you guys are just cracking me up on this thread. people are calling seun king now? REALLY ??Seun the Nairaland king, Seun the sage giving people writing tips so they can win =N=25,000 People scrambling around beaks open waiting for these pearls of knowledge People removing their literary robes and placing them before him so Seun the messiah can walk all over them with his holy feet, and his pearls of wisdom and find a being worthy enough to bestow the =N=25,000 naira sceptre it was cute at first but seriously how far are we going to take this stupidity. |
dude its a work of fiction. i'm sure no one out there believe that there was once a great battle for a place called middle earth where a small being called a hobbit had to take a ring into a fiery mountain to unmake a powerful necromancer called sauron. so y shld u be scared that people would believe this? |
hi tianshie, wow i'm so glad another nairalander has been invited for this. my email is on my profile so u can send me a mail with ur phone number and i'll send u mine. thanks SMC for all the good thoughts and wishes. we'll do our best. please go make up with sisikill in the next thread. ok? we all need to hook up one bright sunny day, all nairaland writers. twill be fun. |
you all make really valid points and i'm not going to classify myself as either for or against. but SISIKILL i think u just have the writers gift of making anything look really credible even without the least bit of objectivity, just cos you know,,,you can. i think SMC has made the most objective sense in all. she got her points spot on , and while sisikill you may be interested and excited about this and use ur good writing t try to convince others it doesnt mean that ur view is the only valid one. (hitler was able to convince his fellow men that gassing the jews was a good idea, with words). yes i know that as writers we get to put ourselves and our ideas out there with the risk of being plagiarised but we get to choose what risks we want to take and if some people are not comfortable with the whole arrangement then by God let them express themselves without u trying to use ur superior writin to make them look silly. cos they are not. like SMC said as a writer this competition doesnt interest me, not because of the paltry sum, and inspite of Seuns reputation, which by the way we know nothing of Se)un other than you being the "successful founder of nairaland" (modestys not your strong point no?) but just cos i think as a writer in nigeria where u need to make it really big to be big its just going to be a distraction with not enough foreseeable dividends. and yeah that guy that said one day someone asks who wrote that story and then BANG, God i loved that, funny as hell , but yeah, not too likely in naija. if we were in jand maybe. really how many naija movies have u asked that question about, maybe "keeping faith" BUT then what did u do about it? NOTHING. ITS ALL ABOUT ODDS. and everyones entitled to pick theirs and what they want to run with. so please let them. it works the other way too. if u not interested just say why but dont go discouraging people who are interested. NOW SISIKILL please this is not a call to battle. ur like a writing sister to me. dont go writing some long essay back at me and then i'd have to come back with a witty response and we'd go back and forth. its tiring. i know you know that we have that south african competition thingy to be writing for in the literary section. that and my two personal projects plus having to read two chimamanda books b4 her conference kicks off, i really dont have the time. please SISIKILL lets work on more worthy projects that can get nigerias name out there. lets leave the local screenplay writing for well, local screenplay writers. not dissing Seuns project nooo, far from it but i think there are too many holes in it to be of any real interest. Seun you really shouldnt use your standing as the "successful founder of nairaland" to get people to throw you a bunch of ideas from which you will , to borrow SMC's words , nick off ideas from several of them to create your classic or your flop. not because you mean to plagiarise, but because its naturally human to do that, to be influenced by what we read and somehow twist it enough that it starts to seem like its a fresh idea, ur idea, but its not. thats why serious writing competitions are organized by serious literary organizations who try to cut down these risks. well goodluck on that and to all, just wanted to add my two bit, hope i didnt offend. |
Hi nairalanders. i was invited for this. any other nairalanders got invited to this? speak up so we can look out for each other there. heres the mail i got. Dear Chukwudi Eboka, Thank you for applying to the creative writing workshop. I very much enjoyed your writing sample; it is one of the twenty-five I've selected from the more than five hundred entries I read. The workshop, in Victoria Island, Lagos, will start on August 19 and end on August 29. It will be informal and focused on reading, writing and discussing the work produced by participants. Please let me know, by responding to this e-mail, whether you will be able to attend on each of the ten days, from 11 AM until 5 PM. (Fidelity Bank might be able to offer accommodation to participants who live outside Lagos.) With my best wishes, Chimamanda Adichie this ought to be fun |
apart from the hiding under religion to promote unmentionable acts thingy, what fed university can you not say the rest of all what you guys said about? they all like that. i helped a sibling thru madonna uni and she came home with assignments and work term papers that were well advanced that any i was given in uniben. every uni has someetin wrong with it but i can assure u people are being taught even in the worst unis wake up and smell the roast plantain, we in naija, wherever u see urself, xtract the best from it n leave the rest. and avoid going around making slanderous statements. thats what makes men and keeps you boys |
justkunmi, they sound orchestral because they're much more gothic than what we normally used to. evanescence was really given us watered down gothic rock , more of mainstream with little gothic influences. within temptation is really more gothic like bands like lacuna coil, sirenia, you should listen to sirenias track, in my minds eyes, you would absolutely love it. anyway you love what have you done now because its more evanescenesy because this album was ttheir first to be released in the USA and so they felt they needed to give something to the more mainstream fans so they included that track . even though thats not their style it shows just how good and versatile they are. dont use youtube as the audio quality you'd find aint really doing them justice. if u have limewire look for tracks like Deceiver of fools, its the fear, see who i am, jillian. those are their core signature hard songs for slows or ballads look for songs like overcome, bittersweet, all i need , forgiven, frozen. GOD I LOVE THIS BAND I CANT GET ENOUGH. back to mainstream rock does anyone like TOKIO HOTEL. i love their monsoon track and ready set go, excellent music. who knew the japs could rock? |
someone kill me now because i have just discovered the ultimate in singing delights. if the angels in heaven sing even a fraction of how this girl sings then we're in for a blast. that’s those of us who actually make it and for those that don’t , well at least you’d have experienced a little slice of heaven here on earth. Every once in awhile they comes along a rock band that changes everything you felt about rock music. That raises the bar a notch or two higher and displaces with ease your current rock idol and leaves you thinking, is that even possible? I met my best friend when I was in the university of benin and to make ends meet, no that’s not true, our ends met just fine, but to provide the extra income for our nocturnal lifestyle we got into downloading albums for the budding rock community at uniben. We'd both fallen in love with rock music from the early ages of the cranberries, and we’d drive around school, the enchanting lyrics of zombie blaring out of his fathers vw golf speakers anytime we manage to steal it into school. We were the cool weird guys who loved demon music. At the time Dolores O Riordan the female vocalist for the Cranberries was our rock god. Nothing could compare with her powerful lyrics and a divine voice that could easily send a T1000 to sleep. Come with me if you want to live. There was no way to select the best of, every song on every album was in itself a classic so we just carried the five albums and stars in mp3 format on a datalife cd everywhere we went. In hip swagger language the cranberries were the ish. Period. Until we were coming home from reading 1am one Friday night, nah must have been Thursday night for we did anything but read Friday nights. Anyways we chatting loudly, strolling down from uniben basement after more hours of chasing jambites than actually reading, discussing loudly our current loves, our hearts intent on d bread, suya and cold coke we'd be getting at the pharmacy exit from school when we heard it. The haunting beginning notes of the song we’d later get to know as 'bring me to life'. It was like a dream, Here we were laughing and talking loudly in the middle of the night and at the same exact moment we both fall quiet as we hit the brick wall of excellently produced gothic sound. It was heaven. Even before the bass guitars kicked in we knew that this was the one group that could displace the cranberries. We looked around trying to trace the origin of the sounds and we see two guys huddled around the boot of their open car six cd loader blinking active, an empty cd case in one of the guys hands and sonys xplode belting out “wake me up inside”. We walked up to the guys and stood right beside them peering into their boot, lost in a trance. They looked up at us. Saw the expressions on our faces and knew why we were there. It was love at first auditory experience. These guys didnt know us from adam, eve or the apple but there we stood ,four guys in the moonlight, 'rock heads brought together, friendships forged from the purity of sound'. That was how we got introduced to the musical marvel that is evanescence. Turns out the one of guys brother had just gotten in from the US and had brought him a bunch of rocks cds which they were trying out. We didn’t let them out of our sights. We drove out of school at 3am every minute spent in that car making us more and more inextricably addicted to the rich gothic sound of evanescence. We got to our room off campus, booted up my agonizingly slow Pentium 2 clone, burnt the cd at an agonizingly slow 2x and bid these poor unfortunate souls goodnight. From that point onwards we lived and breathed evanescence. We tracked down origin their previously unknown album, noticed a lot of song repetition from the fallen album or the other way round and loved it all the same. The cranberries datalife cd was lovingly retired to our archive with the rest of the rock cds, it was the time of Amy lee and she wasn’t evanescing anywhere. For two years we rocked evanescence in all forms of media, songs , videos , printed out lyrics , insignia on all our notebooks, posters, t shirts, the work. For two years we walked and drove around school still in the trance from the first night, high off the opiate that was evanescence. We followed their progress ardently, mourning the loss of Ben Moody, not so much the exit of the other two band members and we were beside ourselves with joy when they announced the release of The Open Door. We had it pre-ordered thanks to a ten percent credit card payment shark and were practically foaming at mouth when we finally got it. Album was great, not as great as fallen but it was Amy lee, she could read out her shopping list and it’d still sound good. Cut to one year later, I’m working now and he's serving in Warri but I still rely on him to keep me updated on who’s hot and who’s not in the rock music scene. Bands come and go, linkin park, 3 doors down , staind….we love staind…. and they’re all good , but nothing compares to the high we get off the dark haunting and enchanting lyrics and grating guitar riffs of evanescence. And then he comes to visit me mid term at the school he's teaching and he brings his pack of data cds and dumps a whole shitload of albums on my almost empty 160gig hp dv6536, many he hasn’t even listened to , the magic that is torrent downloads and hi speed wireless internet access. He says to me 'i googled. Some of its hot, most of its not' and then we proceeded to spend the entire weekend of his stay watching the entire four seasons of Boston Legal back to back. Denny Crane!!!! I go about for almost two months after his visit, a poor ignorant soul unaware of the pearls sitting on my desktop, like those Texas farmers who’ve been toiling hard all their life and a few seconds to their deaths oil is discovered less than a mile under their feet. And then two weeks ago, I come home after work and decided to put in two hours into editing this novel for my cousin at the University of Newcastle whose studying creative writing. I need mood music right? So I go to my music folder, Enya five albums, Loreena Mckennit 2 albums, Yanni like seven albums, Kitaro ok, Enigma ok, Sarah MacLachlan, Cranberries, Evanescence yes, all great artistes to inspire but God I’m tired of listening to the same old songs over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over …ok you get it……again. So I close the folder and something jumps out at me. it’s a folder among the clutter on my desktop “rcok albumz dump”. Just like that, “wrong” spellings and all. Two clicks later I’m looking at a lot of album art, there are 40 albums sitting on my desktop, each a promise of something new, forty virgins just waiting to get bleeped. SIA, RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS, DAUGHTRY, GIRLS ALOUD, EYES OPEN, GYM CLASS HEROES, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE , PANIC AT THE DISCO, RADIOHEAD….the list is endless. And then one name strikes me. “THE HEART OF EVERYTHING”. As in truly I fell in love with the name at first sight. It sounded so original, so creative, four simple words put together to create a phrase with infinite depth. Of all the albums in that folder it alone had a single label. The rest had name of artist-name of album but this folder was just those four words. I had no way of knowing if it was name of the album or name of artist. Open folder, CTRL A, RIGHT CLICK, PLAY ALL and hello……, where have you guys been all my life? I should just end this article here because there are no words in my vast vocabulary that can do justice to describe the purity of the sounds that came out of the altec lansing speakers of my pavilion. No words to explain the goosebumps on my arm, the tingling of my spine, the swelling of my head and the dots dancing around my eyes. Oh my!!! God hath sent us an angel. Seriously u need to hear it to believe it. It was nothing short of divine. I was in shock. I’d loved The Cranberries, been crazy about evanescence, but this, this was impossible. Nothing mattered in life anymore. Amongst all the ugliness in the world. The wars the diseases the starvation, if something like this existed then it was all good. I was enthralled. I couldn’t look away from my screen even though all i could see were the jumping spikes of the windows media player visualization as the riffing guitars tore seamlessly and beautifully through the haunting lyrics of the angels voice. My steaming plate of rice my sister had brought for me just minutes before forgotten by my side, I had been jolted out of my eveanescence induced trance and thrown right back into another. I was in that trance for the next 83 minutes, the full length to the last note of the album and then I started to cry. Metaphorically. Straight to Google. Typed in The Heart of Everything and there they were. A five man band and the angels name is Sharon Den Adel, and together they were known as Within Temptation and they had three previous albums. Straight to limewire, i needed to find more from this band and i discovered even greater pearls in their past works. Great ballads and awesome epics, this band is simply awesome. On the Heart of Everything the thumping beats and guitar riffs of the harder tracks like the howling, what have you done now , the cross to the haunting and tear jerking ballads like frozen a song about domestic violence, all i need and forgiven all make for excellent nonstop listening. From their older albums please please look for songs like it’s the fear, deceiver of fools, jillian, bittersweet, see who I am, stand my ground, angels, memories. Several comparisons have been made to evanescence alluding that WT are an evanescence wannabe but bear in mind that this band has been around way longer than evanescence or rather as one blogger put it “Amy lee and her rotating cast of extras”. I never thot I’d live to see the day that- I’d say this but Sharon Den Adel completely floors Amy Lee. If u like gothic symphonic rock like evanescence, nightwish, lacuna coil, amaranth, you’ll definitely thank me for this. And if you a skeptic, this is definitely the band that will get you addicted to this genre. It saddens me to have discovered this group. It was like watching the lord of the rings trilogy. You know that its very possible that you'll never again experience the feeling you felt when you watched it. Possible there would never be a movie as epic and cinematic as it. That u had just maybe witnessed the peak of cinematic perfection. And so i feel saddened that in my natural life i might never come across a band so pure and melodic and in the same vein intensely dark and richly gothic. So please kill me now for i have discovered the ultimate in singing delights. There’s nothing else to live for. |

@ ~Pandora~ "you don't seem to know much about your rock bands?" don't you consider that statement a little rude? you did not just call me out on categories of rock. don't even go there. the title of the thread says Coldplay is the best band ever. there was no classification in his statement so why shld i be bothered because ur trying to find a niche as small as possible so you can crown coldplay king? when we compare genres we compare across board we don't compare sub genres. real humans don't do that. and even if you do thats you, i'll compare whoever the hell i want, as long as i have all those artistes together on one cd which i call a rock cd i'll bloody well compare them if i want to. everybody knows the different perceived categories of rock, we just here trying to have fun deciding who the ultimate rock band is regardless of genre so please join the fun or go elsewhere and pat yourself on the back for knowing the different categories of rock. imagine the grammys if you were president. and the categories are for best irish alternative rock for best nu metal rock for best gothic rock Acid punk Acid rock Action rock Afro-punk Alternative metal Alternative rock Anatolian rock Arena rock Artcore Art rock Avant-garde metal Avant-rock Avant-progressive rock Baroque pop Beat Bisrock Black metal Blackened death metal Blues-rock Brazilian rock British Invasion Britpop Bubblegum pop Boogaloo C86 Canterbury sound Cello rock Celtic metal Celtic punk Celtic rock Chicano rock Chimp rock Christcore Christian rock Christian metal Classic rock Classic metal Cock rock Coldwave (France) Coldwave (USA) Comedy rock Compressive Rock Country rock Cowpunk Cuddlecore Dance-punk Dance-rock Dark cabaret Dark metal Darkwave Deathcore Deathgrind Death metal Death rock Detroit rock Doom metal Dream Pop Electro Punk Electronic rock Emo Experimental rock Fastcore Folkcore Folk-rock Folk metal Freakbeat Funkcore Funk rock Funk metal Gamecore Garage rock German rock Ghetto Rock Glam metal Glam rock Goregrind Gothabilly Gothic metal Gothic rock Grindcore Groove metal Group Sounds Grunge Grunge metal Hatecore Hard rock Hardcore punk Heartland rock Heavy metal Horror punk Indie pop Indie rock Industrial rock Industrial metal Instrumental rock Iranian rock Japanese rock J-ska Jam rock Jangle pop Kaizerrock Krautrock Latin rock Lovers rock Manila sound Mathcore Math rock Melodic black metal Melodic death metal Metalcore Mod Moshcore Mesh Neo-classical metal Neo-folk Neo-prog Neo-psychedelia New wave NWOBHM Noise pop Noise rock No wave Nu metal Oi!

this is my last bit on this matter. whether we all like it or not in the literary arts be it art , poetry , prose , sculpture whatever we all leave ourselves open to criticism . negative or positive and artists know when and where to expect them. when an artist goes to the literary section and requests for a critique, she does so becos she believes she is among people of like minds who whether we like it or not know that criticism is only allowed if it constructive becos anything other than that is just hot air, and thats the truth. i'm not trying to censor anyone or force anyone to give reasons for his comments and maybe i was a bit harsh in trying to prove my point but if your an artist of any kind with the slightest bit of creative talent you would understand that a flat out "i thought it was whack" just doesnt cut it. THATS THE LITERARY WORLD, THATS THE WAY IT GOES. when a new movie is shown to the critics from different newspapers or an artists latest painting or an authors latest work , it is usually shown to a select few and each representing body sends out their critic and they go see this work. the next day or wheneve r they give their reviews and these can either make or break the artist. but these reviews are usually well thought through and very opinionated but they are never bland dismissive statements like i thought it was whack. the only place where ur likely to see that is when its shown to the public and an opinion poll is taken. so please people forgive me for thinking that wildbubble came to us as peers, as people of similar creative abilities when it actual fact all she wanted was the discontented ramblings of an uninformed public. CH3COO i dont know you neither do you know me. lets forget the literary world, in a civilized society your comments were dismissive, distasteful, outrightly nasty and rude. it simply was not a nice thing to say. your entitled to your opinion but you shld remember that words are very powerful things and the wrong ones do a lot of damage. i have no beef with you and i'm sorry for calling you names, it was all for a good cause. True Brit if you cant see that all i did here in the long run was for the colective good of all then i have nothing to say to you. wildbuble please dont be mad at this thread becos whether u know it or not we have achieved a victory here today. i can assure you that never again in this literary sections willl a dismissive aatitude be used on any creative person here , except the person just deliberately wants to be a pig head. i apologize to the literary section for causing these wrangling, it was not my intention , i have a great love for the arts especially literature and i apologize for any disrespect i have shown it. i'm out |
wildbuble keep doing your thing, dont ever ever let anyone put you down. only accept criticsim as long as its constructively and tastefully done. you dont have to take b u l l s h it in the name of criticism. like they say opinions are like aresohles, everyones got em |
OH please, its like you jsut clicked on my name and copied from my previous psotings cos anyone whose been here long enough knows that that has been my pay off, only the intellectually challenged sling insults. i'm doing it on purpose, i'm egging him on becos saying someone is a btich and a dumb Bleep is less painful than belittling his/her talent and calling it whack. theres something called constructive criticism and theres something called an outright stupid statement. you say we should ignore it. had mandela and martin luther king and al sharpton and the rest of the fighters we have out there been the type who would sit back and accept all that was wrong in the world, then God save us, its never ever ever acceptable to write something or someone off as whack someone has come to the "literary section" and written one of us off as whack and i'm doing the loyal thing of defending her but your solution is to ignore me. what a joke. but then its a huge joke that after reading my posts on this topic and probably reading my other posts site-wide and probably visiting my blog you can label me as having "limited powers of articulation" what a joke!! |
Case closed. i set out to prove a point, that criticism is easy when its being given but how many of us can take it? i havent met wildbuble but i've seen her posts and i know that this is one girl who is crazy , passionate even about writing and such a spirit shld be nurtured, not shot down especially not at the early stages where shes trying to gain her confidence as a writer, but then only a writer could understand that and you obviously not one, being able to hold a sentence or two doesn't count. , criticism is allowed, but not stupid blatant shoot downs. you couldnt even stand two seconds of my criticising you but it was so easy to type out "i think its whack" don't serve up what you can't eat to every man and his own, i didnt even read your rant, your of strictly no consequence to me, btich go jump off a bridge. P.s you cant go to nasa and say the last spaceship was whack becos it only exploded becos a piece of scaffolding struck the hull of the ship which chipped off a piece of insulation foam on the ship making it unable to stand the heat of re-entry. it was a freak incident, nothing in itself was wrong with the ship. but then again i dont expect you to know that, you're the dumb Bleep tht needs everything explained |
I know idiots like you who think they're cocky and funny yet dont have one bit of creative juice in them. you could have said "i dont think its good, you need to work on so so so" not a flat out i think its whack. it is a great "poem" /piece of literary work with the nice comic twist at the end . you are a dumb Bleep that needs art explained to you she doesnt welcome our thoughts , our means people like her. i cant go to nasa and say their last rocket was whack because i havent the slightest idea how to build one. same applies here. you cant comment on what you dont understand hence your opinions are seriously not welcome |
its cool. the guy saying its whack is just one of those dumb fcuks who need art explained to them |
in one line you can tell how intelligent a person is. well done Stag, i couldnt have put it better |
Trae he WANTED to fire Bekeme. thats all i can conclude from seeing how lightly he let nancy off , i mean seriously. you could see him struggling at conjuring some half assed excuses to fire bekeme. hes a poor leader if he keeps firing project managers because its fast becoming a trend. leaders are advised, nancy gave wrong advice with her "experience" and ought to be fired |
mail me your details share offer, units , price and year and i'll see what i can do |
Seun is a poor moderator of this site. i dont care if he bans me for saying this. Skingo has crossed the line so many times , so many f u c k i n g times and he has done nothing about it. all SKINGO does is sling insults at everybody who doesnt agree with his stupid ideas. fine we insult each other all the time but we do it in a polished manner and we are joking half the time but skingo is so full of spite and is so uncouth. imagine calling someones father a bastard in public. n i g g a come on. skingo should be banned already. Seun take a trip to africanhiphop and see how these sauce kid fans turned it to a free for all. the site was dying cos people were pissed off and not contributing anymore. nicechick was banned indefinitely and she didnt even do half of what skingo has done. SEUN people can only hide under free speech for so long. use common sense. this guy has crossed the line one time too many. PERIOD |
apmis a leader doesnt and shouldnt slander members of his team. if theres no genuine reason to call someone out as the weakest link so she should turn around and start slandering? just doesnt make sense to me bro, i just started following apprentice africa , who is omar? is it the guy with the funny american accent and the three leadership skills ?that guys just a poor loser, i could tell even with all the editing that goes on on the show that during the task he was a very poor leader. delegating everything and not doing anything, he might as well have delegated someone to represent him in the boardroom but he was too hung up on his belief in his oratory skills that he failed to realize that you might speak great, but wen u talking shit that just all it is, bull shit. him and his three rules, imagine the nerve on the guy, even in the boardroom he was still forming leader, this one , that one , and whats the third one ladies ? coheesiveness, in the words of great paulie in Sopranos, sunofabeetch a leader realizes his errors, even till the end he didnt admit his error , blaming it on his f u c k i n g perfume- fine it was a figure of speech but what tha f , i was so glad when i heard the words You're, whats the other one guys ? thats right, FIRED |
for firing the young lady he fired in last nights episode mr shobanjo showed excessive levels of diminished mental reasoning. it was an advertorial task. any media person worth his salt knows that adverts have a 50-50 chance to swing either way. both adverts were great but one had to be picked. The losing team---- the concept was great, the copy was semi-great but the person in charge reinforced that she called the attention of the project leader. the project leader had the integrity to accept the responsibility for the omission but he fires her anyway, why? because he asked her who was the weakest link in her team and mr shobanjo had a temporary brainwave that prevented him from understanding her reply, thinking she was too chicken to give up her fellow teammates when in actual fact she said "i take responsibility for the decisions that made us omit a key message in the copy". please someone tell me if this retard is 7 years old that he cant interpret that to mean that she just said she was the weakest link? did she have to spell it out to him that "mr shobanjo i am the weakest link for him to understand that." two members of the teams were absent which in itself already was an unfair boardroom trial. the losing team had three people in the boardroom, the person in charge of the brilliant concept-----absolved the girl in charge of research who called the attention of the team leader to the omission--absolved the team leader---hard working and brimming with integrity--- it was a task well done, everyone worked hard and the leader knew and said as much Mr shobanjo fired her because he thought she was too scared to sling mud at her teammates, what the twit didnt realize was that they was just no mud to sling PERIOD!!!!! that coupled with the fact that two people were absent due to some mysterious illness and dudes------it was a perfect episode to NOT FIRE ANYONE, that was the best leadership decision there, donald trump did it, you never ever ever punish genuine and sincere integrity , but i guess mr shobanjo "the boss" takes orders from those PHB guys to fire one person a week else he'll be the one being told you're fired. |

Being arguably one of modenines biggest fans on these forums AHH and Nairaland its been really odd that i havent even met the big guy physically, save for shows with about a thousand people between me and the stage but this sunday past i finally met the ninestein. it was for like five minutes but it was great. Here i was walking into the galleria on a date with this chick who was yet to show up by the way, (chicks and their the guy has to wait policy) so i'm strolling into Nu metro to browse the Nigerian novel section and pick out a spot where my book should be sometime in the future, i have my Headphones on, hooked up to my Htc Tytn and i'm bumping "i'm not like you" from the E plurubus unum album and walking straight by the nigerian movies section just at the entrance and i hear this nasally, gravelly heavily accentuated voice saying "that song is sick man, i don't know why i love that track so much" and i'm like dude seriously this guy sounds like modey and i look up and in two seconds i find myself face to face with modenizzy himself. Even though i'd never played this scene out in my mind before but i'd once had an argument with my family about what movie star or celebrity would make em go gaga, my answer was just two eminem and modenine but i swore i wouldnt be all gushy and star struck the way most people are. Well here i am standing in front of someone i've spent a lot of my free time hyping on all these forums and it was just soo unreal. i break into a smile and like we were old friends he smiles back at me and everything else just flowed natural. i stretch out my right hand and he shakes me, a nice firm handshake with an "eh wats up chief or chairman" not sure which , everything was moving in rapid slow motion. he definitely knew i recognized him but for added effect i pull out the usb jack of my headphones and he cocks his head with a "whats that?" straining to listen to the music over rooftop mcs blasting in the background. when he finally catches on he breaks into this huge grin and says "yeah yeah that was back in the days before this rooftop mcs started copping my style , stealing my flows, you know they've been begging me that they want to hangout with me you know, teach them some stuff but they actually good , thats them playing on the set" and thats when i realize that yeah they were other people around him, in galleria, in victoria island, in lagos and on planet earth, thats how lost i was. he was in company of the rooftop mcs about four guys standing around him but who gives a shit? i was talking to modenine. determined not to be a bumbling fan i resisted the urge to ask him for a pic so i say yeah sure i thought they were great, its been great meeting you, i love your music i'm a huge fan and i think i'll be one my way now. so we shake again and as i walk away with my pride intact he says over his shoulder "hey you should cop their album, its over here" i holla back a yeah sure will do and walk away into obscurity putting my headphones back on thinking how wrong modenine was as it gets to the part in "i'm not like you" where he says "my number one fan is going to be a girl." Last i checked i still had a big one hanging low between my legs. |
HELLO BRAUNEYES OR layifioren PLEASE I'M ABOUT TO PAY FOR THIS CAR AND I CAME ACROSS THIS POST. HELP ME CHECK THIS VIN 1HGCD5631VA119808 |
the infamous Gbade.x re surfaces and as usual you read my post out of context. dont you read, didnt you see i quoted a line from your previous post. mine was a direct reply to your bullshit about how every rappers aim should be to reach everyone . the point wasnt any high brow area shit that you read, my point was that not everyone aspires to reach everyone. its called target audience or demograph. but its you gbade x. i thot it was someone else that i could help see the light but i aint posting on this thread anymore, cos your a lost cause |
@ wordsmith "Try as you may to deny this, the objective of any rapper/mc is to reach as many people as possible music-wise and commercially, starting with the grassroot." how the f u c k anyone can open their mouths and spew nonsense like that is beyond my imagination. and i'm a writer. take a trip to all the highclass malls in town and you get to see swatch stands in every single one of them. thats their objective. then ask yourself this. where the f u c k do they sell rolexes in lagos? how many LG centres have you seen around and how f u c k i n g large are they? take a trip to v/island and see the tiny corner office that houses bang and olufsen. its beta to keep silent and have people ponder about your stupidity than to speak and get it confirmed |
ritchboi oh you do not want to start an argument about spewing crap on tracks else we might just have to show u guys how wack rugged man truly is, dont tempt me |
