[size=15pt]well i see a lotta old nine songs we have already seen , i was expecting totally new shit!
i want him to flow on more beats , next time we go suggest beats for am
but regardless i like the death of the wack rappers more[/size]

That's bout 7 nu tracks, of course some had been put out earlier
Feelin Bring it back, I was there, DOA freestyle, Harmless fling funny shit, liquor(lick her) license
I'v always liked the melodious nature of OLORIBURU
Some [i]nice[/i]NASTY lyrics by OD n M9 on Downsouth, dirty dirty dirty, "got a head from a chinese chic, her [i]tonguefu[/i]ws baad"
"listenin to Fela gettin MouthAction from a gurl" "leave her lookin like fatherxmas wit a white beard", eeewwwww
"That's the things" aint bad too.
"Journey so far 2" keepin it real track, no hypes,just strait up reality talk.
Generally, the trade mark lyrics still present so no digity.
Nice job on this mixtape , IMO

LWKMD!!
I for slap am too, until i realised
-bout 6 tracks are really new,
-Harmless fling, Pretty eye, who da best were online briefly
and no one cld download them and they were not mixed
same for the rest.
So to me it's a pass mark,especially cos he has bout 4 to 5
single out from d upcomin album.
Make we no lie the guy dey try.
For me, it's a YES!

question 1, i think its shud be ayeni, modenine made a reference to him in death blow, commit sucisde like ayeni


question 2, its a known fact blackface wrote most of plantation boiz songs, tuface even said it

Same old Mode 9. Talent wasting. He needs to change his management team. Sometimes it's not just about having the gift, it's knowing how to use it. Plus, he needs to find a marketer that will believe in his cause and really take him mainstream and for that to happen, he needs a big hit.

From the lyrics of the "i was there" track, the guy don dey become grandfather for the game and he's been active the whole time. By now, he should be a Don dada for Naija on that Jay-Z, N3 million a gig level.

This is not hating. I'm just telling it as i see it. The guy can definitely flow, but he needs to change his team. That's all i'm saying.

mode 9 is a secret cult.
not for everybody just for the chosen few 
he is a purist, he does not need commercial success. such materialism is sinful.

Then at least you and your fellow purists should support the guys music by buying it, instead of constantly asking for download links.

I don't care how you spin it. It's yes men like you that are stopping him from progressing.

HE NEEDS A HIT RECORD TO STAY RELEVANT. If you can't make hit records in the music business, even underground hit records, then you are just the same as all the other joe bloggs.

Talib Kweli, Common, Mobb Depp, Kanye, all underground cults, but they blew up.

Mode 9 seems to make music for the same 100 guys everytime.

For once i co-sign Dammiecool. By now, he should be huge. I've listened to his new mixtape. The mixing is sub standard and none of the songs is pushing the brand any further.
If he owns his own label, he should fire everybody and re hire the right people.

I see ruggedman videos on Nigeezie everyday, MI on Nigeezie everyday, Naeto c same thing, even K16 i see everyday, no Mode 9. There's something wrong there.

If he doesn't want his legacy to be wasted, he should get cracking.

with all due respect, your analogy is fundamentally fault.
to be a great you must mix commercial success with outstanding talent.
one without the other is questionable.
talent is relatively subjective but commercial success is obvious to all and easily measurable.
until Mode has a measure of both, all these greatest and best adjectives are misplaced.
mention one great, without a measure of both.
btw, why greatest rapper alive? is the greatest dead?

Is the greatest dead?
U wuddnt ask that Q if u r one of those who think Biggie is the greatest
And if u r one of those who think it's 2pac u'l quickly rethink the relevance of that Q.
Plus, it's also a parlance, BRA-Best Rapper Alive, of Greatest Rapper Alive.

As per a MEASURE OF BOTH COMMERCIAL SUCCESS and OUTSTANDING SKILL
The question is does M9 not posses this? Except im ignorant of watya mean by "a measure o[/b]f".
So i say ma friend, that the [b]"fundamental" flaw u ascribed to Mightymike's view has no foundation either.
Thank u.
