Sauce aint based in naija 4 now!

So!!! Even when he is in Naija nko?

skingo:



we all kknw that before u get shows and endorsements u hav to drop an album.
sauce kid has not dropped an album so till date he has succeeded.
people who have not got album or nominations can't walk a fine line in the naija industry.

so with a mixtape and 2 videos, u can tel that his stocks are on the rise not falling.
what new can i expct from modenine. the same bs for over 8 years.
sauce kid id a breath of fresh air and i am sure when he comes to nigeria it wont be hard to find him.

8 years you said, mode has 3 mixtapes, 1 album, in two years saucekid has no album but a mixtape with samboribobo being the best of his shot, how many awards did samboribobo have? and how many awards did the video, which is supposed to be the most expensive video, have, infact nominated?

say anything, mode has it, u would say cry is mode9's best shot and yes its worth it, it bagged three awards, say sum,
and slve that equation of 8 years to two, think rite,

Pap:

Sauce Kid by my opinion isn't really as successful as painted.
I haven't heard of any of his shows and those which I saw on youtube were really rather scanty with very few people.
He has a mixtape to his name and 2 songs that i have heard played at the club : Omoge Wa Go and Yebariba.
They just had normal crowd reaction nothing really special.
But these songs were realised last year or two years ago.
Has anyone been to Star Mega Jam and other hot shows and seen Sauce Kid?
I was there at one and saw Modenine when Cry was still hot.

Tell them, plus even why cry was not hot, he did welcome performance for kanye west and T-pain in Star Mega Jamz, and did his thing, is that a glo contract, Sum are just not meant to be born, keep kicking it real my guy

Pap:

Who is Ghetto P?

Ghetto P is one fool who was gun talking in his rhymes while he has neva touched a gun in his life. he is not real

Pap:

Hmmm Saucekid is a nicechick like skingo.

This guy knows Skingo very well. Nicechick is on Africanhiphop.com, skingo is here, with the same saucekid yarns plus one bolajiboak

tosinadeda:

Guy forget sinagapore jare!
Go check the pics on fb,he and terry were lookn hungry! Lol

besides lets analyse it,how much can u get from a country where dey dnt speak in eglish?
Who went 4 d show?
Who is mode9 in singapore,how em wan take pul crowd?
Naija peeps there wnt even go watch him!
forget singapore i dey talk naija shows wey get big pay!

take 9ice 4 example! The guy jst dey tour every!

Now it is forget Singapore! who would go for his shows, how would he pull crowd, when Pharrel went to launch his clothline in Japan, he had shows and he rocked shows, This is a country where English is in their third language status [foreign lang], How did he do it? answer it yourself.

Mode9 and terry are looking hungry, if you are not as big as mode9, it is god for you, but if you are bigger than him, you are become obessed cos that guy is big and not looking hungry, check out terry, he's looking fresh and petite, i don't know you but you ain't better than their average,

Skingo! If Ur name is Salaam, Good for you, it means Peace, My name is Ridwan which means God's Favour, but you know what, am a regular posthad it back 2 back, check your er, Not just a regular poster but a poster who hates how you carry your SAUCEKID attitude around and start yelling OGBA Boys, U and I have had it b4 now, vcheck your older posts,

U just twisted this issue now, Mode9 is not in their leagues as Proverb is not in their leagues in S.A

Thi picture doesn't look Nigerian and for sure it is Singapore,


Come to think of it, Singapore is not as bad as SKINGO thinks it is,

Get your facts right

tosinadeda:

Sum peeps are morons i swear!
All those shows listed arnt they the same glo stuff?
Nonsense that is part of the deal he was paid 4!
when i say shows i mean shows with other naija artistes in them!

U know what! I can see now that you are dumb!!! u said Nigerian artist get paid from shows and album sales, now you said you didn't mean the glo stuff that he was paid for.
Is singapore show the same show?,

Tosin! Try sumthing else and leave this issue. U juz lost this one

skingo:

man intellectuallly inclined shows? u peopl have gone kookoo.
put it like this, if u doing a show, and dbanj, psquare, 9ice aint part of it in naija, it is not a huge show.i live innigeri, stop trying to decive my people.
sauce kid is not modenine level. when sauce kid drop you will come here and list dates till your thumbs hurt. u can't fool anyone, i might not like modenine but i wont make up things just to make him look bad. i only state the facts i know of.

now glo u claim is a local endorsement, ?? then u say fashi that one, na connection. u dumbass

i bet u banky is no saying the same about etisalat, i bet u genevieve is not saying the same bout her soap endorsement.

singapore hiphop.lol singapore is battling with poverty, modenine is not the first thing on their minds. i refuse to be fooled by you

Once again Skingo! I can now see the bitch in you like common saw it in Ice Cube. First, no one is not talking about HUGE SHOWS and don't even expose your bitchness more. I will not continue with you cos you are known for your "incessant bitchness", if there's any meaning to that,

Three reasons i don't want to reply you

No one is talking about HUGE SHOWS,

Go and Check the meaning of "Local" and from that you would know Etisalat, Glo, MTN, Lux  endoresements are local endorsement. Nas, JayZ and others are local artists in The U.S

You don't know anything about Singapore and bilieve most Guys of your age in Singapore are living far better than you. Go and get your fact right about SINGAPORE, and yes Mode9 went to Singapore,

You refused to be fooled by me because mode9 didn't go to singapore but unfortunately YOU ARE A FOOL COS HE ACTUALLY WENT TO SINGAPORE


well, Skingo would always be Skingo, FOOL

4 d guy dt said he hasn't seen mode9 in any show b4. He can choose any place that is close to his place out of this

So! go and kill yourself because mode is rocking shows

tosinadeda:

naija artistes make money from shows!!!!!!
and album sales(some)
how many shows av u gone to and u saw mode9?

u dey shout glo up and down!!!!!

  Well, its your own personal problem if you've not seen Mode9 in any show! the basic reason is because you will never go to "intellectually inclined shows". Forget about GLO advert, that's a local endorsment or connection. Where were you when Mode9 did his thing in Singapore, where will you be when his doin his thing in USA before the end of this year. Am still talking International connections, where were you when mode9 is sponsoring his own flight tickets to S.A. to and fro, 

Do you think all these things na beans? Small time, you'ld be saying he doesn't do shows,  check out his myspace page and see lined out events then you would consider to re-run your mouth.

No money No money No money,  like say na for them papa house mode9 dey chop

Well! It's not really the singing part that really matters but the message! and 2 me it's noot really fallin from Kanye's standard, so it's cool (for his die hard fans)

the Vocoder thing ain't bad! That's what they use to capture people now! and Kanye puts business ahead of his game now, so you can't expect anything straight from the  guy'z heart,

hi

fyneboi:


Eminem is not were near Jay-Z, little Wayne, Snoop Dogg, 50cents, Rakim, T.I and a whole lot more.

Well people are entitled to their opinion.

this list looks kind of random,  lil wayne, 50cent, t.i, this is a whole new generation

Wordsmith:

Canibus dey there, Kweli dey there, Common dey there, Jadakiss dey there, Rakim dey there, ROFL, NaS dey there, them no pick those ones, na Eminem them pick. No b say i no gbadun am, but eminem- best rapper alive ke?

Wordsmith! itsbeen a long time! let me continue the list. papoose dey, R.A The Ruggedman dey,  Sadat X dey, Blackthought dey, The Whole Dilated people dey,  abeg no dey follow me joke again

~Sauron~:

You guys are funny.

How many MCs can stand Eminem lyrically??
He is so good he made Jigga look like a puppy on Blueprint!!!
Eminem is illest. . . . . .Canibus had to step down after a series of beefs(Mind u. . . . .Canibus is a syk rapper on his own).
Who else?? Nas?? He would prolly come next to Eminem. . . .L'il Wayne, 50, Ja Rule or Jadakiss are not even worthy to wear Slimshady's sandals.

This is why i hate to come to This Nairaland Sometimes. Canibus?. How could you say dt! Canibus a.k.a Can't Stop Beefin. Go and listen to "Track 3" of E! True Hollywood Stories and see how Canibus Stepped Down! Funny

Nas would come next to Eminem?
Na Craze world we dey oooooooooooo!!!!!

@wordsmith
do u mean that canibus wil beat eminem in a rap battle? canibus is not even audible, talib kwali is wack !
little wayne is in souljah boi's class .jay-z was a biter swagga jacker, 50 and ja are weak lyrically,jada aint tight wit it
if ur answer is yes then must of u nairalanders don't know hiphop! it is very clear and glaring that eminem is iller than all those rappers even nas! he deserves it 101%

This is absolute nonsense. Canibus isnot audible!, jay-z was a biter swagga jacker, jada aint tyte then pls! who's tyte? Eminem? Ur opinion is sick? not real sick but hospital bed sick.

Ur question is ambiguous. the thread topic says Ruggedman or Mode9? Ur Choice. my choice is Modenine, no long thing,

but, in your words, u said who's better? better in what terms?
moneywise = Ruggedman
Lyrically = Modenine

in my own opinion.

no argument,

@Kaydee
Its been long bruva! U should have known they would not listen.  I stopped talking because i realized half of them don't even listen to these tracks! all they listen to his the "Naija regular phrases" in the songs and start yelling it has "nigerian feel".

They all act like real hiphop headz but the best they've heard in hip hop is Ruggedman. To drop the fact , Modenine is not in my best 20 emcees ever, but what belongs to caesar should be given to him, he's way above rugged lyrically,  i hate it when people deliberately run from the truth.

Let us subtract punchlines, wordplays, mtaphors etc, and pick normal rhymes! Mode is better than my "Naija Crunk" Brother.

They say Mode uses Big words! who are these people talking like this. If u don't understand what he's saying, you write them down for someone more intelligent to deciper them for you.

Sometimes ago, sumone here(i won't mention his name, let him admit it himself), said Modenine's musc is for gang bangers, thugs and all sort of rubbish cos that's what he talks about. Shey Na Yans Be Dat?

The best way to know those who understand hip hop real well is to change the topic to Blackhought Vs. Nas! who's better? some people go run commot.

Bottomline!
If you think Ruggedman is better than modenine, drop any ruggedman's line that is worth looking at!!! if you can't do this, Pls don't ever argue here again!!!!

Forget about "Talking to You" or "Bangin" , av not heard the two but i've been following modenine's music from day 1 to day now, likewise rugged's, what i see is that It's not only in "Talking to You" that modenine has actually pointed lyrics at ruggedman or saucekid or any other rapper, He punches anytime he feels like cos he's a punchline man.

Go and listen to "You", "Going through", "you can't hide" and the rest of the tracks in the "NIGELBEN'S KRAFTWORK" mixtape all produced by KRAFT. Modenine spread their shits on the mixtape & everyone of them is takin his share.

In a track, he dropped this:

", (can't remember), kill your career and watch it die
dont go against me, i don't forgive
when it's on it eat [eat] beef and throw it up where you live" - Going Through

this is what i call Final Warning.

Bottomline!
Ruggedman is not in anyway, anyform, closer to modenine's lyrical ability. And stop talking about money, modenine goes to shows too and get paid, i hate it when people say the guy doesn't have money, has he ever begged for help from you before. He doesn't even beg you buy his mixtapes like some people do (i no mention anybody). Mode9's fans will buy his CDs

@darequam
i appreciate your analysis on good music. I only have to add this:
Rap is a literary form which its anlysis is always on "Content and Form" your content is what you intend to say and your form is how you intend saying it. Form is where punchlines, wordplays, metaphors, come in and that's why they are worth looking at in music.

First question!
Is this the same BADMAN SAMINI of Ghana? IF you are! That hiphopworld awards performance was very nice. Congrats on the award u also got dat nite!

As per the Jailer stuff! As far as the guy who used that same concept does not jeopardize the good concept behind the real "Jailer" by Asha, its "all in the music"

And anywayz, if this is not SAMINI, am sure you are BADMAN!!!!

Well, i got a handbill some days ago about a audio technology school in Lagos. I'v actually misplaced the handbill but i still can locate the area.

Check the Ojota branch of Sweet Sensation, just around that area, you would find the school or try your luck if you can still get the handbill inside that same sweet sensation.

This is how best i can help, I don't know if its valuable enough to help you get what you want,

holla back when you get sumthin about the school,

@ I-Ishine
How you dey my guy, lemme say sumthin, you remembered 3 or 4 years ago we were discussin this ish in my room. i told you the guy is gone for good or bad, i dont care. And i told you i'll remind you during mine or your wedding day. You were saying almost the same words dan4sunfun said. Thank God you've come to biliv the Ish,

But seriously i see Tupac for Computer Village yesterday, he dey UPS.

Good you know, I already told you i don't listen to is sh*t, Since they are mentioning people doing alternative Hip Hop like Font Minor, so i had to mention him too, although Font Minor is Nice anywayz

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Federline - look it up straight

www.kevinfederline.com- maybe you'll like this also

ravenzord:

hey! federline doesn't rap,mike does

Hey! Be sure before you post. I don't even listen to is sh*t cos its not tite to my lyrical taste but all i know is he does RAP.

Its simple, go to his site, google search or the best place Wikipedia. I can even help you wiv dat l8er

R. A. the RuggedMan - Stanley Kubrick, Super

the white guy in "J-Ro" group of 2 - call this love

and if peeps are listing Font Minor, then i'll add Kevin Federline

Brother Ali [he's albino but fo the fun of it, what's the difference?]

@Wordsmith

Simple question. Because he was hungry. Because he's human and not the super bionic, asskissing-loving, mini god, groupie clowns make him out to be

Mr. Gbade, you already said it was a simple question. why is it a must you put eusol in one's injured eye?

and like every other human, he needs to eat,

Thank you so much. This is what i need and i'm happy to get exactly what i want to hear.

simple as nCr = n!/(n-r)! r!, yet as complex as ABC, y'feel me?

The only thing i feel is that you are high!!!!

Waddup!! its been a long time. Heard of Wutang's new album '8 diagrams'? There's a Nas, Wutang Collabo, realy nice.

smaz:

he said he wasnt ever going to go commercial,but i wonder what kind of song NIGERIAN GIRLS and FAKE UP IN THE CLUB of his last album is?, if he wanted to keep his virginity and take rap like a religion(like el-dee opposed),WHY DID HE TAKE THE GLO CONTRACT AND USE HALF-NAKED DANCERS, MODE 9 IS A FAKE-ARSE NIGGER!

Sometimes the best thing you  do when you read posts like this is to shut da f up cos there's nuthin to talk about. Modenine himself said his next album  was goin to be commercial at the end of Spazmodic, PENTIUM IX Mixtape, so what da f are you saying,  "Nigerian Girls" is commercial and still on point like Big Pun's "Get off my D*ck",  etc. "Fake Up in Da Club" is commercial as you say but its reflecting your society,  or maybe the track is a "machete on your neck". Pls. for God sake,  Why did he take the Glo Contract? I can't answer this lame question,  "Half naked Dancers",  Av not seen one,  you should show me,

Eh!!!!! This is so surprising.

People really think like this! I always believe that all those things i read in books about knight templers, free masons, and them occultic scriptures are just literary fallacies. Or is it as a result of these same books that derailed your train of thoughts. May God lead you through the right path and bring you back from the way of those who have gone astray.

This is where we will all realize that if we believe in God, it is so because of God's guidance and not our power.

[/quote]What is happening to Rap music it seems to be bowing to R&B. Most top songs are R&B while most rap music hope for the top 20s. the only thing now that makes rap interesting is the 5ocent and kanye west struggle for the top.[quote]

I believe rap has lost the objectives of the culture that brought it. Ever before, Rap is not a genre of music that makes it to the top list so often. It was only few of the mainstream rappers that made it to the top top shit: People like Nas, Tupac, Biggie, Big Pun etc. These guys who own these Music TV stations: MTVBase, Channel O, Trace, BET,MCM etc, deal with people. They make available polls for peole to vote on the tracks they like to watch, and you know a lot of people, maybe like 60% prefer track where what they want is displayed, at least to some extent what rap can not give them, like the steps from Omarion, The Vocoded or Autotuned voices of Akon and-Pain, Dances and nice collabos from Chris Brown. etc. So rap lost it to R&B. Another thing that helped R&B is its full transition from Being Soul, usually dull music to more danceable R&B. But all in all, Rap is still Rap, and the movement is still moving on, on the underground.

You can use Kanye and 50's battle for supremacy to check the active presence of rap. People went for the real and not the derailed contents, Rap is Alive

@jeremania
you would notice that nobody is replying the SKingo guy, The guy is known for his abusive words which know no boundary. He's just an irritant.

@all
I also dont subscribe to the use of "Naija HipHop" because its just like saying "naija kind of hip hop" which should not be so, HipHOp is not just a genre, It's a culture, so tell me how you can bring i na culture to another culture[naija] without disturbing one culture. my opinions anywayz

This will be my last post on this issue. I just need to tell you some things. When you correct anybody, the aim should purposely be for that person to learn not to make a fool of him/her. You never can tell, you may be correcting your Boss some other time.

Can you justfiy the use of those corrections stating the rules that guide each?

if you care to answer anywayz.

Am out of this Thread.
