Ruggedy don already win d price.

Opoluero!ruggedy!d more,u hate him,i respect him.

Its 2010

and Rug Head Man and Modenine are releasin an album almost at the same time. . hmmm

@javalove

truth dey bitter o. but wat will happen after the release of both albums will be this -

ruggedman will sell loads of his albums that every hawker on the expressway sef go get am for sale

his hit tracks will be popular on street even ur day-old niece will ryhme the chorus

at least 4 of the tracks will be regular plays at every music countdown shows

modenine's album will be more popular on NL than music stores

best way of getting a modenine album will be to just copy from anoda friend that must hv downloaded a freebie smwhere too (even alaba pirates wnt touch it cos - na bad mkt)

ruggedman's diss track (hwever wack u label it) will enjoy more airplay than the airplay the whole album of modenine will enjoy

ruggedman's album launch like previosu once would be ''HOT"" with loads of artistes showing love and support (i just placed an order for a 20th sept wear to put on for his album launch - rugged has true FANS). modenine's album launch will be the one small arena and missing guests with wannabe low-life freestylers. . . . .not even you i'm sure hv bn to any of his album launch (he has more fans on internet that on the streets)?

so. . . leave the basis of comparison to people to decide for themselves than awarding ur biased award!. . . . lyricist ko lyricist ni. . wat works for yu need not work for everyone.


by the way, ruggedman's album drops next mnth confirmed from source. modenine's still with lots of . . . . i dnt hate on M9 but una too dey over-hype am and hate of ruggedy for nuthin sake. i can understand sha!

@coolguys
Dey deceive urself there,i dey benin,how do i get mode albums, v seen different prints of pentium ix,e pluribus unum,paradigm shift,a prove dat it has been reprintd severally,as a matter of fact,v bought pentium n e pluribus 3ce,how was dat possible?,how do u manage to count d copies dat sold self?, e pluribus sold a 100 thousand first 4 months, una go dey talk yet no proof to back it up,
Since there's no official record for album sales, i suggest u guys shld keep shut, and am tellin u this, mode's badman,loke get airplay, n watch out for is this wot u want,we dey vex n d joint wit frank d nero,they'll v mad airplay, da vinci mode wld surprise u guys, atleast mode did an album for d rap fans in PS n now d other way round

@javagoat,dat pic,u posted was designd in late 2008 (during dblow era) by d twins calld c-gunz,they r very much gifted beatsmiths,all ma beatz r made by them.they r my boys,they dnt even buy mode9's albums,they rather buy immortal tekniks,jedi mindtriks,killa priest,gza etc ma boyz r 4kin deep in hiphop nd dey dnt even h8 ruggedman as d pic depicts at all.pls hw long will u b foolin y'self in d phase of hatred 4 rugged?RUGGEDMAN IS SKILLFULLY HUNDRED TIMES A BETTER RAPPER THAN D BORING DRY MODE9.GET IT IN YA THICK SKULL.

@aldon.
WTF did you just quote? Na mane, ruggedman is NOT skillful than mode 9. I thought you said you and your boys are deep in hip-hop. Oh S.H.Y.T , you forgot? You are suppose to know what you mean. Re-think friend. Its just like comparing KRS-1 to ruggedman.

Leave aldon alone,he's clueless,i suggest he shld start watchin BLUE'S CLUES,that shld hlp his brain develop,he reasons lyk a kid

@mafia4life,hw dare u compare mode9 to KRS1,datz an insult o.u hav shown me dat u r really a mode9 fanatic.look kid, mode9 is a gud lyricist no doubt but it takes skills 2 deliver it nd appeal 2 pple turning turning hiphop mingles 2 true believers.lyricism is just a vital branch but wit enticing delivery is where rugged beats mode9 handsdown wit onpoint lyrics.
I REPEAT, TAKING SIDES WIT MODE9 DOESNT MAKE ANYBODY A HIPHOP HEAD OR A DEEP HIPHOPER.THERE R LOADS OF HIPHOP HEADS DAT I'VE MET DAT PREFERS RUGGEDMAN 2 MODE9.RUGGED PROPHET RULES,STOP HATING.
@rhymestein,no comments.

If u read the last post of Aldon with all ur senses tuned in d right proportion and with no biased mind, u'll kno what he said is so true, thou am not sayn that Rugged rules O.
But note that lyricsm is not the only thing that makes a rapper. Still u nd deliveries with rhymes and always being on point.
For example, the so called Mallam Incredible(MI) is prefered to both by most, cus he didn't go deeper into both sides

you know why these cats prefer ruggedman? The major reason is because he does party shyt.

@mafia4life,if iam luvin ruggedman because of party tracks then i wuld hav bcome a d'banj's no.1 fan.im luvin rugged's original inborn rap skills on d Mic,period.

How rugged tey pass modo for delivery, delivery + lyricism,mode pass am, rugged dat raps as if he is readin a whack speech,example ruggedy baba,koleyewon, sometimes i wonder if rugged has clues of wot rap shld look lyk, some collab u guys rolled out was so annoyin,imagine rugged ft kleva jay,kleva jay cant sing, he cant pronounce simple chattin n flexin, these naija rappers self,dem wan do album,dem go leave rap beatmakers go meet dancehall beatmakers n u want me to call dat rap, there's nothin wrong wit mode's delivery
Ppl lov mi cos of his vocals n easy rhyme scheme n he got catchy hooks too
Tell me talib kweli,mos def,most especially craig macs delivery is poor,jst becos dem no wan do club songs, i dare some nigerian rappers to spit ova boom bap,if u r gonna love it, with dat we dey vex delivery,elbow room,talkin to u,cry,my skin is black,a hero comes home delivery,u guys come ere to make someone look bad.mode is good lyric wise,flow n delivery.bt he's beat might nt be catchy enough cos it keeps d boom bap era alive(95-96),i jst got Rakim's new album, d beat wasnt so different frm mode,
Aldon n most of yall come ere to run ur mouth, he says instead of listenin to mode,go listen to immortal teknik,n canibus,n other undaground us cats,wot makes u think,i wont listen to gucci mane,soulja boi,50cent instead of rugged, rugged doesnt my styl of rap period, dnt force it
Hiphop is hiphop,rap na rap,no prefix, spit in dis language or dat one, is rap,nigerian music?, ur posts annoy me most time

@rhymstein,y wont i annoy u when im nt supporting mode9.i've got 2 thank mode 4 kipin 95/96 hiphop alive in 2010 but d game nids CHANGE nd ruggedman is d 4kin CASH here.
To b urnest wit u,im nt satisfied wit mode9 delivery but dude got lyrics nd datz where it stops.his delivery on 'cry' was so horrible dat i thot it was a freestyle but wit time d song grew on pples mind.his best song eva,thnx 2 Nnena.
On paradigm shift album,he upd his delivery but his punchline was jst flashing compared 2 mal9 nd pen9 mixtape.one'bigboy rap' nd d others u mentiond above,mode 9 stole jayz's delivery style datz y it sounds gud but i dnt regard dat.RUGGEDMAN RAPS BETTER THAN MODENINE.GBAM

there is something about this guy ruggedman!!!
he def knows how to reach out to the street i swear!!!
this song is def hot, he murked the beat on the second verse


am tryn to be the right spouse
cos av got Mocheddah like knithouse

no fantasy, money making dynasty
am just the right kind of soup, no need to fatasi

@tosineda,word!!

@tosineda,word!!

@aldon
Wot do u think is delivery?, u can say u dnt like his voice, his flow doesnt sound strained when he raps,never ever sounding off beat, he has an aggresive tone, thats how hardcore styl is pls, PS had lots of sampled tracks dat r soul influenced, jay z didnt invent dat, big boy rap was jay z'ish agreed bt they never sound alike, lupe uses similar beats(hustlers song),cry was nt a hardcore shit,he wanted to teach, he didnt v to be complex abt it, ruggedmans styl n music dnt wow me, i cant listen to them more than 5times,i stil play dat sauce mixtape, bt all those na me be fine boi,monkey banana, cant listen thrice, i can listen to m.i,at times terry,od,modo allways, its nt by force to rap wit light vocals, mode ripped dat journey so far beat, his delivery suits his styl, period, must he force american accent because he wants to rap?

All these Ruggedy fanatics, make una tell una Oga to reply DEATH BLOW OOOOOOOOO. Me i dey talk my own oooooo eehen

@RYMSTEIN
blame not those who compalin abt M9's delivery. . . . be honest wt urself, hw was his delivery on ''badman''?. . . the voice wasnt original at all. . . was like a forced dleivery and took the mode out of his 9. simple as that. . . i forgv him cos he wants to be commercial at all cost sha (quoting him on beat fm on 9th sept 2009)
i dnt hate on mode9. . . likewise i dnt hv to luv him cos u guys idolise him. his delivery dnt work for me shikena!
if u say u bought all his albums in benin, i guess one alaba boy is taking advantage of u guys there. . .album he cant push well in lag his main base? ask all ur peeps in lag to help u cop his album for go-slow abi make dem go studio shops for any of the upscale areas in lag. . . his album is always missing on the shelf. . period. its a well knwn FACT. . likewise i forgv him again cos unlike rugged who was sincere that he's in music for the fame and money (ruggedy baba track) so i dnt compare them wen it has to do wt returns. by the way. . . use a sincere mind to kip following both this year to end of february for both albums to drop, have their album launch party and see the steeets following. . . m9 wld disappoint on all areas. . . bt that nt to say he aint good or wack, its just that like a lot of pple out there, M9 dnt just work for them.simple! no hating

@bjmighty

there's a response to deathblow and to other cats who formed beef with ruggedman as well - illbliss and co.

@aldon

The badman i downloaded was nt soundin lyk mode,d one i saw in an alaba mix n soundcity was sounding lyk mode, badman is on soundcity,sydney shocker acts lyk a modey fan he is and plays d video whenever he hosts a show n music mix does too, ur 1st single doesnt v to be a wow video,is jst 4 promo,i knw lots of american videos dat mtv think is low quality bt BET plays,
Sometimes wot u guys post dey vex me, as if mode has personal issues wit u guys, aldon spend tym postin things to discredit rugged, n wot u wrote, too, Good work shld be appreciated, i dnt feel cos these guy dissed my fav rapper,i shldnt appreciate d other guy, mode is gud on wordplay,clever meta's, rugged is gud with party rap(i dnt party,so all these dnt affect me),

@rhymstein

@tosin
Not that a fan, bt i admire him alot when it comes to naija rap,him n 2face, n i dnt lyk how u guys discredit d guy for biased reasons,he's broke,doesnt sell,how does dat affect me?, d guys i listen to abroad, hardly go plat, lupe my no1 for now, i startd listening to mode well like last yr, ,wasnt really feelin him b4,till my big sis urged me to listen to how he wordplay, i support him in NL cos i feel,he's d only naija rapper i over feel.i dnt evn say his name outside NL, but lupe everywhere?,

there's a response to deathblow and to other cats who formed beef with ruggedman as well - illbliss and co.

@rhymestein,ya big sis feeling a song lyk 'cry' can b excuseable but if u sincerely sayin she is feeling dry songs lyk'toron giwa','spectacular' nd hands down then i dnt knw.if u aint lying then sorry 2 say,she must be a sadist/loner nd im no longer interested in her.

Lets leave aldon and his lil boys alone. What cha know about rap delivery? Ruggedman is cool and accepted. Mode 9 is the realest dude out there period. ( I am not including those underground artist who grind hard e.g skales, ice berg slim, ghetto p, rukus and many more ).
Take that to you nerves and stop being a p*ssy playboy!

@mafia4life~ wit time,all of una go confess,1 by 1.U've seen nothin yet 4rm d rugged1,this is just d beginning.

Wetin mumu coward wan show us wey we never see. Ordinary Death blow bonus track make am take a whole one year break from hiphop music, ordinary "talking to you" make am release one single with no follow up for a whole year. Hin wan reply death blow abi? He is finally set to nail his dead career coffin and i hope its not thesame "You a broke ass" or music achievement hin wan use defend hin wack lyrical style.

"this baba that baba, you not a baba. You gat intellect myopia so when i diss a baba, its not ethiopia" This is one of the baddest methaphorical word play ever used in Naija hiphop. Now all you Ruggedy fanatics, does your egbons has any lyrics that can match up to this? If yes pls paste am for here. Now take away this; 3 in 1 of your uncle Ruggedy cannot stand where Shege stands lyrically, "delivery-cally" and musically. I know you won't accept because of your rug head but lets wait till "thy album come"
