M.I aint bad bruv.

If i say mode9 is better,it doesnt add anything to mode physically n vice versa,they aint in any competition,both r doing music dat inspired them n r gud at it.As mode said 'a gud rap doesnt have to contain complex lyrics'

With da vinci mode,mode tuk lyricism to pop listeners,it wld inspire upcoming rappers n new listeners,cos u could dance and listen to punchlines,metaphors,wordplay n learn at the same time,A very Funky album

Here is the link 2 da song http://www.esnips.com/doc/cbf92782-9dff-41c9-b045-ce36fd18c3fc/Nobody---M.I-Ft-2Face-Idibia ENJOY

And what did Talk About It and[i] Illegal Music[/i] do??

@eldee
The difference btw talk abt it n Da Vinci Mode is the latter didnt ve a track like Teaser,It amalgamates d underground sound and dat of d mainstream. They was soul,pop,reggae,funk influenced tracks wit the wordplay n metas stil present,n moral teachings n kicking knowledge.Talk abt it was pop all true.Even illegal muzik

Jst remembered at d end of fast money fast cars.he left a moral quote

What about Money's chorus or Hustle's hook or the whole of Crowd Mentality and Talk About It (song)? Dude, you need to go and listen to Talk About It again

@genu
Crowd mentality n talk abt it na concious themes na.i didnt add conciousness.

Money can pass for story telling n da vinci had lots of dat

Is it d moral subject or d mixture of underground and mainstream sound u r arguing?

I don't even get what you're driving at. But how can you say TAI was pop all through. Or what do you mean by pop?

I've told you guys before . . . once it's mainstream, it's no more underground.
The rules of the sects in rock, hiphop and soul are quite strict.

You really wanna talk about how eclectic an album is??
That said Reggae - Teaser, Pop - Safe, Soul/Gospel - Jehovah, Funk/80s Hiphop -  Crowd Mentality, Fuji - Anoti, Dancehall - Blaze

Modenine doesn't touch M.I in diversity of musical influences. Just becase he didn't sample don't mean ish . . . his creativity trumps anyone else in Nigeria bar none.
I listened to a song DBR gave me . . . it was [b]rock [/b]song about a pro. . . who does that??

Moral teachings?? It's Sunday, some churches are still open, go to church to hear that . . . besides did you miss Talk About It, Crowd Mentality and Fast Money Fast Cars??

Or do you wanna say he didn't take the wordplay, multies, metaphors to everyone and let me email you a Tyson upper cut??

STFU about this Moral B.S . . . it's not in a rapper's job description to tell you to be conscious.
Common is conscious, does that put him in anyone's top ten list??

the kinda hiphop dats wot i mean.almost all beats in dat album.i can call mode's whut u want pop bt i cant say black rap messiah is.TAI was pop influenced.
@eldee
Teaser was dancehall abeg

And sampling is one reason i didnt feel dat album.Yes

U cant call black rap messiah,muzik lives,top eleven and okokomaiko mainstream cuts

Rock?mode already did that on EPU.not like you was d track

Supersonic,so bionic,u can get on it,please,if i start teachn a js1 student multies,he wld do better dan dat

Blaze dancehall? Then so as rhyme tyte

Soul to keep na wetin mr eldee? Na soul+gospel too

If you don't wanna argue don't talk B.S like . . . Da Vinci Mode took wordplay to the people but M.I didn't.
Your argument is flying everywhere . . . first you said Talk About It was 'all pop' now you say, oh yeah, Modenine did the same thing.
Get your thoughts right before coming online abeg.

Dude you don't need to sample to be eclectic . . . that's why I don't like arguing with most Modenine fans, y'all see the way he does things and think 'Modenine does it like this, so it's the Holy Grail'

Anoti had the craziest wordplay + multies mix on any Nigerian album . . . he did a whole verse with everything startin with M.I. And you try to diss that?? Pass the weed to Tavarez.

M.I did the whole eclectic thing first . . . as I said, the day Mode's delivery and musical creativity touches M.I, I'll sell my music library and donate the money to the Taliban.

Common is in your top ten??
Well, I'm not surprised, afterall Lupe Fiasco is your favourite rapper

Yes lupe is my fav,he took me away frm Nas,i stil lyk Nas

I love d use of M.I wordplay bt it wasnt up to 8bars.bros,
Hope u knw modey did a song wit everything dat flies,
Make we rest abeg
And musically m.i beats mode,i nor dey argue dat one

Ehn ehn. eldee, no touch Lupe abeg. That's one of ma fave rappers too. Make una dey compare Modey and MI dey go

Come on guys . . . I like Lupe too, but he's not a Top Ten guy.
He's got the[i] scientisick[/i] (nice word from Mailmalc . . .lol) part figured out, but there's much more to hiphop than that.

He's a great artiste though . . . you gotta give that to him.

eldee, nobody is advocating for Lupe to be in the top ten. It's more of a personal thing, ok?

Make una dey vex there,me i don post my own.
Why i wrote dat was.i was fcukin getting tired of getting into our house studio to hear some funny dudes rappin n they get to a point,they start sayin,.unbeatable,adorable,stable,any able becos of d m.i effect.i got happy when a skul mate dat has M9 new ish,dat guy detest 9ja rap n sick of those m.i multies,said he got inspired and wantd to write

I gave up rap for a longtime,when d sk8 board boy came on board,he brought me back.v heard lupe spit sick multies dat nobody blows out of proportion.

Like i said,if u say so so rapper is d best.he no add anythin to d said rapper or vice versa

And eldee
Have heard lupe ova a dj premier beat,he tried n nw am waiting for ur guy

Someone tell me I'm not the only one who's not a BIG fan of Premo?

I liked Moment Of Truth alot. I like NY state of Mind 1/2 alot.I like 2nd childhood alot. I also like Cormega's Dirty Game alot. There are just alot of his beats I don't like. I couldn't sit through 'The Ownerz'.





Oh, and smh at Common being underrated by people who are tired of 'gangsta' rap and like blueprint 3.

This is a classic collabo.both mi nd 2face brought out their best on this hot joint and really felt mi 4 vibing wit naija slangs.it made him mo real.pls quit givin dat rapper promo on mi's thread#am out
