Hip Hop is dead kinda...

Critics on Local Rapper and Nigerian Hip Hop Sound

The Nigerian music industry has been somewhat boring all this years and there’s been nothing worth talking about which involves the quality of music we do until recently. There’s a debate growing among music fans in Nigeria now, following the release of Reminisce “Local Rapper”. A track where he featured other indigenous rappers in Olamide and Phyno. And they all but declared themselves dominant in the rap scene in Nigeria. Totally rubbishing the need for three fundamental elements which makes up a good rap song, which are ‘Wordplay’s, ‘Punchlines’ and ‘Talking Ill’.

Where did rap or good music go to?

If it’s all about the money, maybe we can argue that they are probably right. ever since the emergence of Olamide and Phyno, it’s almost been a roller coaster ride for them, getting all sorts of endorsements and performing in shows home and abroad. Every time the argument of merging Success with Hip Hop comes up, people are quick to mention Mode 9, Labeling him as the guy who can spit all the rhymes in the world but have nothing to show for it financially.

This sometimes affects the mind of a young rapper or an upcoming musician contemplating whether to stick to a style which will make him/her world-famous like Asa, Tu Face, a style which presents a better and bigger opportunity to roll with Legends like Jay-z, The Marley’s as we saw with Ice Prince and Tu Face respectively or to limit yourself to a style where you are easily accepted by your locality and it all but ends there except going abroad to perform to Nigerians there.

Some rappers have spoken against such ideology about local rap or local music taking over and the best reply so far is that of fast rising rapper Rage Millz who dropped a single titled Vocal Rapper in response to Reminisce Local Rapper. Download Here: http://popularitybar.net/music-rage-millz-ragemillz-vocal-rapper-local-rapper-reply/

He highlighted the need for good music saying, it’s better to do a song people listen to a thousand times than to do a thousand songs people listen to just once.

From Mode 9’s “Cry” to Tuface “African Queen” to Style Plus “Run Away”, to Dare’s “Not the girl”and many other good songs over the years. Nigerians have shown that if they hear good music, they will embrace it. Rappers like M.I and Ice Prince have also shown that you don’t have to go all indigenous to be successful as rapper in this part of the world.

While many people will agree with Reminisce, Olamide and Phyno. There’s still a fraction who disagrees. But there must be a reason why Reminisce will feel local rap has taken over. His bank account since he switched to local rap is probably what drove him to stake such claims.

Who is to blame? The Fans?



What do the fans really want?

Vocal Rap as Rage Millz would call it or Local Rap as Reminisce would have it?

What is Local Rap or Local Music? I suppose this is the everyday song we hear with very little or no message, no constructive lyrics needed, just a bunch of weak freestyles and a repetition of same thing over and over again. A good producer does the majority of the job and all an artist have to do is hide behind beat, get a melodious chorus and just say anything that comes to your head, regardless of what sense it makes. just like Skales second verse in “Shake Body”.

What is Vocal Rap or Vocal Music? This is what we consider as good music, those kind of songs we hear from ASA, TUFACE and some very intelligent rappers. Even DA-GRIN was intelligent and had crazy word-play. you can listen to his freestyle on jimmy jump off to understand that. A Vocal music is that kind of song that can be presented to the world at large and can be related with regardless of which language you speak.

NASA has confirmed that the Earth will experience 6 days of almost complete darkness and will happen from the dates Tuesday the 16 – Monday the 22 in December. The world will remain, during these three days, without sunlight due to a solar storm, which will cause dust and space debris to become plentiful and thus, block 90% sunlight.

This is the head of NASA Charles Bolden who made the announcement and asked everyone to remain calm. This will be the product of a solar storm, the largest in the last 250 years for a period of 216 hours total. Reporters interviewed a few people to hear what they had to say about the situation with Michael Hearns responding “We gonna be purgin my n*gga, six days of darkness means six days of turnin up fam”.
