I have not come as one who really knows what rap is
all about or someone who is completely a novice,
but in my opinion I think the subject matter in
person of Ice-Prince the Aboki himself is overrated

I kept wandering what's this guy rapping that's
making him bag awards even when his got no hit
song. He's just like a one way rapper,one particular
rap tone and style (with due respect to him)...
Sincerely am of limited knowledge here of this Guy
and how come he gets most of the BET awards and
always nominated in rap category even when his
music impact to the average nigeria that just like
good music is just too minimal...

Even at this time when we have some venom
spitting rap artist like this ones listed below in no
particular order

Vector d Viper
Terry d rap man
Phenom
Olamide
Phyno
Ill-bliss
Reminisce....

Please guys educate me on this issue. I really want
to know if his worth the awards and nominations or
just overrated in your own opinion...

Seriously my brother... The guy is really overrated, and it pains me always. The guy is so consistent, except he speaks good english. He's good though, but he's not that good. And to those rappers you mentioned Op,he isn't better off anyone of them just he's on the same lane with Reminisce. But the guy is overrated sha ...*my opinion* FTC! Yipeeeeeeeeee! Anyways,thanks Jah!

My exact sentiment. He's no more than other naija everyday rappers. Talk of 'Alubarika'. I think he's just lucky and possibly knows the motherfuckers who run showbiz.

go nd ask d organizers of BET nd stop criticising wat u dnt undastnd

Ice prince is just an average rapper in naija.
When its cums to rap music in naija dis guys run d show
Modenine
Vector
Mi.
They are lyricist.

Systeme101: go nd ask d organizers of BET nd stop criticising wat u dnt undastnd

Bros, not criticizing, just my opinion and an open heart to learn why he get nominated most often in rap category for most of the popular awards we know?

op ur own opinion. Bt iceprince is bigger dan those rap artiste u mention in d music industry

Dude is just fortunate just like Dbanj is fortunate in the music industry, vector is better than him anyday anytime. Op u have to know that talent isn't enough in music to keep u going, u have to add extra ginger ( like swag, packaging etc) that what is helping ppl like Iceprince, Dbanj etc even some yankee artists.

I dont usually feel his musiq so maybe he is

to an extent ...yes
dude doesn't spit anything,he's just good with flows and rhyme

He is an American rapper wannabe...
a born and bred in Nigeria dey force himself to speak like akata

Dont think so

Not really

I like the bro personally but he's beginning to sound like a broken record musically, whoever advised him to feature Sarkodie on that his shots on shots track, Sark killed it I nearly wept for Ice as he struggled on his own track... Listen to his album, same rap pattern, no creativity, just plain ol' boring naija gibberish you don't expect someone of his caliber spewing at this age. I hope he re-invents himself sha... I really like the dude

since oleku, am yet to feel any of his songs, its a miracle he is still in the news, maybe good marketing i believe

The others not crossed out are correct naija rappers,,,ibi ile, native to the core

Question for the rap gods

Before releasing Aboki, He was cool in a way...


But since then he has been stuck on one never ending loop of the Aboki's song style.....







Presently SkyB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Iceprince.

To me I have been listening to a couple of rap artist from Naija.. but none is better than ICE PRINCE.

Who is ice prince? Does he sell ice cream?

Yeah, he's lil bit overratedYeah, he's lil bit overratedYeah, he's lil bit overrated

now he raps in pidgin...Flows dn finish.

Very good observation. I think some musicians are just lucky. I don't see what's so special about his rap. The last time i heard good music from him was in Oleku and that was mainly because of Braimo. I don't even like the Aboki song sef. Ohh, i also kinda like the song where he was saying something like "Everytime, see my sef, na juju dey worry" or something like that. That notwithstanding, he's average at best. like someone said, he's on the same level with Reminisce and the likes. When we talk of rappers in Nigeria, let's talk Phyno, olamide, MI et al.

OP na wa for you....o.There are different style of rap music and the young man has chosen his own style so let him be.Why not go ask if French Montana is overrated

Systeme101: go nd ask d organizers of BET nd stop criticising wat u dnt undastnd

BET is not a big award jare,more of 2nd class award.

Hmmm...sum ppl can criticize sha..
Let's just say he's not had a good 2014.
Ice prince of 2010 - 2011 really reminds us of how Ice prince has changed (same with wizkid)

Ahh...op yhu mentioned olamide,phyno & co in ur list,& u didn't mention Yung6ix?

I believe Yung6ix is up there,too.He's berra than most of these murdaf***as!

Ice prince is just an over rated "Bubble gum wrapper" like French "arsekissing"Montana.

Yeah!!!! Very very
