Hmm!nice review except some disgusting statements like saying since mode 9 makes songs people dont want to listen to,then he will keep winning best lyricist;adding that the category was specially created for him

@dammie. Do you mean the category should be scrapped? It's obvious mode 9 is a close pal of Ayo but we must not forget mode has also be beaten to the best rap album and album of the year categories for two straight years  |

As long as modenine is alive and keeps making those rap songs no one wants to listen to,he will keep winning this award.mode has been with HHW from the very beginning and will keep winning this category even if M.I is lyrically better than him.infact iam starting to think they created this category just for him,if not how do you justify mode winning this.during last year's award when hiptv presenters asked him how he felt about the awards modenine rhymed this" whether we win or lose,we will still go home and eat our food"and he even went as far as pointing it out to the presenters like "you see,i rhymed there".Is this in whom you place your faith? Please where is javalove? Did mode9 really say this?if he did that sucks,more like nursery rhyme   |

i know that award exists in BET and a few other awards but i can't help thinking that award is irrelevant in the scheme of things.
why is it an exclusivity of rap music in HHWA?
why should the criteria for the rap album of the year not include lyrical content?
i see no point in giving one award for rap album of the year and giving another one for lyricist of the year to another rap album.
it is my view that the lyrical about Mode 9 is vastly overrated. i see nothing deep in his lyrics (taking nothing away from them)and i find the rhymes often lame.

Thank you very much for that, I totally agree with you on that, Im not saying Mode9 is a bad rapper, but he is very very far from the hype he seems to get, there is nothing really lyrical about a bunch of metaphors/punchlines geared either to diss some1 or over hype oneself, I don't even think he can do well in spoken word, and from what I've heard from him, he would sweat just to write good poetry, |

i may agree with both of you but can u name any other rapper in nigeria, i mean a nigerian rapper who is as good as modenine lyrically if u say he is well overrated, maybe if u can pick one out of all the nigerian rappers who are better lyrically than modenine then i will totally agree to your shallow points, thank you and will be waiting for your response. well before u reply me, maybe u need to remember that greats hiphop artiste like nas,talib kweli will i am,wyclef,ll cool j ,proverb, wordsmith ,Dj premier from newyork and jay z, have all given props to modenine for his lyrical prowress, may be u both good in understanding what hiphop means than those greats. pls remember we judging modenine on the scale of nigerian rappers, tell me any other rapper that have international recognition than modenine, pls will be waiting for your response, thank you all |

so because Etcetra is the best Nigerian rock (soft rock) artiste in Nigeira, saying he is an extremely gifted rock artiste does not make him overrated?? have you ever heard the phrase 'king in the land of the blind'? Naija rap artistes are representing no doubt.they are trying.mode might be the best lyrically (that is debatable as much as you might deny it) but i insist that his lyrical prowess is vastly over rated. don't even start that thing about Nas, JayZ et al bigging him up. provide the context in which does comments were made and it will be most likely proven that it was diplomatic talk. same thing happens when football players pay respect to their oponents before matches, so as not to appear disrespectful and arrogant. to the best of my knowledge those comments were made whn those fellas came to our shores. they had to name one of the hip hop stars as being exceptional.they just had to.it would be disrespectful not to. if you can prove to me that Nas was interviewed in America or during a tour of Europe and he named Mode as one of the potential next big thing in hip hop, then i will accept your argument. the guy is okay but the lyrical ability attributed to him by his fans is vastly over rated. |

well, so what was your arguement then, this is nigeria awards and we judging them by nigeria standard and u just said , have you ever heard the phrase 'king in the land of the blind'? so why the arguement again. tell me which other nigerian rapper have met all the greats that i just mentioned, if mode wasnt that good, he wont be allowed to lace a verse on dj premier beat or u dont know who dj premier is, will help yu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Premier, check that link,go and listen to modenine last mixtape over djpremier, then u will see an interview dj premier did for hot 97 fm, in newyork where he talked about modenine and why he respected him. <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/3mS68x0z7go&hl=en&fs=1"" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/3mS68x0z7go&hl=en&fs=1"</a>]]>check the above video, that is will i am, in southafrica on mtv award when he was naming his best african rappers, have u being to southafrica where they have good lyricist and they even respect this brother(modenine)hustle, its a shame pple are never respected in thier own country, shame |

c'mon yall
give the guy his props abeg.
we all know he is not commercially appealing but to say he's not an ill emcee? nah man
modes material to me is still light years ahead of what is coming out of naija hip hop.
M.I is trying to bridge that gap in terms of mass appeal and lyrical content but he aint as deep as 9.
im pretty sure he knows it too.
as for him being overrated and being 'the one eyed king in the land of the blind', well until a normal person comes with two eyes, lets all follow his lead abeg

Congratulations to all the winners of the 2009 Hip-Hop World Awards.
The biggest surprise was Et Cetera winning the Recording of the Year Award. Well, Et Cetera is a good singer no doubt.
A song does not have to be a party or dance track for people to apprecitate it.
Eminem's "Beautiful" is not a party track but people love it.
Once again, congrats to all the winners.

in the state where NIGERIA is today i think we need less danceable songs and songs with conscious lyrics, cos most of us dont even know what we really want in music, we just want to dance dance and dance our life away even at a rubbish song with bad lyrics but fat beats, its a terrible state.
why must everything u listen to makes u dance----ruqus
