Kendrick is far from abstract... He is not even on the same continent with abstract. Anytime I hear GKMC, its like I am him cos the pictures are so Vivid.. The skit at the end of the songs just made it more real.. I have never heard this kinda comment on Kendrick my entire 'hiphop life' and about Control... Dude killed that song.. I heard all the response to control including Cassidy. I know JCole is hot buh I never liked the dude anyways. You should goan listen to See No Evil Ft Kendrick - The Game. I am a die hard Eminem fan oo buh when I see true talent, I salute nii.. Kendrick is Talent.

That's what these so called rappers don't get... His verse on control isn't beef.. Its a wake up call. Listen to the song, he aint beefing anyone.. And on Good Kid Mad City... Bro, I don't mean any disrespect oo buh you didn't listen to the album.. The whole album is actually a 'short movie'.. Every song tells a story. The first track was how he met Sherene.. Every song on the Album is like a scene in a movie.. Pls goan listen to the album again. The 12min long 'Sing About Me, I'm dying of Thirst'... That isn't abstract at all.. Pls take time to listen to the entire album again..

Check out the top 10 best rappers in Nigeria:

(1) MODENINE


One of Nigeria’s top rappers for more than a decade now, released his first album Malcolm IX in 2004.
He pioneered the ”Underground Hip Hop” tag for a long time and has hit songs which includes ”
Africa, Cry, Elbow Room, It’s About To Get Ugly, Rock On, Pain, 419 State of Mind,
Lagos State of Mind & Fellow Nigerians, just to name a few.

He is known for his raw delivery, conscious lyrics, battle raps, metaphors & similes. His style is similar
to one of Hip Hop’s legends KRS One. He epitomises underground Hip Hop in Nigeria.
He scaled the heights after hitting the limelight with mega smash hit ”Cry” from the album
”E Pluribus Unum”.

Top Songs: Cry, Africa & Lagos State Of Mind.

Flops: Oga, Okokomaiko & Fiyah Burn

Criticism: Too much similes on a track which makes it lose it’s subject matter, loud unpleasant delivery
& on rare occasions poor beat selection.


(2) M.I


Mr Incredible, Nigeria’s accclaimed ”Rap Messiah”, dropped his EP ”Illegal Music” in 2009, after
which he exploded onto the music scene with the amazing album ”Talk About It” and has hit songs which
includes Teaser, Talk About It, Area, Fast Money Fast Cars, Money, Nobody & Action Film, just to name a few.

He is known for his husky delivery, multisyllabic rhymes, metaphors & has the tendency to sing. His style is
similar to Lil’ Wayne & Kanye West. He is one of the leaders of today’s new school Hip Hop in Nigeria.
The song ”Safe” from the album ”Talk About It” brought him to the limelight.

Top Songs: Nobody, Teaser & Money.

Flops: Craze, Seven Days & My Head My Belle.

Criticism: Tries too hard to rhyme so he ends up saying non-existing words, he isn’t a spectacular singer and
should stick to just rapping.

Oh.. I have listen to a fair share of 'other rappers'.. As I said earlier, I am a die hard eminem fan. I once had over a hundred rap album.. Everything from Illmatic to Reasonable Doubt, Chronic Infinite and the rest.. So anytime you can give me one Kendrick song that you think the lines don't relate to life, pls holla.. Ill really like to listen to the song.

Imagine I heard illbliss music on a radio station....nigga feeling like Real.Mccoy#Rickross.....rozay what a mediocre to hiphop........illbliss giving a punchline like "blackberry contact longer than your IQ" I was like what's this fuckery about dawg?

If I'm going to hear any new school rapper that touches life,give me JCOLE.....I don't need kendrick lamar dude is hiphop but his music at the end doesn't makes sense doesn't relate to life in the real sense

Or take it back to scarface,jadakiss,fabulous! Etc that was passion for the game!

I feel you up to k.dot, have you heard hiipower, A.D.H.D, swimming pools, Art of peer pressure, the recipe among others. His song are all about real life ish. Kendrick, J.cole and Nas still ma favourite and Pusha T got that crack music to lift your spirit. Just to remind you Kendrick still got the best verse of the year.

Its not that he does not relate to life but he uses metaphor heavily even in his video. You have to be a core rap fan or even a rapper to decipher his lines. To the common rap fan "biatch don't kill my vibe" video would be total nonsense but once you get what each element stands for, you will love the guys way of thinking

yoji: However let me go with d heading. Some names on this list discredits the list.
1-pheroshuz: this is probably one of d most underrated rappers in naija. For u to judge his career on this1 line is plain ridiculous. U obviously haven't heard any of his albums. His last effort that had the hit single 'correct'' was a very very good album. The classic track 'sample' won terry the rapman a hiphop world award for best rap single featured phero and phero almost murdered terry. Mentioning phero makes no sense and can only mean it's beef.
2-ruggedman: veterans aren't judged at 1 point in time, but on the impact of their careers. In America, for example, .mc's like rakeem and krs 1 cannot match the lyrical strengths of new borns like lil Wayne and TI, but nevertheless, they are stil ranked as some of the best ever. This is cos, at their peak, they were d best and they showed another generation a style that never existed and very few could match. The same applies to ruggedman.
3-cartiar : this dude definitely had talent, jus that after his hit single, he just couldn't sustain it cos of issues that go beyond just the ability to rap. It's like saying Godwon and iceberg slim are stilwack they have not been commercially successful.

your heard (pun) is there. pherowshuz is definitely the most underated rapper in 9ja.
