No doubt that all the so called nigerian wrappersrappers who repped us in the Real BET cyhper fell short of expections except Mode nine and maybe M.I. Or Sauce Kid Who for me didn't cut it.
Now the drill is; if we had taken a couple of dope nairaland mcees netcees to the cypher could they have done better? Absolutely this cyper coulda shown to the world what talent a country like ours possess esp in Nl. But unfortunately this cypher gave us another reason to argue that in naija true hiphop heads will hardly break cd stores.
Ok let's see :
X.O SENAVOE
Showed us why he couldn't have made it to the cypher. He sounded like he came into the game just yesterday,even with deep criticism he still showed little signs of dropping his known manner of overdoing or forcing it when he raps.
", But the rap crown was roaming (Roman) and so I ceased her (Caesar) – Poof!" - X.O Senavoe
Wtf?? Was that a pun or what? He was really playing with words? "ceased her" and "ceasar"? You gotta be kidding me!! Unless you're gonna tell me to pardon his accent or when you use the past tense of cease and her together the "d" becomes silent? Dunno but all i can say is someone should tell him to take some lessons from streetwise
Obviously streetwise coulda done better :
"NL, My reign (rain) is on, my days have come
And I aint gon' ex- men till I take dis place by storm
", My lyrics are in vogue . . . . d way I fashion statements
"My reign leaves you sour/ cuz I dictate to devour
He squares up to d king. . . . . but gets no raise to d power
", Those old verses you penned are skilless/ and show proverbial weakness
and ya current flow. . . Im sorry!! . . . shows no potential difference
", So ya stand's over/ u just a tiny beetle, Im a landrover
your drunk with pride?. . . . I'll dangle u 4rm a bridge and make you hang-over
", I don blow 4 real/ he's out here spittin noise
This Virgin won't get head. . . if he spent his whole day. . . flipping coins!!!!
", bleep your offences/ my fist hit fast like a bundle of blessings
till your so bleeped. . . u'll self-service on ya eyes, ears and nose. . . but still won't come(c.u.m) to ya senses
", My mathematical mind kills at leisure/ U don't get d dynamics. . . so a lil physics lecture. . .
I'm d new force in dis area . . . dats yd bleep u feel d pressure - Streetwise
ICE PRINCE
A typical example of why the saying goes "Don't judge a book by the cover". I mean this dude looked confident all round but his delivery and lyricism was far way too below poor! It is only in Nigeria that a rapper with "I have no hook to my bars cos my flow is fish" lyrics and still sell out! What about his rhyme pattern and creativity?
"I am sitting on the heads, I am like a basin" - Ice prince
OMG!! Like serious?? Like the basin i know?
Dunno but all i can say is someone should tell him to take some lessons from H.J
", I'll crush this little beatle for tryin to pull strings like george harrison
With acid bars . . . . . so there's no bases for this comparison
", u dare call ma name in vain (vein), i'll stop your blood from REACHING THE HEART/
", make a "hole" in your "chest", so maybe u mite(might) be seen as being heartless
use your blood to paint pictures, that's the masterpiece of this artiste
U always bent to write (right) like LETTERS IN ITALICS
"Accept An Advise Asshole And Amputate your Adam's APPLE/
cuz u Bein Bitchmade Bringing out d Bullshit in your BABBLES/
u Cockless Chicken, Caught u Cryin to your Chick 4 ConDOLENCESs/
n your Deadbeat Droppins are Dreams, Dawg, Dey (they) DONT EXIST!/
", Ma presence is blessed wit a commonsense to enforce me/
so I walk with d passion of Christ, WHO WANNA CROSS ME
", u barely/ make it to d waist but i'm "first" to get the weapons raised/
so-for-more (sophomore) effort u put in, u only comin out as "second" place
", this lyrical demon (D-men)/ had your girl screaming "i dont want u back" like eamon (E-men)
", u annoyin like wack emcees . . . dat's gettin radio hype
i'm a "sharp" guy dat dont give a fu.c.k wut u think, call me"stereo"-type/ - HJ
SAUCE KID
I agree to those who claim Sauce justified his inclusion in the list. Yeah his opener was what did the magic for him. What if DBR had replaced him?
LET'S SEE :
", putting his head in a vault. .the only way he'l be saving his face/
", so im hangin this dawg. .kill him legally , like a murder in-law!(mother-inlaw)/
", Pianos only got Black keys here ~~ Whites Slip, like babies get Kid-Napped/
major plans in the Pipeline~ but pipes go up in smoke/ blasted~beat that!
The hustle/ n struggle/ to Muscle/ the Nozzle/~~a huge Hurdle/
and when "Kasala burst"!~NDboyz dont "shock in" heads like Turtle
Cripple u in a Sec'. u wont Stand d Test of time/
step on ma zone u Xplode~~~lose a limb cos d Land is Mine/
crush your head wit ma boot/ put your ear Wax on ma shoes to Shine/
"i got verbal ammo under ma suit~ call it Coat of Arm/

", Two kittens coulda pecked before you call a catechist!"
"hommie. . i stay on ma grind. .hommie, thats d way im design/
gettin Married to their brain. . im Engagin their minds/
he wudnt spit hard . .even throwin phlegm at medusa/
wrapped a Bullet wit a Condom. .i Safely Phucked out his medulla/ - DBR
NAETO C
Dude Should have had no business with Cypher. The bloke was just astonishingly poor!
"You know I did it all for the Naira
My name is Naeto C and this is BET the cypher" - NAETO C
As if we don't know! But how come he forget to mention that he's the only "Mc with an MSc?"
Dunno but all i can say is someone should tell him to take some lessons from Ibime
Let's see :
", I dont mean to bad/ Was always gonna eat him, but first I had to 'season his @ss'/
thats why I let him shine in the cypher. . . just to 'ginger his swag'!!/
"like a Celestial church. . and give him spiritual healing. . . through a physical beating!!!/
I insist to this heathen/ that we're not realistically even/ cos this nigga is median/
My flow is mean. . . and he's average, . . thats statistically speaking!/
The lyrics Im weaving/ leave him visibly seeking/ his pastor for prayer/
He's just a bytch trapped in a player/. . cos look past, after the layer. . and he's Caster Semaya!!/
", I flow remote control. . . so standby. , as I channel thoughts
", I just broke ya jaw/ and raised the roof. . . to expose ya flaw/
How many mics do I eat on a daily?. . .you know The Score(20)!/
", hey’re begging me to spare the heathen/ cos this isn’t fair and even/
So abort any thought of winning. . . it doesn’t bare conceiving!/
", cos I cant short my fans/
but before I crucify this dude. . . please first allow me to wash my hands!/
", Make a grave mistake. . . . and get buried alive like David Blaine!/
^^^That last metaphor wont dawn on him. . . till the break of day!/
I render you infertile when I’m called to rap/ so its balls you lack/
cos Street is a dead end. . . .when I cull de sack!/
", He better Reverence my rhymes, cosIm a Father to him/
If he say my name in vain, theres no pardon for him/ cos Ill shoot Cannon sat this Primate. . . for his Cardinal sin!/
", My gun is a gay/ It 'ejaculates noisily'. . when he gets shot in the @ss/
. . cos my 'magnum cum laude'. . .like Im 'top of the class'!!/
", I POUND GROUND and cause earthquakes. . . DOWNTOWN!/ So BOW DOWN!/
Make you 'surrender' in audio battles too. . . cos I 'SURROUND SOUND!'/
", You better say the Lords Prayer before I fill my gun/ cos I kill for fun/
so when I blow you to Kingdom come/Thy WILL be done!!!/
