1. Sasha{emi le gan}-"its not a game,when iam on the mic its a shame" (totally self inflicted)
2. Modenine{Freestyle}-"They know me in Europe and they know me in Italy and Belgium" (duh)
3. P square{busy body}-"when i first saw her she was looking like an angelite,flashing like a lighter ina the candlelight" (this is tooooo, funny)
4. Sasha{emi le gan}-"Am not afraid to flip it in your flop" (wacker than wack)
5. Pherowshuz-"i can get your car lost like santana" (hello, you guys need to like quit altogether)

[size=20pt]And the winner is SASHA[/size]

Please, this 9ja hiphop is crazy. Post your own Top 5 abeg with comments. I need to laugh more.

javalove:
when he didnt have car, its fools like u that keep running your dirty mouths saying he dorsnt have a car.
now he has a car. . .a jeep at that, u say his mates have more than one car. . .

and who told u modenine is a financial competition wiv any of those reggareton dons?

and who even told u modenine is broke?

and where did u get the news that he doesnt get airplays?

hmmmm. . .  i think the best thing is for u to commit suicide. . .yes and i mean it. . .

he gets shows, drops mixtapes like he's drinking water, and dere is no known nigerian rapper is as skillful as he is. . .

weda u guys like it or not. . .MODENINE IS KING AND HE IS STILL RELEVANT IN D GAME

The rug headed fool who runs his mouth every now and then cant be called the best cos of the money he has. . .(which i still maintain that he is a baron. . .u either take it or leave it)

Well, as i said before, with fans like this, how will he ever progress.

Without hits, relevant is relative

dejiariyo:
if u truly know what u talking about hiphop u shud know good music are never played on radio and not even shown on tv, if u judging artiste by their airplays then nas shud not even be one of the greatest, if u want good songs u know where to get it, if u want terry g, go on nigezie

Omo, i rest my case. With fans like you, how will he ever progress.

dammiecool:
his own car- d baboon manage buy one tokunbo infinity jeep (1997model) hin mate get pass one car.
his own crib- see as he talk am like say na him build d house
studio-having a studio  below standard don become achivement abi?
record label- ehen wetin dat one con mean artist wey just come yesterday sef get hin own label

the truth is dat mode 9 is d oldest in d game with nothin 2 show 4 it

For once i co-sign Dammiecool. By now, he should be huge. I've listened to his new mixtape. The mixing is sub standard and none of the songs is pushing the brand any further.
If he owns his own label, he should fire everybody and re hire the right people.

I see ruggedman videos on Nigeezie everyday, MI on Nigeezie everyday, Naeto c same thing, even K16 i see everyday, no Mode 9. There's something wrong there.

If he doesn't want his legacy to be wasted, he should get cracking.

mbulela:
mode 9 is a secret cult.
not for everybody just for the chosen few 
he is a purist, he does not need commercial success. such materialism is sinful.

Then at least you and your fellow purists should support the guys music by buying it, instead of constantly asking for download links.

I don't care how you spin it. It's yes men like you that are stopping him from progressing.

HE NEEDS A HIT RECORD TO STAY RELEVANT. If you can't make hit records in the music business, even underground hit records, then you are just the same as all the other joe bloggs.

Talib Kweli, Common, Mobb Depp, Kanye, all underground cults, but they blew up.

Mode 9 seems to make music for the same 100 guys everytime.

whiteroses:
but we are not in america we are talking about nigeria.
I know some people will still say N50m is nothing, in your life time are you likely to get a N50m deal at once

I'm sorry, but what' s your point? Are you saying the money is too much, too little or that you don't think they should be getting it in the first place. Please clarify.

Not sure about Bouqui, haven't heard the album yet, but Tillaman is good on the hooks

Very original. Both lyrically and his flow. You can't say anybody sounds like him or has his style. Positive message and catchy chorus. I know Nairaland will bash it, but this is what hip-hop should be about. Invention with the lyrics and storytelling.

@Junkie: you can download off Zshare.

N50 million is roughly £200,000.00. For artists as big as P-squared, who are an African, not just Nigerian brand, that is nothing.

Drake was paid $2million advance by Lil wayne's young money and he hasn't even released an album yet. Get some perspective here. Be happy for them and stop belly aching.

Same old Mode 9. Talent wasting. He needs to change his management team. Sometimes it's not just about having the gift, it's knowing how to use it. Plus, he needs to find a marketer that will believe in his cause and really take him mainstream and for that to happen, he needs a big hit.

From the lyrics of the "i was there" track, the guy don dey become grandfather for the game and he's been active the whole time. By now, he should be a Don dada for Naija on that Jay-Z, N3 million a gig level.

This is not hating. I'm just telling it as i see it. The guy can definitely flow, but he needs to change his team. That's all i'm saying.

fastmoney:
rugged does his ting but i cant imagine myself watch MP on stage, i mean wat wuld tht big headed baboon do, wasnt he skillz aka JJC's london house boy?

LOL

ibkaye:


was just passing by, cool-e-temper biko.

No wahala

ThiefOfHearts:
That's exactly what Im saying

Wolverine already used Lagos in their movie

Let them leave Nigeria alone for the next 5 years

It's a work of fiction, a movie, it's not a documentary. We have bigger problems than being portrayed as cannibals in District 9, which by the way, is the best Sci-fi i've seen in a long time. We should be proud it was made in Africa. Hopefully, the producers will start looking for other locations and might consider Nigeria. God knows we need the investment

LOL, just read this thread with great interest. You guys need to chill out. We do enough damage to ourselves with our own movies.
According to Nollywood, Nigeria is full of Back stabbing, money grabbing, incest, rituals, murder without remorse, witchcraft, prositution, i could go on for ever.
Outside of the South Africans themselves, the biggest other black african population in JoBerg are Nigerians. The filmmakers took creative license. In the context of the story, i soon forgot that those characters were Nigerian and was engrossed in the unfolding story.
Anybody who believes Nigerians are cannibals, based on a Science Fiction film is an idiot.
The film got a worldwide release and was shot by a South African Director in South Africa. Soon, more hollywood producers will want to make films there bringing much needed support for their film industry.
We should be focusing on how to achieve this in Nigeria, instead of picking on the fact that the characters were supposed to be Nigerian.  
Or are we saying it's fine for them to be from any other country as long as it's not Nigeria?

yoji:
@audio
wether u like it or not this generation of nigerian artistes are more talented then previous. Gone are d days when our airwaves were filled with foreign garbage. All am sayin is beyond the chaff, if u search, u'l find plenty of sense. jeremiah gyang. Asa, rooftop mcs, Mi, etc dey try abeg. u are only tryin to give a dog a bad name to hang it. bottomline not all their lyrics are empty.

Actually, i totally disagree with you. For starters, you can't compare Majek Fashek or Onyeka Onwenu or the Mandators to the guys we have now. Those guys wrote real songs which could stand up anywhere worldwide. Rythm, lyrical content, composition, originality, it was all there.
Secondly, your calling the foreign stuff garbage. That alone writes you off in my book. So now, if it's not naija, it's now garbage. The garbage music as you call it, is what MI and Kel and Mo Cheddah and Sauce Kid and countless others are trying to imitate. Badly in most cases.

Bottomline is, naija likes to do Zombie and Follow the leader. Nobody wants to try and do something different, because their scared that it will not sell if they don't all sound the same.
9ice, 2face, Faze, PSquared, DBanj are all doing there own thing and are very successful, but more importantly, the lyrics are as good as the beat. I don talk finish.

I live in London, when is the concert?

obinodmx:
Support K16 and Un-Seen at Ikuku Records.com Website now up

[url=http://www.ikukurecords.com[/size][size=20pt]http://www.ikukurecords.com[/size][/url]

Just checked out the website. Pretty cool.

ibkaye:
Nice try but Nigerians really need to be more creative with their beats, everything seems to sound the same nowadays, it's getting boring.

Co-sign that. Attack of the clones

lalaboi:
@osasp!

O boy. . . .berra stop dissing naija musicians lol. . . .last time i did, i recieved threats( maybe from a fan)! lol. . .you dont wanna go there oga!. . .

My thing is, if you don't like the artist, then don't say anything or alternatively, diss once, make your point and move on. This guy just goes all over the web dissing the guy. Maybe he's trying to get a rise out of RapJunkie, i don't know, but he should realize that Junkie isn't the only fan K16 has on NL. Apart from that, it's all love.

Meanwhile, Lala, is your show sorted out for this week?

l.a.t.o:
@all
most people on this thread always feel they know it all, but to be honest with you, Rap and Music is a game, the crowd varies in most cases, Rappers like MI will not shine in places where Nigga Raw is considered a rap icon. i remember when Ruggedy came to kano and was bragging on the stage, the crowd started shouting Eedris Abdulkareem. Stop the beef and overhype pls

Well said

osasp:
k 16 = bullshyte

Osasp = K16 dickryder. It's shoved all the way in. How does it feel?

Surely you must have something better to do with your time than patrolling the web dropping negative K16 comments everywhere. You even joined his fanpage on facebook, to tell him he sucked. NOT GOOD.

You don't like him, we get it. But some of us do, so F off.

ibkaye:
That I am not suprised

If you have something to say, just say it.

yoji:
u guys shud stop sounding so ignorant. those songs u refer to are refered to as commercial club bangers i.e the artists use them to get some money. if u are patient enuff to go tru their albums, u 'l find out that many of them carry more messages as this generation has suffered more than previous generations u think are so thotful with their lyrics.  2 shots- make them talk; MI-fast cars; soul e-naija is blessed; asa-fire on the mountain; infact there are too much to mention. stop jumpin into the sea and complaining about getting wet i.e dont go to a club and expect to hear a sermon. these generation of artists are really good plus intelligent.

What a load of bollocks. So because it's a club banger as you put it, it has to be completely brain dead. What makes it worse, is that they are all saying exactly the same thing. Moet, chineke me, unu ga egbu madu, etc.

Creative originality and meaningful lyrics will always win out long term. These artists might have one hit record, but that's it.

Personally, i can't wait for the chaff to go and the new wave to begin. This is not the musical legacy Nigeria should be showing to the world.

Shout out to 2face. The only artist who consistently writes songs, not club sound bites.

what the?? how can this post have 904 views? It was only posted today and not a single reply. Lalaboi, explain

lol, really funny. Nice Post

ibkaye:
no wonder lol

Meaning what exactly?

This tune is sick.

tee-blaq:
this dude is wack!

Not as wack as your "we go make am" track. Now that's, Wacckkkk.

Tight. Nice lyrics

All i can say to Wande Coal (if the gist is true) , Don't bite the hand.
