South Africa Floors Nigeria On Mtv’s List Of Hottest African Rappers by entadaplace: 5:32am On Oct 13, 2014
After their controversial list of the greatest Nigerian songs ever, MTV Base has released another list, this time of the hottest rappers on the continent at the moment.

4 Nigerian acts made the list, including Ice Prince, Burna Boy, Olamide & Phyno. While Ghana’s favourite, Sarkodie is makes the cut too, along side 5 other rappers from South Africa.

See the list below.

1. Cassper Nyovest

2. K.O

3. Ice Prince

4. AKA

5. Burna Boy

6. Sarkodie

7. Olamide

8. iFani

9. Phyno

10. Duncan
What do you think. I guess Nigerians would reject this list too.

When did Burna boy become a rapper?
So it has come this extent that they don't even know who raps in Nigeria...
Am not surprise sha... This will always happen when rappers keep shunning creativity just to throw shiiit at us and get sone extra bucks...
Have always been a fan of SA raps cause they do it like It's supposed to be done...


Shoutout to AKA and Maggz etcsmiley

I love Maggz too. He is just awesome. Don't know about AKA though, to me he seems like another American wannabe. I'd replace him with JR, HHP or even PRO. JR's "you're so hot, hot, hot, hot" song was hot. And who can forget "make the circle bigger"? I prefer genuinity over the Americanised version of rappers. Loathe fake accents.

On the Nigerian side, love Ice Prince. Was obsessed with his song, I swear.

Kwaaaks @ Ifani making the list. I love the guy, he has charisma but I wouldn't consider him a rapper lol. He's just an adorable weirdo.

Not a bad list though.

Lol.

But I think AKA is really the new face of SA hip hop...

You know he wants to be generally understood That's why he's acting like an 'American wannabe 'and may be to possibly get an international collabo...

I personally don't like songs I can't understand That's why I chose AKA... Others accents and regular chipping in of their language made it impossible for me to grasp the real meaning of their songs ...

Others on my list are
Khuli Chana
Reason
Tumi
Proverbs is simply out of this world....I still play one of the songs he did with our own mode9 ....dude is great!

As for others on your list...am yet to know them sha... Ice Prince is okay....at least he's triedsmiley

Are you from SA?

Fair enough. I love Reason too. You have good taste in mcees lol.

I chose Ice Prince because I really loved that song. I don't know many Nigerian rappers or remember all their names. The music is not bad though. IDK if you live in S.A or not, but T-bo Touch tries a lot to introduce Nigerian artistes/songs to S.A listeners on his hip hop show Touchdown (Metro Fm). I love music so I tune in every thursday to listen to new Naija tracks & whatnot. Really not bad smiley

Lool. The list is wrong!!! Mtv base africa tweeted it, when Aka asked the why burna is 5. Wait for the real list though

Lolz Emcees... yea ...got a lotta respect for those guys

Listening to them is like reading a deep-versed poetry...

They are gods of words....masters of minds... literal moodswingers

They can make you miserable...comfort you or make you go berserk!
If you're bout to commit suicide please stay away from these guys cause they'll make it more appealinggrin

Talking bout Nigerian rappers ah could introduce you to yung6ix.... dude is cool... didn't want to include M.I cause he's been on ghost mode for sometimes now...he'll just appear to drop some mixtape and disappear...but he's old albums are still inspiring... dunno whether I should include Vector....

Nigeria got a lot of rappers It's only a pity they're doing mainstream That's why I either listen to foreign or turn on to SA...

Am not in SA... It's cool you like our music... I like yours toosmiley

Kwaaaks @ suicide. Cool, I will check those guys out. Music is music to me, I don't care which country it comes from, if it sounds good I will listen to it. Don't tell anybody but I have CDs by Udit Narayan & Sonu Nigam. That's Indian music. I don't know what they are saying but it makes me draw a red dot on my forehead & dance lol. African music is the only kind that moves me emotionally though. I love, love those Swahili love songs *smirks*

Anyway, it was a great pleasure meeting you. Have a fantastic day & thanks for the new names smiley

ice got the personality, but i doubt he is top 5 best in nigeria. But he is definitely the most consistent! There are crazier rapper, yung6ix, prometh, MI AND JESSEJAgz (godss lol), mode9, and the list is endless. . .olamide and phyno shouldn't even be on that list though. Well mtv tweeted, the list should be ignored, lmao, tf burnaboy ain't no rapper! Well sa hiphop is another force to reckon with, with the likes of Aka and casper...aka could be a controversial artiste, but right now he's the hottest in sa. #Runjozi!

You didn't read the part I said he'll just appear to drop a mixtape and disappear ...

I've listened to king James and the one he did with dj Jimmy jatt...

King James was just his normal ramblings... the latter was d..ope sha

But as a former African top rapper...I expected much from him not this usual self-praise have been hearing everyday

Am still waiting for him to drop something meaningful

dude there was a concept behind kingJames!! MI wouldn't just wake up and record something for rappers, if he isn't getting hate, and backlashes, from them, (ofcourse we aren't aware of them). On canitalk, he spilled stuffs for dissing rappers too. And kingJames is such a masterpiece, you don't like it, thats your opinion. Maybe you should chill for the album! And what do u mean by "former african top rapper", dude that phrase pissed me off abit. Chillll
