His pidgin is the trenches pidgin, Benin accent. and that is why he's popular in Nigeria even tho many are not fans of his lyrics or songs in general, they like him still cus he's a breath of air....it's different and unique. We haven't seen somebody like him(a local Benin boy with his thick Benin accent) in the Nigeria music scene before. Good to have something new for a change.
Yeah bro, your correct, and this is where I give myself a credit for coming to realize his song.i remember early this year were I was wishing and hoping a Benin person will join the music industry and as God would have it shalipopi came out 🥳🥳🥳
To the none Nigerians: Never listen to afrobeats and think coz you are hearing the words, you know what they're saying 😂 90% of the time what they're saying isn't what you think they're saying
Okay so let me speak on Obapluto. The song sampled on Obapluto is called oba Ovonramwen nogbasi. It was a song made to tell the story of the oba of Benin that was taken into exile by the British soldiers during the benin invasion. So this Shallipopi version is basically reminding people of the great Oba Ovonramwen and why he is respected in the Benin Kingdom...
Chop breakfast as a slang actually originated from a scene in a local Yoruba movie in Nigeria with a legendary actor, Ogogo. He says “gbogbo wa la ma je breakfast” which literally means we will all eat breakfast but contextually means that in due time, everything goes around. The clip then surfaced on Twitter as sort of a meme to the idea that heartbreak comes for all. Then it went mainstream.
@@LaoluVWho asked you where the word was coined? It is no new to foreigners anymore because Burna Boy has used the word and its meaning explained. I don't know why we are making argument over nothing
Even i as a Nigerian doesn't understand everything he says cos he fuses Bini language(his mother tongue) with hard Nigerian pidgin in his songs. "Men mount" in this context means he's got strong/well-connected men as back up.
Obapluto is a very deep bini music. The original was a tribute to the Oba of Bini that was sent to exile by the British Empire after the 1897 invasion of the Bini kingdom. Do a some research about it, it’s very interesting. The older man in the video is the original singer of the song.
Evian is one of the historical forefathers' names. Rich in Edo history, Evain is the father of Ezomo, Ogiamien, and Uzama!! Shallipopi comes from the Uzama family in our Edo ancestry!!! You will hear him say...Na me I be one of them... Meaning I am one in that Evian family!!!
This is how we speak the pidgin English in Edo state 🇳🇬Nigeria. Every word is a code slang. It a mix of our local dialect which can be decoded by people from that state. Not every Nigeria can understand that particular Pidgin English code it's full of Slang, Riddle, Phase. The phase "Men Mount" means Men are Active/come. Elon Musk Boys means Rich-Guys. Every body must chop break fast means "You are going to be betrayed " The word Èvièá mean _______🤭___ 😂 Ain't gonna say until u pay a visit to Benin city Edo State 🇳🇬Nigeria.

Here is a breakdown of some of his lyrics At 2:14 to 3:40 .. 'Men mount oo.. Men mount' means 'the gang is active.. The gang is around' And the rest translates to.. "As there is an ongoing issue.. The only way we agree to have fvcked up is when our client is gone and the weed doesn't last long.. Everybody must get heartbroken.. To TAKE money from someone else you must get a payback.. I stole some money.. But due to the men in red I had to pay them back.. Leave shallipoppi alone.. Out of the way.. Let me take control.. When you're talking money then you're talking.. Voltage.. I'm feeling electrocuted.. I've got two bitches in the night club.. Gift 21.. let her like one.. Because pluto is active.. Then I took her to the room and started bending her like a benz.. " There's a lot to the lyrics.. The 'take' above is actually 'stealing'.. 😂.. The 'men in red', he was actually referring to a crime commission in Nigeria like the FBI called the EFCC.. And 'bending her like benz.. Is turning her into different s3x positions like the steering a benz.. 😂..
Ex convict Men Mount means mendem be ready to pull up cause they always active them, they're ready to pull up. Everybody must chop breakfast means - everyone must get betrayed one way or the other. The electricity part is him saying he is always very aware and tensed when they're talking about money, comparing the tension to that of a high voltage of electric shock Bend her is taking about how he can take her in different sex position 360 degree the way a Marcedes Benz wheel can be steered 360 degrees. Elon Musk. Is basically rich guys that see Elon as a mentor, how they are always trying to get richer and how wealthy they Are. Zlatan - is saying if you want the money you got to be ready to pay the price because nothing comes free. He's saying rich guys have money to spend, ordering Azul (expensive alcohol) and spending money clubbing. Oba Pluto rhe last song is a eulogy. He's praising the young men that are working hard to make money, he's saying it's in our blood to be great, we don't have to struggle for it. The song mainly praises Oba Ovoramen a Benin king who was usurped and exiled by the British army in the year 1897. He was a king loved by his subjects that was betrayed by one of his chiefs for favour with the British army.
Voltage is a funny way to I'm motivated, it's like when you're electrocuted you start jerking uncontrollably. The slang is trying to see I'm so motivated to accomplish my goal that I can't stay still. My personal theory over the meaning
Nigerian Pidgin hits different. It’s hard to understand if you are not a Nigerian. Even some Nigerians born in America and uk don’t understand it easily
Zlatan killed it he said no go put body if u no get mind means don't try to do something if you're not ready to risk then he said u 1 chop money u no 1 pay price omo nah there you go dey meaning you want to make money you don't want to pay the price for it, it is in that same level you will remain. Zlatan had the hardest verse
Obapluto is the greatest song to come out of Nigeria this year. It's more than the lyrics. It's the heritage. He got everyone in Nigeria, as culturally diverse as the country is to love and sing along to this Bini song. It is indeed a masterpiece. His greatest song so far
U need to know that nigeria has different type of pidgins, here he is using benin pidgin and lot of slangs also which will be difficult for you to understand and even some nigerians, but the slangs are common to nigerians.
I honestly love the review. 😁 He said some things in concentrated pidgin.. 😂 Expecially those used in edo state.. I'm a bini guy.. He said some things in edo language in the obapluto video.. One of the lines at 13:07 to 13:14 translates to "Don't take this route and pass on.. We are not after stress.. It runs in the veins.. Do you know me?" He was talking about the 'Evian' by the way.. And Evian means 'Charm or luck'
In the Oba Pluto, They speak a Nigerian Language called Bini. Bini people are a minor ethnic groups but so much popularity like a major ethnic group because of their rich culture and art. What shallipopi was say don't follow always be a follower like liability. That they are not looking for a job, it's in the blood (Like making money is in the blood) can you hear me? Then he started with small boy with big engine
Men mount is a pidgin slang meaning:my men are rich or my men are tough . All this Elon boys,BTC dey body means: All this scamming boys,have got huge BTC. The lyrics of the song basically talks about riches of guys that do scams,Forex and anything online that fetches huge sums . This is why the song is popular in clubs cos big time ballers get hyped whenever it is played
Men Mount ooo? Na wa. I thought I understood pigeon English until I started enjoying shallipopi music only to discover there are more levels above 😂🇳🇬👀
Men mouth means like presence of your gang members, dawgs, etc When they're a good number of them you say men mount (a good number of your dawgs are present)
Yo. Pluto means money. Pluto is active means the money is working and Elon Musk sef na Pluto boy means Elon musk has a lot of money and he used him because he is in relation with SpaceX to 8:26. I really wish you understood because Zlatan really murdered that song. You need to do a Zlatan vid, no

In pidgin everything na context. One thing different meanings just depends on the context.
Here is a breakdown of some of his lyrics At 2:14 to 3:40 ..
'Men mount oo.. Men mount' means 'the gang is active.. The gang is around'
And the rest translates to..
"As there is an ongoing issue.. The only way we agree to have fvcked up is when our client is gone and the weed doesn't last long.. Everybody must get heartbroken..

I catch that .. Thank you for clearing that up
Is so crazy that Nigeria citizen is in every country and when they hear there dialect they know it❤
Ex convict
Men Mount means mendem be ready to pull up cause they always active them, they're ready to pull up.
Everybody must chop breakfast means - everyone must get betrayed one way or the other.
The electricity part is him saying he is always very aware and tensed when they're talking about money, comparing the tension to that of a high voltage of electric shock
Bend her is taking about how he can take her in different sex position 360 degree the way a Marcedes Benz wheel can be steered 360 degrees.
Elon Musk. Is basically rich guys that see Elon as a mentor, how they are always trying to get richer and how wealthy they Are.
Zlatan - is saying if you want the money you got to be ready to pay the price because nothing comes free.
He's saying rich guys have money to spend, ordering Azul (expensive alcohol) and spending money clubbing.
Oba Pluto rhe last song is a eulogy. He's praising the young men that are working hard to make money, he's saying it's in our blood to be great, we don't have to struggle for it.
The song mainly praises Oba Ovoramen a Benin king who was usurped and exiled by the British army in the year 1897. He was a king loved by his subjects that was betrayed by one of his chiefs for favour with the British army.
The Elon is active - go play the ex convict original
Voltage is a funny way to I'm motivated, it's like when you're electrocuted you start jerking uncontrollably. The slang is trying to see I'm so motivated to accomplish my goal that I can't stay still.
My personal theory over the meaning
Nigerian Pidgin hits different. It’s hard to understand if you are not a Nigerian. Even some Nigerians born in America and uk don’t understand it easily
As a Ghanian i can see the shallipopi is inspiring most of our current musicians
Ghanaians are coming for shalippopi again. After they have failed woefully
He is what we thought Seyi Vibez would be😅
Zlatan killed it he said no go put body if u no get mind means don't try to do something if you're not ready to risk then he said u 1 chop money u no 1 pay price omo nah there you go dey meaning you want to make money you don't want to pay the price for it, it is in that same level you will remain.
