Mr. Lecturer

Eedris Abdulkareem made his first mark on the climb toward pop stardom as part of the hip-hop/r&b group, “Remedies” with Eddie Montana, but seeking the usual “creative freedom” and “improved margins,” moved as a self-named solo act.
I’m still undecided on where I stand with Eedris as a personality (his stunts and words about fellow musicians have been grating at best, but that’s probably best left for another post) but his productions can be creative, fun and socially-minded. This is best seen in the comedic presentation of “Mr. Lecturer,” where he satirizes University Lecturers while bringing about an awareness of sexual harassment. Because I previously knew little about Eedris, at first glance the message of the video wasn’t clear until the very end.
Eedris is fantastic on the music video, but the music is barely passable. Not only is the musical composition & instrumentation pretty poor, the audio levels are pushed to the point of clipping (blaring audio… think shouting during a Naija film.) If you’ve heard the Mr. Lecturer remix, you’ll see that it’s a big improvement on the original.
Regardless, I commend Eedris for taking a stand on a social issue and using his platform to send this important message against sexual harassment.
“I dedicate this video to every woman out there. If your lecturer or boss harassed you sexually, don’t hesitate tot tell you parents or call the police immediately.
Help put an end to sexual harassment.”
*Watch out for Part 2*

Mr. Lecturer
Note the “watch out for part 2″ slipped in at the very end… this notice applies for me as well! But for now…
Check out the video and video stills in the gallery.

with no real interest in controversy (interest piqued anyway) did Eedris ever reply the Ruggedman dis?
June 29th, 2005 at 4:07 pm
To my knowledge, Eedris has yet to reply to ruggedman’s comments which were in reply to Eedris’ original running off at the mouth.
