'Nigerian' Hip Hop Doesnt Make Sense

what else do u want, are u trying 2 tell me that u cant difrencitate 2face from usher, well that differentiation, is 9ja hiphop,

we should probably also look for a name for Nigerian R&B because it didn't originate from here. dont kid urself , man Hip hop is Hip Hop, whether done in America or in the Amazon Forest. it is a culture that is handed down from people to people.

sharrap your mouth there, how can you say Fuji has nothing to do with urban culture? is it not in the slums and ghettos of Mushin and others in Lagos that Fuji came out? Fuji is as urban if not more urban than the so called hip hop.

naija hip hop is the local branch/flavoring of the thing - even in the US there's West, East, Dirty South and so on, still part of hip hop.

get lost my friend!! fuji my ass once again!! bla bla bla!! fuji more urban than hip hop? sharrap your dirty mouth

dont care wat ya'll think, but nigeria's got hiphop and itz a good on 2 , was listening 2 that tony tetuilla, aids soong, erm . . ,  . . dtaz one crap hiphop

@ everybody and the whole bloody topic:

seriously people, i don't see what the fuss is. "Naija Hiphop" is just another way of saying "Hiphop from naija" or hiphop with a Nigerian flavour in it, so what the bloody hell?

Nigerian hiphop is as existent as any other genre, you know. do u know that hiphop has so many other genres under it? this is one of 'em

So many people in this forum and in Naija on a bigger scale have taken the name of hiphop in vain. Hiphop is not just a brand of music, its a a culture, its a lifestyle and the voice of a generation. It transcends the boundaries and domains of race, countries and different peoples of the world. I find it difficult to swallow when people try to attach appendages such as "Afro Hiphop",  "Naija Hiphop" and other such nondescrpit appellations to Hiphop.

Matter of fact, Hiphop is Hiphop irrespective of the kind of flavor added to it. Be that Nigerian flavor, Ghanaian  flavor or whatever. I've seen Dr Dre add some Indian flavor to his music and I'm still to hear him call it Indian Hiphop. That genre of music called Naija hiphop is nothing but a fatherless child, a damned bastard and real hiphop heads should beware! I really dont know where they got that crap from. Thats why most naija artistes are so whack I dont watch tv anymore.

Enuff said, Hiphop is Hiphop!!

Hip Hop is a message,message for the oppressed,message of corruption,message of ignorance, message of unfaithfulness,message of wisdom and breakthroughs,it dosn't matter weather you are in america,nigeria,england or jamaica, black or white,just say it and say it right for the the people to listen.

Whats d meanin' of Mo jay?

Modenine jack'd your line?

Oh, I see.

To begin my point I will start with Eldee. He is the most underrated African Artist that ever stepped foot on this planet.

In America right now, Hip Hop is being dominated by South Rappers, the dirty south boys,  Ludacris, Young Buck, Lil Jon, Chamillionaire, T.I etc,  What most of these South Rappers have in common with the exception of Ludacris, T.I and Cha,  is "repetitiveness" and lack of lyrical ability. The truth is HipHop and Rap today in the states is whack. The days of MCs are over.

There are a few people keeping the industry alive, like; The Game, Dr Dre (retired), Twista, T.I.,,  These Rappers are the best in the world, now if you say Nigerian HipHop is whack, I guess you could say that but the reality is that Nigerian Artists like Eldee, Sip Easy,  Are just as good as the best in the states,

Listen to Eldee's song "Damn Woo oo oo" and compare to AMERICAN Artists with 6 zero salaries like "Lil Jon, Diddy, Pharrell, East Side boys etc.

Yes there are a lot of unprofessional artists in the Nigerian Music Industry, but people fail to realize that some Nigerian artists are better than their favorite American rappers,

FACT, 

Yes Nigerian Hip Hop doesn't make sense, but only an idiot would say that American Hip Hop makes sense.

99% of Hip Hop/Rap Songs from the US. don't make sense,

Ludacris, Young Buck, Fitey, Lil Jon, Busta Rhymes, Eminem and others don't make sense in their songs,

This is an Extract from Lil Jon's Song "Get Crunk"

What exactly is a "Bitch nigga" and how do you get Straight crunk??

Most rappers in the US these days are simply people from the Ghetto or Suburbia looking for a way to earn a living. Most of them aren't the "Gangsters" they portray themselves to be, and those that are over exaggerate the issues they go through.

Someone like The Game is as much a Gangsta as the 14 year old Suburban Kid in London who admires his music and wears Hip Hop Jewelery. The Game is and never was a Gangster. He came into the game to put food on the table,  People criticize Nigerian Rappers for trying to present this same Gangsta "Stereotype" When there are probably more Gangstas in Nigeria than in America.

If Compton is a War zone with Bloods and Crips "With they Clips" then what is Port Harcourt, or Kano when a Porno comes put.

Yall Remember "NWA" "Niggaz with Attitude" That group was arguably one of the most controversial in Rap History. They had the "FBI" on their tails Yet the only Gangsta in the group was Eazy E, and Aids laid waste to him not a gat.

You can criticize the level of originality in the Nigerian HipHop scene, but then what do you call "Tu Face, P Sqaure, Eldee?

Most of their songs are riddled with Nigerian issues and Pidgin English etc.

What is more bizarre? A Nigerian Artist presenting himself as an "American Gangsta" or American Artists like The Ying Yang Twins??

@DBlock
Man,  I would agree with you because i realized most of what you listen to and call HipHop are nothing but the derailed ones,  If you look at what hiphop stands for you would realize that you've not been listening to the right hiphop. When you listen to more of HipHop, you would meet the real HipHop. The days of Mcs are not over and hiphop is not of Whack. I don't know of R and B. if you want me to list positive rappers and real mcs i will.
