Earlier today, rapper Yung6ix expressed his frustration with Nigerian rap music with a tweet that reads, ‘When I wanna listen to African rap I play Yung6ix and SA rappers wtf is going on with the Nigerian Rappers ? Wake up’.

Apparently he’s not alone in his line of thoughts. LIB reached out to other Nigerian rappers to comment on the issue and our first response came from a veteran in the industry, Terry Tha Rapman who says,

‘I kinda get where he’s coming from. I’ve been stressing this for long,when I said ‘rap is dead ’ in Nigeria I didn’t mean nobody is rapping. I meant we (being the fans,media and promoters) stopped supporting rap music as it should be at a point’.

He continued to say, ‘Now would you blame rappers for fine tuning their style? Rappers hardly get the airplay/support as our pop counterparts so after years we started adapting. I still believe there’s hope. We are far from the days of Trybesmen, 2shotz, Ruggedman, Modenine and when MI dropped Talk About It and MI2. We need more rap concerts to promote hip-hop culture. The few ones I’ve been to were not encouraging’.

Uumm...

Danjuma04:
what terry said is very true... some Nigerian rappers have lost their feel. I cannot even listen to M.I whom I used to love so much.

Those rappers still have content. Just that, the media and fans have lost interest in them.

Why don't u drop a rap single den.

Mr Terry d rapman.


#YOLO

Death Ke??

Not their fault, Nigerians don't listen to good music anymore. You now have to sing rubbish, form your own slang or dance before you can be heard.

Just because their careers are dead doesnt mean rap is dead

I know right ?

The dude is right.

Even the so called rappers we have are switching lanes to singing to sell and stay relevant.

M.I is missing,vector's fire has gone out(na smoke we dey see),Jesse jagz has gone raggae,phenom is 'dead' ,Ycee is just dere who again?

Real hip hop and rap emanates from SA now!

Danjuma04:
If Rapper can convey powerful lyrics in their songs, things will change. for now, I can only listen to yung6ix and Ycee's rap ( not DAT dey convey any message but cos of their sound)

The only Rapper I know now is CLASSIQ(Arewa Mafia) and Young six.
