There are some people here who'll be angry about 9 releasing a "commercial" album and if you ask them who their favorite American hip hop artistes are, they'll scream Pac or Biggie or Jigga. Listen fo0ls, those guys all release only commercial albums if not their labels will kick them out. This is naija and not america so stop trying to deceive us please people like Comon or KRS One who hardly release commercially succesful albums still make their money of itunes and other download sites, if Mode9 puts All his songs on itunes @ 0.99 cents per song will you buy ?

So, what are u insunuating?

At least Mode9 has etched his name in Nigeria's history, what the Bleep has any of you berating loud mouths done to even warrant a post on NL?

Mode9 is the best lyrisict I EVER heard, Jay-z can't tie his laces when he is in his beast Mode.

johnwizey: So, what are u insunuating?

appreciate your home market, if we need americana mc's, we'll go to america. Gbam

I just can't wait. My number 1 nija rapper. Mode baba welcome back.

Ejiné:

You just spoke my mind, dude. Modo was busy wearing sweatpants and oversized XXL T-Shirts trying to break into the Nigerian music scene WTF!?
De old man dey talk about his imaginary enemies in his albums wey no dey even sell past 9 copies.

Just waking up now in 2013 when people like Bracket, Davido, Burna Boy, Omawunmi, Ice Prince, BrymO and even Chidinma don make waves past the self-professed "King of Hip-hop" within such a short period of time.

Oh well, as Rick Ross would say... "We talkin' money, you talkin' nonsense".

watin u sabi. All what you appreciate Is all d nonsense music u guys hear all around. AV u for once sit down on ur f**king sit and hear what d guy is saying. I can't even blame u maybe the grammar is too big to understand.

This is irony at its best.

javalove: No comments for now. . .


#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

Javalove is this true?

Revolva: Our music industry is the most bleeped up in the world...too commercial and those that have the real song in them are left to roast..
Look imagine lyricist like alabai singin ogbanje..kai!! I wan laff..he has no choice than to follow the bandwagon..now mode9 wan dey do tille tille with dammy krane..o lord..this country is sick..where as niggaz like canibus, nas, krs one still dey chop weller from their works ..despite they are ol g's..na alaba cause all dese..they don't help upcoming they only buy commercial album hitz only

True talk bro yet peeps with intelligence myopia come to NL and Spit Cow dungs,dissing d 9iner.Mtcheew joor.

talktimi: Many naija rap artistes don't even know what keeping it real means.
Keeping it real means your general audience feel, understand and appreciate what you're trying to tell them through your music of course you still have to count your bars properly intermixing with relevant punchlines and metaphors, you don't just bring one americana swag into naija thinking everybody must bow down. That's battle rap and its meant for the streets when you're still trying to make your name.
Till tomorrow, I'll still rate Dagrin and Olamide higher than mode 9 for the simple reason that they can/could relate with their audience perfectly well even though they rap in their narive yoruba language. Its not coming "down" to our leve, its being realistic about your environment. You can't sell ice to an eskimo.

Bros na you make sense die for here. What is hip hop without local content. If you ask me the only standards in hip hop is delivery, arrangement and lyrical content and all this can be done in any language as long a you have the characteristics down. I will forever pick a Nigerian rapping in local languages that meets the said characteristics over nay other person anyday. Reason because i feel and understand him.

The only rapper that can come close to Mode9 in Africa is Proverb. To me ,Mode9 is my textbook...he has a huge fan base here in PH.

lyricalpontiff: The only rapper that can come close to Mode9 in Africa is Proverb. To me ,Mode9 is my textbook...he has a huge fan base here in PH.

. . .and yet he remains a broke ass, 'broker' than new one-hit-wonder kids in the music industry. That says a lot about his "huge" fan base. Either his "fans" are as skint as he is, or they are miserable cheapskates that refuse to put food on his table by buying his albums and paying premium cheddar to attend his 'niche' shows.

Only wicked souls would wish he remains loyal to such a miserable "fan base" - to his own detriment.

This is irony at its best.

LOL! No mind all these oversabi olodos wey full NL. It's high time Seun introduced parental advisory. Otherwise, dem go teach person pikin absolute nonsense for here.

better person, you even hit the nail better than I did. Delivery, arrangement and lyrical content... These are the main things if not Big Pun, Wyclef etc wouldn't have rapped in their native Spanish and creole languages, even as they did, it has never diminished their relevance in the hip hop industry. The gangster rap we all try to emulate is performed in hood slangs that can be likened to our own pdgin english ie street english. You can't come here speaking about glocks when I'm more conversant with awka made, 2 by 4 or rapping about cops when ekelebe or awon olopa is what I understand. You're just speaking greek in the midst of russians. I'm a heavy Wu Tang fanatic, I modelled my rap style after Inspectah Deck and Nas, I listen to tha Gravediggaz, Bone Thugs, Dr Dre, some Rick Ross and Erick Sermon. I say it again, if I want americana rap, I know where to go to and its definitely not mode9, not that I ahte him but Olamide, Phyno, @Ebubedike1 et al just sound more original and refreshing to me. Period

OMG modo is about to make the greatest mistake of his life because he can never do this commercial so well, its not his style and can never be

Modo is about to loose us(his fans) whom has been following him from the days of elbow room hit, and him thinking he will automatically gain ground in the market because of his switch is a big lie

He's about to loose all his fans, goodluck to you shaa

Wooow!!! I just heard a track from Mode-9!!! Badboi baller is d track!

Really kool stuff, really. No bias...nice come back mode, it'll be a hit. Mi likey

You guys need a dead blow.

the_ripper2: He don realise say hunger go kill am if he continue all dis Gangsta shiit. See where him, Overdose and Terry the rapman dey after years of sweat and blood and tyros like Olamide and ice prince dey enjoy airplay and cheddar. Old man wey dey wear tracksuit up and down they slay imaginary enemies not knowing se Money na d KOKO.

Learn from Jigga and evolve. Wish u well sha.

please can u explain how he can learn from jigga?

i thought u were a real hip hop head until u mentioned rick ross, i am so disappointed, his lyrics his shit!!!!

larry_jayz: i thought u were a real hip hop head until u mentioned rick ross, i am so disappointed, his lyrics his shit!!!!

ross has his advantages too, I study beats and instrumentals too and I like some of his underground battle raps

Modenine was featured on a new track by DJ Vinnee alongside Eedris Abdulkareem and V-tec titled Baller. He came correct on the song as usual and Abdulkareem was on point with a blend of pidgeon english, Yoruba and Hausa.

‘Going commercial‘ will never deprive any track with Modey on it lyrical depth. Even if he spits on a fuji beat (which he can do if he wants to), he will still come correct.
BTW, Alphabetical Order is out, support and get a copy.

most nigerians are intellectual myopic.geez comparing the modo with all those charlatans y'all called rappers.that why a Ganiy fahemwin will lose an election to an obasanjo in this gaddem country.we are so stuck to mediocrity.y'all get your butts to other African countries and see the respect modo commands ther.goodluck to y'all as you stuck to the shyte y'all call music.a look at the b.e.t cypher modo make all your under per favourite rappers look like a couple of village town criers.and to the fuccktard that say the modo is broken.y'all just demented simpleton the modo can feed your generations for years.his music ain't for brain dead goons.he sings for those that their I.q can decipher what he is saying.through constant book reading and lines from movies.how many of y'all simpletons even read books to be able to know what he is referring to in his punchlines.nuff said to the brain dead goons.
