Favourite Rap Lines By Nigerian Rappers

how can i be mad when u called me big baby, when i was on your mums tite and the bitch called me baby ---------modenine (badman)

this is how u address them little attention seekers

Is it me or did sumone just challenge Nigeria's best rapper??
Like does he seriously know he's talking to Naija's rap messiah??

M.I is the best
dammit

M.I is the best, two peeps cant be on top
geddit??? dull brain
till any1 throws him off. . . . . . .  . .

so sauce kid never was the best, if not your ashewo sef, i would actually take sauce kid before M.I , dude is just enjoying the media attention and its only in nigeria a rap artiste becomes the best with 1 album. u have to wait for the following projects before u call them the best.

50cent,Game,young juc,Mims e.t.c would have being call the best cos they had a good debut album, but they all watered down cos they cant keep up with the hype and glory that came with the first album, so all u dickriding M.I shud just take it easy and lets see what happen next, u dont just a book by its cover, mediocrity at its best

your surgeon better be good at jigsaw cos im rippin u to pieces for callin me a bitter
im deadlier wit the bars than a shaolin pole fighter-M9-GERM

The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fucking law
I got two choices yall pull over the car or
bounce on the double put the pedal to the floor
Now I ain't trying to see no highway chase with jake
Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case
So I, pull over to the side of the road
And I heard "Son do you know why I'm stopping you for?"
Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low
Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo?
"Well you was doing fifty five in a fifty four"
"License and registration and step out of the car"
"Are you carrying a weapon on you I know alot of you are"
I ain't stepping out of shit all my papers legit
"Do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?"
"Or somebody important or something?"
Nah I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"Well see how smart you are when the K-9's come"
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

@deji
no wetin u explain.Dem no go hear!Leave em
@sauron
if u love rakim,krs one,u wil like mode.Mode got a bit of rakim(brought use of metaphors,wordplay n all that)check out rappers that came afta him they wanted to be lyrical as well.
@everyone
what makes a fighter d best?His skill,strength.Wot makes an emcee best?Go ahead n tell me is by making popular raps i.e pop rap.Danceable raps.Its the ability of d rapper?Wot r the criteria to knw to best rapper?Is it your lyrics or otherwise.Lyrics is the strength of a rapper.Mode is jst a case of a king is not respectd in his own land.Talib kweli had a freestyl wiv him,n said this guy got good metaphnrs.Remember kweli,the guy jigga said 'if skills sold,truth be told,i'd probably be,lyrically talib kweli.Jay also felt modes rhyme.Jungle brothers came down ere to see him,did 5 tracks wiv him. and for pentium ix should be called a classic by an intertanational medium.Mane this man is probably gonna be naija's greatest emcee of all time.If MI cant match mode lyrically,there's no way,i solo lyk isolo crooner is best.
@tosin
to me hiphop is dead n hiphop hardly exists in naija.I even rate sauce above mi,if u bring individual abilities mi cant match many rappers in naija.Dont lie,did u listen to eldee's return of the king album,tell me a track in that album that cant match mi's talk abt it,i hardly skip a track in return of da king.How come u ppl didnt call that album a classic.Una go dey make noise.Talk abt it didnt wow me,i sold it afta one play!Una dey shout.If that album is a classic here,it wil be elsewhere,i mean internationally(dem talk hiphop is universal)if na lie tell me why nas illmatic is a classic to u

@sauron
i read your battles.I saw your ability.Good.Abt delivery.Mode kinda flow was hot in mid 90's.Why i dig this guy is that he floated american underground rap in naija mainstream n he is audible,lyk when he flows fast.He does that without strain n doesnt go offbeat.His beats r mostly boom bap, His delivery aint so bad.He kinda changed his delivery in badman(v u listened), Be frank if we start puttin up his tyte lines his been doin frm malcolm ix tru mixtapes n now mode ova premo,stil dem never finish.Its gonna be a novel.Undisputed MI got an admirable voice n best rap styl.U can get attracted to d song by d voice.Check around lupe fiasco was said to v d best flow in d industry.2 classic albums.Bt neva been called best.He was jst tagged the leader of the new school, To be frank.I dont think i wont listen to rap again if jay,nas,game,eminem,lupe,kweli,kanye(think i can do witout him),papoose quits.I cant stand these new guys(they all sound alike).And most of the southern rappers are whack(i like luda n jeezy,ross cos of pot of miami sha).Well i dont think mi is best,rugged,mode,terry,freestyl,iceberg slim,pop off,ghetto p still dey.

@eldee
assumption is mother of all mess ups.Go market if u see talibs album 4 market tomorrow tell me.I didnt remember using swear words on u.Sauron replied lyk a gent.U feel u know rap enuff to start talkin who is best.U knw nothin.U v no sufficient  knowledge of rap to decide who is best neither am i?Only d owners are.Even a vote doesnt decide 4 me,cos majority cld be wrong.MI aint a gud story teller,he aint so brilliant wit word play,metaphors,use of poetry.If he lacks this wot makes him best.Go listen to lupe n listen to sublime rhyme schemes,gud story tellin,brilliant use of poetry,the best track on talk abt it is crowd mentality,noone evn talks abt that track, Tell me if teaser na rap?If u feel he is your best.Fine,u v no right to decide for others.Different strokes for different folks.Cos he is nt my best.I knw a bost of girls that feel he aint!And wot does me buyin kweli album yesterday relate wit whose best.

Don't be too harsh on him. . . . .


I agree he floated the American underground rap in Naija mainstream but when it comes to the real business. . . .Mode-9 comes short.
His lyrics are tight on paper but he lacks the qualities of a good MC when spitting on the MIC.
I read about M.I's lyrical prowess on NL and i decided to give the cat a try. . . .I wasn't disappointed.

M.I. has the voice. . . .has a variety of styles when he flows and the most important thang is he rides his beats.
I have forgotten the name of this song(he was using other Naija artistes songs in various rhyme patterns). . .that song was tight.
You have to know when to add in a rhyme word, and where a word would fit better at. . . . .M.I. rode the beats and didn't let the beats take control.
Like when the snare hits, he'd say his rhyming word, and the next time the snare hit, he'd say the word that rhymed with it. . . . .If M.I. is Eminem, Mode9 is Obie Trice.



Most of these "tight" lines have been punctured by smart listeners on NL.
He says some intelligent stuffs but sometimes his wording and majority of the stuffs he talks about don't hit hard/miss the mark.



I disagree with you here. . . . .but we can always agree to disagree.

How do u determine "big" if not by length/surface area and mass?
Come on. . . . .everyone admitted Mode9 made a monumental goof when he spewed that.
Stars are bigger.



We can always agree to disagree. . . . .One man's food is another man's poison and vice versa.


I like rappers i learn from. . . .Canibus, Eminem, and a handful of others.

ROFLMAOWPIMP.

If you can do that as a rapper. . . . .U will have ma vote as the best.
That is what distinguishes a rapper from an EMCEE.
Most cats are just rappers cos they flow like they reading financial times but the real MCs take everything into consideration.
U have to know when to drop the rhyme. . . .it must tally with the snares to give a rhythmic flow.
Go and listen to Eminem on Patiently Waiting. . . . .

Rappers: Lil' Wayne, Fresh Prince, Kool Moe Dee, Lil Jon, Kanye West, etc.
EMCEEs: Canibus, Nas, Eminem, Immortal Technique, RAKIM, KRS-One, etc.

Where I'm from, the phrase 'you suck' doesn't come across as respectful . . .
Sauron replied like a gent because he didn't find your post offensive, I did . . . c'est fini

I never said anything about being a hiphop head, i only stated my opinion
You then accused me of imposing my views . . . It's eL's post for heaven's sake, no one's forcing you to accept it.

For heaven's sake, it's different strokes for different folks . . .
I think M.I's is Nigeria's best emcee, an opinion shared with more than half the Nigerian hiphop audience

How can you say M.I lacks brillant wordplay?? If M.I ain't poetry then who is??

You know what . . . I'm done here

@Sauron
It's just annoying when some Modestans start acting like other people don't have the right to speech
I heard this song with Djinee . . . I heard M.I seducing heavy bars with this sumblime delivery
And funy enough, he's got a good voice . . . that's music made in heaven
