I drew so much inspiration from the works of this great man. As a 7-year-old boy when Pakute Olohun was released, I could render it from A-Z and understood the message clearly. People would call me from everywhere in my neighborhood to render the poetic song. I always find Baba's work unimaginably original that I would not believe anyone was equal to him in this line though someone told me there was a man called Opadotun I have never had an opportunity to explore his works, therefore in poetic arts Olanrewaju was my GOAT and will probably remain so because I still find flaws works of modern-day poets. I pray that Allah rest the soul of Baba Adepoju and be with all he left behind.
