ERTHAENIGMA:
listen to j.cole's lost ones. Classic dialogue. He tackled the issue of teen pregnancy in 3 minutes 54 seconds. Something nollywood would not be able to portray in 3hrs of film time

craziebone:

i didnt say they dont talk about women issues. I said they have not ONLY talked about women issues, they have also talked about men issues as well. Thats why Rap is complete.

anago18:

like he cares about y'all numbskulls, without your love and money he has been going strong since time immemorial. how about grabbing cyanide for lunch and save us from your gross stupidity syndrome

mumumugu: What is the difference between rapping and talking fast

ERTHAENIGMA:
lol. I was buttressing the same point. We're on the same side bro
Np. Big krit - Mt. Olympus

Creamish:

ok then.

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

TyTymer:
@ the bolded,... I'm surprised you think so. Do you think he followed the basics you were talking about?

craziebone: @Shymex you get Naija songs in the UK too? How famous and popular is it in the UK?

anago18:

it will be do...pe as always, moreover if you follow Modey on twitter you will know he is forever busy, new mix tapes, singles and all that like every time.

BRAV0O: so what's ur poison ?

oluamid:


I absolutely agree. I think Modenine is the Nigerian hip hop artiste with the most material (my opinion though).

Creamish:

Im an "omni-antidote"... no weakness.

oluamid:

To each his own, bro. So far, Modenine has not declared bankruptcy so that means he's somehow making it through his music. I buy his music on itunes and I know a lot of people who do too and we are all Nigerians.

shymexx:

Apart from the language, that was a dark video with a catchy hip-hop hook and classic hip-hop beat. The structure of the bars as well.

You can play that in an American club and people will rock to it. Unlike most other naij rap tunes.

So, it's definitely a banger.

Creamish:

Im an "omni-antidote"... no weakness.

anago18:

just try look for those joint I recommend, you will know the cat is above the naija gibberish. moreover he is a naij-brit like you.

shymexx:

I've never heard of the guy, and I'm always on the look out everywhere for naija-brits and naija-Americans who can rap. Been doing that since college days, and that was how I discovered Wale, Godwon, and some naija guy from Compton on hiphopgame way back in like 04/05. Chiddy of Chiddybang can also rap his ar.se off - probably the greatest Nigerian freestyler ever.

Heard of Phil Ade, Fem Fel, SAS Eurogang, and Bigz Flygerian? My boy Troopz used to be heavy when he was into rap back in the day.

TyTymer:
We'll see about that.

KiddaBlingzz: someday it will. I hope Boogey paves the way

KiddaBlingzz: someday it will. I hope Boogey paves the way

anago18:

nah, modey left the Queensland as a toddler, but he still breeze in the u.k on a reg.

shymexx:

I believe real hip-hop heads will always be real hip-hop heads regardless of where they were born and raised. For a lot of Nigerians to know about hip-hop, most must have been raised by the culture, and they're core fans of it. So, there should be a core fan-base in the country. Apart from the accent, great music will always be great music. Shyte, most people don't understand Spanish, but they still adore Shakira and Carlos Santana(in that genre). K'naan is Somalian, but the hip-hop community in America rates him highly. That's the beauty of the art and culture.

Krept and Konan have got bars for days, yo. A lot of yanks love them. Rap is universal and there's no need to authenticity as long as you follow the rules. You'll only be fake when you rap in an American accent, when you're not from there.

Can you say Giggs sound fake as well because he single-handedly changed the UK scene, from grime to rap

anago18:


this is above you brother, rap is about written, punchlines and metaphor. those niggi in naij are just clowning around, go soak yourself in a cannibus and rakim album and you will wanna shoot those Nigerian clowns dead.

shymexx:

Oh ok.

Er, check out this tune by Phil Ade...he's still an underground rapper, yet compare the structure of his bars, the storytelling, the concept, and everything about this tune - to naija hip-hop and you'll see the difference.

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.
