I'v finished reading all the comments.



So, lemme come n b going.

Who be this jasper again o, anyway I blame sound city trying to force all these fake african music down our throat. Is it by force to watch southafrican or tanzanian video ehn? When boys dey bust different levels for hr

Yes he is saying the true, but who rap help for naija.

He is right. How can we dominate rap when we celebrate wack noisemakers like olamide, phyno, lil kesh and small doctor? People who can't even string to proper English sentences together and whose only expertise is coming up with stupid and vulgar slangs. This mediocre rappers can't even get beyond west Africa with their rubbish music. We relegate real talented rappers like M.I to the background and celebrate quack rappers and expect to be taken serious by others? It can't work

Guys here don't know what the guy is saying. I believe there is difference between Afro hip hop and hip hop. The guy is referring to hip hop and which is the gospel truth. Nigeria rappers are noisemakers.

Ur trash only gave you 7 likes.. Sorry

Oh

Trueyarn:
Yeah right, that's coz South Africans couldn't export their original sound (south african house) to the world adequately, so they keep imitating the foreign hip hop culture, but they'll never do it like our black brothers there. But we in Nigeria have a sound and we have exported it successfully to the world. The sound is AfroBeat, and no other place will ever do it better than us. We will never be second best coz what we do is originally ours, it's like saying any country can outdo Jamaica in reggae/Ragga Dancehall. Keep your fake rap/hip hop. We will keep our original AfroBeat.

Twale for you bro, u make absolute sense. All these posters dont value what they have even if it is the best revolution in modern music. They want to keep mouthing english rap dropping punchlines that even americans have dropped bcause one fake zulu guy who calls himself the southafrican kanye west (because he lacks originality) now wants to trend in nigeria. Lol

Oya come dey go

After reading some comments here, I can bodily say some commenters are either ignorant or they choose to be stupidly parochial about this topical issue..
Casper corroborated M.I's earlier assertion that Naija rappers are whack and you guys are attacking the dude as if he lied.
Casper simply nailed it....his point is faultless. Whether we like it or not, SA rappers such as Casper, Nasty C, and AKA are leagues ahead of our rapping minnows. In fact, as a Hip Hop lover, anytime I listen to the lyrical iines of Lil kesh, Olamide, Phyno, Cdq,small Doctor etc, I shed tears.

Only MI, Jesses Jagz, Falz, and Vector kinda stand out 'small'.

If not for dstv, we for sabi casper? I m not even familiar with his tracks.

Do we still have rappers? Olamide is now a singer just like Phyno but they started their career as rappers. Sarkodie has never released any single as a singer.

Hip hop is hip hop, there's little difference between Afro and Classic, just a different tune but same concept. Nobody knows Casper beyond his little circle, no way in hell he has more fans across the world than Sarkodie or Olamide, this is the real fact. Go to London, come to Atlanta or Houston, you'll see what I'm talking about. Mode 9 tried the strictly hip hop route and what happened? He went up in flames! The Nigerian music industry is not ready for strictly hip hop, you must mix in the razzness and the Afro beats.

Except the old M.I of 2010.

Who is more popular around the world, Casper or Olamide? Before you answer, you might want to check Itunes sales, concert records and number of albums sold. The fact remains strictly hip hop will never sell in 9ja, our rappers had to redefine themselves in order to stay relevant!

M.l of 2010 was good, falz is not doing that badly though, but l still wonder wat folks see in Olamide or Small Doctor

I am a die hard hip hop/rap lover due to my early exposure to rap and hip hop music, which has infected and taken over my system. I don't just listen to naija jams because something is just missing, I just find it empty and unappealing.

Then I realized there's none doing rap/hip hop jams in Nigeria.
Logic 1800 on feat. Alicia Kara x Khalid always on repeat. Back to my music.

Your comment is on point bro.

Cassper's opinion, though.

PROVerb is still my best SA Rapper and I've got all his music collections.

ModeNine did break ground on SA too. Same with Ghana's M.anifest.

However, MI was right on his opinion about the wack state of Nigerian Hip-hop

Daejoyoung:

You are right!!!

eleojo23:
We don't know you in Nigeria

Or does anyone know this guy?

I don't.

Yea I know him. He just won the African best hip-hop artist award from sound city under our nose. his name is Cassper Nyovest. one of his jam I can stop listening to as from late last year till date is "destiny" ft Goapele. Beta jam, beta rapper.

he said it all...guys let revamp rap music...were are the rappers if we really wanna claim the boss on Africa music then we have to do rap also..presently we ain't gat any rapper on the international scene cauz re guys we call rappers "Olamide phyno lil kesh"aint rappers ..we talking about guys with the flow..dremo nd vector and ycee re trying on this bt we not there

#facts only.

I'm not a fan of rap music but the S.A hip hop scene is lit. Black Coffee just landed a residency in Las Vegas.

Even their music is of a higher quality.

Opiletool:
There's nothing African about their hip hop. American wannabes. When the likes of Ghanaian and Nigerian rappers infuse African terms and cultures into their style, these one won dey rap like Americans. I'd rather listen to the originators and not the copycats.

Why rap at all if you don't want to be term American wannabe? did rap itself originate from Africa or Nigeria?

whether Ghanaians/Nigerians rap with local dialects and infuse Africa terms is not the issue. in fact, that's probably why they are not that big in places people don't understand their language.

the truth is Casper and AKA are very good rappers. he's not that popular here in Nigeria because Nigerians don't like rap music, simple. our own rap artist are all Afro-pop artist in truth. they can rap, some can rap, but they don't rap.

real rap had died in naija. buh we are known worldwide for our bangs. meanwhile how comes wizkid won the award in which even cassper had applied to. i repeat rap= raps and poetry is dead in naija

Johnpaul01:
Who told him Nigerians listen to his songs, Let one south African DJ jam WO in their club and you will see them dancing as if money is involved

wetin be wo

We dey talk about hiphop


You dey talk about local rappers

Olamide phyno and reminisce no follow for hiphop

Only MI Iceprince Vector etched

So he is right

with what you said here, I still think you're emphasizing the point the guy you quoted made.

Olamide should be more popular quite alright. but for what? songs like shakitibobo, Goons Mi, and the likes way I no even care to know sef. Bro, all those songs are not Rap. people might say no be music sef. all the real rappers in 9ja be like underground artists - vector comes to mind.

popularity doesn't make you a better rapper. I've not heard a rap song from our so called popular rappers for ages.

for instance, Drake is more popular and richer and sells more records than Kendrick Lamar or j Cole. are you going to say drake is the better rapper because of this?

lol
ur comment is just like comparing nelly to taylor swift
of course taylor swift will win in sales and fanbase
hip hop has many branches and cass was referring to pure hip hop not pop rap like sum of d sounds u hear from drake,phyno and olamide who started as rappers
there is no pure hip hop in naija again and if we are to use ur comment as a yardstick it will be a long time before it returns
