So why is there a reggae/dance hall category, Einstein?

Cus Dancehall is a fusion of the whole rasta thing wiv rap.

@ofokasibe
Are you trying to take the piss?

Anyway, if I'm Hot is a mixtape song, didn't I give a list of five other songs?

Cus this is flipping Hiphop World Awards not Folk/Soul Awards, c'est finis

'I remember the time they came and took our fathers away'
Dare-Art-Alade: Skills

First of all, noone took your fathers away, if they did, u'll be African American or sumn.

Secondly, you weren't even born yet during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. So u're not remembering nuffin apart from what you studied for your history test.

@Original Poster
I don't get the topic, are they the first people to tour Africa or the first people to try to portray Africa in good light

fyneguy:
lol Eldee

Please pray you aint a victim of this. The burden of proof is on you to get the company responsible for your maltreatment. You may want to discuss with a lawyer and he'll tell you how dicey your case is.

There is proof, at least, there was a witness . . . the one that went to call
Besides, I thought we were talking of a church here??

All Pastor Chris has to do is, come out and apologise for the actions of his security guards, it happens everywhere
No one is saying he should point out who the people are.

@fegflu
Anyways I still need to get this original argument
These Lower house people don't need to go to school becase they've got experience??
What experience?? Being election thugs for Chief Obafemi Awolowo for 20 years??

JJYOU:
sorry sir almost 50% of the mps in the house of commons never went to university. i read this in the guardian just last year.

Even though I have this nagging feeling that you're talking bout the House of Lords (Where the Church of England is heavily represented, even in that case most Bishops have qualifications in Theology), I still challenge you to name top politicians in the major parties that are not learned.

fegflu:
Eldee,
I dont need to study google for the word internship. it is u who need to study the UK job mkt u will find ur self after u finish that course of yours, and plann accordingly how u can position urself properly in it.

I've got job offers that I can't take because they'll stop me from going further

How can you say experience comes before education??
Maybe I should just drop out ASAP so I can go on to become Bill Gates

Anyways . . . It's still funny how majority of people in the Lower House are illiterate
How then will they help to save the system especially the Universities??

fegflu:
Eldee knows wat am talkin about. Cus he is in london.

So its not about entry level Fhemmmmy

I live in the UK and I'm 100% sure that anyone that has a degree from a Top 15 university (not London Southbank and them ones) will get top-class work experience that will give him a choice of whether to stay in the field or move out.

If you blame it on the Recession, I can accept that, but experience . . . Hell to the bleeping NO!!!
Come on, the first experience of the workplace you get is in the university . . .

Fhemmmy:
Seems like the guy's mind is made up on why someone shd not go to school and just search for experience on the street, so let him/her be.
However, please, dont let anyone discourage you fron your dream, you are on the right path, and good luck

I'm in a professional field, it's impossible for me to change my mind

Fhemmmy:
u kidding me? so because the dude aint working in his field of study means, education is over-rated? I cant blv this, education is a gift that no one can take from you, education teaches you how to learn what life has got to teach you, and education doesn't end at the walls of the classrooms.

For goodness sake, please explain interships and work experience to your friend
Education in the UK is only 50% in the classroom, bout 30% internship and the rest extra-curricular

Almost every UK politician has one time or the other headed a club or social group in university
That's part of education too . . .
My Lawd!!! could you please help me explain that to fegflu??

Besides, why will they accept them when they go or customer-facing roles with half-baked anglais and exposed timidity??

fegflu:
I can guarantee u-Wat ever sch u r at d moment. Immediately u finish.if u dont hav experience in anyfield- u cannever get a job any where in dat london with dat qualification.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!! You're funny!!!
Have you heard of the word 'intern'
Google 'Entry Level' and see what pops out

fegflu:
Eldee,
Wat can of job are u doin in london?
is it related 2 ur paper qualification?

lets start from there first.

Hehehe . . . Going personal?? I saw that coming

Anyways, I'm a student . . . the reason why I swapped after two years in one of Nigeria's best unis is so that I can get a degree that won't be totally overshadowed by that of an Oxford Graduate.

The reason why I know I've got almost half a decade of education to pursue is so that the Education/Qualifications section of my CV will scream loudly before I send it in.
Anyone can write 'I am a purposeful, charismatic goal-getter' on his CV
But any stupid CEO knows that anyone with a Masters' degree from Durham has proven that he has at least tried to achieve a real goal.

What? You think you'll beat a Harvard Business graduate to any position if you don't have a good degree??
Are you just being funny or what?? This is what happens then y'all go screaming 'racism'.

Anyways . . . As I was saying, you can say education is not useful in Nigeria, it's your choice . . . but don't spew fuckery bout the UK
C'mon Boris Johnson: Oxford (Proven) . . . Bola Tinubu: 'Toronto' (Hmmmn)

fegflu:
Outstrip,
U ar in d States right? my arguement is this-
What i am saying is that Nigerians believe so much on paper qualification . They c it as a criteria to get everything beautiful that the society can offer. It is wrong. The people who introduce the academi curriculim we use today dont c it that way- and i will say it again -IN BRITAIN-were i liv, QUALIFICATION WITHOUT EXPERIENCE is as good as u never had the qualification in the first place- cus that iswat d system will reduce u to here.
On the otherhand- Go to all American business schools today,MOST of the students there are not Americans( majority of them are foreigners-africans , indians, asians, arabs), it is that way also in england. They KEEP manipulating the media on how highly regarded the qualifications from these schs are- but there citizens dont attend them. Have u ever ask your self the question why. But yet these same citizens runs wall street, runs hollywoods, manage all those blockbusters movies on Tv. You think steven spieberg hav a PHD.

What the world needs today is originality. Once people c that in you they will embrace u. And that is what has produced the likes of carlos slim, gates,Mittal, in the music industry-jayz,nice,tuface, in politics Obama(not his education- he was original) etc.

Whilst a considerable level of education in life is important- it is not a guarantee that you must achieve the best from the world. If we as nigerians continue to think like that we will never achieve much.

You need to learn to think outside the box, especially if the box is Peckham and Hackney.
What the eff are you saying??
How can you come here and compare real jobs to those bank-staff (cashier) jobs y'all are goin for??

Do you know how many Oxford and Cambridge graduates are in the House of Lords??
Do you even know what Eton is??

BTW . . . Bill Gates and Obama were Harvard students
Tony Blair and David Cameron are Oxford Graduates

Nigeria's Former President . . . National Open University

And if there's ever been a rap this fly
Yo, it had to be done by another M.I

M.I - Safe

fyneguy:
Eldee,

If my bodyguards beat you without my authorization or in my absence and you sue me, you think the court will rule against me?

lol bro, abeg go ask ur learned friends!

If your bodyguards act under instruction from three of Assistant Managers, I'll sue your company
The court will not rule against you, they'll rule against your company!!!

@fyneguy
Dude, this is so easy . . . if my bodyguards beat you up,you won't sue my bodyguards, you sue me!!!
What you think Pastor Chris should have immunity because of his 'grace'??

When a couple of top pastors of Christ Embassy get thier guards on you, you sue CHRIST EMBASSY
C'est finis . . . and its obvious that Pastor Chris is the decision maker in Christ Embassy

For heaven's sake, these men were not beating him up because he took pics of the pastors
They beat him up because he tried to take pics of CHRIST EMBASSY!!!

This is not a religion thing, it's the business structure we're talking about.

Can't the Vatican step into this??
When it's sumn to do with stuff as daft as gay priests, they'll jump on the pulpit
But now it's about people saving the life of a nine-year -old girl and they're playing 'Speak no evil'
Enough of all this hypocrisy . . . religion needs to step into the 21st Century

Or wait, maybe this is sumn they'll come back to apologise for after 100 years, like they did to Darwin.

afam4eva:
So the germans, spanish, french, russians don't go to school abi?

This is simply because they're not that exposed to 'normal' (educated and middle-class) black people
This is the exposure bit of it.

If all the black people you've seen in your life are farmers, you tend to form the stereotype that no black man can thrive at any other thing.
AND NO!!! The french are not racist.

afam4eva:
Did they just start getiing educated?

Are you trying to take the piss??
Have you not heard of the Civil Rights Movement??
Aight let me school you, since the 1960s, various groups have been championing a cause for the end to racism
This opposed the hegemonic belief that black people were intellectually inferior to the white people
This, coupled with various scientific researches since the 70s has created a value concensus that makes people see the need to be politically correct.

So no, education didn't start yesterday, the value concensus is what just started.

DBR:
Laaawddd!!!!! Eldee,  im mumified by how ur hate for this dude is kinda dullin u,
for real, and i say that witout any diss intended. I like to be factual.
So in ur assesment no difference/improvement in the quality of the 1st and the 2nd?
Dyu know how many materials M9 puts out? Tell me who equall that.
Just cos he does same song with different producers means it's no longer
done for the love and it's monotomy??, u gotta be jokin'.
Dyu kno how many time JayZ did "moment of truth"? And other songs.
Dude it's an accepted practice which u kno but just ignored cos its M9.
U dont have to like M9, u can even hate, it's ur choice and opinion,
but while at it make sure, at least endeavour to come correct.
oNe

First of all I DON'T HATE MODENINE.
I respect what he's done for Nigerian Hiphop in the past.
But does that mean I should ignore blatant facts??

I was disputing the argument sumone made bout him being mature and him doing his own thing before Rugged came to disturb.

Fact is, when you do a song thrice, it's acceptable.
But diss songs are not just everyday songs, they're meant to hit once and c'est finis.
Talking to You was even a warning shot.
Just imagine having three 'Ethers' . . . Come on!!!

When you do one diss song thrice, it's simply attention seeking.
Aight, he did one song thrice and what happened when he did the next diss track? FLOP!!!

afam4eva:
And what has education got to do with being liberal or detribalized.White people with all their education how many of them have changed. I think what matters is growing up.

Education with exposure has a lot to do with it.
If you don't lose tribalistic tendencies after years of being taught by the educational system's side-curriculum to be liberal, that shows how ethoncentric you are.

Bout the white pple, you have to agree with me that at least in the UK and the US, Racism is not as cool as it used to be before.
Blatant sexism and racism are considered signs of ignorance.
That's why the Prince is receiving so much stick for using the p-word

How can you say Igbo people are not ethoncentric?
I've met so many educated Igbo people that still have beliefs as stupid as 'Hausas stink'

IMO, most Yoruba pple let go of tribalistic tendencies with education.
They seen to be the only group of people that have let inter-ethnic marriage work for them.

If we're going to be specific, Yoruba pple from Lagos tend to accept pple from different cultures simply because they basically grew up around them.

And Igbo pple are definitely the most ethoncentric lot I've ever met.
Even education does not stop an Igbo man from saying things like 'he has to avoid Delta Igbos'

Who said Mode100 is mature?
Dude's 40 but he had to release the Ethopia line thrice to get attention.
To me that's not love for the game, that's that's just monotony borne out of his inability to improve.

@rapjunkie
WORD!!!

Except the part that you said M.I's not lyrically more skilled than Mode17
Dude's the 'Mister Incredible, Most Immaculate Mic Inspector, Music Innovator . . . Nigeria's Hiphop token, you gotta be joking'

Nigerian Hiphop has evolved past Modenine, people are discovering that they don't need to sacrifice good delivery to make sense.
This beef is Mode's last gasp

'Theo Walcott, will he?? is he?? And Theo Walcott scores a hattrick for England'

That's vaguely what I heard the commentator say in the Croatia match.

'AND THAT'S HOW HE MAKES A LIVING!!!'

A commentator shouted out exactly those words after Andy Cole scored a stunner.

The two strangest things I ever heard from commentators . . . Both in one week.

'He's got the pace, he's got the strength, he's athletic. . . he just lacks the natural TOUCH of a footballer!!!'

Sky commentator after Eboue missed that begging chance on Tuesday.

'It's Nasri, he's going to shoot!!! Oh no . . . It's Arsenal!!!'
That pretty much sums up Arsenal's season.

Are there any other funny/crazy or just out-of-this-world commentaries you've heard. Post them in honour of these wonderful people that have used their words to increase and slow down our heartrate whenever they feel like. (I'm talking of the commentators, not Arsenal)

Before I joined NL, I used to think only uneducated, backward pple could take minor religious and ethnic differences so important.
I joined NL, and voila, I saw doctors and PHD holders that could just switch when you tell them what tribe you come from and pple that would ignore a valid argument just because their religion is against it.

And by God, on NL, 'In my own opinion' is the new 'daft'.

Hehehe . . . now will you pple finally switch to 24?

DBR:
@
eldee
dude, are u for real with this?
First all, who says Jay is the cast-in-stone age template check for diss
or hiphop in general??
It comes when it comes bruv.
Can u boldly say Jay didnt take shot at dudes recently?
Or wat year was the Gallagher shot?
In "aint i", "True Life", put on remix" "go hard"
can u say he aint respondin' to some shots taken at him?
i doubt that much.
oNe

Who else if not Hov and Nas? Who else had a career-prime based on beef?
Aight, let's see, KRS-One. Had this thing with Nelly.
He came out to admit that 'hip-pop' is the only season rap's still on the Billboard charts.
He even went on to do a collabo with one of his longtime rivals.
Why?? Cus pple grow up.

Jay-Z replying beef . . . Do you know Hov at all??

'Haters like Hov why you still talking money shit
Cus I like money BITCH'

Don't mistake his flossing for caring bout his haters.
And bout Noel's case, dude didn't attack Jay-Z, he attacked hiphop.
And what was his response? Doing the mature thing, rocking at Glastonbury.
Infact only two bars from his promo single talked bout that incident
Jay-Z of 99 woulda given him three tracks. Ask Prodigy.

Jigga's a cocky bloke, that doesn't mean any other rapper is one of his priorities.
That's what growing up does to pple.

@Sauron
Do u need Sisikill to explain my post to you?
Thy Album Come is on i-tunes USA? Damn!!

@DBR
Exactly . . . You used the word 'when'
We all grew up. . . Modenine should too. He's 40
At 40, Hov stopped replying to disses, Nas grew up too.
There comes a time in a man's life when he concentrates on doing his thing, making his mark and probably getting new timbs.
Mode15 finds that concept too hard to understand

@Bajagold
You lot always make the same mistake,
Quality of lyrics? That's only a third of basic hiphop appreciation
The Jay-Z u're talking about dipped you in that same song.

'. . . I dumbed down to my audience for double my dollars
They criticised me for it, yet they all yell holla. . . '


@Bamsyle
Can't u sniff a good joke when you see one?
The timbs thing is just like the whole 'Jay-Z's a swagger jacker thing'
But seriously speaking, those timbs are more famous than Modenine
Do a review?? Thing is, you're mistaking me for sumone that gives a hoot bout this guy.

@Debosky
Don't diss Modenine. . .
DeathblowII's coming out, this time he's going to hit Rugged where it really hurts.
He'll tell us the secret and this time he'll compare Rugged's legs to, wait for it . . . Bamboo sticks!!!

@Bamsyle
You really think Pac eva made a Top 3 album?
Funny thing is the only Pac album I'll listen to without skipping is his Greatest Hits CD

There's this Arsenal bruvahood, you just have this sense of connection even outside the Sports section.
You tend to always try to see reason in their own arguments.
But bumlicking is most def prohibited.

Then there's this Romance section Class of 08.
All we ever do is argue.
In those kinds of threads you just read posts from the people you know and ignore the rest.

Illmatic - Nas
Ready to Die - BIG
