"Ori mi wu o, e la'gi mo; e la igi mo!" (My head is swollen, bash it with a stick; bash it in). A brilliant comment on the sharp interface between genuine aspiration and the swollen-headeness that often accompanies its accomplishment. We should always sing that to our soccer players, whose short staying power in competitive football is partly a result of their swollen-headedness, and also to some of our one-album wonder musicians, who insist they are celebrities. Cobhams is a gift to Nigeria!
This song is an epitome of the current state of the music scene of the most UNDERATED country in the world, NIGERIA. Keep it up Peeps! This makes us proud to be affiliated with a great country like ours. WE SHALL GET THERE ONE DAY!
This is the way to do business...ROOFTOP MCS my hats off 4 u guys. What's happening in Naija everything's changing 4 d better... Nice one guys! Splendid work...
Great video, lovely sense with a message, revealing our individual struggles. Thanks to you Cobhams and Rooftop MC's and congratulations on ur album release.
"lagimo" in the context of the song means "break/puncture my pride". If you listen very well, you will hear something like "...Lord don't let it get to my head..." But "lagi mo" is a phrase that means "beat with wooden club"
if you have heard songs then u gat to know that this song is the BOMB.foor top,they re above the roof nd killin it.i love this song to my soul nd my family loves the song too.even my mum hummmmms the song cos she knows dat her boiz love the song.....
Beautiful!! I luv this song..... la gi mo directly means throw wood at it but in context it means like umm when u r being bad n ur parents like beat you to shape you up.
Nice. Real nice. Reminiscent of Kaunan Allah by SGT Plus ft Jeremiah Gyang. Wonder if Rooftop MCs had the same producers on Lagimo as SGT Plus did on Kaunan Allah. Perhaps they all merely sampled from similar sources.
Oh, that. Right. A lot of Nigerians do seem to have discovered or become partial to harmonious rock after the LPark/J-Z collab "numb/encore". The backing beat for Lagimo has more, though. Particularly interesting is the guitar riff that would not have been out of place in a classic western (cowboy movie). Kaunan Allah preceded Lagimo by 2 years and may well have influenced production on Lagimo.
