It's gud to come back one's senses.


BTW learn to keep ur life away from the media space

JuanDeDios:
Na so we see am o. Once you're a pastor, your wife becomes Pastor (Mrs).

Av always wondered.... Why many male pastors wives are pastors too

Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!




That said.... I do not believe in gatthering at any place every year to seek God.


A time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem” is what the Bible says.


And I don't believe in writing ones desires on paper and praying on it.



The verse continues, "Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him".


So learn to pray.


Anyways the Bible also says, whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.


Seek him.
Not miracles.

Kukutenla:
This is good news

Bit it seems CBN is flooding the market with dollars or where's the excess dollars coming in from? It was previously claimed that we need to become productive for our currency to appreciate

The value of the naira has been heavily decimated since APC came into power we hope the are able to work out a genuine respite for our currency

Perhaps people from outing the country coming in for Xmas

More dust due to massive constructions in abuja than due to the harmattan

Just ok. Nothing special.



That's why we cannot point out 1 single state in Nigeria that has grown in leaps and bounds in last 30 years.

No 1.

Frm oyo to zamfara to Katsina to cross river to abia.

No one

gidgiddy:
The foundation to even get the the right leadersbin Nigeria does not exist. Your vote doesn't even count

Without the right foundation, there's no chance of getting the right leaders

In a country like Nigeria, even if the right person is elected, does he or she perform well?


I have never heard of any Nigeria governor perform well even when they are judged ' right'

gidgiddy:
Not true. You can have the right leaders, but if you have the wrong foundation, those right leaders will become bad leaders

Name ten right leaders in Nigeria in the last 10 years.

Am waiting.



Wetin concern foundation with leadership?

If an administration messed up, can't the new one do better?

Are we still gonna blame Lord lugard?

Sirmwill:
Sounds true.


But
Where is the proof?

Absence of proof doesn't make it a lie.

By the way, why do u think naija music videos are the best in Africa and even compete with the best in the world?


Naija musicians spend money.
The song may be trash but the visuals are good.

NB and not a naija music fan but I see the expenses in their videos.

Till now Africa no fit build jets.

EmperorCaesar:

The earlier report wasn't talking about this formal blending.

The tone of the report should tell u that.

malali:
Gullible Nigerians

How many people in the world have $800 million cash at home.

Even dangote, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos dont have that kind of money Cash.

Maybe Pablo Escobar when he was alive.

Or those Arabs.

Aside them, no body can claim to have even 100 m dollars at home.

And 1 trillion naira worth of drugs.

It's hilarious

nairamaniac:
I'm just seeing this your post now now sooo.

Today sooo.

And you are Soo right.

Truely, rappers lyrics are a reflection of their environment, history and RACIAL-CULTURE.

And Eminem cants keep up with other black rap greats in that regard.

That's why in recent times we can all relate with DAVE(Nigerian British) rapper, cos his knowledge of his history is deep and he applies it sooo well in his songs.
Even if he's probably not amongst the best rappers.

Concerning,renegade; Eminem went all out crazy, poetic, religious, fantastic word play, more cadence than Jay-z, tooo good for Jay-z to handle, adhered more to the theme/purpose of the song.

And he's had some other songs as serious and touching on renegade's level. E.g Loose yourself.
Quite enough for someone who is not considered a true-rap-lyricslcist.

No matter how weaknesses, his strengths should place him on anybody's TOP-5.

The only crappy to me that is on Eminem's level of Wordplay&candence to me is THE NOTORIOUS BIG.

And BIGGY Probably has made the best RAP ALBUM EVER called LIFE AFTER DEATH.

That's the BIBLE OF RAP MUSIC.

Ok I agree with some of ur points.

But I beg to differ on these:


Bigge is a far better rapper than Eminem.
Big pun too
Big L too
Prodigy of mobb deep too
Cormega too
AZ too
GZA
Method man
Korrupt too



Life after death isn't the Bible of hip hop but 'illmatic'

It's not even a better album than it was written.

There are certain rappers that put less concentration on rhyming and more on content but end rhyming better than most rappers even with their use of big English vocabularies. Biggie, Nas, pun, Canibus and Nas fall into that category.

As far as renegade goes, I'll give it a draw.
Half the time Eminem was busy rhyming, jay was storytelling.

Pls listen to it again with the lyrics and try and see my point.
Where Eminem succeeded in creating awe with wordplay, jay succeeded in metaphors and life story whilst rhyming.



It's just like in Nas magic 3 album in the track 'never die' feat lil Wayne.

Nas goes into pockets of storytelling while rhyming. Meanwhile lil Wayne is busy rhyming the same assonance thru out his verse as if that will be the most impressive thing ever.



To be fair, Eminem cannot be in a top 5.

He has perhaps only 1 classic album( in a long list of albums)
Same reason jada kiss, despite his skill set is not a top 10 rapper... No classic album.
Same with Andre 3000, no classic materials. Just good or very good album

Bigggie, pac, jay, Nas, game, are all better suited for that top 5.


And yes, the game is a better rapper than Eminem in all honesty.

Eminem used to be my favorite rapper. Then I could rap all the songs on the Eminem show.
But later he started this annoying fast rap that allows him wander out of the subject matter and just be rhyming like an idiot.


As good as his rhyming is, he's nowhere big L, AZ or Nas or pun or kool g rap, (rhyming wise)


He has never made a song( actually no rapper has) like Nas take it in blood( part 1 and 2), memory lane or it ain't hard to tell.

Those are difficulty level A songs with brutal vocabulary.


Eminem is a beast. Just like Andre 3k.

But not a well rounded rapper like some of the greats.

These females artists are miles ahead of Beyonce if we are talking pop

Karen Carpenter ( of the carpenters)
Lady Gaga( vocals, performance etc)
Shania twain( omo billboard dey mad?)
Mariah Carey( by miles)
Kelly Clarkson ( even vocally)
Cher( longevity)..... And remember her 'believe album?)
Velasquez regine
Adele
Whitney Houston ( nuff said)
Madonna
Alanis morrisette




Beyonce is just a Hollywood puppet.
She's good no doubt.

But can never lace the shoes of those I mentioned above

Lady Gaga is a better pop artist than Beyonce.

nairamaniac:
I agree 100% with all you said here.

And I don't think you can know or love NAS as much as I do.


Nas has been clearly my most intelligent lyricist since the 90's.

Iv been giving NAS props in this same nairaland for more than 10years.

And Nas's ONE MIC has always been the most INTELLIGENT RAP SONG ever made in history.

But the thing is *I guess you are just more of into hardcore or pure-black Culture in your perspective of what Rap should be, that's why you exclude Eminem in your list*.

There was none of those rappers you mentioned up there that I didn't bop my head to or listened attentively to.
None.

You really have no idea.


But in as much as my idea of rap mirrors yours in many ways, I can never totally relegate Eminem to be in the same sentence with the word "abysmal".

NEVER EVER.


You know why?

Cos Eminem did even better than most of those pure black rappers you mentioned here in songs that he needed to be UNCOMEDIC.

In songs that he didn't want to be funny.

Sir, in songs like:
1. Renegade
2. Song for the moment.
3. Loose yourself
4. Toy soldiers.
and several others.


You see my brother, I was spoilt with pure hardcore rap songs growing up.

But you see that white boy called Eminem.
He is all those your favorite rapper's favourite rapper.

Good take Sir.
Am happy u mentioned Renegade.

Another song Eminem did well was 'say what you say' feat Dr. dre.

Now.. Think back... Has Eminem had a verse as intense and as intelligent since Renegade?

That's what am talking about when I say Eminem's content is abysmal.

Or maybe a better description is that his songs are difficult to relate to in terms of mature content.

I believe it's because of the way he grew up. I mean obviously, one cannot rap about the things he wasn't involved in.

But then again, remember that many of the greatest rappers studied a lot of science, religion, politics etc and they are able to input it in their songs very intelligently and artistically.

Eminem don't have such. It's just the same themes over and over in his last 6 albums and more.

Gza, rakim, Nas, jay etc make use if the English language so well.

Even push t who to me is a C list rapper has more intelligent Personifications than Eminem.

Whenever Eminem tries to sound clever with his metaphors, Personifications, and other literally devices,it just ends up falling short intellectually appealing.

Eminem doesn't have the kind of Nas lines like:



Steak tartare bloody, mercury levels from raw fish
Sushi for lunch, waiter at the table, the cork twist




I admit tho, Eminem's word play is ridiculous. Very ridiculous.

But then again if u notice, Eminem and big L focus a lot on word play but the difference is that big L has more intelligent and mature use of the words. Eminem will awe u momentarily but at the end come off as a bit childish.


If eminem had continued in the line of renegade type verses... Trust me he would be in my top 15 at the very least.

Respect for ur assessment and submissions Sir.

Frm the comments in this thread, it's very clear that eedris is the preferred human.

It's very clear that timaya is telling half truth

Balthazar.... Is that u?

Am waiting for any idiot to blame Lord lugard.

For the past 3 decades Nigerians have been stealing the future.


Just imagine the outrageous nonsense.


750 duplexes!

Like wtf

The most ridiculous thing is that every time he goes to court, properties are being forfeited.

I don't think anyone has more properties than EMEFELIE in Africa.


To start with..... Who do u know has 750 duplexes in the world?

Rekyz:
This man deserves to rot in jail. I'm just dumbfounded
