There is a part 2 and 3 of this video,
the crowd has been expecting Mi in new york since.
good shot thrown at kelly handsome and iceberg slim,
he made iceberg look like a baby rapper
kelly handsome is his biggest problem for now although ,
iceberg thin cant come at MI as direct as k-handsome would

Ibime:

MI would be committing career suicide if he goes to war with Iceberg Slim.

Infact, I dont think MI wanna cross that line.

Wordsmith:

it's all B.S. M.I is simply giving these cats ammo. . . they keep baiting him and he keeps falling for it. they are not worth the replies he's been giving them. . .

Ibime:

mbulela:

M.I. is not as intelligent as i assumed.
Can't he just keep shut?
Go hard, you won't go hard (or according to some, can't go hard).
Ignore the retard (Kelly), you won't ignore him.
Dude is falling my hand big time.

tosinaded@:

what is fukkn dis M.I dude? make music for us jare. . . . not lame punchlines

bjmighty:

Hhhmmm. . . . . . . . . Yeah! I'm thinking so too, He can't go stronger than "Only Kelly that i know, Kelly Rowland NA BEEF BE THAT !!!

Ignoring at this stage is too late, bro! The lyrikal Kunfu don already start already.

Kelly Handsome 3 - M.I (Choc boys) 1 . . . . . K.H dey lead

bjmighty:

Many of us know the dude is killing M.I's career gradually if care is not taken but consoling urself by saying "Kelly H is this, is that,  blah blah blah is not gonn do it for you or for your man. Let the truth be told Kelly Handsome is giving M.I real sleepless night! T.H.R.EA.T!!!!

DBR:

I said it b4 and i'ma say it again Iceberg is the one M.i shud be worried about.
Cos lyrically IBS na Were o!

y'all sayin he shud shut up, and not pay attention.But i think M.i needs this.
He need sm1 to push him, make him uncomfortable and ruffled.
M.i neva reach that level to ignore pple like Iceberg's diss cos IBS is a formidable foe to M.i. .lyrically.

eldee:

I call bullshit right there.
M.I's career is dying?? He's the most popular rapper in Nigeria, he's an MTV award winner and BET award nominee, he's the must have rapper on your album, only Eldee comes close.
Everything he puts his name on becomes a hit.
Every other rapper, bar none . . .will beg for his 'dead' career.

@@@Eldee. Read your post very well. It should have been the appropriate defence if i had said M.I wasn't good at what he is doing or stuff. You haven't defended the fact that "K.H is a huge T.H.R.E.A.T to his career. Try another !

eldee:



IBS is not enough motivation . . . he's lyrically ill but it's not worthy competition.

Iceberg Slim will remain the 'upstart' for a few years . . . same way Jay-Z was just another unnecessary upstart to Nas till 'condoms on your baby seat.

DBR:

Upstart? Me think M.i wears in the Upstart tag better.
Or i no kno meanin of upstart again??.
M.i is d one who's enjoyin new status, accolades and co, not IBS.
Jay/Nas upstart example sits, but M.i/IBS,, me think it's d other way round.

eldee:

Nah, in Nigerian hiphop terms, M.I has stayed up there long enough.
Upstart is one recognised album, M.I has two with a collabo history that will shock Drake

How long do you think people stay up there in Nigerian hiphop?? 2shots had a year (One great album), Ruggedman had a year(one album too), that position is where Iceberg Slim is right now, a couple of sick joints and critical acclaim. He is the upstart in this case not M.I.

DBR:

Hello!!! Sure we aint talkin bout same M.i?
ma boy? M.i. . how culd he do that to me?
Release 2 albums and i was only informed of one?!!
Dude, get your fact right.

DBR:

Plus, guess u have a different defination for Upstart.
i go with the general accepted one, not the one that changes with
the peculiarity of 9ja music scenarios.
Dunno where couple of sick joints n crittical acclaim makes one an upstart.
Sudden rise to fame and recognition is ma own understandin of Upstart, that cap fits M.i better.

tosinaded@:

HE MEANT AN ALBUM AND A MIXTAPE!
M.I IS NOT A BATTLE RAPPER JOR. . . . . . .

GHETTO P

eldee:

Stop being trivial, yo know what I mean when I say two albums, I'm not going to go all figure-hugging with you, got to notjustok.com and see what's the most viewed post.

So you will detach a word from the context in mhich it's being used.
Listen to how desperate you sound. (Before you go lookup the general definition, I'll rather we stick to the one that applies to arguments)

DBR:

Trivial? Hehehee
No. I dont kno what u mean. I kno wat u said is wrong.
Shud i just assume t'was a mistake on your part and not an error of facts?
Simply say, "oh I made a mistake" and stop turnin it around that im being insensitive to your error. .callin it figure huggin.
If smone calls a mixtape an album on NL u'l be d 1st to make that person feel unintelligent not to kno d difference btw a mixtape or an album
So, suck it up boi!  

DBR:

Now i sound desperate. . great! Lol.
I see u got issues with labellin' cos that desperate label looks great on u.
C'mon Upstart is Upstart. I dont get why dudes let ego get in the way
instead of admittin an error u just gotta say smthin to counter.
It's no contest naauw eldee.
Ok, i don go check dictionary,and this is wat i found:

[i]n.
A person of humble origin who attains sudden wealth, power, or importance, especially one made immodest or presumptuous by the change; a parvenu.
adj.
1. Suddenly raised to a position of consequence.


So applyin to this discusion, not argument . .Btw M.i and IBS abeg, who does this definations fit better?
Who suddenly overnite achieved recognition, fame in 9ja Hiphop? IBM?
I think not.

Wordsmith:

@eldee,
while i wouldn't say his career is dying, let's get some things straight. . . MI is no battle rapper. of all them Choc Boiz, i'd rather say Ice Prince fits that description. it's like with each collabo, dude (MI) keeps dropping lamer and lamer lines. silly ish like -

", they are so dry, i think they need lotion".
or something like that. dude can be clever with the wordplay and all, but he doesn't have that grit and aggressiveness battle rappers have. . .

eldee:

making hotter tracks

eldee:

Oh yeah, I don't know the difference between Illegal Music and Talk About It.
You are being so trivial . . .it's freaking ridiculous, reminds me of Tavarez arguing with me over Modenine's album sales.

You might as well go and hold on to the fact that I said 'Ruggedman: One album' . . . I would say noscitur a sociis, but it will lead to rehash of Hamlet's soliloquy.

"Nah, in Nigerian hiphop terms, M.I has stayed up there long enough.
Upstart is one recognised album, M.I has two with a collabo history that will shock Drake"

that position is where Iceberg Slim is right now, a couple of sick joints and critical acclaim. He is the upstart in this case not M.I.

Ego?? More like, one of us has to take the high road.
Yeah, you're being trivial and desperate.

How?? Holding on to a term that was obviously used for emphasis of a point and ignoring the whole point itself.
If I say Rugged has one album and M.I had two, doesn't it just go to show that I'm talking about acclaim for the works??
Do I have to write 100 words when two will do?? That to me is being trivial.

How are you desperate?? I used upstart using the the two factors involved . . .time and critical acclaim but relating them to the Nigerian music industry.
But you say, 'erm . . . no, I'll remove any relation to the topic of the thread but use the definition on wikipedia or urbandictionary.com'
That's like me saying 'oh Adenuga is extremely wealthy' on Nairaland and then you go ahead to bring a Forbes richlist, because that's the 'generally accepted evidence'.
That's desperate and trivial in my own books . . . it kills conversation, and stops anyone from being able to make contributions.

You see the thing . . . I reply you, I discuss the definitions of upstarts and albums, I reply Wordsmith, I discuss M.I's career.

God bless you TosinOdeda SECONDED!!!!!!!

hax:

I don't think so. I haven't heard anything he's spat that's better than what he's done on Talk About It. That's by the way anyways.

[b]And there's no point beefing these small cats. [/b]Why didn't Jay-Z reply Game? I'd understand if he was also trying to find his feet in the rap game, but he's the biggest mainstream rapper out there, [b]why the fxck should he feel the need to reply everything IBS and KH say? [/b]He should keep doing his thing jor. Fxck the haters.

Long time. I dey hail una o.
