Ibi, if u are said to be a lyrical artist, waeva flow u choose to go with u shud spit da tight lyrics. .no excuses.
Whether mono flow, half tone. .waeva u wanna call it if ur lyricism doesnt shine thru u goofed!
And it aint about punchline. .u kno me naaa

Truth be told. .based on the hype and idea "the movie" this album flopped big time!!!!
He cudnt even tell captivating story and paint vivid narrative picture. .safe on WWW. .
but then he didnt raise the bar to justify the title. .the movie
I cant confidently call this a hiphop album. .its just a feel good album wit some rapping . .
with some auto tune ishh. .and he stil got lil' popish too. .
But based on its commerciality. .its big time on point!

TAI got me fiendin' bout Illegal. .illegal go me fiendin' bout M.i:2.
M.i:2 got me sayin what was it im fiendin' bout anway. .
not lookin forward to M.i:3, thnks to M.i:2


Sayin its production that determined the "classicness" of these dudes album is an insult to the revered lyricism of Mos Def and Common. .im not even discussin this.

oNe

We all luvvv M.i dont we!
Alluva sudden lyricism is now a small factor in hiphop. .hehehe. .great!!
Even tho no one is touchin the genius of Ye' on production. .he still gettin knocks that content is droppin o.

I knu the africanness[i](which is the direction of the album)[/i] of it will grow on dudes. .i said it earlier. .
But only cos its M.i.  RoofTop MCs, Sauckid< Ruggedy or VEC  culdda done this. Heck, thaSuspect culdda done this.

DOnt make me say a Timaya orTerryG culda done it too o

Every rapper out there now talk bout some social issues, personal stuff on thier album so it aint novel.
Tell me a rapper/emcee that talks about a topic and his lyrics aint relevant to the topic. .thats a given.
There's nothin in M.i:2 Content that TAI didnt hav . .only TAI has better lyrics and sounds less corny, so watch'all sayin.
M.i:2 aint touchin Illegal or TAI. .eff watchu heard.

Wat technicallity u talkin bout in Action Film U sure they sent u the right file?
Craze. .yes. .and i said that b4. .how ever to reproduce such vocal inflections all u need do is listen to enuff Nicki minaj!!
And no it doesnt seem pedestrian it IS pedestrian. .
I saw ur "My head my belle is crazzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!"
and im like. .oooowwkkayyyyy. .am i missing something?

Ibi must be feelin really generous nowadays. .lol 9.5?
Hmm. . whe was the last time any album hit that(a sincere question)
It's a fun album. .shud get heavy clubs and radio rotations. . yea. .bravo.
Production is the major thing the album has goin for it. .thumbs up!!

So do i like it?. . .'fcourse yes i do!!. .do i rate it high?. .Nehi!!!!!

Mixed feelings bawo?One thing i have discovered is that the "hip hop head fraternity" is a minority and are not the ones that will go all out to popularize your album.

That said,even in his "dumb down state",MI covered a range of subjects that is quite wide with tracks like craze,my belle and wild wild west.So kudos.


Soundsultan and Rugged were also supposed to be on the wild wild west but something happened along the line which made MI to apologize to them on twitter,so maybe we should expect a remix of the track.

Let me know your opinion of Rugged's track too.

Sure of course. .the thing is "hiphop heads" are selfish. .like u said its like a fraternity. .meanin it aint a mass driven thing!
I kno he covers diver topics. .props to him, but when u see ferrari acting toyotaish. .it gives mixed feelin, ya dig?
A toyotalike auto will still move u around, cover the basics, acceptance and all. .cos it's targeted at the masses. .
But as a ferrari user. .u gon be like shiiii. .wtf. .y is ferrari now doin a toyotalike automobile.

The songs will grow on most pple. .and by december the accolades will increase!

Btw, i saw M.i interview wit NaetoC and he said he wanted the album to be very mainstream.
So judgin by the mission of M.i2 he succedded big time!, which means i was right to say M.i is in da club. .witout 50cent!

oNe

lalaboi:

The last verse on "Epic" inspires! One of me fav track on the album

He's effn epic!

True dat Lalabizzle!! That track is ma most fav.!

kay_pumpin:

Also sent you 2 of Rugged's new track.The one with 2face and MI and the other i can tag his "swan song".Let me know your opinion on the songs.

Dude, i neva see RM's album. .how far na? How u send the 2 tracks and e nor reach me? u sure say na dbr101@yahoo.com u send am to??

kay_pumpin:

Either you a rap music lover or not,you can feel a connection with the album.[b]Even my Mrs who is not into anything rap has been bumping beef and number 1 since yesterday.[/b]Such is the mass appeal and pull of the album.

BTW,i think Rugged made a mistake releasing his album at the same time with MI,he's getting no buzz as MI is taking all the shine.

Yea u right dude. Some chics be sayin tho they not hiphop listners, now they enjoy listenin to some of d tracks.
Tho such comment gives me mix feelin'

oNe

Yea. .errrmmm . .
ok so the album didnt do me the giz giz the first album did.
Truth be told. .we luvin this M.i2 cos it's M.i.
I like the direction tho. .but most of the lyrics are just sooooooooooooooooooo dumbed down.

But yea . .he got the groove which is wat majority of listeners dancers want.
So yea. .M.i is in the club!

Ma favs: Epic, No one curse(this is the track). .then Beef,  and Number 1(ma igbo friend made me like it)

others: wild wild west, unstoppable( i luv the chorus, kinda emotional) , Craze(becos he got his Nicki minaj up on that one)

It was kinda an anti climax for me tho. .i was expectin a hybrid of Illegal music and Talk about it . .and then some, for M.i2

Nonethaless nice 9ja rap album! M.i definately the hottest out there now. .yea i said hottest. .tho not by miles.

Ibime:

@ Eldee,

Lol. .ofoka. .GRA na ma geozone naau. .
Climb a cliff to enta Jimmy's booth. .dyu kno wat a cliff is?

suicide jumpin from a van's cliff(waeva that is) doesnt appear will do d job o

ok . .i hear u. .
Mnwhiile go and BUY OD and Terry. .lol


oNe

OFOKA!! na wa for u o. .which kind interpretation be that.

Go find a CLIFF do a JIMMY jat JUMP off. .

Its a play on the reggae artist JIMMY CLIFF. .and Jimmy serves as the anchor noun for JAT's JUMP OFF.
Which u can do when u on a cliff

Reminds me of the artist that spat: Go n "Ron Brownz" yoursef. ."jump outta the window"

oNe

@Ofoka
OD n Terry's album ?. .guy, go buy ya own and stop lookin upload.
U be osho-free?!!!!

Bless ur mind!

rocnaija:

Based on your logic, DBR, Jim Iyke suppse commit suicide after hearing the line.
"I like Jim Iyke but Dangote is better yet"

C'mon . .this line is wayyyyyyy softer naauwww. . puhhhleaaseee!!!
i like jim iyke but Dangote is better. .so?
can u compare that to a line suggestin u r not A real man? haba!

ok, lemme play ginie. .choose one

I like Rocnaija but Eldee is beta
OR
Rocnaija is fine but Eldee is a real Man

Which wld u rather u went with??
ohooo. . I tot so!

oNe

eldee:

@DBR

Why Keke and D1?? Because they're the only famously rich people in the industry.
The same way most people will rather rhyme with P.Diddy or Jay-Z when they're talking bout wealth and not L.A Reid and Russel Simmons.

rocnaija:

So basically you're suggesting any of the line you used there would have had the recipients writing diss tracks?
Or that he underestimated Kelly's intelligence?

Eldee, im not sayin he shud refer any random rich dude( tho he still did so adenuga, obama et all)
dont sound like he had no options. .na by force to drop that line


Rocnaija:
If u r signed to Badboy, or Roc. .u wont big up others as the Real deal!
u big up your own. .as a shout out to your label ceo. .
so if that analogy is a must and he must drop that line or die why M.i nor use him own Oga as epitome of Real Man?
thats y i gaveu the options,  and it still works perfectly.

But cos he knows it has a diss slur to it. .e nor do am

oNe

eldee:

Context is everything . . . if you called me a brokeass, I'll laugh it off, why?? Because yesterday you said 'my maga didn't pay but I'm friends with Eldee'

WAt was this^^^^?
Nwayz, the contex of the line is this:
yes kellyH na fine boy, but nor be real man like keke or D1. .its simply!

oNe

rocnaija:


Nah. . . I disagree!
 Kelly was signed to keke and D!'s label, hence the reference.
It's like saying why bother with Sauce kid when you can have Obi Asika.
Doesn't mean Obi is the richest young dude in town.

u disagree? lol.
Ok, it flew over ur head!

Didnt u read Y D1 and Keke?
of course thats y he cld put kellyH. because of d affiliation
But i asked, why them?
Do they epitomize real men?

Y not Ikechucku is a blokey/ i'l tell him when i see him
but if i want a man t'will be asika obi/
or

Iceprince is a fine boy. .i tell him he's Ma dude/
but if i want a man t'will be Maikori audu/

ma point being, it aint a careless rhyme, he tot bout it
he know wat it means. .mayb he neva xpectd d guy to catch it

oNe

eldee:

It wasn't a taunt, it's just a funny rhyme . . . he doesn't take things serious, Kelly Handsome is obviously protective of his territory.
Sumn like that is what you laugh at while watching footie in a pub.

You don't have the right to be offended if no offence was intended.

Oh? Na u wan tell me bout Jude now abi?? lol. .ok naa.

Taunt or not. .inferin' that a dude is not a man aint a compliment either., or is it?
pple that have said less to u here. .eldiggy,  u'v chewed off. .or attempted to chew off their ears

oNe

rocnaija:

Dude is on that subliminal tip.
But in the context of the first song I doubt he was firing shots at Kelly, that one just dey catch feelings.

Just dey catch feelings? Y kellyH of all names?
Why Keke or D1. .are they the richest young dudes around?
or the realest men around?

The guy get reason to vex naa. .u nor kno say na so slang dey start?
if a babe's bf is not "bucksed' up. .pple wil start sayin he's kellyH.

things like. . . babe, na KellyH u go chop?. .when loaded correct bobos dey town?

ma new year resolution, me i nor dey for KellyH again o. .i want a real man

or. .i don tire for KellyH. .na real man i dey find now.
Infact the guy spose catch more than feelin sef

oNe

Obviously na M.i taunt the KellyH. .make we nor lie!

Ivycongen:
