^^^^^^ No mind the guy. Call M.I a nursery school rhymer? Na you gan gan be nursery school writer.

i think M.I is rated well enuf, he's getting or has gotten enuf hype as it is.

I don't listen to yoruba only rappers, so cant comment on olamide n co.

Yung6ix maybe underrated, we won't know until he puts out more material e.g. his mixtape, he's got a lotta potential.

Vector,  i like his style, swag dey overflow.

I don't think Jesse Jagz is underrated, i see more as a rapper/singer, he's probably more of singer IMO, he's said the same about himself too, if i heard correctly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
me thinks Overdose (O.D) is very underrated. His "Don't Hate Album" is a classic, and  no one talks about him.

Jesse J is a rapper na. Yh he can sing, but he's more of a rapper to me. Wasn't his last album a rap album? and that album was quite oRn pint.

If jesse really said so about himself, then he doesnt know himself. Jesse na bad azzzz rapper. The major indicator to recognizing a rapper is if he can freestyle. I saw a clip of an interview a radio host of one radio station in the UK had with MI, Jesse, Brhymo and Iceprince and the host asked all of them to be freestyling in turns. Na that day i respect MI and jesse finally. See murder for studio!!!! Blood just full everywhere. Brhymo also freestyled with a song but didnt rap. Ice prince had to rap from rhymes he had wriitten in his Blackberry and still messed up the flow at some point but he apologised.

BABE!:

No be only you jare. Me sef dey wait. Then i really dont like olamide. I love originality and he aint got that cos his style is way too similar to Dagrin's. How you dey now? You dey even plan enter naija anytime soon?
Re: Who Are Nigeria's Most Under-Rated Rappers? by amblors(m): 10:32am On Aug 02, 2011
@fork addict, i saw the show, that was on BBC1 extra, IMO Jesse Performed better than M.I,
guess pple's choice would differ on that.
they do plenty freestyles on that show and em, plenty sheets on that one, talk for anoda day though.

alrighty, hands up, Jesse na rapper
Re: Who Are Nigeria's Most Under-Rated Rappers? by forkadict(m): 10:38am On Aug 02, 2011
^^^^ No be just rapper he be, he be bad azzzzz motherforking rapper!

But i no con sabi why he no dey burst with that kind venom for him tracks. at least MI dey spit the same volume of venom on his tracks.

So he's not original because he raps in Yoruba? grin The only thing connecting him and Dagrin is Yoruba. He sounds very diff. from him and he's swag is diff.

I'm fine o. I don't know when next I'm entering 9j---
