How can he say he's observing the suffering of the average gala hawker. . . when his findings are already distorted by the culture effect.
This dude, cus of his colour is already the highest selling gala-hawker in the whole of Lagos
Infact, UAC Foods should get him to do ads for them.
Bout policemen, what policeman will sieze a Yankee man's gala??


If you really want to do research in this case, hire Naija guys to interview gala sellers and stop attracting attention
Participants observe the behaviour of the object in its natural environment . . . a white gala man in Lagos is far from that

MrCrackles:
True and all fair!

Lord save us . . . how did you do it?
You made Sauron propose an 'agree to disagree' on Eminem??
Have you got ur techniques on paper?? I need to see if they'll work for Anderson

chidichris:
@eldee,
since football has turned to logic, what was the logic when mikel signed for chelsea?

Same reason Arsenal bought Walcott.
At the time, Mikel was the hottest prospect in the world after Fabregas.
They needed a long term replacement for Makalele, and they thought he was going to fit in directly, only for him to get two red cards in three matches, then they knew he was not another FAB4 or Messi, but sumone that needed time to grow.

chidichris:
what was the logic when essien returned from injury?

Tell me you're not basing your judgement on one or two games??
If so, then delusion must be your girlfriend.

chidichris:
what is the role of a coach in ur logic?
what if the coach chooses mikel above other players, will nigerians question that through their logics?

Are you seriously talking like this??
I hope you know who Chelsea's coach is??
I mean, you do know that Ancelotti had a hand in the Pirlo we've come to know and love.

chidichris:
how many midfielders are in chelsea? why have nigerians logics always turned to be against their own?

Will you please save the patriotism speech for October 1st??
Point to one midfielder in Chelsea's line up that any sensible coach will becnch for Mikel. . . just one

chidichris:
do u believe in God? do u believe in God's favours? do u know who joseph is and his position in his family?
in ur logics, remember, what so ever u wished another person, same will be ur case.

Oh . . . spare me the sermon, I'm not wishing anything for anyone.

If Jacob had to choose sumone to bench among Mikel, Ballack, Lampard, Essien and Pirlo . . . we all know who it would be
You're hilarious, comparng mlticolour coats to football . . .

chidichris:
as it is, mikel has proved himself as the most reliable defensive midfielder chelsea has after the exit of makalele.

Nah . . . Mikel has bing the most reliable midfielder when everyone else is injured . . . get your facts right

chidichris:
my problem with nigerians is that we lack coaches in all our national teams yet they are wise enough to reject a player who world class coaches have approved.
with these hatred and jealous, nigeria will remain where we are.

We are not jealous of Kanu, or Eto . . . or maybe Nsofor
Why should anyone be jealous of Mikel . . . now that's plain stupidity.

@chidichris
Why do you happen to think everyone's anti-Mikel??
For heaven's sake, this dude is a fringe player in Chelsea

The facts are there plain and simple . . . if Chelsea buys Pirlo, and Lampard and Essien don't get injured, Mikel has to go to the bench . . . c'est fini
It's not hate, it's pure logic.
Mikel is not the first person to be in this situation and he won't be the last.
If Pirlo were to come to Arsenal, Song will have to find a space on the bench too. . . it's football, not molecular radioactivity

Kobojunkie:
Nigerians oooo!!!! I do hope the authorities go after this man to verify his claim. He should be brought before a court or even ifa to verify his claim. Roflmao!!

I gave a pound to the Labour Party and I got that badge . . . I think I'll have to go to the media to tell them I helped Gordon Brown become Prime Minister

@Skyblue
Look at the whole write-up, that's lazy, copy-paste journalism
Apart from the topic, it's difficult see the main issue there

Even the Governor himself does not have the right to grant amnesty to a person if the Judiciary doesn't agree . . .
At the end of the day, the Governor, the Advisory Council and other important people in the Judiciary have to put a stamp on it before the women are allowed to go.
Although, the process might be hurried due to the fact that the First Lady suggested it.

biina:
It is possible that the first lady simply announced the pardon granted to the prisoners, as I expect the pardon to have been granted before the visit.
The pardon is granted by the governor, who is expected to have consulted with the judiciary and the Committee on the Prerogative of Mercy.
I doubt she could walk into the prison and set people free indiscriminately.

I agree with that point, in my opinion, she only recommended, the final decision was made by the Governor and the Judiciary.
And everyone, even you and myself, has the right to put forward people's names for amnesty, the rest lies on the Governor's final decision.

Biggie actually sold drugs, same as Jigga man. Nas was a proper poppa's boy.
It's like Brash making records about shooting gats in South London. Thats a big FARCE.

So Common is not credible again? Common would whup Nas' ass with a horse-whip.
What about KRS-ONE. . . . . The Rap GURU? Is he irresponsible as well?
Y'all niggaz cannot think out of the box. It gets to you that a non-mainstream rapper is better than your heroes.
I laugh in SWAHILI.  Canibus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jay-Z, Nas and other pretenders.[/quote]What I'm pointing out is that, I've seen Common say things to please people
Rappers aren't allowed to say what they want anymore, KRS-One came out praising Nelly the other day
Nelly's a worse rapper than MIMS, but rappers now only spit the truth in their songs

Nas lived in the projects, grew up there, watched his best friend die, was in street Freestyle battles . . . infact, he got his record deal from the streets.
He was the 3rd eye in the streets, watched things happened like a researcher and dropped them on poems.
His view was unique cause he was schooled, he could see things from different perspectives, he didn't even have to take sides.
The perspective Nas gave us will never come from any other rapper . . . they'll either be too involved or too detached.

MrCrackles:
Nas Vs EM?
You dont pair an heavyweight with a paperweight, Sharon!
Fuc.k that, Jadakiss will crush Eminem's spine and feed his carcass to vultures!
Eminem is off radar dude, ESCO's bang on point

Come on . . . stop insulting Eminem
You're underestimating the combination of Eminem and Eedris Abdulkareem

Faggidy, Faggidy Andy Annie

No it Annie and Andy

@Krayola
What the Bleep do you think you just spewed there??
Nas ain't real?? How many times have you heard Nas talking of loading gats like B.I.G??
This bloke just comes out to describe what he's seen in the projects,and u say that's fake??
At least we know he's not one of them rappers that lie against their parents to make multi-million dollar grossing movies.

How can you say Nas is not real?? Seriously, you don't need to comment on stuff you don't know.
And see who's talking bout fake. . . The Academy Awards are thinking of giving Bruno and Eminem the award for best On-screen Collaboration of the Year.

@Sauron
You want me to listen to Common??
The same person that lists Lil Wayne as one of Hiphop's Top Five on BET??

I'd rather listen to George Bush talk about Calculus

Lets even assume for a second he was referring to Illmatic, does that necessarily make the album the best rap album of all time??

I don't have to prove tht, the world knows, your hero knows that too

Raze:
@Sauron I'm an Em fan too and I think I know the line they're talking about. It's that 'Can't leave rap alone, the game needs me' line. Now that's an ode to Jigga. Honestly that's biting but I know Em is not a frequent biter. But Jigga be doing it too much and not jus from Big alone. Are the Jigga fans saying cos he is skilled, he is allowed to bite. If an upcoming rapper did the same thing, y'all would crucify him. The flaws in this song are: Jigga bit, he was kinda biased and his lyrics were not good enough. He shoulda spit something on par with that on Lost+. The only thing that had me completely was the beat. Now let the story begin.

Yeah . . . but you lot act like Jay-Z is some newbie in the rap game
For heaven's sake he's dropped some of the best rap albums, WITHOUT A PEN
You don't understand, when you release 10 albums, and so many classics, no idiot doubts your lyrical skills

We can't remove 'bigging up' from hiphop, Hov didn't start it, he won't be the last to do it

Nas' Illmatic CD is the most popular version of it.
If God's Son becomes a slang tomorrow, Nas' name would be attached to it as well.
Eminem was not talking about Illmatic in any way. . . . Illmatic itself was a commercial failure. . .
It took more than 7 years for it to hit the "platinum status".[/quote]Exactly . . . if it becomes a slang . . .
Illmatic didn't mean classic hot ish till Nas made the album
Eminem used it instead of 'emblematic' , 'terrific' and many other words . . .
Why?? Because it is the same word for the greatest rap album of all time . . . c'est fini

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=278823.msg3996484#msg3996484 date=1244488153]It had nothing to do with Nas album.
"Illmatic" is a slang in the hip-hop world.
I can say Ibime's lyrics are illmatic. . . . .All that means is Ibime's lyrics are sick, phat, dope and thatz it.
Gosh, must everything be related to Nas?? "Illmatic" as a word existed before Nas.
I won't be surprised if y'all Nas dickriders say Nas invented "God's Son" too.[/quote]Hehehe . . . I knew you were going to come up with that
Even your site says it right

Origin: Nas's Illmatic Cd

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=278823.msg3996380#msg3996380 date=1244486418]Illmatic is a SLANG for something being dope. When something is sick, when something is ill!!!
What Eminem was saying there was in a couple of years, his album would be dope by the same heads that condemned it in the first place.

http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/illmatic[/quote]Are you trying to tell me that the line had nothing to do with the Nas album??
I'll drop this argument if you tell me that . . . I swear

MrCrackles:
Lolz
Eedris will turn down EM!
Sauron's internet subscription must be getting paid by EM!

You think this is bad . . . you need to see him go on and on for Canibus
I think Bis' has got his phone bills covered

Bamsyle:


Sauron would dig into the darkest pits of all the planets to convince us that Em's out of this world . . .

God's Son is a classic masterpiece . . . each joint on that album was like cold water to a thirsty soul wandering in the desert - I'm yet to see any rap album since 2002 that can compare with it . . . it's been a shitty journey all the way . . . and then Em comes after 5 years to belch in our ears . . . "Get Down" would make a minimum of 18 tracks on Eminem's Relapse get down on they weak knees . . .

The critical state of Hip Hop right now needs something a country mile more than Relapse.

I think Em's prolly the smartest businessman since Alan Sugar


The dude had a 'relapse' for five years (making his face scarce)
He then came back with a single dissing all the popular E! celebs (Getting attention)
Released a crap album to say he's reviving hiphop (Cheap ads)
Then went on to suck Bruno's butt on MTV (Satisfying his sexual preferences)

Is this not the perfect recipe to sell 820, 000 in one week??

Bamsyle:
And what's the biggity in those lines
Christ , when will you stop this heresy?? . . . Eminem ain't nutin but a crumpled piece of paper when compared to Nas . . . you're really stuck on the clowning ish and horror stories that Em churns out all the time . . . Jeez, are you a kid??
Apart from wordplay, tell me one thing that Eminem has that'll make anyone consider him a serious MC?? . . . you need to sit down and analyse thangs properly . . . you're too carried away by Em's meaningless babbles . . .

In the class of MCs who command mad respect, Eminem ain't sh*t.

By the whiskers of General Moudallah . . . do you listen to music through your nostrils

How can the following crap be referred to as decent songs?? - 3am, Deja Vu, Hello, Stay Wide Awake . . . all these are shitty songs . . . and if I need to screen that list further, Beautiful and My Mom are just average tracks - I can never put 'em on rewind!!!

LOL!!! I've listened to Nas' Godson over 100 times and I've never pushed any button on the remote (apart from 'rewind let me get that part clearly')
Just 'Get Down' will spit on any song on Em's Relapse

I'm still wondering why Sauron's 'Best Lyricist' has lines like

'Faggidy, faggidy, fagidy, ragidy ann and andy, NO! ragidy, andy and andy NO!' in the best song on his album.

I swear, I was thinking it was Eminem Ft Eedris Abdulkareem

Ike Uche  . . . baddest guy

Eminem came back and all of a sudden, his album is topping the charts in 20 different countries(Japan, Germany, Iraq, etc).
Trust me, Eminem just gave rap mouth-to-mouth.[/quote]Yeah . . .that's obvious, with lines like

Faggidy, faggidy, fagidy, ragidy ann and andy, NO! ragidy, andy and andy NO! it cant be, it cant be

Mouth to mouth?? Nah, ass to mouth you mean, we saw it at the MTV awards

chiogo:
LOL LOL LOL, Eldee, what's wrong with beach wears? So long as he wore them in a non-rap setting, he can wear bikini for all I care. Ok, maybe he did wear colorful clothes in 'Big pimping' but it was a beach setting, what do you expect? These rappers using auto-tune are feeling like R & B artistes, No the hell it's not, it's rap. I didn't realize he was referring to Kanye when he said 'Ye. But you're right, Kanye shouldn't be left out, Lil' wayne too. But these auto-tune people need to stop, seriously.

Don't kill 'swag' just yet. Kinda like that word.

I see nuffing wrong with rappers singing, infact I think, if any rapper needs to have a dresscode to prove that he's hard, he's not fit to be called a rapper.
For heaven's sake, rap is about defining your own style . . . why's he against that??
But it's his choice though, he's earned his right to talk down anyone in hiphop

rapjunkie:
I detected a sense of irony in that line

What of the Weezy line??
It's obvious that he was referring to the way they made Mr Carter . . . Hov sent his verse and Weezy built his verse round it
So Weezy was going to talk about why it's unrapperlike to sing on hiphop track?? lol

rapjunkie:
like ur analysis. . . . . . .but regardless, I still think autotune has had its day.

Different strokes bruv . . . maybe Jay-Z needs to uderstand that concept

chiogo:
What crossover thing?

How is he doing the opposite of what he's saying when he hasn't been caught using autotune himself?

I was referring to his 'rapper have gone soft' theme
He's the one that started collabos with distant genres . . . he even did techno(or what's the name) with Pharrel
He basically destroyed rapper stereotypes . . . and now he's coming out to say 'yall's colours too bright' Bleep it, you wear beachwear and flipflops
I respect what he' done for hiphop, but at the end of the day . . . things change, and he started the process

chiogo:
Maybe he's biased, he favored Kanye probably 'cause that's his employee. But he didn't necessarily mention names of people who indulge in autotune either.

Maybe?? 'Ye told me to kill y'all'
That's basically cutting Kanye out of the whole thing

@topic
This is sooo uncalled for . . .Afterall Jay-Z started the whole crossover thing
Infact, he was pictured wearing slips in some resort like that . . .

These rappers are just fakers . . . say one thing then do the exact opposite

And yeah, why's he leaving out Kanye and Weezy??
Kanye did a whole autotune album . . . why's he left out??

I personally think the auto-tune is not as bad as people tend to make it . . . it's prolly the best thing in hiphop since sampling
And Jay-Z is still legendary, even when he's spewing fuckery his rap remains on point

Moonstone:
If y'all watched the game btw Monfils and Roddick well you'd see that Roddick has a disgusting temper. I'm happy Monfils beat his sorry self. Imagine - he had the guts to tell Monfils that he's not as good as he thinks he is. . . Hissssssssssssssssss!
As for Nadal - Praise Jah he's out. He was getting too cocky on clay sef. . . just because he managed to win so many games on clay. I hope he'll gather his game and gain some humility from this experience.
I really wanted Del Potro to win the game against Federer yesterday and he would have done so if not for the simple idiotic errors he kept on making. That game was his to win and his to lose. He was on his way to kicking out Federer till after the first 3 sets.

As for tomorrow's Final - I want Soderling to win so bad. He's ranked 23 in the world for goodness' sake. It would be amazing to see #23 crush #2 - Tennis has been too predictable in the last 2 years jare. Always a Nadal-Federer final. Now that someone new is in the mix - I'd be happy if he became one of the top dogs from this. Besides, he deserves to win that game after beating Nadal that way. Whichever way, Soderling has made his name relevant through this tournament.

Damn, you're such a hater . . . it's freaking ridiculous
Come on . . . you hate number one and two . . . you hate Roddick too

I don't need psychic powers to know that you're not a big fan of Murray either . . .
Don't hate, appreciate
