U are obviously losing your mind on this one. are u related to mode9? the 'phrase hard to survive' if you listened to ruggedman's rap you would find out u are wasting a lot of energy.

The phrase was a direct quote from ruggies's line on that track and what he means as do I is the survival in the entertainment world and yes that translates to life. The 42 million psquare made was a reference to the fact that it pays to make naija a base of naija songs. You are talking like someone who has not been in direct contact with the entertainment business in naija. and for that, it is easy for u to say!

If u are an artiste, try to release a naija song without naija in it and I will expect you to come back to this thread in a year. . . no, sorry in ten years.

I still repeat it. . . . name a naija musician who has made a hit and survived in the naija entertainment world without naija in his song. Quote value in naira also.

If you cant, please get it zipped up 

@
Cabali,
F'course i kno t'was a line from Ruggedy's line, and a shot at M9.
So lets do this with that in mind:
followin ur assertions, that line is pointless.
Y?, cos 1- M9 is Makin it, 2-he's surviving, 3- he adds 9ja.So wats d fuss?
That is ma stand.
Now u tell me if it's otherwise.Or u sayin the degree to which u add 9ja
is the same extent to which u make it/survive. What exactly does he or do u even mean by ADDIN 9JA?
It's funny u just went over urself over nothin.
All i said is "there r those addin 9ja that arent makin it as much as some not addin 9ja.
Simple enuff fact i tot, until u came wit ur gibberish fit.

That said, these tracks stood out of the artiste album/career and got them recognition>
dunno if they added 9ja or not, u tell me.

One love- Onyeka-(unarguable her biggest hit)
Angel of ma life- P.play -(was a huge hit)
Not the girl- Darey-(the tightest so far on d alb.)
African Queen -Tface-(u know how far it went and what it translated to in royalty)
i consider M.i's illegal Mixtape far better than the album, im still lookin for the 9ja added.
Shud i go on?

Infact if u'v not noticed that the Paradigm has Shifted and stil shiftin' from the "Must-Add-9j- syndrome"
u are on ur own, tho i got nothin against addin 9ja.

lol, well i like to say M.i didnt BITE on M9 even tho it seem so.
Did u see a list of lines spat by M9 way back that later showed up in M.i's verses?
Well, i see it as INFLUENCE rather than BITIN" or so i'll like to see it.Cos
dude got some really nice lines of his as well.
Or like JayZ said, "When i say a Biggy line i'm only biggin up ma bratha"
So i assume wheneva M.i spits an M9's line he's just givin respect to the vet.
It's a pointer to those who wanna trip to say M.i is better Lyrically.

cabali:
And i'd advice u read in english too! Interpretation of what I wrote is that not all that add naija could make that much. I just gave one example and u lost ur mind. But I say that if u remove naija, you cant make that much just yet. If u have examples, I ask again. . . . . . name and figure

I have told u who has made it with naija, tell me who did without naija.

All the artiste that can be paid over N2m a show like dbanj, 2face, 9ice. They all gat naija in their songs. Tell me a strictly non-naija artiste in the country that pulls that much weight and has frequent shows in the country.

either you tell me or just dont reply this posts cos that would tell it all

Ur reasonin is just kinda twistwed and warped.
If ur tot process was thorough when u wrote ur english maybe i'll comprehend.
U were not talkin bout MAKIN' IT, u said HARD TO SURVIVE,
those were ur words, so stop shiftin' the goal post,dude and quit throwin tantrums like a baby put under restrictions.
I guess u r clueless as to the difference btw the two expressions of MAKIN IT and SURVIVING.
And like i said u dont need 42milli to SURVIVE,
plus, addin 9ja aint the magic potion for either
survivin or makin it. If t'was e'rone addin it will be MAKIN' it.
Get ur mind right.

That's more cheddas for the Rugged individual.
Ma only issue is wit the way the poster coined it.
Except for the blood of Jesus that comes to ur life
and cleanse the dirt of ur past, present and of the future,
a lil' good deed dont make ur whole s#%t right.

Wat im sayin is if there's a general knowledge
(which i'v seen to be very logical)that most of Ruggedy's cash aint from
music,then hostin' a musical show wont just convert the source of
all his dough to a musical one, or will it?
Nxt time just give us the information witout neccesarily tying it to an illogical resolve.
That said, coNgrAts to Ruggedy.

It's an official remix.
Tho Faze knew 'bout it.
They performed it together on a

I soo prefer this M9's remix Originality to the Original Originality(pun?)

"Faze came in the game as an underdog/
now it's over dawg, /

Now that is good prop from M9.

For the Lyricist on the roll: i wonder y "Nine" by M9 is the choice.
I was expectin' either "My skin is black" or "The game needs me"
dunno how Nine will do against "Talk about it", tho not that TAI is lyrically
superior to "Nine" but im just lookin at it topical wise.

Owkaiy, im listenin to "Nine" right now,, and im begginin to see Y,
yeaaa, owkaaiiyyyyy, yea, i get it. M9 is pickin that lyricist category again.
And who r those askin Y PS is on the Rap album of the year category?
Which other album shud be there? TAI and PS are both classic albums.
So wat the fuss?

Or wasnt that wat u said earlier?:

It will take a miracle to SURVIVE in naija if u make music and dont add any naija.
Some one amplify that to Mode9

And i said:

Yet we still have cats who added tons of naija but still aint makin it close to

And truthfully u dont have to believe it.

If y'all can believe sm1 who's usin cars sent home

d plate # reveals such evidence, y then is it so agonizin

So until u read in papers? Didnt we read the above in papers?
Does that make the news true? And it's that wat d game is about, cars?
Pple launder their image on paper, so im sure even if u read it

audio:
meanwhile no hit records, no endorsements, no bucks. He needs practical help.

Hip Hop is constantly evolving. If you don't evolve with it, you get so left behind. Mode's choice of beats aren't what people are bubbling to in Naija at the moment. His lyrics don't connect with the masses. [/b]You do realize that in the real world, the guy has to pay rent, eat and feed himself. The Paradigm Shift might be an album with all the lyrical wordplay, but i can assure you, there is no heat on the album, [b]so it won't sell and if it doesn't sell, he doesn't get paid.

audio
some of what u said here is what make sm1 like Khanye come after u.
If u accuse khanyee for not passin his point witout insultin or yabbin
cant u do the same witout yabbin M9?
No hit records, yet he gets awards? Do we just ignore facts cos we wanna prove a point?
Well i guess ur idea of hit record is basically club bangin tracks, sorry cos it's beyond that.
No endorsement? Puhhleaaszzzeee! Tell me how many rap artist with endorsements.
Wait, ok, there is one, M9.
See tru M9 eyes and u'l get this point -9ja didnt event hiphop, thus we cant play it by our own rules
there are beats that r not hiphop, just as there are beats that are not akpala, highlife etc.
A beat can change the label of the genre u claimin u r at.  Yes there can be fusion but then we'll
know it's fusion.Afterall there is a resean we have these different genres.
That is where M9 stands and if u understand that u'l respect him for what he's doin.

Like i say ANYBODY can get a tungba beat and rhyme on it, u think that's a hard task??
Yes i wish pple can feel M9 more and all. I will wanna hear him on some ill beats too
but i'v come to a place that if he doesnt change his beat nd crunk it up , or tungbalize it
to a more 9ja kind beats it doesn affect nothin, i'ma still cop his works anytime.

Again u say he's broke but dude has his apartment, has a built in studio, has been shootin vids
and i think all these things cost money or wat dyu think?
Plus, an Infinity  jeep doesnt sound broke to me or does it to u??

@DBR

You didnt answer the topic question.

Do you think it backfired! If it did, there is no point trying to pretend it didn't happen and everybody should just move on. As you can see Funky baby is still upset.  

My main concern is that Mode aint  getting the props he should be getting and i'm trying to work out why.

You have to identify a problem before you can find a solution. Not trying to brew anything but wanted to provoke people into a response.

Ok, to answer i do not think it backfired.
I do not see the track as a problem, and if it is, it aint big to harm his carreer
cos M9 major market aint bugged by it. Any lady who doesnt see the track in
the lighter mood in which it was aint worth the trouble convincing that it was
a harmless, light mood, track. Seeing it as a diss track to ladies is just kinda petulant.
oNe

rapjunkie:
I know it was meant to be funny. I listened to it a million times but it seems that it is only guys who got the joke.

On the MI or Mode thread ( don't ask which, so many these days) the girls seemed to dislike Mode because of that song. If you want to sell commercial units ( not saying Mode does) you need to appeal to the ladies. Lets face it, we all know songs we are forced to listen to and end up liking ( reluctantly) because our ladies  like them.

If there is a massive disapproval of an artist by ladies because of a song he made then I don't think I need to explain what the problems will be.

What I meant by apologising is ( for e.g) releasing a ' Nigerian Girls Part 2' where he addresses the matter (in a funny way) asks for forgiveness and points out the positive things about Nigerian girls which they will be happy to identify with and 'rock' at clubs. We all know Mode9 has wit and i believe he's got the skill to pull it off.

Comprehende?

If you've liked M9 before, "Nigerian girls" wont make u hate him,
Nigerian Girls wont be labelled "the final nail in coffin".
So believe this none of 'em gurls hatin on him is doin it cos of "Nigerian girls"
And definately an Ondo girl wuddnt be mad cos wat was said bout her
was her intelligence? A gwari chic too shudnt cos t'was the culture of carryin stuff on shoulder
that was mentioned, havin a ttribal mark aint sth M9 promulgated either.
He wasnt the 1st to infer that Igbo chics like pepper, or that a Lagos chic like partyin.
Or the other thing that most of us know bout the stereotypes. So wats the big deal?
And mind u he's statin HIS own EXPERIENCE with the STEREOTYPES whether fiction or not,
Let the dude breath.
oNe

C'mon!!! Puhleaseeee. When was this track realeased?
Any lady that feels offended by this is , ummmm. wats d word again?
They must be on some Ralph Tresvant ishhhh, so Sensitive.
Nothin M9 said here is different from what A Basket mouth,
or some other artistes wuld say on a lighter note.
And their carreer if far from being over.
Dont try to brew anythin NOW.
And how come they hook-no matter, wat u gotta love 9ja gurls
meanin no matter the stereotype u still gotta luvvv 9ja chics.
The fact that it was a stereotype of the 9ja babes is the very reason
it shudnt be taken as sth to grouse about.
Like they say in movies: The view represented in this movies does not show
the belief or bias of the the actors or the production company.

BajaGold:
This is as flawed an argument as I've ever seen,  Mode 9 is a punchline rapper,  he's not a lyrical emcee.
Ever heard the phrase. . . "you made it a hot line, I made it a hot song"

Punchline rappers are revered in the hood but it rarely translates into commercial success. . . see Cassidy, Gillie the kid, E-ness, Big L, Talib kweli. . .

Lyrical emcees transcend the hood and do well commercially without loosing their lyrical ability. . . see Jigga, Biggie, Eminem. . .

Even though you rate mode highly (and i do too) fact remains there's more to an emcee than wordplay and lyrics. His swagger, punchlines, metaphors, breath control all come into effect, 

So while mode9 may have numerous quotables, he still can't make a hot song!

And so by your own understanding it's a hit song that makes an emcee LYRICAL?
And did u just include Talib Kweli in the list of JUST PUNCHLINE rappers?
Do u guys so much confuse Hit track, with if an emcee is lyrical or not?
And now M.i is more lyrical than M9?/ Greatttt!!!!
Do i need to post more lines M9 spat way back that sort of showed up reworked in M.i verses
before y'all give this dude his respect,
How on earth will anyone after my earlier post say M.i is more lyrical.
Do y'll read or just skim tru info. The fact that M.i is more commercially apealin makes him auto-more lyrical
I can imagine if t'was M.i that spat all those lines and they later showed up on M9's verses, t'ld be a diff. story.
And pls since when did "swagger, punchlines, metaphors, breath control all turned to indicators of a LYRICIST?
If M9 aint lyrical, if M9 is just a punchline emcee, then i guess we have no lyrical emcee in 9ja.

Also I read an article on MI in Ladybrille and he said he was releasing an 'international' album for the western market?  WTF does that mean? Is he leaving us all ready to go and rap in the States? So he had to release a seperate album for us dummies in Naija first ?
The “One” album I feel is better than Kanye West. It’s that good. . .I really think and work as hard as I can to let people know we can do it.[/b]

Hmmmmmm!!!

I would have thought that naija hip hop artists would be aiming to release 'international' standard albums already by now.

rapjunkie
Do u have the "illegal Mixtape"?
Listen to the last track, it's an interview.
He explained that he had to kinda try to do wat will sell in 9ja wit the "Talk bout it" album.
Then the "Illegal mixtape" was for heads. while the "One" is like the very M.i that likes to create unusual music.
I dont think it's a bad idea, especially if the 3 works come corret and represents the classifications.
At lest it means the boy is really workin, unlike some other dudes who dont even have mixtapes and they claimin kingship and stuff.
I like when smone is deligent.
Lets see the outcome of "one" i hope it does well, i like the "illegal mxtape" so im sure i'll like "one" too.

You guys are on another something!!!         You don't mess about when it comes to lyrics.

@DBR

Not trying to stir controversy but there are a few startling similarities between the lines you put up there of Mode & MI. Too many to be coincidental, get what i'm saying?

Hmmmmm!!!!

@
rapjunkie

For ME, lyrics is key, it shows me ur tot process,
how deep or shalow ur are, how cerebral or how lame u are.
Yea, no controversy intended, i only wanna  show the INFLUENCE,
See, M9 made pple pay attention to puttin in work into their lines.
it's not that M.i is bitin, dude got some nice lines too all by himself
It's just that when u hear a line that makes u scratch ur head,
it propells u to wanna do a variation of it, most times Unconsciously too.

Example:
U'r just beaten APPLE sufferin from PEAR(peer) presure-M9
U want APPLE so i bought a PEAR(pair)-M.i

U can see the variation in the above.
M.i is a good lyricist in his own right, but like i always say M9 still has the custody of that lyrical crown.
The two of 'em M9 and M.i are 'bout the only rappers who beyond just droppin metas,punchlines
paint poetic pictures and tell stories with their words.
M9, M.i the 2 most incredible out of 9ja!
oNe

Personally i think the two shuddnt be compared, but it's on so lets do it.
For me i see M.i s the maintream and more musical side of M9.
I also suspect an M9 lyrical influence on M.i
These two are ma Fav rappers now.
There last album Talk bout it and PS are 9ja's hiphop cclassic collections.
For the influence i talked bout consider this-
Y'all know i'v been sayin M9 king M.i the heir?
Check this out.


bite if u fit cos i pen all my cyphers in java script-M9
study my script like java-M.i


ur not ill, u'r a hypochondriac., got no style, plus u imagine that-M9
dude say he was really ill, like a hypochondriac like a cheap , -M.i


U'r just beaten APPLE sufferin from PEAR(peer) presure-M9
U want APPLE so i bought a PEAR(pair)-M.i

All the other dudes talkin bling bling, no  men im different-M.i
Bling bling bubble gum rap, i dont feel that-M9

Mi rockin high swing it like a sword like a blade-M.i
sitin on the score board like im swingin war sword slashin all u wack guys-M9

straight hair like perming tool-M9
i can get ur hair right like a hair salon/-M.i

ma plans are workin out who needs aerobics -M9
that ma tongue do aerobics-M.i


try to play god stop me the hiphop renaissance/-M9
im the the impressionist of the 21st century-M.i

u fast food, the game is for the Fly thats why im aeroplayin/-M.i
the game is meant only for  the bravehearts , u get shot down if u'r not the Flyest/-M.9

Nigga takin aim at the back of us/-M.i
Little kids wanna take shot but dont know what the weapon is/-M9


i satisfy u like the aftermath of safe sex-M9
dont F with me cos it aint safe sex-M.i

I saw the big picture didnt have u in it-, picture me like jpegs-M9
im the big picture like 1gig Jpeg-M.i

i mastered the Arts but i still drop science/-  M9
reach u classically fantastically i mastered the art u bastards-M.i
Drawin inspiration from the beat like i read Art--M9

My album too hot u cant shelf me/-M.i
my album hot so u whisk it off the shelf/-M9

flyer than the upper echelon/-M.i
U messin with the Upper echelon/-M9

i raised the bar for lyrics y'all can do the limbo under it
cos ur whole style is confetti-M9
see it's a pity but ur witty flow is confetti -M.i

These is just few i can whip up for now.
Worthy of note is that The M.i lines are form his recent ILLIGAL MIXTAPE and few from TALK BOUT IT
While none is from M9's latest effort PS but from his earlier works.
So when i say what M9 has spat in the past still drop jaw u now see wat i'm talkin bout.
So do i hear M9 king and M.i heir,  again?
