Hobbynarh: way too many kids in nairaland...why on earth wud u want to compare the LEGENDARY MODE NIZO wit dz commercial artist labelled rappers..mode delivers mind blowing,deep,hardcore lines.while dz oda guys feed u wit easy to understand rhymes dat makes u jump about nd u call dat rap..
Lest u forget d only commercial track mode 9 dropped(bad man) beat m.i's hardest track ever(somebody wnt to die) at d hiphop world awards to retain d LYRICIST ON THE ROLL..which he still hold till date.
Enof respect to m.i on illegal music,nice production,artiste selection,great e.p i must tell u....BUT MODE IS THE MAN ANY TIME..

. 1. The two songs u jux compare : bad man nd somebody wants to die - the former is in an ALBUM while d latter is in a MIXTAPE . Hence my point again mode was more refreshed since he hadn't done any work d previous year. Mi dropped an album nd a mixtape in d span of 1yr . .wat mode does is he waits till mi has exhausted all is arsenal to sum extent nd den drops smtin den u think he's d best abegiiii. 2. Mode's mix tape was dropped again after mi 2 nd im2 . .

Trojan00: Abeg who started all these mixtape album shit in nigeria- M.I not modenine.... Mode9 is jux tryin too hard to show dat his head is still there. Dnt get me wrong mode is dope but abegi joooor. Mi has done a lot recently IM1 , MI : the movie, IM2 in lesss than 2yrs. Mode is fresher hw many works has he done in recently since da vinci mode. . Even most of those songs in his new mixtape her not even up to 3mins haba. Abeg mode shud ve a sit nd watch MI on d throne #Nuffsaid

@least betta than M.I that featured 1 or more rappers in each song off IM2 except for Coming Home

please stop making deceitful comments. You are not making sense. MI1 was dropped in 2008 and 3 months later IM1 was released. MI2 was dropped in 2010 and two years later IM2 was released. Plus You cant claim that the reason why IM2 flopped in comparison to IM1 is because he was lyrically exhausted after doing MI2 (an album thats was largely commercial and lacked lyrical dexterity. My point is MI dropped the Best rap album of 2008(MI1) and 3 months later he dropped one of the dop3$t mixtape albums in Nigerian hiphop(IM1). In 2010 MI dropped his second album MI2. An album that left many wondering if it was this same MI who did MI1 and IM1,some even went as far as saying he has lost it. So it took MI up to 2 years to come up with IM2 considering the fact that MI2(his previous work) was commercial and lacked lyrical adventurism. Mode nine dropped his first album in 2004 and since then till now he has done 4 albums and 5 mixtapes. MI started in 2008 and he has dropped 2 albums and 2 mixtapes so far. So who's more exhausted ?

The lines of argument employed by many Mode 9's fans here amuses me.Well, I don't want to go into comparing M.I's lyrical skills with Mode's;but what everyone should know is that,in Naija rap(hardcore or whatever),if there is a 'throne' Mr Incredible owns it-maybe Mode 9 just sits on it for now.Still,I've great respect for Mode 9.

D'Soj:
Forget it... MI is King..Naija, we don't av time for hardcore..all dat 1 na grammar..its not our style. We wanna rock and sing along..dats why ice price, Reminince, Naeto C av fan base. Make Mode 9 carry him gangsta harcore go Brooklyn.. abeg.

crappy comment! Don't let hip hop heads like me catch u saying that again.

i hate it when all y'll non-hip hop cats poke ur mouth on topics like this. What is hip hop, who is hip hip? Who is a more consistent hip hopper? Y'all don't get me pissed ryt now. MI to me is some many miles behind mode9. Go ask any hip hop head. WTF! Even Jesse Jagz is more hip hop than MI! Pls listen to him flow. A'aaaaa! Wetin sef?

luk at d contradicting remarks u ar making.m i wasnt exhausted wen he released im1 3 months after releasing his first album bt suddenly became lyrically exhausted wen he released im2 years afta dropping mi 2...
If u must also know m i was beaten black nd blue byice prince, loose kaynon nd phenom in d songs were dey wre featured...
I dont lik aw u guys ar makin us downgrade m.i,he is a very talented rapper bt due respect must be accorded d one dat pave d way for odas..mode nizo

The game called hiphop is all about respect for the superior MCs . MI no doubt has got what it takes to keep the crowd heads bopping and his lyricism is very on point. But that beast called Modo, Mode9, Nigel Benn, Mode Nizzy, is on a whole different level! He is the true definition of an underground lyricist. Why has Modenine been the lyricist of the year winner of hiphop awards for a consecutive 6 years in a row? Why not MI, Ice Prince, Naeto C or Rugged Man? Cos Mode9 is a definition of real. Period!
A dream come true will be 2 have MI go toe to toe with Mode 9 on the same joint!

Obviously, majority on this thread - nejifresh, DjSol et al are silly brats that were raised on wizkid and co and think Terry G is HipHop. Before you crazy lot learnt to stop bedwetting, i've been bumping this rap sh.t

Again, i reiterate, IM2 was crap compared to the previous. And this is not bias. His 2008 works were near classics and even eclipsed Mode 9's The Paradigm Shift, but if a rapper becomes lazy and complacent, then we have to tell it as it is.

I mean, it is bad when Jesse Jagz outshines you on tracks (Represent), then this blasted mixtape. . .that was supposed to be a peace offering after the aberration called MI2

Baba_Eleko:

Na u dey wahala urself java. Me don talk my own commot. Most of these kids be 90's product wey wizkid and ice prince don dabaru dia head. Na u get time nah. I know know which main proof people want again before den go accept say 9 na naija rap legend.

phantom: ilegal music2 vs OTT?n**** please.......havent you guys insulted mode enough?

Anoda wizkid wannabe ind house. Wen did u start listening to rap my boy??

i do not like OTT, no not at all. modo didn't kill anything, if anything, he killed my appetite for his music . personally i think he owes jay z an apology . there were barely 3-4 tracks on the album, that i could refer to as d0pe. and yall definitely do know that the best track, without a doubt, belonged to boogey . as for mi's illegal music2 , heard twas d0pe. havent listened . dont take the kid seriously .

brixton:


Anoda wizkid wannabe ind house. Wen did u start listening to rap my boy??

.........i should be asking you that question.just because dem born you yesterday,you come dey listen souljah boy no suppose give you liver comment on this thread....stick to your 'dirty south' blues (note, i didnt say rap!)and quit commenting on topics your father should be debating.

@OP....i love MI o!! but seriously im dey learn work! QED

We all know Modo didnt succed in commercial rap, but M.I on the other hand has been highly successful in both hardcore and commercial rap. Now imagine if he puts all his effort into hardcore rap!

javalove:

I laugh. . . See e don tey wey i dey lecture small heads like you. . . Go watch the original BET cypher video and hear how your hero introduced Modenine. . . thats all I can tell you. .


#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

Java no waste your time... BET cypher Modenine's line- "i spot all white in the background am playing cricket/you in the background chirping/ a playing cricket"
