Who's Got Lyrics: Ruggedman Or Modenine?

dude, maybe u didn't listen to ruggedy baba, he fully dissed mode9 on that album but the only thing was that he stopped mentioning names

Not this shit again! Mode9 is overrated, Geez

we all know he can't get a record deal with those lyrics in the us, so , where's the right place

@eldee
i heard and digested the lyrics for good,  damn straight,  he was beefing modenine. but listening to the lyrics very well again, he couldn't come into conclusion what he is actually doing,  first verse,  " he believes he's keeping it real by speaking what his people can feel"  Second verse: "he says when he was keeping it real, he couldn't buy good cloth or shoe" .  but there's no problem, he said it at the beginning of his first verse    ",  playing my controversial character". bottom line, he dissed modenine but not in the lyrical way [ if you know what i mean] Ghetto P dissed Mode9 the lyrical way,  Ruggedman has lil space in the lyrical world

talkin about modenine's place in US.  I guess Talib Kweli, Pharaohe Monch, Immortal Technique, Mos Def, Blackthought, Strong Arm steady are all somewhere,  he would probably be one of those places,  atleast they all leave in the U.S doing that lyrical sh*t,

By saying modenine has no space here, you're saying we are not developed to his kind of music,  that's limiting us,  abeg
we've got a lot of hiphop heads feeling modenine in nigeria

Mode nine has some nice lines,but he got a lotta crapy ones 2.I.E 'u a king so i kong u' WTF? Or 'i eat rappers like they made of eggrolls' .9 is overated.

@Tjscale
              At least, i respect u for the fact that u appreciate good rap tunes. The simple explanation is that after rugged redefined the rap industry, naija rap started getting too hardcore and too fake. The fact is that mode is too fake for nigerians. The only way u feel his lyrics is if u actually grew up in the streets of new york, with drug dealers and drive-by gang killing. he just can't describe the agberos' and the bus drivers.(Don't mention Stylee. that was the worst piece of shit he ever spat out). And listen to rugged's opinion


And say Paul Play/
Had a hand in letting me know/
What it will take for me to rearrange and eventually blow/
While you sit around and talk shit /
our elders mock our shit/
Cos of our too much metaphorical out of space type shit/
When some rap/
Dem no know where we dey come from/
Back then two rappers on stage was like seven throwing a tantrum/
We need to change that/put a face to our music/
Let the world know where we come from/
Let no one abuse it/

Ruggedy Baba (Second Verse)


And u could listen to Abia State's Finest- 2Shotz Ft Ruggedman

9 is good probably the best, but his flows dont reflect the nigerian society. he sounds like he is from the bronx, example '' i will tie your mouth with barbed wire'' . true hiphop reflects where u from like dirty south, east coast and west coast rap dont sound alike. Now he is singing about nigerian girls
Rugged on the other hand gave hiphop in nigeria a lifeline with ehen. his verses in ruggedibaba may sound contradictory but it reflects the truth. hiphop is truth
to compare listen to nutty pin's ''livin it up'' they were both on the track

I think rugged is the more complete rapper cos his album is off the hinges u can play all the songs

Bouzymill
u talkin crap.how can sometin b made of a finished product(eggrolls)?
and wats d meanin of 'konging' sum1?
cos u wana kick a punchline is not an excuse 2 spew garbage on tracks!

dude, no-one is not understanding mode now, (and even if they don't, it doesn't make them fools), but the fact that they don't feel him, doesn't mean they don't understand him. and bro, i listen to more nas, jay and pac than u could ever imagine but that does not kill the fact that i need the nigerian feel in nigerian songs.  since modenine does not have that, i don't think he should be rated as the best in nigeria.

some people are jobless man, i mean listen to bouzymill and kaydee talk. you guys are not making sense. eldee is the shit man.(at least so he thinks) so please people leave the madman alone. abi na by force? how would you ever make sense to a person who aint got it? and eldee? you want something nigerian, i'll give it to you, oo gbon. and thats basic.

Its obvious mode9 is a beta lyricist

Bouzy
stop showcasing your madness in public.i undastand evrytin mode9 says.but sometimes in an attempt 2 kick a punchline he says sily shit,like d 2 i quoted.'eggroll' is a finished product n cant b used 2 make sumn else.
its like sayin 'made of televisions',wtf?

no need for plenty talk

mode 9 is dha best,regardless of how u look at it.
lyrically or his ability to rap
come on,check out the GLO advert,that advert alone is a hit.

the guy is the best,he won three channelO awards last year

[oops, my bad,that must me kennis music handwork also ]

I done said it before, i'll say it before, mode9 is way way overrated over this shit. the way u mode9 fans d*ckride mode9 is so apalling and disgusting, it eventually turns pathetic and amusing. Ocho cinco perfectly got the Big picture with this : "doing the right thing at the wrong place". But i'll rather rephrase that statement - modo's simply applying his skills in a society that doesn't recognise the manner in which he applies his skills. Try as you may to deny this, the objective of any rapper/mc is to reach as many people as possible music-wise and commercially, starting with the grassroot. You don't try explaining a situation to a Nupe in Yoruba, neither do u communicate to folks in Ajegunle/Mafoluku/Orile/Oshodi in    Queens English when the lingua franca of these areas is Pidgin! The point here is the music doesn't determine your soceity, your soceity determines the music. Simple, yet twisted as A fuckin' B C = n!/(n-r)! .x+1/y-2(dy/dy[n-r]n!) 

@ritchboi
i just see how hard it is to upgrade your IQ, no matter how hard i try, you'll always be a "half-wit" you are.
guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! you don dey vex me,  Do they eat Television in in your village,  when you are hungry, you eat sumtin "eatable" not television,  and stop your finishd product rubbish,  like we're in economics class,
if you don't understand english or any natural language, FIX YOUR CAM AND LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU IN A SIGN LANGUAGE,  n*tw*t

@ wordsmith
"Try as you may to deny this, the objective of any rapper/mc is to reach as many people as possible music-wise and commercially, starting with the grassroot."

how the f u c k anyone can open their mouths and spew nonsense like that is beyond my imagination. and i'm a writer. take a trip to all the highclass malls in town and you get to see swatch stands in every single one of them. thats their objective.

then ask yourself this. where the f u c k do they sell rolexes in lagos?

how many LG  centres have you seen around and how f u c k i n g large are they? take a trip to v/island and see the tiny corner  office that houses bang and olufsen.

its beta to keep silent and have people ponder about your stupidity than to speak and get it confirmed
