up, dust my clothes off, sleep is the cousin of death No plans to doze off, the streets, it don’t come with a ref’ I never sold soft, just creeped where the hustlers crept And got they O’s off, you reach, niggas uppin’ like Steph To blow your nose off, gesundheit, and then resume flight”

Mid = 0.00

Average = 0.01

Good = 2.5

Excellent = 2.5

Conclusion:

Mp3bullet gives the project an 90% (Excellent) general rating

Battle of Hits/Verzuz is basically a battle between two artists in the same genre who pits ten of their best songs against each other.

It all began with American producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz having producers clash and from there it spiraled into an entertainment program that would see artists like Nelly, Snoop Dogg, DMX, Brandy, Monica, Teddy Riley, Babyface participating in the event.

In Nigeria, Artists and Producers weren’t left out of this. Sarz and Shizzi battled each other resulting in reactions from Social Media. This also led to more battle of hits like Mastercraft VS Pheelz, Rexxie VS Kel P, M.I Abaga VS Naeto C.

While the Battle of Hits wave has died down a bit in Nigeria, Mp3bullet.ng have put together a list of Artists we would love to see participate in this.

Wizkid vs Davido

This battle should it happen will shut the Internet. For years, Wizkid and Davido have been compared so many times that one can count.

At some point, these two artists engaged in a battle of words before reconciling. While much isn’t certain about the relationship between them, a battle of hits seems like a far fetched dream. But one can dream, right?

• RELATED NEWS: The 5 Best Nigerian Songs of the 2010s

D’banj vs 2Baba

D’banj and 2Baba are icons in their own ways. These two have produced hit songs way before Wizkid and Davido became popular. They contributed to what we know as Afropop.

They would need to do more than 20 songs as they have enough hit songs we can’t get enough of.

Omawumi vs Waje

Omawumi and Waje are both vocal powerhouses in their own right. These two queens can decide to sing new songs and we won’t mind.

Omawumi gave us hits like ‘If you ask me’, ‘In the music’, ‘Bottom Belle’ amongst others. WHile Waje serenaded us with hits like ‘Mountain’, ‘I Wish’, ‘Onye’, ‘Na the Way’ amongst others.

Styl Plus was Nigeria’s own Backstreet boys with hit songs like “Imagine That’, “Runaway”, “Olufummi”, “Call My Name”, “Four Years”, “Drive me Crazy” amongst others.

P-Square was the advanced version of Styl Plus but with an Afropop direction. They gave us hits like “beautiful Onyinye”, “Personally”, “Do Me”, “No One like You”, “Chop My Money”, Forever” amongst others.

We are not so sure what’s cooking between these two legends but we know whatever it is, it is definitely something huge to anticipate.

Don Jazzy also has always been fondly referred to as Nigeria’s Timbaland. Without a doubt, these two producers have a lot in common.

Both of them are the don – Baba jay is the biggest record producer in Nigeria, in fact, Africa, while Timbaland is one of America’s greatest record producers.

Many artists have been nurtured under their guidance. They have both created some of their country’s biggest artists.

While one founded MMG (Mosley Music Group), Jazzy is the boss of Mavins Records.

They’ve both been great mentors to their proteges in the industry and great influencers of this generation’s music and pop culture.
