Poor acceptance: “Get another job or…”,
Rugged man replies Mode 9


Last week’s emotional outburst from rapper Mode 9 “I
released an album and nobody cared” has gotten a
blunt reply from fellow-rapper Rugged man… ‘Get
another job or adapt’ he tells Mode 9.
Rugged Man was speaking on Hot FM’s breakfast radio
show and did not mince words. He said “Mode 9 is not
the only one that does the non-commercial kind of
rap. Basically if you are an entertainer you can’t do
music for yourself that’s why you are an entertainer.
Rugged Man
‘IF People you are made to entertain are not
entertained, you should do one of two things…get
another job or adapt’ am not saying this to be funny or
anything’. If something is not working anymore the
least you can do is try and adopt to what’s up’
‘Even in America at a point it was all Eastside …then
Westside, you can’t do anything about it, if you can’t
shape up, you shape out’
‘I actually started writing ‘ehen’ song in English but
paul play advised me ‘you are in Nigeria, make music
for Nigerians, add the local language so people could
understand, I put a little comedy to it by bringing in
Normoloss,
‘It’s not about how good you are but how smart you
are. I have said it ‘i don’t want to be ‘he can rap kinda
artist’ but ‘to be a successful artist’. ‘Switching your
style doesn’t make you any less of a human cos at the
end of the day ‘what you have achieved is what would
be asked.
