Lol ok. Guess I am a tomboy.

Anyhow, it's better when dudes on here don't know I am a lady cos then can't come with all that sexist ish, such as acting like you can't rap cos you're female.

Lol, why are you shocked I am female?


Not criticising, just calling it as I see it, even if said in jest.

I think it's comments that that hold us back. She is tryna imply that you should limit yourself and that is never a good thing. When people ask what kinda music i listen to, I always say classical music. I love to see their reaction. I listen to anything that is good.

@kgoddie


My first comment was tongue in cheeck. but on a serious note, i read a lot of the so called freestyles and I am bored now, it's like the same dude writing the same lines over and over, you dig. I am not all that but i am better than a lot of the dues on here,


P.s I am female.

I'm on a quest to find the root of the unecessary bragging
the lies these lil brothers tell is staggering
you aint never held a nine,dont waste my time
wanna talk about bussing clips then get in line
we heard it all before like anderson sunshine

No orignality, live a fallacy for a reality
They forget to rep where they come from
I spit truths that explode on impact like dum dums



Just a lil something.

@Kaydee you must be puffing on that La!

Lol, don't comment on my intelligence dude, you don't know me, make your point and keep it moving.


I won't resort to name calling like you, because you seem to enjoy it. Listen, there is no way, I repeat, no way, you can reach your own people ridding the style and rhythms of other people. If you read back, I actually acknowledged that mode 9 is a decent lyricist but his message is lost on me because he raps in a Yankee accent. I cannot get with that, I think it's fake!

That you can actually listen to Sauce Kid without cringing says something about you, the kid sucks big time, he says nothing of worth and to top it off, he raps in an American accent, Take someone like Olu from Maintain, dude is not the best in the world but guess what, you cannot fault his authenticity, he 100% naija, no cop outs. I can bump his track in my whip without being embarrassed about the way dude raps cos he is repping a way of life where I come from, I understand him even if i find his content rather shallow.

According to you, rugged is a wack lyricist, that's cool, each to his own, but I know who I would much rather bump in my whip, if you dig my meaning.

Again, people can often read a little something and jump on their key board to type in their foolish pseudo-American slang. Tuface's success is largely due to the fact that dude is keeping it real. He is not trying to be Tyrese or Usher or any other American Star. Dude keeps it real, in his own language.



If you cannot understand that, there must be something wrong with you.

peace.

All you dudes are wack! You're all on some fake ass American Steez! Rapper like a proper Nigerian and lets see who is the best

@ Skingo

What Language do you want him to rap in? Igbo? Come on man! English is our lingua franca and the only we can make it ours is to have our own twist on it, hence the pidgin style. Dude, I am just not feeling 9 or sauce kid or any of these American wannabes, simple.


Lol @ Alisigwe, yea 9 and Rugged are known over here but its not like people go out and buy their music, I do not care what UK rappers make in Nigeria, I do not rap, I am a consumer of the music and I wanna hear people who are like me and who rep where I am coming from If you can't understand that, there's no talking to you.



Peace.

@ alisgwe,


Why don't you type in English? Hmmn? I could give two Fs about the UK rap scene but I can tell you for a fact that the kids doing it over here have there own style, completely!

If you love 9, that's on you. I am not feeling cos I think the dude is fugazi.



Peace

Not the language @ skingo, The style.


I can say that because it is true! Listen, the style the guy employs is unique to us, so I am in essence introducing them to Nigerian hip hop that they can understand. I do not know why that is hard is to understand. Ruggeddy Baba is in my opinion the hip hop song of the year, because of the beats, the chorus and the essence of the song, which is 'keeping it real Naija'.

That is why I prefer rugged and any other 'Original' Naija hip hoppper.


Peace.

Lol@ allisgwe. I can barely understand what you have written, please write in English not your own Naija version of American English.

If for you all In Nigeria you find mode9 to be a rapper of substance then that is good enough but I find it embarrassing personally that he raps the way he does. I love rugged cos through him I can introduce 'Naija' rap to my friends over here. Of course we are going to be influenced, inevitably, by Americans but we need to find our own angle of hip hop.

Why do you think 2face blew up the way he did? because he repped Naija to the fullest. African queen was and is still big in the UK cos we can say, 'yea, this is our own' That's why I dig Tuface.

I just can't get with all these pseudo American rappers but if Naija people dig it, then it's all good.

@alisigwe,

One question, what does 'keeping it real' mean to you?


Mode 9 sucks. Listen, I do not care how good an MC is, if you are not 'real' then you suck. Imagine a rapper claiming to rep Naija rapping like an American? how the hell does that sound? who wants to hear an American knock off when jay z, Nas and common etc are still around. He spits in pigeon and he does it well. I don't want a rapper to spit nonsense but because it's pigeon I'll buy the CD, no, it's possible to sound ill spitting in pigeon and I think Rugged man does that.

We want real rappers, not embarrassing wannabes who make us as a nation look bad, case in point Sauce Kid. The guy is the most embarrassing thing to happen Naija music since Idris Abdul Kareem.

Just keep it real and make sure your own people can understand and relate to you.

Lol @ anyone saying that Mode9 or any other Naija Mc is seeing Rugged. As an MC, you first point of order is to rep where you hail from. Mode and Sauce kid rap like Americans and that to me is where they fail. As a British Nigerian, I know where to buy real American rappers' CDs from if that is what I want to listen to. When I when I buy a CD by a Nigerian Artist, I want them to rep Nigeria and tell stories about where they come from. That to me is why Rugged is the top guy. He may be lyrically inferior to Mode9 (just by a sliver) but I know who I would rather listen to.


PS, what Hip Hop song of the past couple of years is seeing 'Ruggedy Baba' in terms of quality, originality and sheer 'Naijaness'

Our flag is that colour for the same reason that we have arabic words on our notes......... Green & White are the colours of islam...

I was telling my pops this as well......trust me the muslims control a lot you dont about.......the reason our flag is that colour is also because green and white are muslim countries..check out the colours of MoST muslim countries and you'll see......
