Hahahaa Saurone, mallmalc in trouble? hahaaaa.dunno bout that oo.
@
Saurone
This is just online gistin' dude, no one is dyin.
But on the real u shud kno where im comin from if honestly
u talkin bout TRUTH and u listen to Boom, and then Badman
u'll see it's d same lyrics n pattern but no one said ishh bout M.i's pattern on Boom.
This nailed your argument that u talkin bout Rhyme pattern.
So it's the voice!.
I admited he sounded different, big deal? I think not.
Final analyses, if he sounded Mi-ish, shud hell freeze?
Shud it be a crusade?

slimshay:

na wa oh, he had to ride a southern beat for bleeps sake, he doesnt have a drawl like t.i., neither does have a boom voice like luda, so he made it hoarse like jeezy or david banner, why are people getting worked up over that?!

DBR:

Okido, back n topic.
M9 sounds like Mi on "Badman"
I say Nope, he sounds hoarse(some call this a new one)
Some say he was bitin M.i but later said they only pointin out the semblance in voice.
That view wasnt cuttin it so they switch to FLOW,that d  Rhyme pattern was M.I

kay29000:

Yeah. I have heard the song, and yeah, mode does sound like m.i. yOU CAN ONLY DENY THAT IF U dont have a good ear for voices, or u are a mode fan.

bouzymill:

Which exactly re you guys tlking about? The sound or the Structure? PLs. Lez get it straight here.

Re: Mode 9 Sounding Like M.I.
« #42 on: September 07, 2009, 08:34 PM »
There are only about 28 styles in existence based on 7 fundamentally different structures.
Only 20 of them are considered usable and enjoyable to a listener’s ear/readers eyes which are based on 5 different structures
Mode-9 in his wisdom has been using a particular style in all the songs i have heard from him and his rhyme pattern/structure in the song in scrutiny is a total deviation from his usual style and by coincidence happens to be the same rap pattern M.I.'s been using.

I am not talking of the voice here. . . . .I am talking about the structure of his verse in that song.

~Sauron~:

Rhyme pattern, flow and the voice too.
The more you listen to that song, the more you see the similarities.
Mode-9 should know better.

bouzymill:

@Sauron
Guy,  which one do ou want us to listen to. You specifically stated in that first quote that u aint tlaking bout the voice at all and here now,  you said it is everything plus the voice.

I now understand fully what is going on. Caliente started a thread, coincidentally Eldee and you have talked about the same thing on the same day and you guyz even took over the whole thing without caliente dropping any credence to his assertions. I guess the whole thing would just be running in a circus. The issue better be dropped.

Rhyme pattern, flow and the voice too.
Lez just say it was M.I that did the Track in the name of Modenine. I pray God Helps the Mode9 guy. You guys don't like his guts at all. but it's all good after all. And the ironic part of it is Modenine is leaning to the side of you guys than his real fans, cos he keeps dumbing down every other day.

One.

mailmalc:

Dunno abt ya bt for me BADMAN is so MI-ish.  

~Sauron~:

I wasn't talking about the voice in ma first reply
The focus was on Mode-9's style and the structure of his rhymes.
After listening hard and comparing to M-I, i realised there was a huge similarity in the voices too.

I am not here to put Mode-9 down. . . . .I just made an observation.
Do u see anything wrong with that? At the end of the day, it's just ma opinion, innit?

I don't have any reason not to like Mode-9's guts.
Several mainstream rappers have been accused of sounding like some other rappers.
There's nothing new in that. . . . . .Biggie sounded like Usher on "Playa Hater". . . . Nothing new in that as well.

eldee:

That aside, you know we'll have to stay up this nite??
From what I heard, BP3 is coming out 2am our time.
Get your cappuccino ready . . . we're about to see what'll prolly be Hov's last album.

Alexpissu:

Where is Kaydee and Javalove ? See how this people want to nail Mode 9

eldee:

I'm allergic to bullshit and i'm seeing too much of it here . . .
Modestans make this so easy, 'in favour of Modenine, it's the truth'
This makes it so freaking hilarious . . . I don't have time for all this, I've made my point and all they can come up with is a bunch of lame excuses.

A poster noticed this senseless lifting, came on Nairaland and posted what he thought could attract reasonable 'rapheads'
First 9-10 posts were filled with crap like 'You're a fool', 'You're stupid' . . .

Then I asked for the track, listened to it, because I suspected that I might be biased, I gave it to other people to listen, same reply.

All of a sudden, the trend of the replies changed . . . 'Modenine cannot sound like M.I because he never uses the auto-tune' - Thank God he edited it on time . . . 'Modenine sounded hoarse' (Sum idiot that doesn't know hoarse has been used to describe everything from DMX to Johnny Cash) . . . M.I doesn't have a voice (Then how do we always identify him on songs with all three of the Choc City boys??) . . . they get more hilarious as the number of replies increase.

Y'all need to wake up and smell the bleeping latte . . .
No one came out to say Terry Tha Rapman, OD, Eldee, Saucekid, Ruggedman sound like M.I.
Why?? Because they don't!!!

We all know this is Modenine's idea of how to go commercial . . .
One simple faux pas here is obvious, his fans wanted him to do an M.I not to sound like him
I don't care if it was not intentional . . . it's his choice.

bouzymill:

Eldee, there's not need to get upset over debates. that's what they are, debates. When i made my point, u brought out what i didn't say out of my post that i said: 'modenine can't sound like M.I unless he's on autotune'

What i said is M.I sounds like lil wayne (accepted to him), and if Modenine sounds like M.I, that means Modenine sounds like Lil  Wayne, which is not possible for modenine unless he is on autotune, i didn't mention M.I. When u typed your response and i saw it, i decided not to go for it cos i didn't say it.

bouzymill:

BUt what the heck are we talking bout, if he decides to put his shit down that way, Fine. I won't argue anymore, i just replied this because it related to me and that anyone opposed to your views is a modestan is wrong. It's like people calling you ''mode9 hater'', you don't like it too but u've stayed cosistently at it for good two years. never said anything good about him

bouzymill:

How do we know it is Modenine's way of going commercial? atleast, he is doing it for you people, maybe you'ld vhange you mind about him. He has also been affected by the mass appeal syndrome. Now u people can dance to his club bangers atleast that is what you want: ''soft landing''

So, accept him and let him breathe pls.

I aint dissing, just droppin my points

eldee:

I can't get upset over this . . .
This is the easiest way to get you point across to Nigerians, NL taught me.
At the end of the day, most of the people are argue with are on my YiM/Facebook
You say it like jerking off on Modenine's pic is my civic duty.
Have I ever said anything good about Terry Tha Rapman, Eldee, Naeto C or OD??

We can stay here and act like we don't know who the Modestans are.
I coined the word but everyone that's ever visited the NL Music section knows the usual suspects.
We know the people that throw common sense into the Thames once Modenine is involved.
See how the first page of this thread went and tell me if you can't spot a Modestan.
Maybe you missed the 'It's his choice' part of my post.
He makes his decisions, fine . . . but I will not let anyone go all ballistic on Caliente for saying what any five year old would easily notice.
