As far as I know, Modenine do songs without dissing anybody and his fans enjoy them. Ruggedman I feel threatened with the success of CRY and the support Mode got from Nigerians hence, the reason he was 'addressing this issue of keeping it real . . . ' in Ruggedy baba. That was a short at Modenine and it would have been an act cowardice form Modenine part not to reply. UnExpectedly, he replied with Talking to you and the rest is history. Anyway, I still wish all of them (All Nigerian Artistes) Goodluck and hopefully it won't go beyond war of words

Abdurazaq u dissapoint me!
There is no justification 4 mode9 dissing rugged!

How can u say he was addressing cry with ruggedy baba?

Haba Rasaki, reply that question nah

We all kno rugged brags about his ability to rap in pigin english. The guy is good in that style. Ruggedybaba was not aimed at mode Atall. If u r lookin 4 tracks stylishly aimed at mode listen to 'waka waka' and ' to whom it may concern' . Don't 4get mode in his mixtape and album also aimed stylishly at rugged which spun him to do those warnin tracks in Ruggedy baba.
Mode started the whole shit and that is why i'l remain with rugged. Don't tell me he doesn't diss in his tracks, did u at all listened to his first album. Check 'Katigori'

The diss part is d best part in the rap act. It makes it all interestin so the artist don't keep resting.

Chai!! OMO i don de rhyme sha

@ darequam

Do research before you say anything about beef between 2 artist.

That's all i will tell you dude, dont wanna start giving you fact that Rugged started this beef shit.

But no comment

Word!

I said Ruggedman felt threatened by the acceptance of CRY, the reason he stated that 'Is it speaking in English or speaking your mother tongue . . . ' I forgot that actual line from Ruggedy baba
Well this is definitely my opinion. Why will Ruggedman do a track like speak your mind to someone he wasn't taking a shot at.

Check out this line from Ruggedy baba

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 thatput a face to our music
Let the world know where we come from
Let no one abuse it

and this line from the same song.

Is it singing or rapping like Oyibo or doing what you and your own people can feel?

Those lines fit Modenine very well in Nigeria and the reason he replied stylishly with Talking to you and Death blow 1. Well That's what I feel.

Guy quit all this jare,it wast a reply to cry!
The chorus of cry was even plain igbo sef

You're right, but the verses were in English

Aint sayn wether ruggedy baba wasnt 4 mode o!
All am sayn is that he didnt do the song cos mode9 did cry,neither did he do it cos cry was a hit

Ruggedman should retire already!!!!


Am pweety sick of al dis rugged vs modey thingy!!!

Sum people are beginin 2 sound lyk scratched cd's


at least i wd hv sum respite until rugged claims he wnts to do an encore by popular demand!!!

Jeje xplain ursef o

Huh?

Why should rugged retire when he already announced he is about to drop his last album?
@abdul
the track he did with 9ice isn't at all against mode and Mr khanye if u got any fact to show pls let me kno

I honestly don't like dropping opinions at times, but I would say, before anybody forms one on this issue, let the person listen to 'Talking to You' (Mode ft Banky W); then listen to Ruggedman's 'Banging' before listening to Death Blow, that way, you escape making any biased judgment, and let's not forget that it's fans that create wars while CEO's make money.

Pac and BIG are gone, but Suge and Diddy are still here, and Diddy made (and still makes) more dough from Biggie in death than when he was alive, what started as artistic battle took a bad twist when fans added theirs to it, We don't want to go that way, I assure you.

War brings peace. If modenne didn't get @ ruggedman, he won't have realised how whack he was!

Word!

@khanye
Suge knight is dead.
n who told u rugged is wack?
why did it take mode so long to hit rugged?
Mode is down he is only takin on rugged 2 boost d sales of his album.
that is d point. hate rugged or love him my guy is still bangin.
he is used 2 love n hate since d beginin of his career.

If this guy does'nt want anyone talking about him, he should quit talking about people doing what they feel is HIP HOP, be it Broken english or otherwise,

what the F is his business Ruggedman,should do his thing i mean whatever it is that u do(Reggeaton,dancehall,whatever) i kno it aint hip hop, and shut the mess UP, it aint all about money. Its about doing something u ar happy doing and look back in the future and be proud of yourself.

Rugged wont reply death blow because he got no lyrics upstairs to drop.

Mumu

@khaye
there is need 2 right d wrongs dat is what rugged did with ehen,believe it or not.
death blow is not correctin any wrong it look like a personal beef n not professional.

dammiecool:

Why was rugged bragging that he had more money and Mode's album is Flip Flop.

Ruggedman came into the game dissing his fellow artists and nobody replied him. Now modenine is teaching him some lesson.

I Think i had to bring dis back for the second time.I wrote somethin dat peeps keep have certain misconception about.
So here it goes.

Ruggedman na oloshi.
I Think its high time i settle this modenine and ruggedman stuff 4 good.
So now listen up,
[b]2002/2003 when ruggedman came out with the track Ehen,he said he did the track to get out to the mainstream and moreso,OJB who produced d track said on MBI that they(him &ruggedman) had already met with those that he mentioned on the Ehen track that he was coming out with somethin like that.So d stupid ass was tryin 2 get attention from peeps which he did get.So for that,Fuk this guy,He AIN'T 4 REAL.
And again if u listen to the Ehen track 1st Verse,he said,
*No more games,i go go straight,
i go NAME NAMES,i no go lay blames,
na time to flog with cane*
So he made it categorically that he will Name Names.Now listen to track Ruggeddeybaba FT 9ice:All through d track he was preaching about soundin/rappin in ur mother tongue but he never mentioned anyname,WHY?,Simple,he was scared,he couldn't have.And again,if u listen to the 3rd verse of that song,he said;
*My rules are,speaking in whatever language but make sense,i did that and have been hot ever since that*.
What am tryin to say from this is that,havin been preachin bout soundin in ur mother tongue and at d end of the song he had so say that,so that mean he's contradicting himself.
Here what i will tell y'all:Modenine can't do rap more that how he's doing it.So y keep hatin on d brother and most importantly,its a free world,its either u listen to Mode or act like you don't know.them no force u.
STOP HATIN ON HIM AND STOP this MODE DISS THIS GUY AND that.[/b]

Rugged neva cleared anythin

Explain 4rm now till tomoro,the point remains that ruggedman cleared the rap game! Simple
if he didnt,mode9 wld av died underground!

Shhhhhhhhhh. . . . . . . .

@OJUKALU
DID RUGGED EVER SAID RUGGEDYBABA WAS A DISs TRACK?
Capital NO!!
The only reason why he did the track was to emphasis the fact that its better when u do something original to suit those in ur enviroment and not trying to copy outsiders.
Simply by using ur native language so more peeps around u will understand which is the main reason why he is more popular than mode. Example - Timaya(thou not a rapr but is attachd 2 every bit of is motherland)
The use of simple english doesn't make u whack(rugged) neither will the use of complex metaphors confirm u to be da best rapper(mode)
like 50cent said, 'all a nigga need is a lil bit' which is exactly what tha rave of the moment (M.I) is doin. (in between)
if u call mode or rugged wack again, i'l take things to another level.

darequam:

lmfao
u be wetin

I be nothing for now except the same me,
Mind u i base my arguements on facts and not hatred or sentiments.

Make una tell Rugged make him leave ModeNine o,
Mode Nine no well o, He's lyrically ill
Rugged thinks he can continually make a 'brandname' by dissing people
but all he's going to do is make a 'bad name'
He's toyingwith the wrong dude dis time,
He's toying wit the Ninestein? Ish,
