If yu catch ma drift ma broda,
Know say I love her and odas as I love yu.

Well, I haven't really paid much attention to JigsawKillah but going by his recent "flips" , he come across to me as a rapper who is fearless . Everybody, wants a pound of flesh of him ,that alone goes to show that the young lad is making a SPELL .

Undoubtedly, JigsawKillah remains one of the best poets this forum can boast of. Infact, he'd effortlessly get a place in 'my best 5', for he has the very rare ability of passing his messages across with the most simple, yet the most striking of words. That was the same thing I found charming about Charles Bukwoski. Infact, to give Jigs a nickname like 'NL's Bukwoski' wouldn't really be a bad idea...

One thing still baffles me though, and that is the complexity of his rap verses. While he is being revered for possessing poetry verses that are simple, yet striking, I've always had a hard time trying to figure out what his rap bars mean.

His, is a personality that really baffles me.

llaykorn, I totally agree with you ...Maybe, your younger bro has been misled by the media.Well, Lupe Fiasco comes to me as rapper that gives me headache sometimes trying to understand .What is your take on Nas and Lupe Fiasco ?

I haven't really listened to works by any of those. Will you recommend some really good ones from them?

Might I Woo Thee?



Lanicky, see as you siddon dey break my heart
Devil dey worry person but love dey play him part
Your nor go code, but them done clear you how crase take dey start?
My heart na engine, you be the key, na you dey make me start
I fit woo you? I dey fear if you say so
You be first class chick, you go need ego
Na the reason wey dey make me dey hail yayo
The same reason wey stress done make my head flat pass table
I fit gist you? I be street boy wey never sure of him break fast
You be rich girl, you and Genevieve na the same class
I open my eye, like Xavi when he dey kane pass
Out of 5 billion girls, you be first, you nor fit take last
As I perm, dey drag my kpoli
Since I kpom your pic, I swear I never lonely
I tie am for my waist enter hustle, like say na juju
You get ginger spirit die, abeg I fit be your mugu?



I fit woo you?

I'm talking about the WhatsApp group, sir. You were never a member of the group. smiley

Oh! I miss cisse7575... I miss that man so much.

And, why would posting a pidgin poem be illegal?
Rule 21 covers that.

Besides, I listen to Immortal Technique, Dance with the devil, men it is intense!!! I love em already. What got my attention was where they said only a hard core man can stab a man continuously and stand and watch the life depart outta the man. I wrote about the same thing in my previous poem "A bloody murder".


"There I stabbed and thus he cried
Praying for the pain to ebb away
Here I watched and thus I stared,
Selfishly seeing the live ebb out of him".


Anyway Dr Dre sang something similar with Snoop, Little Ghetto Boy was the title.

Honestly bro, I really don't think your kid bro should be listening to songs like Dance With The Devil".

Jospeh1832, whitemosquito's flash fiction challenge had an opening for people who wanted to submit their entries in Pidgin English. Pidgin English is an independent language, and I believe it should be treated as such.

Of course I do!. Eminem is one of my favorite rappers. Besides Kim, you should listen Eminem's Amityville featuring Bizarre of D12, men that song cracked my ribs like crazy! Even Under the Influence with D12 is okay.

This is Bizarre's line:


"I bleeped my cousin in his asshole,
slit my mother's throat
(AH!) Guess who Slim Shady just signed to Interscope?
My little sister's birthday, she'll remember me
For a gift I had ten of my boys take her virginity
(Mmm mm mmm!) And bitches know me as a Hot ass freak
Their mother wasn't raped, I ate her pussy while she was 'sleep
Pissy-drunk, throwing up in the urinal (YOU FUCKING HOMO!)
That's what I said at my dad's funeral"


That dude Bizarre is sick! But it cracked me up still. My then ex hated me for liking the song, but then she never did have a sense of humor. LMFAO!!!.

I rarely do visit this poetry and literature section . Well, I would say that "JigsawKillah" brings this realness of a street dude personality into his rap . I haven't seen his "poetry drops" , can't say much about him be Bukwoski . If he has to take rap as a profession in Nigeria , he will tune down his lyrics because you can't sell violence ....NBC will be up on you like good morning. Rapping this days is not about your killer bars ....I think is more of your personality and how you connect to the street . Why do you think the likes of Olamide , Phyno and Fals still relevant . Olamide, is the voice of the street ...he infuses the street slang into his raps and that alone can get the area boys to burst their speakers. Phyno , brought personality ,also been a producer gives him an edge ...Fals, reminds me of 2shots in his early days with his comic raps pattern .

Lupe Fiasco : Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)
Haile Selassie

Nas , everybody around you knows him

Last Words
No Idea's Original
Can't Forget About You

You will like them both since you are a lover of poetry and storytelling .

Nas, is one of Hip-Hop best storyteller .

JigsawKillah, you don't have to strive to be like me ....BE YOU so people can make a definition of YOU. I learn from everybody , we all RAP ourselves.

LOL. if you want to listen to something cool, a rap song with technicolor type A rhyme scheme, then listen to DJ Honda featuring Jeru The Damaja, El Presidente is the title and the fact that he capitalized on Fidel Castro make me love the song so much.

No blood, no hate, no vile, no beef, just pure rap with a magnificent amount of Similes and Metaphors. That song is testament to the fact that Rap is Poetry. That's why I see all rappers as poets same way all poets are rappers.

Listen to the song bro, you'll enjoy it.

[b]FROM NEMBE TO WARRI WITH BROS TIMIPREYE

Bros Timipreye relax make we yan
You hear say Onome don follow man
Tear paper again? How many time?
She say him wan turn her orange to lime.

**God forbid! Oghene biam!! Okpo!!!**

Imagine the omotogbe wey I format for Bros
Naim dey tell me say make I get loss!
Onome wey I know when 2 pimples dey her chest,
Now the thing don grow, we boys no go rest.

Bros say her mouth taste like watermelon
Imagine! Bros don suck her gallon.
No wonder fishes for water don go strike;
I dey vex cuz na me chyke that chyke.

Na my match Bros dey play
I just dey wear boot dey wait and pray
Say one day I go feature for the film
Wey I start for Nembe stream.

I hear say Bros na badoo
From that Sapele asha wo
Say na so him dey on top her body every hour,
If she tire him go ask if sweet dey sour.

One night Bros arrange ogogoro
Join the palmy like say she no go know
Say god don wash hand inside the cup
Him implicate smoke fish put on top

Come control Onome enter him mama place
As night just dey shine him black face
Na him Bros pour kelebe inside her body
Na soffry soffry dey start jolly jolly
But na that jolly jolly dey kpai person soffry.

Shebi him don make her be like onion now
Na so so cry dem both dey waka for town
Shame don wooz Bros slap for face,
The girl mama and 8 bros don move come him place.

The popsy eye don over red come pop
Like person wey use hell fire eye drop,
Bros don ball in Warri go camouflage,
Popsy and police don declare Bros "man at large"

Biggy belly Onome dey my house with her load
Bros Timipreye, wetin concern agbero with overload?
I agree say na me give her food na
But I no force her to chop na.

She still fine like ogbanje I swear
Shey I fit still toast her make Bros no hear?
