@dbr, since you know how GODS work, can you now intelligently advise pls.
thank you.

Do i sense sacarsm in ur remark/question, or im wrong?
Dunno if u r one of those who has been mud slingin in here. .and really it dont bother me.
Maybe if u ask a genuine question i may attempt to answer. . .
As per u sayin i kno how GODS works, .dunno bout that. Which of the GOD[b]S[/b]??

@ tpiah
All im sayin is that previous failure to clinch success is not enuff to say success is not possible.
Im sayin this not just bout presidency but in any life's pursuits.
Plus, God or not. previous failure, shudnt deter any serious minded person from pursuin' goals.

And if Chris doesnt ever win d presidency that doesnt mean God didnt tell him either.
Most pple are not just well informed about how the things of God works.
Ignorance is our biggest problem in this country and that is so evident by the unintelligent
garbage most pple are spewing on this thread.
Callin him names, a liar, a persistent failure and the likes is a proof of the level of intellectual bankrupcy of
those pple throwin abusive tantrums.

Some put there money and passion into destructive enterprises and still succeed.
How much more  salvaging a nation that most pple agrees needs help.
There's nothin like sayin: i gave it my best shot, irrespective of the result.

It's amazin we dont appreciate our own, or learn from history.

A little story:
When Thomas Edison was interviewed by a young reporter who boldly asked Mr. Edison if he felt like a failure and if he thought he should just give up by now. Perplexed, Edison replied, "Young man, why would I feel like a failure? And why would I ever give up? I now know definitively over 9,000 ways that an electric light bulb will not work. Success is almost in my grasp." And shortly after that, and over 10,000 attempts, Edison invented the light bulb.

Many of us wuldda called him unserious, comin relief, failure, joker after the 2nd time he tried.

We advice pple neva to give up, to keep on keepin on still we can accept Chris who is relentless in the pursuit of his aspiration?.
So lets remind ourselves again:

Lincoln Lost his job, was defeated in run for Illinois State Legislature, failed in business.lost his Sweetheart
Had nervous breakdown,was defeated in run for Illinois House Speaker, Defeated again in run for nomination for U.S. Congress
Rejected for land officer position, Defeated in run for U.S. Senate, Defeated in run for nomination for Vice President
Again defeated in run for U.S. Senate
BUT finally Elected President!!

U only fund what u believe, u only put ur time and energy in a conviction. Chris believes, and he proves it by his pursuit.
Even IF he fails, he wuld say he gave it his best.

How many of u passed your JAMB or TOEFL exam d 1st time, or VISA interview, , dudes, how many of u got your girl to say YES after the 1st contact, and ladies how many of u birth your babyafter just a single push

Not Sade(livin and practising in d west) or K'annan(canadian/livin in d west).

I knew you had an agenda [/b]the moment you uttered your balderdash saying niggaz are dickriding Da Grin because he died.
The motives of Mode-9 fans are predictable. Y'all cannot see beyond Mode-9 as the best rapper in Nigeria - I dunno where that notion came from.
So to put things in perspective, i quickly made it known Da Grin had a better flow than Mode-9.
[b]It's ma opinion, you don't have to kill your parents for an honest opinion like mine.

Yes your honest-self-delusional opinion is urs,
LOL~~so u just assumed, nice, u see how dumb u are??
So any opinion contrary to urs is cos there's M9 agenda? u r a buffoon, honestly.
because your parents commited suicide cos of d shame of producin a cretinous anthropoid like u wont make us murder ours for revealin
how daft u are. The only thing u quickly put into full glare is that u r a nitwit runnin reckless witout a rein.
Im sure when u go to pass feces it's your head u stick in the toilet, u sh.[i]i[/i]t head.
Learn this, when there's nothin tangible to hold on to, when it's just an opinnion simply say :

i think Dagrin has the baddest flow. or Dagrin has ONE OF the best flow`~

u dont come on a thread and start vomitin thrash from your constipated bowel and call it FACT.

And we keep asking you to tell us who is the king of flow if you think Da Grin isn't.
I said Da Grin is and quite a few number of people have agreed to what i said. . . . Mention yours and letz see how retarded you have grown in the last few hours.

Proto, M.i, SauceKid, iceberg,TTRapman, D'grin,  M9, Iceprice,Ruggedman, Naeto are dudes i luv they flow.
i do not enjoy Grin's flow more than theirs. So King?, i dont kno if any exist as per flow, tho i may prefer Proto.

Jeeeez, get a LIFE, get a DOG.

You probably won't agree with any of those three points I raised, but it's aiite . . . we already agreed on some things.

Im startin wit this ur quote  for a reason, one it shows u'v not been payin attntion to all i'v been sayin, u r so quick to wanna prove a point where none exist, i'l make ma response simpler, i promise.

It's obvious that we'll never agree on this thread, it's becoming a trend  
But to start mixing the facts I used to support my points is not sumn I'll condone.

Yea, cos some of u think u kno all and must have the last say. the thing is e'rbody readin knows e'rbody's attitude to discussion in here.

1. Yoruba's word-bank is limited . . . you're yet to prove otherwise.

I neva disputed that, have i?
Ma point is U dont need a large english linguistic compendium to be artistic . Of all he hundred of thousands of words english  words may have, how many do they use?
Some of d rappers aint even educated enuff to know them, and they improvise, and coem up wit ebonics and slang.

2. His influences are American . . .  I used Chimamanda as an example, she only started learning how to use Nigerian themes and imagery after Chinua Achebe. I don't care if you're married to her, she said she thought it was 'impossible' before she started studying Nigerian writers.

So because she THOUGHT it was impossible =one is constricted when writing or rappin in local lingua??
Doesnt the fact that chinua did it witout complain mean anythin Really i dont get u.

3. Dagrin is one of the founding fathers of Yoruba hiphop . . . he doesn't have to be the first or the second or third . . . but when hiphop culture goes obsolete and you are told to talk about the people that started it, Dagrin is one of them.

I see how u and that other dude slyly change base. And u do it all the time. U get away wit it when u discussin wit others, but i see it all.
Earlier it was:
He started it, he's the founder, He had NOBODY to learn from, bla bla bla, now he's ONE OF the founders, clap for urself ooo, u hear. Dyu kno how d phrase ONE OF changes the coloration of this discourse?

This is my stand:
1-Dagrin is a beast on the mic, his flow is tite, he's not contricted cos he rap mostly in yoruba.
2-He mixed his language, hence he even had a bigger pool of words to choose from.so i dont see limitation or constriction like u sayin he had.
Im tempted to say that makes it easier, cos if the word no rhyme for yoruba, u fit find oyibo word take arrange am.
3-Rappin in Yoruba~~, infact rappin in any lingua is NOT more difficult than in english if u understand the language.
Dyu think our grannies that speak more of our local dialect feel constrained by the language?
I think not

I am sure you had dropped out of high school before oral English classes were introduced in your village school.

It's not bad to have an opinion, I don't know who's the best, but Dagrin has a 33% chance of taking the spot in my opinion.

yea true, its not, and thats the difference, his cannot be called an opinion just he's just a daft idiot.

Yeah, he's more comfortable with Yoruba, but the problem here is that the word-bank is probably not up to a quarter of that of English.
Just because I decide to use sunflower oil to make beans and I get really good at it doesn't mean I not still at a disadvantage compared to you that uses palm oil.

it's not bout comparison, yes english has larger volume of words it's bout wat is needed!
And pls ur sun flower/palm oil example is errrrrrrrrrwwww,
C,mon. some make their stew wit palm oil, some prefer gnut oil. who is contrained??
As long as wat i have can deliver wat i wanna deliver shud there be any issue
Of wat use is a million english words if i dont kno them?
The bottom line is dgrin aaint disadvantaged cos he mixed yoruba wit english, if anythin
he has larger pool to draw from.

Yeah, he does borrow from English . . . it's called improvising man, not toggling. There's still a limit to how far you can go trying to rhyme 'gbadura' with 'Yar'adua'

Even some english words dont have perfect rhyme and u still have to improvise by slantin the closest soundin words to fit it, i dont kno watya gettin at really.

Now you're seriously just denying the truth to support your stance.
Chimamanda Adichie always talks about how she grew up reading Enid Blyton books. . . when she started writing, she felt more comfortable using imagery from 60s Britain.
She specifically noted that all her old writing had words like 'tulips', 'goblins' and 'elves'. She was influenced by Brit writers, even her style was Brit.
She then noted that she only changed when she started reading Chinua Achebe books . . .she even said she never believed it was possible before she read Things Fall Apart.
This is coming from someone that's written three award-winning books.

wat truth? na wa ooo
So is Chima constricted now? This is sm1 i kno and hav done stuff for so watya tellin me?
Now that she localizes her story she's even gettin more reviews and accolade and more locally relevant.
If wat im rappin bout or writin is MY experience i cant be constricted b'cos experience happens in pictures not in words.
It's when u wanna mimic other pples xperience wit ur own language that u MAY run into difficulty.
Tell oyinbo man to rap amala, Kabiyesi, or iyan in with one english word each.
As vast as the english langauage is they too wld have to become discriptive.

What's the relevance?? He started it . . . it would have been easier for him if there were Yoruba people to emulate.
The same way Grand Master Flash would have been lyrically better if Nas came before him. . . . see where I'm coming from??
It was harder for GMF to be lyrical because he was one of the founding fathers . . . same with Dagrin.

He started it? Mayb ma knowledge of 9ja hiphop is warped.
I tot there was Ajasa b4 Dagrin,and tere was AY( not AY.com) and some other guyz too.
Dagrin took it to nxt level dont mean he started it, na wa oo.
Nas took from Ra and took it to d nxt level, thats a blessing.
Nas didnt say if Ra was a much doper lyricist it wuldda been much easier for him(nas) to do even beta.

See, i rest ma case.
