Shut up Ndukwe . . .

Can you freestyle?? Pu[i]ss[/i]y-nigga always criticizing e'rrone but ain't no better himself . . . if you and MI work in the same office and Rap is used to draw an organogram, you'll be down there dusting MI's shoes you bi[i]t[/i]ch-a[i]ss[/i] nigga.

@Thread

Like some folks have already noted, freestyle might add to your CV but lack of it takes nutin away from your CV either . . . the best freestylers ain't the best rappers.

I somewhat agree that em Choc Boiz should've been more tactful though.

04kaa:

no !, the t-rex you are talking about is different he graduated with teeto and co, he used to freestyle with emteezy, dayja, darkpoet and co in unilag then, semilyfe u get good memory o.

I swear i was thinkin the same thing if it was the same T-rex from unilag. I dey enter Bamboo box 24/7 go hear these boyz dey spit sick flows. Teeto, T-rex, Efe and sum other goons. Good ol times!! ( 04kaa, i sure say i go sabi you sef!)

Bamsyle.:


the best freestylers ain't the best rappers. CONFIRMED

I somewhat agree that em Choc Boiz should've been more tactful though.

No doubt, no doubt, saw sum freestyling video way back. Jay-Z n DMX, I'd always Jay over DMX, but Jay got murdered!
But u have to accept that it is very disappointing from MI, i mean, what the hell!!!

O4ka how far our deal? Enter twitter jor!

O4ka how far our deal? Enter twitter jor!

mi and ice prince were scared when they saw phenom and T-rex

I don't get it. . . would it have been better if they used pre-writtens??
Because I remember thinking Phero could freestyle till I heard his 'blue jeans and face cap' line on three different freestyles.
Same with Modenine and Rugged, you think it's a freestyle and then you see it on a track later.

Abeg jare. . . M.I can't freestyle, big deal, my assignment is still up, let anyone kill the beat of 123 Hiphop(Original) like he did.
End of.

I don't get the fact that his ability to freestyle is what you're using to judge his mic skills, like seriously??
I remember seeing Jay-Z declining an opportunity to freestyle on Angie Martinez last year . . .I don't see people calling him out on that, only difference is that you can't pressure Jay-Z like you would M.I.
And that's Jay-Z that claims that he 'rewrote history without a pen'. . . if we all agree this doesn't make him any less of and emcee, then I don't get why this is relevant

what rubbish are u talking about? we are here bashing him because he went for a show, knowing fully well wuh the show was about!

If you're crying because your favourite show was interrupted, then it's your business . . . but to say they're not good rappers because of that is just daft.
As everyone on this thread has said, it don't take shit from you if you can't freestyle.

And anyone that's follpowed M.I's career knows he freestyles well, but that's a matter I won't go into.

Aiiite, here's one thing I'll like to explain to you Mr Tosinadeda.
You do not 'prepare' for freestyles . . . if you do that it becomes pre-written.

ur Bull$$h*t. . . can we call it a day?

when i heard Olisa advertising the show i was hoping M.I will fone in to say he was unavoidably absent.
I can't believe he went there to disgrace himself.
na by force?

Olisa says the next edition will be more of female MCs.
He says Kel and Eva will pitch.
Kel can't freestyle to save her life, i hope it will not be another MI moment.
Eva would be fire!!

Hehehe when did freestyles become unimportant. Thot that was how IT all started.

Having ready bars should be what rappers are made of. Spitting TOTALLY off the dome is another level entirely. But what self-respecting rapper doesn't have a few bars simmering at the back of his head and the skill to elongate it by another bar or 2.

Abeg eff up na eff up, especially when you've bragged that you represent 'whether written or freestyling'.

tosinaded@:

Yep . . . made my point already, your side commentary is not my business.
Hence the term . . . 'end of'.

You couldn't have put it any better.
What is a rapper that can't freestyle? Anybody with quarter of a brain can write a decent enough rap verse.
The ability to freestyle is supposed to distinguish a rapper from the average dude out there that can write.

If you're a rapper and you're on a radio show, there's no excuse to spit material which is already on your album. Shame on Ice Prince for spitting Oleku on the radio. I always thought Ice Prince is wack anyway.

If MI can't freestyle or has no fresh material, he should refrain from going on the radio. Abi did he think he was going for morning show interview where they would ask him what's his favourite colour and which Nollywood actress he likes?

Nah nigga, if you go on a HipHop show, you must have fresh material for the people.

If you sell yourself as a "lyrical" rapper, you should also be able to freestyle. Infact, you should be good at freestyling as a rapper period, because you will be called upon to spit impromptu at any time. At worst, you do what Drake did and spit FRESH MATERIAL off your blackberry!

It was only in the late 90's where rappers started making excuses on radio shows about freestyling.

Shame on MI! NL's greatest freestyler Ofoka Mendilurugun woulda put a better show!!!!

i agree with those who say that spitting totally of the dome is another level entirely but that does not take anything away from the ones that cannot  do it and yea anyone with half a brain can write decent lines but then we can always sift the decent from the DOPE.

Nice try, Tupac was'nt a freestyler but is arguable d greatest rapper ever.

eldee:

proof please.
why did he not just call Olisa and say he could not make it?
why disgrace himself?
if i earned a living from hip hop, under durress i would do far better than he did that nite.
i have always had slight doubts about Ice prince sha.

They Di dint Invite MODE9?WHAT THE HELL

Gbam!!!

A lot of folks are easily deceived with this 'freestyle' thingy . . . not saying there ain't no true freestylers though but if you've ever attempted to rap before, you'll understand that 90% of the so-called 'freestyles' are actually pre-written verses spat to fit the beat and deceive folks into believing that they were spat on-the-spot.

If you're rapper, you'll know that once you get the flow of your verses right, you can spit it to any beat (even Fuji, Juju, Salsa, Merengue or Akpala) . . . like 04kaa noted, all you need to do when 'freestyling' those verses is to chip in a few words on-the-spot (like the DJ's name and some other things around you) and connect them to your pre-written lines . . . and it's a wrap.

Shey because una sabi MI's and Ice Prince's lines b4?? Na im make all of una dey talk say them nor fit freestyle?? I can bet ma bottom dollar that if they were unknown rappers, they'll have spat lines off their unknown mixtapes/albums that night and all of una go dey scream "dope rappers" . . .

I am cock-sure that Lynxx and his 'dope freestyler colleagues' spat pre-written lines . . . wait for their albums.

AT LEAST IBIME, U COULDA SPELT MERINDINLOGUN PROPERLY JUST PICTURE MI OR ICE PRINCE IN A BATTLE WIT ANY OF THOSE YOUNG CATS LIKE PHENOM OR EVEN HILARY JUMBO, EVEN BAMYSLE WIT HIS 2PAC FLOW WILL MURK EM.
I PITY THEM SHA, THEY ARE TOO GOOD TO DISGRACE HIPHOP LIKE THAT

Okay. . .I read every comment on this thread. . .

Whether it is spat off the dome or its pre-written, at least DO SOMETHING TO SAVE YOUR NAME NA!!!!! HABA. . .!!!!

Shame on MI. . .lemme not mention Ice Prince cos that one I consider wack before. . .

@eldee

please, we knoow you have been following MI's career since he was in his mother's womb. you sure know what we don't know. . .oya please post audios or videos that show MI as a good freestyler that you claim he is. Iro lo ma ba tie je. . .

And you stylishly refered to Modenine's freestyle on the factory (Ikuku live) eh. . ? The blackberry rap thing. . .At least when we heared it, it was fresh!!!!!!! it shows you have something to say everytime you are called upon. I can bet with my life if you call modenine, vector, terry, OD and others, they all have fresh bars to spit and as Bamsyle rightly said, you could knit in bits and pieces of things around you to make it sound more fresh. . .DJ's name, color of the rug, new slangs and all that. . .

The koko of the matter is. . .MI's lyrical ability can not weigh 10kg, . na me talk am

You know I don't take you serious, so let's just leave that.
But go back and read the article, even the guy that wrote this ish you're wanking on admitted that M.I freestyles.

thats true eldee, everyone knows MI freestyles but he stumbles a lot, i have personally seen him in about 5 hiphop shows before he blew up
., but when it comes to a hiphop show like that where almost all Nigerians are listening, and you are surrounded by young hungry rappers, you should live up to the expectation especially when you call ''URSELF AFRICAN RAPPER NUMBER ONE'', eldee admit it , you and MI are wrong this time around.

this is going to have a big impact on his street credibility,,, i just dont want him to go the way of the rappers that were influenced by money ,,,we need a breath of fresh air in naija hiphop, and for a minute, i thot MI brought that.! at least he coulda spat an unreleased verse, think am now.
i think the problem is that the money , fame and stardom is gettin into his head, he is now lazy, cuz he is no more hungry, he should be more matured than that by now.
