same old Mode 9. I wish he'll do something out of his comfort zone

hahahaha, you niggaz is crazy. Only on nairaland can a translation thread finish as a sexuality thread. .

Yeah the girl is good. Did a google search, didn't get anything. Will keep looking sha. As for breaker, he's a self-servicer. Whatever respect i had for saucekid is gone in light of the zara affair, so any comparison to K16 is disrespectful as far as I'm concerned.

breaker:
YOU ARE THE JOKER FOR EVEN REPLYING MY POST. GET A LIFE. NA BY FORCE TO LIKE AM?

No it's not by force, but as par the usual, when it comes to K16, it always " I don't like him" no logic or reasoning behind it. I'm really getting fed up to be honest. Am i the only one that can see how good this guy is or is there some sort of vendetta going on here. Anyway as far as i'm concerned, he is going to blow, with or without Nairaland.

Swagga on lock is the S***

breaker:
K16 is crap. no wordplay, no punchlines. the girl no fit sing sef! rubbish. He is wack and should find better job to do.


nobody wants to hear your nonsense album, forgerrrett it!. please stop assaulting my ear drums.

It's your first post, so i'll assume your just trying to be controversial, because it's obvious that you didn't even listen to the record. If you did, then you should stop posting on this forum cause you have no idea what you're talking about. F***ing joker.

I don't know what your problem is,but i have noticed you like hijacking threads and stealing shit like a petty thief.i was the first person to ever post any thing about 9jahiphop on nairaland.next thing i know you are biting me.what the heck is wrong with you.last time when 9jahiphop was doing his top ten countdown,i posted it ist and you hijacked it and stole my shine.please just stop it.

How old are you? Seriously. You need to go out into the real world a bit more

@ topic, are you guys still on this. I thought this was like ages ago. He dissed Mode 9. It was a good diss, but he hasn't done anything since worthy of note. As far as i'm concerned, that's case closed.

tight joint

No probs, i wasn't saying you were a wasteman or anything like that, just didn't think it was fair to the dude. What different reply? lol

lalaboi:
Dont even go there. . .what do you know about the rules? Nothing i suppose. . . .
If a thread is stupid to you, simple ignore it. . . . .No one is slating anybody. . . . . whats stopping someone who smoke weed from buying cocaine if he has the money. . . . . .

Save it. . . . .Aint interested

I don't believe this, the topic is called, TERRY G IS ON DRUGS and you say no one is being slated. So basically, from your definition, i can say whatever i like without proof and it's fine, as long as you're happy with it.

So if i started a topic saying Lalaboi is Gay, will you delete that one or leave it? After all, nothing stops you from being gay. Don't you even do any kind of credibility check.?

Is is because it's Naija? You live in London like i do. You know there is no way you can make an allegation like that on any website here and get away with it.

@ Informant.
You have not offered a single iota of proof to back up what your saying. People think that because they are on a forum and their identities are secret, they can say what they like. Worse still, not one single person is questioning what he's saying.

Has it occured to anyone here, that informant might have personal beef with Terry and has decided to come and slur him on Nairaland? Like mugu's, you're all lapping it up.

Show some proof Informant or the thread should be deleted. Of course Lalaboi is supposed to be doing that, but he's joining in. So much for rules

My advice, take it to the pros. It takes years to learn how to mix and master. I'm guessing you're not quite there yet

even if she is Lesbian ( correct term), so what? This is 2009. She makes fabulous music

Wordsmith:
from audio;
i]HAVE YOU ACTUALLY LISTENED TO HIS ALBUM[/b]? the M.I songs getting massive airplay on radios in Lag, what are they? shit-tracks? ROFL, dude, don't make me laff in Greek. if songs like Blaze, Teaser, Area, Fast Money Fast Cars, Anoti are not hits, then please define what makes a song a hit.

1. Do Me - P Square
2. Nice - Gongo Aso
3. The Entertainer Album (pick any song) - D Banj
4. Yahooze - Olu Maintain
5. Kini Big Deal - Naeto C
Just a few. Will rock any party, club, gathering, whatever any day or any time in any part of Naija

Please name the MI equivalent?

javalove:
The same thing haters have been shouting about modenine. For God sake, let MI do it the way he knows how to do it . . . Must everybody go POP to make it?

You misunderstand Mr Javalove. Listen to all the top hiphop acts. Any of them. Take your pick. Busta, 50, anybody. It's not just punchline after punchline, because that's boring. They are all telling stories, bragging, whatever, but it's more about intelligent wordplay. Not just putting together a string of punchlines. Yes it's dazzling at first, but then it's like, what else you got. The truely great hiphop records (Stan: eminem, one more chance:biggie, In the club: 50, Big Pimpin: Jay Z, etc) do not rely  on punclines but memorable storylines

Stop thinking every comment that is not "MI is the greatest" is someone hating on him.

@ topic

I can assure you its not. Christ, i know this is a forum, but lets keep it real people. We are in 2009. People can verify stuff these days in seconds

coolguyz:
@audio

verily from my comments too, i dnt think we can hurriedly label MI the messiah and agree wt u in that light but i believe he is good in his own right.
likewise, i dnt think this trend of always sayin we dnt hv acts the way we have the likes of jay-z, 50cents, rick, jada, eminem and the rest in the west comes into this. this is naija and the rules here differs. we dnt hv to follow d line of argument of our politicians that cos it cost more in US to buy a gallon of gasoline therefore petrol prices shld be increased as well while ignoring the social security and healthcare system obtainable there. the genre of rap demand here is slightly different.

presently, there are a lot of acts some are good bt nt well managed and i guess thats where the hype of MI is coming from, its nt easy staying around for a long tym in naija music if u cant do more than just delievring lyrics especially for rap artistes.

Is MI the messiah of rap music in naija? i dont agree yet as well until he proves more to me but to say he aint good at all, i think its rather not objective enuf. the current climate could hv helped him bt its same wt other acts who hv nt been able to exploit it as well to make  a name and take over. he deserves some applause and surely he can only get better if he really wants to stay long on the scene.

i guess it's matter of tym

Good Response. And for the record, i never said he was not good at all. Anybody with a fanbase as big as his whether its by luck or design has got to be good. For longevity and the headline shows though, i think he will need to focus on more than just punchlines and rhyming words for the sake of it (my major gripe with him). And he will definitely need a hit track that appeals to the masses. Anyway, i'm sure he's working on it, so we'll see what happens. At least now we have 3 people to talk about not just 2.

@ Mailmac. Your comments are noted.

coolguyz:
are u really minding those HATING the poor guy?

well, MI for me has done great though i dnt think dt makes him a messiah yet. is he being over-hyped? well, i guess his PR team are doing their jobs to make sure he not only delivers lyrics bt also get rewarded for it wt commercial success. i'v seen him on stage just once at this year's rythmn unplugged and he was fairly well accepted especially when pple were pissed off wt the poor organisation of the show which started well toooooo late. i hv his album which i actually bought to see what it is abt him dt pple were talking about cos the only track i'd appreciated prior to dt was the 'safe' and 'area' which were played on radio and i can say he's okay and his illegal music which i'v heard 3 tracks from sounds gud enuf too bt i think he still need be tested b4 saying he's messiah bt for pple nt to appreciate his efforts yet - i guess its simply HATING. some pple find it hard to accept fact some artiste are gud and combine commercial success wt watever dey do - no wonder MI feels he'l b the artiste to make chocolate city's bank account blow!

The guy is good - u dnt necessarily hv to accept but u can do urself a favour by not HATING or betterstill kip the HATE to urself.

I guess the bottom line is, wether he is good or not, he has no real competition. It's not like Yankee where there is Jay Z, Kanye, Nas, Lil Wayne, Plies, 50, Jadakiss, Rick Ross, etc all battling it out. In Naija, it's RuggedMan, Mode 9 or MI and the other 2 have been around for ages. People are tired.
In fact, we don't even have enough MC's for a HipHop awards show. Hopefully, he'll open the doors for other acts.

Bonjeh:
I feel sorry for Ikechukwu, he did a good job but, MI out shone him like headlamps to a torchlight!!!!!!

Na wah oh! did you even listen to the song? Killz more than held his own. Overall good track. The only one with MI i actually like so far.

wanville:
Frankly am sick of people throwing baseless accusations concerning a fake american accent and some how inserting Mi's name some where in the post, I've know MI from Adam and he has always talked with his "fake american accent", well can you blame him? when he attended mostly American schools in Nigeria and did the majority of his college years in Michigan, Calvin College to be precise. Usually children tend to get their accents from the people  around them, If you don't like him-fine. Different strokes for different folks. The fact that Owerri wasn't receptive to him, don't mean he aint the shit in 9ja, I'll tell you what EVEN BEYONCE's show can flop, There is no celebrity that EVERYBODY in the world likes.I guess thats just a slacker on the side of his manager for getting him a show in a place where they had no market.
Most 9ja people like their traditional music , thats why D'Banj, Eldee and all the like are there, If you don't like his music, Don't buy his CD.Lets face it people MI is the best 9ja rapper that ever stepped into the music thresholds.

Interesting reply. May i ask you who your top 10 MC's of all time are. Any country. Since you think MI is the best Naija rapper to ever step into the threshold, it will be interesting to see what your standards are.

Don't get me wrong. I wish the guy every success. He has helped put hiphop back on the map which is good. He has also shown that naija is hungry for hip hop. But you all seemed to have settled on a standard, which i think is just average. But when there is no alternative, that is always the case. In yankee and Europe, there are at least 20 -30 MC's at the top of their game battling it out. In Naija, we have only MI. The trip to Owerri is a sign of things to come if he doesn't change his game up. He hasn't got a hit track yet. Something that appeals to the masses. Without the masses, you can't survive for long in Naija.

nuzo:
They get that kind of response cos they speak long grammar. They would fare better if they improve their rhymes and move to oyibo man land.
As for M.I, methinks he's trying to act kanye west.

LOL, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, take your pick. Don't get me wrong, he's not bad. But the messiah status he's getting, for me, is a bad reflection on the state of Naija hiphop. We are way better than that. Unfortunately, the music business is expensive. No matter how good you are, it's the ones that have money for Payola that everybody gets to hear. The down side is, the majority of them seem to be crap. Fake american accents everywhere, when we all speak pidgin, english and indeginous languages. I tire

dammiecool:
Dj jimmy jatt ft mode9,tuface n one wack boy called elajoe(newscaster)
anytime he performes style d crowd do respond

Got it. Thanks.  Like i said. The music business is built on hit records. Unfortunately for Mode 9, the only one he has is not even his own. It's a feature

dammiecool:
MI is not alone,this is also the kind of response mode 9 get from d crowd,his stage performance is very dry.
Thank God 4 jimmys stylee

I don't get. What do you mean by Jimmy's Stylee? 

Bonjeh:
IT is true O that you have conquered Lagos doesn't mean that U hav conquered Naija. MI is a talented rapper and performer. I think he can play both the commercial side and purist hiphop. The truth about music is that it is subjective. It is not so much about your talent but the size of your buzz. I mean look at Olu manitain back in the day there were times he got stoned with pure water but look at him now. I believe if MI works on his buzz in Owerri and goes back there, he will tear it up!!

So what exactly does that mean? You don't need talent anymore or good music for that matter, just the hype? I thought it was supposed to be the other way round. I thought it was your talent that brought the hype.
The truth is, MI is overhyped. He really isn't that good. There has been no clear superstar this year (like 9ice last year) and naija people in the absence, have chosen MI and papered over all the obvious cracks.
But remember, Lagos is not Naija. People keep forgetting that. Because BellaNaija and all the girls in VI think your hot, it doesnt mean you've now conquered the nation.

D'Banj can rock anywhere, because he has done his homework and his album  encompasses the nation. He also has several HIT Records. MI on the other hand has none. The music business is built on hit records.

I grew up in Owerri. MI can buzz all he likes, but people there are not interested in lyrics like "sick like syphillis" . Like i keep saying. Don't believe the Hype

mr_me_too:
Ok first off, we have a LOT more talented artists than those. Then IMO, I'm not all that worried of any crash of the industry whatsoever cos all these songs we have around nowadays are just a sign of how well the music industry is doing and as long as ppl still buy and enjoy that kind of music, they'll keep filling the airwaves and shelves. The good thing though is there are still a number of artists that stand out, I could mention a couple, so if one gets tired of the cookie cutter stuff out there, there are still quite a number of options to escape to.

Many people don't know what they want, they claimed 2face's album lacked party songs so many didn't even give it a chance now ppl are tired of those kinds of songs. I suggest ppl take time to listen to certain artists, sometimes good music takes time to be appreciated. We've become very lazy in listening, we just respond to beats and this in turn has made most artists lazy with their production.

Very well said

The money for those shows helps support the growing Music industry, which is giving jobs to many people. Look at the bigger picture

dejiariyo:
he got similar reception here  london,pple were just sleeping when he was perfoming

True that. One of my girls went to that show, she said the crowd were not feeling him at all. Some people thought they were coming to see Nateo C

afam4eva:
All this lagos should know that conquering lagfos does not necessarily mean that the've conquered Nigeria.

Tell them oh. 140 million people that all live in Lagos. Abeg
