before u modenine hters start hissing,reason,who is one consistent rapper this country has got,ever dishing out songs.who was the 1st to release a mixtape.i agree ruggedman came to change the game,so ironic,the game changed him.v read posts on this nairaland,saying that mode should upgrade his rap style,if i may ask to whch level?m.i's level.u guys are saying that dudes album is a classic.the album didnt trip me.yeah i love safe,shrt black boy,jehova,area and the best is crowd mentality.do u lil ones get this mode is on pentium ix,he is in a class of his own.u just want him to downgrade,cos u dont understand his kind of hiphop.u lil ones talking abt who the best is?do u know abt kool herc,do u know rakim,do u know craig mac,did u listen to boom bap?u small boys whose rap history started when hip hop was beginning to change,the likes of 50 cent,ja rule.thats wot u heard and u think u like rap enuff to know the best mc.i stumbled on this website www.rapreviews.com,i saw 5 nigerian rap albums,m.i=talk abt it,modes pentium ix,e pluribus unum,paradigm shift,terry that rapmans the rapman beginz and ruggedmans ruggedybaba.i read all reviews.pentium ix was compared to nas illmatic album,even though it came from nigeria.the reviewer said mode hardly sounds off beat,thats if he hardly does,flow airthight,very audible,and he almost swore it was released alongside illmatic.he was compared to r.a the ruggedman,he had lyrics vibe 9 out of 10,this album was rated above most american rappers,i was a proud nigerian when i saw that.m.is album was there it was just an ordinary rap album,so i was like wot are nigerians saying,comparing a kid to a veteran.comparing m.i wit mode,is like comparing,lupe fiasco to nas and nas to rakim or krs one.mode was compared to american underground cats.if u are rap head,u will know thats where the skills are.he also called him a well versed cat that the metaphors he uses in a verse,a major artiste would use in a single track.does that not say he is extraordinary.i hear them say m.i is lyrical,i solo like isolo,i eight limbs like octopus,my lyrics like marijuan,got game like louisana,bafana bafana,tie ur head like bandana.thats nursey rhyme.i agree the boy is good,but i hate the hype,he sometime sound like lil wayne,where is the originality,uses auto tone where is the realnes.we all know mode sound like moderespect this dude.he is a veteran and his lyrics will 4ever live on and new emcees would use them.and m.i i think is the leader of the new skull.i absoluetely agree.but the best,i i disagree.

God bless you poster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi poster, great one i must confess. but the truth here is modeshizu dont belong here, he should rather go back to yankee where he was born. M.I is receiving all accolades in nigeria today becos he has naija in his punches, while your modenine dont. guys lets forget about who the illest in naija is. ruggedy and the likes of M.I would continue to take the shine.

@ poster

Nice one there . . . . . . . .
Hip Hop heads knows mode rules!

i think u need to explain this to rug head man!!!

@ POSTER

My gut feelin tells me u are mode 9 or closely related, otherwise who would write such a huge paragraph about a lame rapper. U must be a stan (ooops mad bad) - a fan.

MODE 9 is stuck in the past. Thats why his album is entitled PENTIUM IX. NO ONE USES PENTIUM ANYTHING ANYMORE - UPGRADE TO A CENTRINO or A CORE DUO.

Mode 9 trys too hard to be lyrical and he loses his listeners in the process. I dey come make i go chop. i will continue.

Lupe what?

No wonder! You are one of those people that like rappers that are too deep for themselves. Rappers that use meaningless metaphors and senseless similies. Abeg commot for here. Only Lupe knows what he be saying (way over our heads). I sure say u no even understand half of the guy lyrics. To people like you, when rappers like Mode 9 n Lupe say stuff u don't understand u shout OOOOHH thats tight, he killed it. Bologne.

Now, listens to cats like

B.I.G
Nas
J-zay
Rakim
Big L
Jada kiss
Juelz (some times)

n learn what hip hop is all about


Lupe needs to go get a job with his college degree (if he has one). Grammer too much.

OMG another poor excuse for a mode9 vs/rugged ma tussle. I bet there are over a million other mode9/ ruggedman threads u could have easily continued this on. Begining to get bored of this rugged/mode9 thing. BOTH ARE GUD AT WAT THEY DO.

rapreviews wont judge 4 nigerians.

Abi oo.No be human being like us do the review?How are we sure sentiments wont come into play?

recent survey has shown that more than 70% of those visiting the rap threds are sensless and know nuffin about rap music.

Does anyone of you know rap better than the guy on rap reviews?

He didnt categorize his analysis as to Nigerian or American rap. The same indicators he used in measuring that of other artistes is the same he used for modenine and yet the guy said modenine is a genius!!!

I'm sure some of you have not even visited thesite to read the reviews, u just come here ans spew nonsense.

Please, if u dont like modenine, no need trying to be unnecessarily controversial . . !!!

@Topic
The guy isn't bad, something cool and different about him, with most artists there will be a song by them you will love as much as a song you will dislike, this definately applies to him. He's growing.
