Creamish:

Point.

TyTymer: I agree. A very fine line.

You remember the era of Tony Tetuila, Eedris and Eddy remedies, etc? I didn't enjoy their music but they were popular and they sold. I guess Naija loves unorganized music. Just give us rhythm that reflects the chaos in our society and you're good to go.

BRAV0O: my dear history always repeat itself...

Nihilist:
To be fair, the subject matter and the target audience require a different genre of hiphop.

I personally dont believe a born and bred in Naija man can do american style hiphop authentically just as Krept and Konan sound fake on that 'Dont waste my time' quasi-trap tune.

Which is why I dont rate Mode9, because the enabling factors and societal environment that birthed american style rap is not the story of Nigeria, and mode9 is as much a real rapper as Wizkid is an Opera tenor

MadCow1:

First of all, let me start off with you by saying bone Thugs n Harmony which your user I.d is based on one of the characters that make up the group is one other artist whose discography I own. And even you must admit that their music isn't appealing to all groups.

And if you followed my posts, you would notice that what I am against is what most of the so called real hip hop heads are defining as real rap. Like one of the dudes who are at me rightly said, gangsta rap is just one of the sub genres of Rap. So how does one place one subset above the other. I consider myself a versatile music lover. Most of the artistes you guys categorise as real rap, I like so also those you guys classify as not real rap.

All I am saying is what you like does not define realness or fake. Different songs appeal to different people.

MadCow1:

The last paragraph .. refer.

ERTHAENIGMA:
he might have fallen off,but after modenine, m.i is next on the list. Illegal music was a classic

ERTHAENIGMA:
it's obvious that you're a re.tard. We are not asking for the better musicians,we are talking about hip hop! All these dumb indomie generation kids

Yeah....i meant ur post makes plenty sense...

curiouses: It's actually not about the artists, it's about what people demand for. We ask for craps they give us craps.

shymexx:

Throw some mode9 videos on the thread.

shymexx: Can someone please name all decent naij rappers?

I dunno man, the ones I've listened to don't even know what a 16 is...they don't use metaphors and similes...all they do is rhyme. And perhaps in M.I's case throw some vocabs in there. That's about it. Rap isn't just about rhyming.

I believe they all need to go study "The Art of Rap" and get back to the basics.

anago18:

trying to upload a song of 3.1mb but nairaland ain't loading it. just Google elbow room by modenine or black rap messiah better still the new joint upside down featuring nnenna omali.

ERTHAENIGMA:
2pac is not the best rapper that ever came to this world. Stop being re.tarded
np- bigg juss- Black mamba serum

anago18:


brotherly that joint is do....per than dope. as in the way he crafted the Nigerian problem into one verse is just way too amazing.

craziebone: @Madcow, Nihilist, Shymex, i still maintain that the reason why rappers dont get it here in Nigeria is becos the mdia doesnt pay so much attention to it.

When you keep hearing the same thing over and over again, you are likely going to start liking it.

shymexx:

I like Mode9 and Saudekid to an extent on this one:

craziebone: @Nihilist you should have told hi to listen to Damian Marly ft Nas's "Patience" if he were looking for intellectual content. Infact, i have never heard such intellect in RnB, or any other kind of mainstream music @Mad Cow likes!

He talked about gender. But the truth is Rap is the only kind of music (to the best of my knowledge) that has addressed gender issues more than any mainstream music. Rap has not only addressed girls issues, it has also addressed Boys issues too - the only music to have done that. Bone Thugs' "Not My Baby" readily comes to mind here.

oluamid:


Abi oo. Problem with most people is that cos the radio don't play most of his songs, they tend to think Modenine went down, while in truth, he never left. I'm eagerly awaiting the launch of Above Ground Level.

TyTymer:
Lol. Keep waiting. Naija is not ready for mode9. Let him try his luck in America.

shymexx:

That was what I was alluding to when I asserted that it grows on people.

That's how the junk in the mainstream grew on all of us.




Oooops, I forgot DaGrin, that guy can really rap his ar.se off. That "pon pon pon" tune was a banger.
