Poor Acceptance: “get Another Job Or…”, Rugged Man Replies Mode 9 by Swaginton(m): 9:45pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
Last week’s emotional outburst from rapper Mode 9 “I released an album and nobody cared” has gotten a blunt reply from fellow-rapper Rugged man… ‘Get another job or adapt’ he tells Mode 9. Rugged Man was speaking on Hot FM’s breakfast radio show and did not mince words. He said “Mode 9 is not the only one that does the non-commercial kind of rap. Basically if you are an entertainer you can’t do music for yourself that’s why you are an entertainer. Rugged Man ‘IF People you are made to entertain are not entertained, you should do one of two things…get another job or adapt’ am not saying this to be funny or anything’. If something is not working anymore the least you can do is try and adopt to what’s up’ ‘Even in America at a point it was all Eastside …then Westside, you can’t do anything about it, if you can’t shape up, you shape out’ ‘I actually started writing ‘ehen’ song in English but paul play advised me ‘you are in Nigeria, make music for Nigerians, add the local language so people could understand, I put a little comedy to it by bringing in Normoloss, ‘It’s not about how good you are but how smart you are. I have said it ‘i don’t want to be ‘he can rap kinda artist’ but ‘to be a successful artist’. ‘Switching your style doesn’t make you any less of a human cos at the end of the day ‘what you have achieved is what would be asked. Mode 9 had recently lamented the neglect of his type of non commercial rap saying that He dropped an album ‘alphabetical order’ earlier this year and no one cared. |

If after spending millions of naira on marketing and promotion of my artiste all over the country which includes media houses (tv, print & radio) placing of singles on mix cd's and all what not yet i still dont make returns on my investment, then my guy im "lettin you go" i cant kill my business because i like your music. To all those mode 9 fans who will come out speaking jargons i implore you guys to actually BUY his album & pay for shows instead of doing free downloads from the internet. Ok |
