@MRbrownJAY

You're right 'bout him steppin' on toes with the homo thingy . . . never really thought about that till now.

@A-40

Like you also asked me not long ago, where have you been??  

You're right he didn't pave way for Shaggy . . . both were contemporaries really . . . but I meant the crossover scene really . . . I think Shabba banged the crossover scene real hard before he did.

You can't define dancehall/ragga music properly without mentioning his name.

You can't trace the history of that genre without referring to him.

He strode the planet like a colossus . . . the sonorous, menacing, and growling voice, the seamless flows, the smooth rhythm, the melody . . . the raw energy and electric presence he brings into his songs . . . he's undeniably a legend.

In his prime, he was an amazing crossover bang . . . not only was he the real deal in Jamaica . . . he was in America too . . . his blend of reggae, hip hop and R 'n' B was fascinating . . . call Ranks a Jamaican MC/Rapper and you wouldn't be far from the truth . . . he was into the art of 'toasting' . . . that was his style . . .

He is to Dancehall/Ragga what the likes of Biggie and KRS-One are to Hip Hop . . . of course he never had amazing lyrics, I'm referring to how these MCs spin words so beautifully you just wanna swallow 'em . . .

Even R 'n' B crooners would love the feel of:

"Mr Loverman" (that intermittent scream - Shabba!)
"Let's Get It On" (duku duku!! you do me and I do you  )
"Housecall" . . .

And the list goes on . . .

His collaboes with Maxi Priest, Johnny Gill, KRS-One, and Queen Latifah attest to his versatile style . . . he even went as far as Eddie Murphy . . . 

He churned out hits like "Pirates' Anthem" (one of ma fave), "Trailer Load-A-Girls", "Ting-A-Ling", "Shine Eye Gal", "Wicked Inna Bed", "Roots and Culture", "Telephone Love", "Twice My Age", "Family Affair", "Dem Bow", "King of Dancehall" . . . and kept the whole world dancing . . .

What's more to say about him?? His sex-soaked lyrics?? This speaks for itself . . . 

Just wondering where this colossus is?? Though he appeared in "Clear The Air" with Busta Rhymes and Akon not long ago, he's been totally off the scene for ages . . . yes he paved the way for the likes of Shaggy, Beenie Man, Sean Paul, Elephant Man, etc . . . and he's an O'Gee in the game . . . but with the way he's carrying on, the next time the world might remember him again might be when he dies . . . 

Well, nuff said . . . alla-massive on crew, if yu ah love Shabba Rankin' . . . big up uno chests an' drop a line . . .

[color=#770077][size=12pt][font=Garamond]~I'll help you ask that question again Bamsyle "Where the heck is Shabba Ranks along w/ Patra ~ Aswad ~Pliers ?"

The dude was is a legend (he's so good one can easily pardon him for sub-standard lyrics) . . . the voice, the flows, the melody . . . and yeah - Patra, Pliers and Aswad (Shine - that mellifluous song - and I also remember his "Fire" with Shabba Ranks).

rapjunkie:
nice one, . . . . i take off my hat to you, sir

. . . . . . . . . i didnt even get any of the lyrics right!!

just found it youtube

You're welcome bruv . . . I take off my hat in mutual respect . . . for the love we both share for Coco T . . . 

Obvious reason - Nigeria is as synonymous with Corruption/Bad Leadership as Ghana is with Transparency/Democratic Rule . . . period.

Hehe . . . names like Finecountry, LongJohn, Goodluck crack me up . . . but like some posters have noted, it's not applicable to Nigeria alone . . . talking about sounds, how do Chinese names like Chong Hu, Jin Chang, etc sound??

You can open and close your mouth within 2 seconds and a Chinese name has been created . . . it's prolly cos they're too many and need to save time . . .

rapjunkie:
coco t . . . . .i remember him. he has one track that i really liked. no idea what its called and havnt heard it in ages. . . . . . . it sort of went 'coco t when him come he make the dancehall feel alive . . . .e yu be yu be yu be yu be . . . .'

Coco-T's one great singer . . . just didn't do the cross-over thingy like 'em Shaggy, Shabba Ranks, Sean Paul, Chakademus/Pliers, Wayne Wonder, Kelvin Lyttle et al . . .

I believe the song is "Come Again" (du be du be du, Coco T him come again) . . .

Dancehall and Rub-a-dub are my best forms . . .

Got a long list really but these quickly came to mind:

Shabba Ranks (Where is this dude )

Shine Eye Gal
Pirates Anthem
Let's Get It On
Family Affairs

Coco T

Too Young
Run Around Girl

See how the rest of the world respects our artistes, meanwhile we are busy running after banky W and eldee, chai.

Same sentiments shared bruv.

baba Fela The only Abami Eda in the whole wide world. The only voice that stood solidly against all forms or corruption and military dictatorship. The greatest prophet of our time. The one and only true black president. The son of the most powerful woman in the history of Nigeria: Chief Olufunmilayo Ramson Kuti.

Yes . . . and the best, greatest and most prolific music talent Africa has ever produced.

Aiight . . . nice to see that NL has got some reasonable peops after all . . .

BTW, where's the friggin' dolt that started this thread?? I'm in the mood to wallop a thick skull . . .

kay_pumpin:
It's amazing how this thread reached this number of page.

Really amazing. . . . . . .

The reason is quite simple . . . agreed that the thread is daft . . . and ought to have died at page 1 . . . but some folks love to thump dafties in their heads . . . just to drive home some hard truths . . .

It's for the fun of it . . . lighten up bruv and laugh all the way . . .

pally, enough of the heart burns, probably we got off on the wrong foot!

Alright . . . "hatchet buried".

Goat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it not his nose?hissssssssssssssssssssssssss

You need to go back to the zoo . . . you ought not to have been released so early . . .

So, you don't even undersatnd what I posted there?? Ok, I'll take the pains to explain - answering the question posed by this thread is similar to trying to find out which of these two organs is better - ya over-sized nose or ya smelly mouth?? 

hectorswag:
you're of no use to me!!!

Hehe . . . of course I'm not . . . I'm not a gay . . .

hectorswag:
and after saying all these you feel fulfilled,

make sure you tell ur wife what and what you did in the offiz 2day

asshole!!!

Hehe . . . look at this dim-witted oaf . . .

Wife?? You must be hallucinating . . . 

That's what you get when you stick ya cancerous nose into other peop's affairs you dingbat . . . 

Martinxmart:
Maybe he did it with Kells permission who knows,

Exactly how I expect any right-thinking person to reason . . . I'm happy you added this to what you had earlier typed . . . whether you pour vituperations on 2face or not, fact remains that none of you lot knows for now whether or not he did it with his permission . . . how old is the song?? Ain't it too early to jump to conclusions?? Calling him a crook and a liar all cos he didn't show up at the airport to welcome Kel?? What if Kels later makes an announcement to affirm his endorsement of the track??

Open your eyes and reason well . . . don't be dragged into whatever issue bumsquad might have with 2face . . . he has already told us he's a DJ . . . prolly he expects 2face to pay him the usual peanuts he receives for spinnin' artistes' tracks but this hasn't been forthcoming . . .

tolala:
poster i will like to curse u on behalf of 2 face, why,u said u will refrain from insults but still u continued to insult 2 baba by calling him 2 fruad, i thereby refer you to the book of malakai in the bible, go and take your share of the curse there that is meant for enemies of progress like you.OLO SI OLORI BURUKU, OTA ALE NNI MA DEYIN, moderator notice that i only called him what he is!

The dork has just been making a nuisance of himself all along . . . no one is even saying R.Kelly went to the studio to record with him . . . all I'm tryna tell the dolt is that he musta obtained R.Kelly's permission to use the track . . . it's not sumn new - a lotta artistes do it . . . I'm sure the loony hasn't listened to Shaggy's version . . . and someone else was still over-flogging the fact that Kels did not drop a verse . . . as if we do not know

It's really irritating when morons flood a forum to spread their diseased theories . . . one of the things I hate most in life is when a person is daft . . . how can someone carry such a heavy thing called a brain in his head and not put it to use?? Calling someone a crook and a liar based on unfounded theories??

The dumbo coulda articulated his points better but he's only been rambling here like an autistic kid.

@bombsquad

You need to learn the basics of communication . . . all the names I've called you here are not insults . . . calling someone what he portrays himself to be is different from insulting the person . . . you've created an impression of a daftie with your posts on this thread so what's wrong with calling you by ya name??

Which points and facts have you presented?? You just came in here to hurl garbage that's better suited for your toilet . . . it would've been better if you opened a thread with titles like "Why Did 2face Not Show Up At The This Day Show??", "Flex Was not An Original Collabo" and stuff . . . but when you open a thread on one of the most hardworking music acts in your country calling him names like "fraud", "crook", and "liar", then what you sow is what you reap . . . you can't open fire on someone and expect not to get fired yaself.

And all along, your theories and opinions are very senseless . . . I see no iota of sense in what you've been saying all along . . . I respect intelligence, not mediocrity . . . it's very irritating when someone argues without nous or common sense . . . all you needed was to state your OPINION (and don't label it as "fact" in a sensible/nice manner . . . you'll have received nice responses . . . but you carelessly put ya ringworm-infested nose in a bee hive, so why complain if you get stung??

Anyone reading such asinine comments like this would know that there's sumn wrong with ya mental faculties:

Back to the point, We are not saying tu-fraud stole the r.kelly song ,what is been enfercised on this thread is that the collabo is [b]unofficial,unoriginal,[/b]and hence does not qualify in this same regard as tu had us believe, There's nothing unheard of if a musician picks up an artiste's data and sings on it and obtains from the artiste's label what could be termed 'approval for use of old material for editing' whereby the artiste might not even know at all and when he hears the song or finds out later,his people inform him that the person has paid a paltry sum for the minor use of the song, it's even more like love and respect to the artiste, but when you deceivingly and cunningly attempt to deceive an entire country cum contiment into believing that what you have is an official,authorized and original collaboration with an international artiste of r-kelly's repute when that is not cleary the case,you have committed a felony to your people ,brought shame and disrepute to your country and unknowingly brought an untimely end to what could have been termed a blossoming career,

Tu has failed a nation,and more a continent, he has ended his own career and i just hope we dont have another majek fashek in the making.

Read the emboldened parts over and over again and tell me you were in a right frame of mind when you typed 'em . . . a man laces his voice over someone else's and you say he has committed felony, failed his nation, etc?? And all these without even waiting for the whole scenario to play itself out??

At this point it should even be clear to you that I'm just having fun rappin' my knuckles into that fat head of yours . . . oh, so you think I'll condescend to have a dumbass argument with you? I ain't the type to waste my time arguing with retards . . . someone that spells "emphasised" as "enfercised" . . . a DJ cum barrister . . .

Life ain't fair atimes . . .

westcodes:
Let common sense prevail here, remember how hyped Tu(fraud)face collabos always are, Even with Reggie Rockstone, the one with Bennieman was pointless yet it was shoved down our mouth till it sounded good,

How hyped were his collabos? Was it as hyped as the Faze/Akon collabo that never saw the light of day?? Did anyone even hype the ones he did with Reggie Rockstone and Beenieman?

His collaboration with R Kelly is a big scam, he is great artiste nevertheless but common, why didnt he show up at the show At least for recongnition sake, Not every artiste present at the show was billed to perform, remember how he neva left bennieman's said for a min now why hide away from the king himself, Lets be open minded, no body is pulling anybody down, Shank and Akon collabo, thats an example of a legit collaboration,

You won't spew these nonsense if you had tasked your brain cells a lil' bit . . . just pause for a few seconds to do this - it ain't that hard . . .

Even if he did not turn up for a show, so that translates to him running away?? Jeez, Nigeria is hopeless if your type is what we have as citizens . . . are you losing your mind?? What if he was billed for another show?? 2face is not a small/unknown artiste that'll steal a song from R.Kelly so brazenly . . .

If y'all say that R.Kelly did not record in the studio with him, it's understandable . . . but y'all are saying he stole the song . . . it's glaring that he only laced his voice over R.Kelly's song . . . and he musta done it with Kels' permission . . .

Why is it so difficult for illiterates like you to simply think logically?? You don't need to go to school to do this.

triistar86:
Bombsquad, Seriously dude did 2baba collect you lolly? Just wondering why you would just decide to dedicate all your energy to pulling dis guy down.
Okay we have heard 2baba better still [s] Tufraud innocent idibia is A Crook and Liar[/s]. Thank you very much for the info.
So please can we all rest now!!!! Aarrrrghhhh

The guy's a mule . . . common sense is as far to him as Heaven is from the Earth . . . he thinks he can propagate a personal vendetta against an artiste that's busy doing his bizniz . . . as long as I'm around, I'll keep puncturing holes in his ill-conceived theory.

hectorswag:
what's your point

Bang ya head against the wall five times . . . and you just might get it.

Pure semantics . . .

You're not the type that can teach me anything . . . and I say that with all modesty . . . especially when music is the issue . . . I'll learn more from a goat bleating . . .

If you go check the meaning of 'feature/featuring' in a dictionary, you just might get the concept . . . but I doubt that you'll yet understand . . .

With all the shittery you've been spewing here all day, I'm surprised you haven't even alleged that the voice on "Flex" was Ali Baba's - maybe they used computer effects to make it sound like Kels . . .

Ewe . . .

Hehe . . . I'm sure this lummox hasn't listened to Shaggy's version . . .

The goon would soon tell us that Fela's voice was fake on the track Lagbaja did with him . . . he feels a collabo means the dudes were both in the studio to record together at the same time . . .

He keeps saying he weeps for his people . . . all these cos of a collabo?? All the rats in Ikeja must be nibbling away at ya brain . . . this oaf has gotta be clowning and I'm having a laugh . . .

What a gowk . . .  

bombsquad:
Is it proper to take advantage of a people because most of their populace are illiterate and unenlightened by giving them a computer collaboration and feeding it to them as the real jig??I believe it is a very wicked action on people that have been so generous to you in your career, it is not fair, Tu should either deny or defend the song with strong proof,

This gimbo is still spewing B.S here . . .

Some demons must be dancing yahooze in ya fat head . . .  

bombsquad:
it's obvious this thread is not going anywhhere, tufraud is never gonna apologize, his legacy would always be haunted by this one collaboration unless he denies or defends it,

May his career rest in peace.

Signing out, BOMBSQUAD!!

This dude is even more stupid than I initially thought . . .

What a dingbat . . .

The guy's sentence construction sef is sumn else . . . he must have been using his head to spin on the turntable . . .

tosinaded@:
such an uneducated hater!!!

a fact facts are backed up with proof!!!!!
wen did ideas of posters start turning to facts
just wallow in ur stupidity

The dude's such an unrepentant loonie . . . he musta gone to school to learn how to be a plonker . . . imagine someone waking with a silly idea up his mind and coming here to state it as a fact . . .

DJ my foot.

bombsquad:
This was taken @ an event, anyone can walk up to anyone at an event and take a picture, show me a picture of them in the studio with a mic and a mixer console and i would apologize to tufraud for this thread, i have his phone number.
@ Bamysyle :once again u resort to insults, you mustve had a very abusive upbringing, i empathize.

Ya ill-fated moms has to be singing "Why Me Lord" for raising a dumbo like you . . . you have no intelligence at all . . . you make an ewe look like a professor . . .  

bombsquad:
@ bamysyle : i have raised nothing but facts here which i can defend with evidence and instances, you do nothing but insult and abuse which is what illeterates that lack expressive and unsubstantial material do.I have no fight with you,

Hehe . . . this guy is a muppet . . .  

I swear I've never come across a dumber poster all my life . . . did your human development end at the homo rhodesiensis stage?? Whoever released you from that cave has done you a world of injustice . . .  

you might even be natz or any other one of the tufraud cronies that mislead him and chop his money, im only here to open peoples eyes to the music yahoo tufraud has commited and possibly get him to tender an apology to the good people of nigeria who have really helped him over the years, you wouldnt have that toyota sienna if it wasnt for the good ngerian people u guys are now scamming.

You're mistaken . . . I'm 2face's younger bro you thicko . . .  

Tender an apology?? On this daft thread?? Me driving a Toyota Sienna?? OMG, check upstairs . . . you musta lost three nuts in ya head . . .  

bombsquad:
You have only re-affirmed my statment without knowing, all the achievements you listed above were recorded when he was on kennis music, why hsnt he recorded any achievements since he left kennis??Only yahoo music recordings and failed performances, I weep for my brother tufraud not-innocent idibia.

Oh, he hasn't recorded any achievement since he left Kennis?? Ask yourself how many artistes are left with Kennis??

Even tomfools in Nigeria know that Kennis is all about publicity stunts and showmanship . . . so - cos you don't see him hyping himself, then he hasn't achieved anything??

You're so eager to see him fall . . . but I see your epileptic DJ career flopping instead . . .

Can't you use your brain?? Jeez, anyone that invites a 'DJ' of your type to an event is doomed!!

bombsquad:
Na wa for all these hypertek agents, on what basis are you rating tufraud as nigeria's best??is it on the strength of kennis music promotion,exportation or what??why hasnt he been able to move any muscle since he stopped fucking kenny ogungbe??oh liek now ure gonna tell me you didnt know kenny was gay and that tufraud was his bitch,

I'm gonna be civil with you . . . so I won't call you names . . . except that for the sake of calling a spade a spade . . . I'll tell you that you ought to have used the moniker "Birdbrain" . . . then I won't have any prob with all the balderdash you keep spewing in here . . .

You folks are just plain stupid,ignorant and lame,

Any neutral mind reading your asinine posts in here would easily know that these words naturally describe you.

I have nothing with mr bling bling xcept for the fact i play his songs,but tufraud needs to apologize for trying to play a fast one on nigerians, expecially now that he has been exposed, kels never for once madde a mention of him on stage, matter of fact you shouldve been there at federal palce hotell WC and Dbanj were having a field day, everyone was asking the same question, Where tuface?

Exposed?? With this daft thread that you set up out of your idle mind??

No you can't be a DJ . . . except you're referring to "[b]D[/b]umbo/[b]J[/b]obernowl"

That's what you are . . .  

tosinaded@:
you should av just come here to promote terry G!

comparing him with 2face haba, are u drunk

Nor mind this guy . . . if you wanna promote an artiste, just come in here and do so without trying to pull another one down . . .

How can anyone compare Terry Pee with 2face?? Terry'll be damned . . .

bombsquad:
I liked tuface before but i believe he has put a very big strain on his carer with this unfortunate mistake

Thundering typhoons in a billion avalanches . . . what mistake?? and what strain did he put on his career??

You're taking this thing too far dude . . . one of these days, you'll ask 2face to produce his birth certificate to enable you believe he's Idibia's son . . .

You and a very few minority are the ones complaining here . . . rod a poll on this thread . . . it ain't even an issue amongst Nigerians.

i'm a DJ and my job is to help nigerian artistes and spread their music////,

You know what?? I also don't believe this.
