hhmmm.. but you can stay in between like sauce kid, vector and mi.. MI came with Talk About it and the thing sell, and followed it up with Illega Music I in which HipHop head listened to. 50-50 right? He came with MI2 the movie.. Make his money, months later he released Illegal Music II for hiphop heads again... Vector came with State Of Surprise, he had hit singles like Get Down ft 2face, Mary Jay and I Luv Nigeria.. He made some lil cash, he then released BaRacks later on for the HIPHOP HEAD. He dropped the SECOND COMING.. Hit songs like Angeli ft 9ice, Born Leader ft Movado, Follow me dey go ft 2face and made some cash, now he his working on the #A7 project.. so there is a way you can go about the commercial and Dope rap things together 3 Likes |

Djicemob: Ever wondered why rap artistes like Modenine,kahli Abdu,poe,loose kaynon,pherowhuz etc are not been taking seriously in the industry(atleast by the majority of music listeners) today? Meanwhile rap/afro-pop acts like Ice-prince,olamide,phyno are seen as the face of rap music in nigeria today? Yea,your guess is as good as mine,real rap is slowly getting extinct in nigeria.But hey! It would be quite unfair to blame the artistes that adapted to change and placed music hustle first,which in-turn puts food on their table.Of course who wouldnt want to drive the latest cars and build the biggest mansion? I would.wow,mind boggling post,jeez neva knew heads like u still feel the real deal unlike dem skinny jeans rap..feel u homie seems u feel the pain in ma brain......thanks..#militia.....guru,freedie fox,big shug....listening to rite now.... 2 Likes |

Any hip hop head or artist dat his rap verses and chorus r thesame s bound to go hungry....now look, u dnt just bump on a beat because ur feelin it nd then u freestyle on it nd say some weak or hard phrases as d chorus then u say ur done nd ur guyz say dey feelin it. u will gain friends dat tells u dat ur tite, flash popularity, ur djs friends wil play it in dia rooms during rehearsals nd ur radio friends will play it as fillers nd then it dies nd fades away to make space for pangolo songs dat r catchy nd danceable...Bro, just do bounce music making sure u sing on d chorus, catchy hooks nd catchy beats then rap on it................ My 1 kobo: quit writing freestyles nd start writing catchy chorus nd catchy chorus nd catchy chorus if u wan buy house for mowe ibafo befr u go even talk of lekki or else u will bé dancing to ur *fans music in clubs and parties. *big teeth smiles* 1 Like |

YomaA: Last nigth after wasting my precious 3.5mb on downloading 1 stupid baseless song that featured davido(in my opinion is an average artist) and olamide(he fall my hand) titled shoki...who ever was the producer shud ve adviced them abt that remix. banky is the god of rnb in your industry tiwa is the rnb godess also olamide -yoruba rap domino phyno- igbo rap hausa rap - guess ill have to train mg suya man abdullahi or wait for bokp haram amnesty. the truth of the matter is that davido is the ambassador of your industry at this moment, he represents everything that makes contemporary naija hiphop appreciated acroos africa. quality dancable beat and the ability to flow with the beat and a very catchy simple chorus. *see gobe come and see gobe.... skelewu skelewi....* my point: give respect to whom its due. |

Same old overflogged, baseless argument.... The truth is as simple as ABC, NOT EVERYBODY IS INTERESTED IN CRACKING METAPHORS OR LISTENING TO PUNCHLINES.... Its the same way everyone aint interested in poetry... The animosity here is due to the fact that the makers and listeners of this genre of music are not willing to accept that other people do not share same interest.... Nd what is real rap/hip-hop, music is an art and real is relative.... I do not care what mode nine has to say, if I want words of wisdom, I'd pick a book... I can't just waste my time listening to a 10-20 track CD, with similar boring tune, drab choruses and verses with "words of wisdom"... I might just as well pick up a poem book.... Truth is, most of this artistes are not versatile, they don't go commercial because they cannot go commercial, its not because they don't want to... Let's face it, mode9 cannot sing to save his life... Versatile people like eminem, kendrick, nd MI (when he did safe, not now), have made nice tunes with sweet choruses whilst making sense at the same time.... The world is not static, change is a constant, one must adapt... Mode9 and the others may be more lyrical, but phyno, olamide etc are better musicians.... 10 Likes |

iceberylin: Wizkid is genius.. Fhuck are you hating on the Nigga for? His songs serve a purpose and thats to make Niggas dance. He has his audience and they love him. Just cause you love Nas and KRS One does not make lovers of Wizkid less intelligent than you. Clear your mind up and go re-read my very first sentence on this thread; MUSIC IS A SUBJECTIVE TOPIC. Stop trying to be smarter than you actually are by talking about 'REAL' hip-hop. Its like a Nigga who loves Culture saying Dancehall aint 'REAL' Reggae. Boy you needs to get off your high horse. In a Topic like this, there is no Einstein and Napoleon Dynamites here, just Niggas who love salt versus Niggas who love Sugar. Geddit?! 8 Likes |

Afam4eva: Maybe you mean American rap not real rap. This is Nigeria and the only thing that can take pre eminence is Nigerian rap. Thumbs up to Phyno, Illbliss, Olamide et al.Nigerian rap?(wateva dat means).Besides Americans invented rap and if we wanna copy them,we need to get it right and do it right or else stick to genres which we invented that are "nigerian" so to speak eg.afro-beats,juju,fuji etc..The point is,there are actually MCs doin it right here(Nigeria) and dont get the recognition they deserve. 1 Like |

[b]Aint nobody copying shiit.. Music is what it is, some are adapted from others, some are original to its loality. You cant be rapping about strippers and poles in your bedroom or Selling crack rocks in your basement and riding around in Impalas and low riders in Nigeria and expect Niggas to recognize and relate to your music. When I am listening to my Nigga 2Chainz, I recognize what that Nigga is singing about because I have actually visited several Projects in the U.S. INFACT, The first project I visited in the U.S was Harlem and I remember the first sight i saw coming off the Train was a youngin being cuffed by 5-0 and placed in the back of the whip. Now when I listen to Phyno rap about Enugu State, I immediately recognise cos I know that shiit he is talking about. I remember hearing 'Alobam' and laughing out loud cos most Igbo dude were busy asking whats 'Alobam' and I recognised that it was an Igbo slang that many were not familiar with. But if you are still in touch with your igbo streets, Alobam would not sound strange to you. You cant come and be singing Jamaican reggae in Nigeria and expect Niggas to recognise. Jagz was all up in that Jamo reggea and I wasnt feeling him, That kid that sang Alubarika was singing a whole nother chune that was more adapted to Nigeria and I felt it better especially that track he remix with Savage.
