Denrele Edun's Emotional Tribute To Goldie

My super star friend sways away and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says "she's gone"...Gone where?

Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as gorgeous now as when last I saw her.
Her slightly disappearing figure and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
And just at that moment, when someone at my side says she's gone, there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout - There she comes! That is what dying is - An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

My lifeline, my lexicon, Therapist and support system…we have known lots of pleasure, at times endured pain, we have lived in the sunshine and walked in the rain. I had acute malaria (was shaking terribly) but performed "skibobo" with you at the Industry Night and Loud&Proud show; I sprained my ankle but still shot your three videos in a row in S/A.
I left my family house and moved in with you and your family right after all the Big Brother Africa madness, I did all the damage control….

I fought every organizer simply cos I wanted you on the bill with me and split my show earnings with you, I dragged you to the American Embassy even if it meant I had to get up at 4am. I endured negative criticism because shallow minds couldn't comprehend your brand essence – I started wearing block heels (you got me the most fabulous pair of Jeffrey Campbells) and I damned the consequences. I recorded the reality show "Tru Friendship" with you because you went on and on about it and I wanted to please you.
I have been your fierce-alter ego in all your videos, I have fought your fights, endured countless eccentric P.As with you…I can go on and on and this is how you leave me?

You chose an eternal sleep over a fabulous life withme? Lest I forget, I ate the entire box of birthday chocolates Bola sent to you!

Phew, I can't type anymore, I'm playing "Good To Me" (always disturbed you to release that song) and my notepad is a misty mass of my never ending tears. So sad when people who give you the best memories, become a memory!

The Goldie I knew, despite your success and worldwide recognition, still wondered, "Am I good enough?" "Am I pretty enough?" "Will they like me?" It was this burden that made you great…And that made you stumble in the end.

Goldie if you can hear me now, you weren't good just good enough – You were abso-frigging-lutely GREAT! You sang the whole damn song without a band- you made the picture of a showbiz star look so perfect!
Your parting has left a void, but I will fit it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss and oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Even though we are separated and for a time apart, I am not alone cos you're forever in my heart. I will move mountains to continue your legacy, I will crash ceilings to spread your good works, I will break barriers to sell your "market" but above all, I will cherish the awesome times we spent together…You will forever be my source of infinity!

We wore the same shoe size and had the same body proportions. You made me start strutting lashes and recall I wore that black dress of yours you never got to wear? No masterpiece can ever match your face!

To everyone reading this piece, let my dear friend rest in peace! Speak no evil about her, she was too good to be true!

I can hear you say to me…Mbirikoko, do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, Do not stand at my grave and cry…I am not there, I did not die!

PLEASE LET GOLDIE REST IN PEACE

Trying to sensationalise Goldie's marital status after her death is sad and an obvious failure on the part of some of the Nigerian press.

It is amazing that our press claims to know so much about the late singer's background. Her father's successful banking career and clergy status, her late mum's exemplary top management banking career and little Susan's involvement in the church. Yet, despite the one thousand and one interviews she granted, nobody seemed to EVER ask her in lifetime howshe got the name HARVEY, since her Dad and Mum don't bear that name.

Investigative journalism is now a thing of the past, only done by people who "are not so busy".
In these days of junk journalism and lazy copying and pasting in the name of 'blogging', it is no surprise that a lot of 'writers' would cast aspersions on her and insinuate a lot of negative things just to drive traffic to their blogs.
They would come up with screaming headlines such as 'Goldie's most hidden secret unveiled as husband shares intimate pictures', 'The many lies of Goldie', 'Goldie and her un-golden side,' 'The many things Goldie did not achieve …we planned to have a child this year – husband', amongst others.

But how many of them would take time to appreciate the woman who was able to successfully separate her marital life from her career? How many would find out if her true friends and close associates knew her marital status but chose to respect the vow of silence? How many would truly want to find out and respect the reason she chose to be silent on her marital status?

Let us be fair, let us be reasonable in trying to commercialise her death on the pages of magazines and blogs. Let's do a little finding out before the next post.
Personally, though I didn't think of her as a great artist, I respected her hustle, I respected her never say die spirit, I respected her desire to succeed, I loved Skibobo Ribobo and was hoping it would make her blow big time.

And before you ask, NO. She was not my friend.

TIPS TO SUCCEED AS AN INDIE (INDEPENDENT) ARTISTE

Not to be confused for artiste of middle-eastern origins, lollzzz. Indie is a slang term used nowadays and it simply stands for Independent.

Indie art is art produced by artistes independent of the mainstream, commercial, controlled distribution channels.

With recent stories and gossips flying around about artistes severing relationships with labels and music groups for more independent control of their material, it's clear that the indie spirit and culture is fast growing.
Let's not kid ourselves, going the indie route is not an easy trip, of course almost every one knows this, as almost every act usually starts out indie.

To be successful as an indie artiste, you need to work on the indie attitude. The indie attitude is all about having a cool conduct. Be random, be fun! BE YOURSELF, but cooler.

If you are quiet and introverted, don't just be the shy kids in the corner. Be the mysterious badass once in a while! If you're extroverted and outgoing, then just talk to other people! The best part about indie is the freedom to put out sophisticated and creative art that isn't bounded by rules.

Learning an instrument helps, especially because it helps people know you are passionate about what you want to do. You can just bring your guitar to places and strum a few chords.

The chicks or studs will be all over you I guarantee it. Being Indie is all about passion and alliance so get yourself out there, meet people who would believe in your art and help you on your way. 

Write and play quality music, after all you are not mainstream just yet anyway!
I wish you good luck!

The skillfully rendered song which is also aptly named, just makes 'chiefing' habits seem fun. May not be appropriate for younger audiences, due to the explicitness of its lyrical content, but it still stands out as being both attention-getting and equally a good dancefloor material.

Claro sees Slim Burna and his musical accomplice come out as straight

unique musical chemistry between the two is remarkably evident, and
also illuminating about the subject matter.

WHAT WENT DOWN AT THE 2013 EDITION OF STR8 UP HIP-HOP

WHAT WENT DOWN AS MI, JIMMY JATT, PAMELA BRAIDE, OBI ASIKA AND ELAJOE TOOK A STAND AT THE JANUARY 2013 EDITION OF STR8 UP HIP-HOP

It was indeed an enlightening session for Hip-Hop lovers and enthusiasts who gathered on the 23rd of January 2013, at the re-launch edition of Str8 Up Hip-hop, a monthly urban networking event for Hip-hop heads and intellectuals. The event which was themed ‘State of the union forum’, focused on a critical breakdown of matters arising from the book “There Was A Country” written by renowned author, Chinua Achebe.

The interactive session which was produced by Now Muzik En.Core in partnership with POP and Beat 99.9fm had as panelists; MI Abaga, Obi Asika, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Elajoe and Pamela Braide .

Spoken word artist, Sage, opened the event with a special presentation of a mind blowing poem. Brilliant orator, Andre Blaze who was the host of the event, held the audience’s attention with well prepared, thought provoking questions thrown at the panelist for elaborate discussion.

Among the pertinent issues deliberated on, were; challenges of distribution, scarcity and piracy of books and creative works, decline in reading culture, importance of ethnic identity to the Nigerian youth and the role of the Hip-hop community in nation building. Most importantly, excerpts from ‘There was a country’ were itemized and extensively discussed.

There was no shortage of information as the panelists made superb use of personal experiences, real life examples and illustrations to drive home their points which no doubt will remain glued to the hearts of the attendees. The youths were encouraged to learn to read and improve on their reading culture because the foundation of everything is the ‘written word’. They were also advised to harness the availability of e-books, since knowledge acquisition will make them stronger and better humans in any society they belong to.

‘State of the union forum’ edition of Str8 UP Hip-hop was a successful event and a testimony to the claim by some experts that “Hip-hop is positively linked to intellectual growth”. The panelists and everyone present lauded Now Muzik En.Core for such a noble initiative.

Now Muzik En.Core is currently putting finishes to next month’s edition of Str8 Up, Hip-Hop which promises to be a bundle of surprise , fun and enlightenment.

Now Muzik En.Core is an event affiliate of Now Muzik.
