jelel6: This topic is about who is more popular or relevant, it has nothing to do with who is better! Rakim was a better rapper than B.I.G and Nas but definitely not as popular. Forget about the dialect or the language of the rap/what the artiste are doing now; once a rapper always a rapper. Go and listen to voice of the streets, Ilefo Iluminati and tell me those were whack raps because it did not conform to traditional hip hop style.....bullsh*t! 1 Like |

LZAA: Cass generalized and hence is guilty of that fallacy. You said the right thing, hip hop has many branches, to say Nigerian rappers are not aS popular or relevant because they chose another branch different from Cass is just plain WRONG! Pure hardcore rap is dying and even the greatest of rappers like Eminem, Jay Z and so on had to mix in a little bit of modern pop just to sell their albums. Cass reminds me of Mode 9, very good flow but in the end, you remain stuck in the little pure rap fan base that remains. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Anyone saying negative things about this is not a hip pop fan as good music can come from anywhere... don't argue with me ask M.I. |

LZAA: You said they've always gone together and I disagree! By pop I'm assuming we are talking about modern pop, the kind that blossomed in the 1990s and early 2000s. Imagine Rakim featuring Justin Timberlake or Nas in his prime featuring Justin Bieber, it's a sin man, SIN Anyways real rap crumbled with the deaths of Pac and Big, Eminem tried to bring it back but the music industry is in love with all these softies. Niggaz chose to get paid than to stick with pure rap, I can't blame them much tho 2 Likes |

abbey621:so im guessing u didn't hear jodeci or michael(the king of pop) oh btw rap(pure rap) started declining around 07 not after pac and big u had songs like hate me now -nas dangerous,put ur hands-busta what's happenin-methodman izzo,big pimpin,song cry-jayz not to mention other pure rap hits from their deaths to 07 notice how i didnt call weezy cuz most of d new breed science students rappers followed his lead oh and long as cats like cole,k dot,montana are around pure rap is still alive |

abbey621: yes, the topic is who is more popular and relevant. But popular and Big as what? not afro-pop, but hip hop. even though your argument about Rakim being a better rapper than Nas and B.I.G is debatable, I'll take your word for it for the sake of argument. But at least, it is a fair comparison. they are all Rappers and Hip Hop, strictly. it is like comparing three Rakims or Biggies Or Nasses, at the end, they are all doing Pure Hip Hop. there is no drake among them who appeal to pop and RnB fans to skew the popularity contest. Casper was talking about popularity as a hip hop movement or mover, not some rapper who sings on Afro beats and do afro pop. Shakitibobo is more popular and appreciated than any rap song you think olamide has. I may well ask, is olamide not more pop and Afro beat than Hip Hop? 2 Likes |

jelel6: Tell me how many pure hip hop fans do you think remains in the entire world? How about Nigeria alone? When someone calls you out in terms of popularity saying, "you are unknown in their country and around the world", do you think he was truly referring to pure hip hop fans or in general? come on now, let's not be blatantly sentimental! |
Re: Nigerian Rappers Are Unknown In South Africa - Cassper Nyovest by abbey621(m): 8:35pm On Jan 17, 2018 |
LZAA: I beg to differ again, jayz, busta rhymes and even Nas had to mix in modern pop in other to stay relevant, they started out big and true but after 2000 they had to adapt. Big pimpin is definitely a credit to pure rap but compare it to Numb or even his latest album, it' not hard to see that pure rap is DEAD and BURIED! 1 Like |

FACT: Rap originates from US, right? Now it is an International Genre, when you perform it for sure it will have US elements but it is a big lie for one to say SA artist are US wannabes. Because SA rap itself is unique and of high quality and its only less exposure. Cassper is honest and on point and not trying to offend, so I think Hip-hop or music heads will handle this post better. Even Davido Congratulated Cassper for filling up FNB Stadium, even when Hip Hop is not no 1 genre in SA. That shows how South African are matured when it comes to music. 5 Likes

abbey621: I'm the last person to be sentimental, really. Casper mentioned Hip Hop as it relates to African rappers. I'm only sticking to what he said and not presume anything else. He Mentioned SA Hip Hop and rappers, so I'm assuming he's referring to pure Hip Hop Fans, which is the home Base of any rapper worth His salt. |
