http://www./2011/12/9ice-finally-releases-long-awaited.html#ixzz1ft7dfeX3

i hope its already in the market.i'm buying both today.

Bought it already.

9ice delivery. Many potential hit tracks and i keep discovering more every day. So far i have at least 6 favourites in each of the album.

I heard that the albums sold out in 2 days

I won't be surprised.

The average ratings i have seen from 9ice's critics is 8/10. That is not bad for an album released just last week.


I av listened to some tracks more than 50 time. Listening to a track as i type.

Some people are stil beefing the guy. For example, notjustok.com have still refused to even give the albums a mention talkless of previewing the full album.
Anyway, the albums are fast gaining ground and there is nothing anyone can do bout it
You can't stop the sun from shining

I haven't heard any song from the albums but i'm looking forward to it.

True talk even Nairaland is not putting anything about the album on the home page. Well, I understand Toy Payne is from Abeokuta and so is Seun.

But Beef or no beef. The Album is simply tight.

Why shd they put smth like dt on the homepage?

that baffles me

BABE!:

If the Album is to be rated compared to his former songs and collaborations, I think this isnt what we are expecting. the meaningful and the thoughtful pice is not there any more. now he talks about sex and money, where is the guy that sang Talent dey waste, Little Money, Ade Ori, Wedding day and so on, all what he saying doesn't add to my thought of thinking, its depreciation me. we need something more than all this sexual songs. No Doubt he used to sing about sex. One Song in an album. now his songs is mostly about sex and Money and girls, nothing meaning ful. The only reason Tuface Stays at the Top today is about his meaning songs which we can ascribe to. To even worsen the whole thing the vocals is no more there. its just like an addict shouting in-front of MIC. I dont hate him please, am his fan i started listening to his music before most of you posters might be.

I bought the Songs On iTunes and after listening to the whole 2 Albums, I think its just the one with Wizkid and Tuface Made alot of sense,, and thanks to wizzy he really tried on the song. its obvious he is a Star Boy, as he also said before,, Bi mo lu pangolo ayie ajo, not me! i dont dance to shits.

if am to rate this 3/10.

I don't agree that he sang about money and sex alone. I think he did a mixed grill of sense and nonsense so as to sell, u don't sing sense alone in Nigeria and sell, you can ask Darey Art Alade. I think the albums were very tight and it isnt surprising that most of his critics scored him an average of 8 over 10 for the album.
And the above songs u mentioned like little money and Gongo Aso, wasn't he singing about money and booze too?
BTW: albums of the year

maybe u should listen to the song again before u write,
am listening to the album as i type here. so i know what am talking about
and what do u have to say abt the vocals lost? do u know what they call vocal?

Av listened to the albums almost 30 times over and I can tell you that its balanced. What do you think about a track like EVERYDAY, 3310n everything feat Tiwa Savage and ahost of others. My oga, 9ice still has it o and if you are a regular on twitter, u would see ow people praise the album every second. He shocked people with this effort and I think he deserves every bit of it.
That apart, I agree that 9ice has lost his vocals, perhaps to too much weed but still, his lurics are one of the best u can get anywhere

I have been expecting this kind of comment, but I tell you what?  9ice's best albums to date, what do u say about 'Mayiabaku' (excuse the spelling error) ft Duncan mighty, which talks about politics, ain't that conscious enough? what about life is beautiful ft tuface? one of the best collabo of this year,  what about ' safe journey ft kayefi? what about 'simple strategy'? a blend of afro and pop, and of course the vulgar tracks, do listen again, u heard 'omo' ? U heard ' All the way' ft p square? A track which he tell how grateful to God he is, oh common, Those albums are easily one of the best I have this year, and I am not even a fan like that , but truth must be told.One of the few with meaningful lyrics and it's evident he works hard on his songs! You must have bought another CD

and yeah, i do agree his vocal ability has degraded, could be as a result of excessive shows or something but kudos to him still

Add "Don't Go", "Enife", "Shakashiki", "Everyday", "Juwon'lo" to the list

Add "Don't Go", "Enife", "Shakashiki", "Everyday", "Juwon'lo" to the list

Don't go is a MONSTER track (9/10) , Shakashiki- best track he has done after gongo aso (9.5/10) , and Everyday- A quite creative melodic track (8.5/10). Omo forget 9ice dey sing,
After tuface, na 9ice! Just sad he has allowed his marital life to overshadow this music lately. His music is timeless, 20 years from now , u go still groove to shakashiki

You already concluded that his songs are meaningles to you only to say the track with Wizkid is meaningful.

You are confused.

true that.

Track like Buje Budanu. . . honestly, how many artistes can go in like that?

Kudos must go to the producers as well. TY Mix, Cheepho, Sossick, Spellz. . .

9ice is in a league of his own

I really wonder what Ruggedman's teeming fans led by Dammiecool have to say to this; they wrote him off only for him to come back stronger

Talking about Versus, Iya Alariya, Everything ft Tiwa Savage, Mayabiaku ft Duncan Mighty, Gbongilagila. . . wo iCant continue abeg

I feared for his career at a point o. If this albums had flopped, that would have been his end, Dammiecool and co would have opened a thread about it and Seun would have moved It to the homepage for peope to write their own piece on 9ice's epitaph

I do feel u , he is super-talented. Even his tradition album was very very good but good lyrics.He is just not about 'packaging' like majority of naija artist dis days but super super talent dey, His management not doing enough. He is bigger than he is!

thanks you agree on that. i first heard the 3310 and the one with wizzy and i told people around me then that 9ice is really good. after buying the both album on iTunes listening to them over and over and comparing them to the old 9ice i used to know brothers i was disappointed. the first album 9ice had LITTLE MONEY, i bought the album over and over, when i listen to the CD and it is got to a point it started skipping i buy another one same goes for the Plantashuen Boiz, Body and Soul Album. back in the days then.  So Please no one should say I HATE cuz i dont, i care. if i dont i will scroll past the topic in the first place.

Not in anyway disrespecting you bro. Apologies if offended in any manner. Back to the discussion, how do you want me to believe you are one, On point ft wizkid is even a party track and you don't even call that good music in the first place! Just something to merry to. Yh 'Life is beautiful' -good music!" Mayiabaku= Good music , Shakashiki- good music, suitable for any category of listeners from toddlers  to granddaddies.
