@Badman
Child's talk?
How about talking about pple's yam head?

@Sauron
All this talk over modenine choice of footwear?
One day the guy go vex go buy timbs for Yaba, even if it means he'll have to squat with Terry da Rapman for three months.

@Bajagold
If that's the case, then the comparison is baseless
You can't apply it to the Rugged-Mode thingy since they both have full rights to all their albums.

@Bajagold
Are u on roasted green?
How will you say that one-hit wonder is richer than 'Kiss

Just because you want to make a point doesn't mean you should spew bollocks.

dejiariyo:
ELDEE,u just lost my respect see how the freestyle went

they know me from lagos to south africa,they know me in europe too AND they know me in italy,belgium.pls dont tell me u dont know he is talking about knowing him in lagos,south africa and he said they know me in europe as well,thats made him mentioned italy belgium but u made its look like he started the freestyle by saying europe,belgium and italy, i smell hates in here

You forget the most important part of that line.
The word 'AND'. . .

Dude, it's a no-brainer, 'and' after Europe makes it continue to the next line.
When you say, 'they know me in Europe too, and they know me in Belgium and Italy' you're implying that you're known in three different places, ask any 6th-grader

And dude, I can't hate Modenine, he's a rapper, I'm not in that line . . . gerrit??

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=239274.msg3514730#msg3514730 date=1235579492]I have told you Hip-Hop has few intelligent audience.
Dejiariyo is so daft he couldn't recognise the word play in no-more-loss.
Christ. . . . . . .I think i need to do a Hip-Hop 101 thread for the herbs.

U might as well save Dejiariyo. . . . . .He needs your help.[/quote]Dejiariyo, is just another over-zealous fan
He's not always like this . . .
But Modenine, EA Sport will not solve his own problem easily

dejiariyo:
and pls whats does flexing on the dance floor have to do with nomoreloss?

Dude, you win!!! I can't be bothered, seriously!!!
I give up

dejiariyo:
3)the way we flex on the floor shows that we got no-more -loss

You lot should stop pushing this
For heaven's sake Rugged has many crap lines, but using this one doesn't make sense

Nomoreloss is the producer of the song Baraje and he used the name in the anology, what's wrong with that

Oh, so now Em's not allowed to say 'I rock this ends when Dre's got the beats'??
C'mon

Bamsyle:
Hehehe, I know. And really I know that blings are called 'ice'. But I was just wondering if the word 'entice' does really qualify for blings . . . "attract" - fine, blings attract . . . entice connotes sumn deeper like tempting, alluring . . . a guy could find a pretty woman enticing, a hungred could find food enticing . . . personally, I find blings attractive, not enticing . . .

It's rap anyways . . . and you're expected to rhyme . . . so it's permissible. Anyways, no need to waste time on this, I accept . . .

It's permissible and you should know . . . It's a give and take thing, lyrics and rhythm
You just have to let this one go.

@Sauron
Guy free me abeg, you mean after all the money he spent getting his degree, a couple of thousand pounds will save him??
Nah!!! I'll rather go invest in less fruitless ventures like saving Woolworths

'They know me in Europe and they know me in Italy and Belgium'

Modenine Freestyle

Apparently, nowadays you don't need to study geography to get a degree in Naija
Or what other excuse does Modenine have for not knowing that Italy and Belgium are European countries??
To think he 'grew up in the UK'

Bamsyle:
There are better metas/similies for attraction than blings. Period. If you don't agree, skip and post your anti-Mode lines . . .

Haba, I respect you too much to believe you're doing this
You know you were wrong on that one, just accept correction
_{Besides Rugged has billions of other crap lines for you to choose from}

I seriously don't blame CAN for making that suggestion.
Christian southerners have been pushed to the wall many times, but this is just the height of it.
For heavens' sake. . . idiots are burning people for nothing and the Governor will not even come out to condemn it?? It's outrageous.
Infact, why's CAN still waiting for any stupid bill? Let them do Charles Taylor style and import from neighbouring countries.
These people are milking this 'love your neighbour' thing.
It's high time we started a 'shoot that bigot in the name of Emmanuel' drive

Ireland is too small?
Gimme American Samoa, it'll be fun beating any team 20-0

I'm not talking about sitters, I'm talking bout showing interest. . .
When a talented player consistently gives below-par performances, then there's sumn to worry about.
IMO, the last good game I saw Ade in was West Ham.
When he was brought off the bench with so much expectations.
Since then he's become this post-Mourinho Drogba(a month or two after JM left) that just gets missing in matches and throwing in a stroke of brilliance whenever he feels like.

This dude is quality no doubt but his attitude is shit.
I'll take a VP that'll always give of 100% when he's not injured any day.

@Sauron
I was just trying to make a point.
Look at Stewart Downing and Gareth Barry, they're not as good as Ade, they all want out too, but see the way Downing plays like Boro's chairman donated a kidney to save his mum's life.
And I don't need to say much about Barry but look at Ade, he's sometimes caught on camera ballwatching, refusing to go into tackles and most times halting counters.
And here's sumone that just got a new contract where jobloss is on record highs.

No one says you can't go to Barca, but u're an Arsenal player till summer at least.
I used to wonder how Messi manages to give a 5-star performance in every match till I heard him say: 'Play for the name in front of the shirt and they'll remember the one at the back'
Ade needs to grab a pen and take notes.

Did anyone see how Kings of Leon cleared the Brits?

@FBS
Yeah, They're only human. I'm only human too, but give me £100,000 and I'll at least TRY to be superhuman. Here's an idiot that was a 5 goals-a-season striker before we saved his ass. One good season and he's refusing to run for balls.
We know u're going away but, at least know who's paying your wages. This is why I'll always respect people like JSP and O'shea. Both average players but they give their all in all each and every time they put on that red shirt.

@tolala
Dude are u on roasted spliff??
What, so because I said he was hiphop's CPR, I've become his fan??

And what's wiv the real-fake bollocks u're spewing??

It's easy to see what's what's wrong with hiphop fans, Y'all are scared of change.
That's why every other Nas album is compared to Illmatic.
Here's sumone stealing Grammys from Coldplay and hiphop fans are complaining. Bout a decade ago, Jay-Z was threatening to boycott the same Grammys for not respecting rappers.

Hiphop is Dead has nuffin to do with this. At least we all know Weezy doesn't sound like any other person. Infact he's not like Young Jeezy that compares getting a black president to having blue rims.

@Karmamod
I'm not a Lil Wayne fan
I'm a hiphop fan that adores any rapper that sells double platinum in an era where hitting gold has become an impossible task for most rappers.

@Sauron
He CarterIII were to be a double album, it'll be on 4 mil rite now

Which Jay-Z are u talking about?
Do u mean the one that said 'I do this in my sleep, I sell kilos of coke, I'm guessing I can sell CDs' or the one that goes 'I wish for u a century of success but now's my time'

C'mon Jay-Z's class is the bridge between the part and the future of hiphop.
You know we're going to have to do the i-tunes vigil on the Blueprint3 release day rite?

Eastbay:
Dummy.
CR7 had 31 goals in the Premier league
Adebayor and Torres were tied  for 24.
That makes them joint third.

I rest my case. . .

@HNIC
I can't believe this is the person I've been talking to all this while.
Erm. . . I think his/her brain cell count is inversely proportional to time.
Infact this level of stupidity gives idiocy a bad name

@Javalove
Dude, why'm I even arguing with you, you barely know any other rapper apart from Mode-6

I've argued this out many times with more rap-conscious people and they've not been able to dispute that thesis
At least, the rest saw where I was coming from before they tried to oppose, the only thing you're doing here is reading though your mode-tinted spectacles

As I saidbefore, my case rests!!!

@Sauron
I don't blame you for this Canibus thingy, I blame LL Cool J
If only he didn't give 'Bis a chance to diss him, dude woulda been one of 'em people we only see on Nobodysmiling.com
Wait, 'Bis doesn't even have enough cred to be on that blog . . . damn!!!

@eldee


WORST POST OF THE MILLENNIUM FROM ELDEE

IT AINT CONTROVERSIAL AT ALL!!!!

ITS JUST DUMB!!!!

UN KIDDING ME?

REAL RAPPERS READ WIDE!!!!

A RAPPER NEEDS INTELLIGENCE TO ENHANCE HIS LYRICAL ABILITY!!!!

LYRICS IS IT AND A RAPPER GOING INTO A BOOK TO BRING OUT HIS LYRICS AINT A BAD IDEA, EVEN IF EVERYONE ON EARTH HAS READ THE BOOK!!

My dayzz, so with all your 'Mode-10' 'intelligent lyrics' ejaculations, you just missed the whole point of what I posted??

MY CASE RESTS!!!

I recommend Mr Carter ft Jay-Z

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=235043.msg3478458#msg3478458 date=1234877963]He is. . . . .Weezy is lyrically inept to be winning the grammy awards.
Where would you put this guy in 1996?? He won't even get radio airplays.

Rap needed something new?? I give up!!!
How can u say rap needed Lil Wayne?? Twats needed him not RAP.

Platinum means shyte. . . . .Speakerboxxx(Outkast's album) was certified diamond recently.
Can u work that out in your head??

First class garbage.
2Pac/Biggie will be weeping in their graves. The knowledge they left for upcoming rappers have been thrown into the abyss.[/quote]Jackal, I beg of you, please don't get lost in transition!!!
You say Kanye's weak and now Weezy' crap, c'mon!!!

How can you say hiphop didn't need Lil Wayne??
When last did a hiphop album hit plat?? When last was a hiphop song a real contender for a Grammy??
This dude and Kanye West are thefore-runners of the future of hihop, not Nas, or Fiddy

The hiphop listeners are bored with grumpy ol' Nas and Fiddy's nineteen bullets
The way you say you'll never listen to this, there's a set of people that'll only listen to the 'Golden Age'(Late 80s and Early 90s)
Smart dudes like Jay-Z keep blending with the trend, that's why he 'stays forever like culture'

For goodness' sake, all rappers can't have the same mode of delivery, Weezy's different, and you should be okay with that
I'm okay with anyone that gives hiphop five Grammys.
If everyone's a Talib Kweli, who'll sell?? Erm do you think Pac woulda been selling plats in this era?? I cannot fit to laugh

And technically, Speakerboxx/Love Down Below only sold 5.5million.
It only made diamond because each sale was counted as two.

You lot need to just take the chill pill
Most people judge this dude as the worst thing that's ever happened to hiphop since Soulja Boy

Rap needed something new, it needed diversity, it needed sumn different from the whole 90s style that rappers like Nas have refused to let go of.
Thing is, rap needed Lil Wayne, no matter how hard y'all try to ignore.


It's the diversity that counts. Monotony is possibly the reason why female hiphop is gone.
C'mon, Weezy can't be that bad!!! He gave us our first platinum since Kanye!!!

Man, I got Summer hatin' on me cause I'm hotter then the Sun
Got Spring hatin' on me cause I ain't never sprung
Winter hatin' on me cause I'm colder than you all
And I will never, I will never, I will never fall
I'm being hated by the seasons
So Bleep you all who hatin' for no reason
 


Lil Wayne - Mr Carter

Eastbay:
does it make sense that Africa NEVER gives its awards to players playing on the continent of late?
And for the dmajesty's,the HNICs and the eldees,south America gives it equivalent to players ON their continent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_American_Footballer_of_the_Year

So the question you people should be asking is why Ronaldinho,Ronaldo,Kaka have never won the award?
Hit me back with your answer,as soon as possible.
Then we'll know why CAF always looks so silly.Or does UEFA ever give theirs to players outside Europe?

I'll like to believe that you're not as daft as you're trying so desperately to sound
Why has Ronaldinho not won the award?? BECAUSE IT IS RESTRICTED TO PLAYERS PLAYING CLUB FOOTBALL IN LATIN AMERICA, c'est fini
Africa has it's own version of that award too, Tricky won it, but this one is for players home and abroad, Ade was better

@HNIC
I don't think she's stupid, I think she's just another ignorant hater . . .
It's funny how everyone turned into a 'Keep CAF Clean' campaigner
If this were sum attempt to improve the popularity of the Nation's Cup, then I'm up for it
But then I'll have to ask, what's then the usefulness of the Nation's Cup Most Valuable Payer Award??

@Bamsyle
It's controversial bruv . . . you're not allowed too agree 100%

Although I see where you're coming from, maybe 'solely' was the wrong word to use, but it's still one of the major reasons
If everyone came out spewing 'New World' like Nas, no one will shift when Canibus talks about Chemical Evolution
Do you get me??

Let's look at punk rock as a case study . . . this genre of music started as a form of resistance to the hegemonic ideology of our consumer culture
So it's easily understandable that they had to study hard, read bout the economy before they spew anything
Their target was the average middle-class youth. Now tell me, will anyone take Coldplay's Viva La Vida as 'deep shit'??
The obvious answer is NO!!! Everyone else does the same thing, and yeah, the audience already read bout that in school and the other five agents of socialization.

Compare that to hiphop. A rapper spews sumn and the wisdom-thirsty part of the audience go 'damn . . . dude's deep'
That's what Jay-Z means when he says 'Cause you don't understand him it don't mean that he nice'

Eastbay:
so what happens to Aboutrika?
He had a better season than adebayor.
Adebayor was playing the mafia by fighting Togo FA.What the hell did he do for his national teAM?
You all talk about his 30 goals.For Christ's sake,where did it get him?

CAF has this inferiority complex.They are not proud of their own.abou is by far the best player from the continent;home or abroad.

The last comment on your argument aptly fits where it originated from:roadside mechanic shade.and I don't want to believe you emerged from their,fixing someone's car.
Egypt is by no means a footballing backwater.
They have pedigree.And we have to reckon with that fact.
Aboutrika,for all those uninformed goons,has been around for the better part of 5 seasons,winning trophies Adebayor can only fantasize about.
Your Adebayor wasn't even in Ghana.what nonsense is this all about?Can't CAF even make their own awards credible?or is the Nations Cup insignificant/

First of all, I'll ignore the fact that you were the one that made the 'he was outscored by a midfielder comment'

Now let me face this Abou-tricky thing
Do you lot realise that this is an INDIVIDUAL award??
Aboutrika won the CAF Champions League with Al-Ahly, any idiot will win the CAF Champions League with Al-Ahly
It's just like praising Anderson for winning the Portugese League with Porto . . . c'mon!!!
How can you call that a better season??

Ade was the joint-top striker in the best league in the world, first 20 goal-a-season striker in the EPL since Henry and you tell me he doesn't deserve it??
He didn't go to the ACN, so what?? Should he nationalize back to Nigeria because the remaining 15 players in his team don't know how to kick a ball??

By your own logic, Xavi should be the Ballon d'Or winner, afterall, he won the Euros, innit??
Let's just forget players contribution to their clubs, even if they put top-draw performances againt big teams like AC Milan.

And there's one thing you said again, Aboutrika's winning trophies Adebayor can only fantasize about??
Ade took his team to the World Cup singlehandedly, that spits on any trophy Tricky's ever won against Yaounde FC.
Where did 30 goals get him?? Adebayor is rated above Rooney, and Henry on World Footballer of the year rankings, you can't buy that!!!
Riquelme is rated amongst the best in the world so we know FIFA's not being unfair, WHERE IS TRICKY ON THAT LIST

@Dmajesty
Well said . . . If CAF Champions League becomes the best club competition in the world tomorrow, then the award will got to the best performers in that league
But for now, the people that get the awards have to show what they are in the best leagues in the world.

There's a reason why South American players like Riquelme, left their mother's food to come and show their worth on the world stage before going back.

Lil Wayne brought sumn hiphop has been missing for years . . . INNOVATION!!!
This dude gave hiphop a CPR. In a period when rappers bored the listeners Weezy stepped up to become the face of hiphop to the outside world.

He might not be rap's best lyricist but he's one of the few reasons why hiphop is still being nominated for album of the year at the Grammys.

Billboard says 70% of hiphop listeners are white, bad as it may sound. . . they're the ones paying the piper. And Weezy's most def hitting those tunes. So why shouldn't he get his Grammy?

Erm I heard sumone saying sumn bout Ade being second to a midfielder. This same midfielder outscored every striker in Europe.
This same midfielder is the best player in the world. And wait, didn't he outscore Torres too?
Adebayor was rated among the top 15 players in the world, where was Tricky? He was in Egypt winning the CAF Champion's League against Heart of Oak while Ade was scoring in UEFA.

Ade hoisted the African flag more than anyone else with 24 goals against the likes of Man Utd. He deserves this. . .
Erm, he won it already.

Ras Pwn:
^^^
People who say things like "take it back to the streets" or "street cred" actually don't care about lyrics, they care about the beat. Using that logic, those who care about the beat are the illiterate ones and those who care about the lyrics are the smart ones. Case Closed.

Now, this is where you selective cognition comes to the forefront
Do you want me to quote Nas here??
Oh, now Nas does not care about lyrics??

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=228560.msg3462826#msg3462826 date=1234481775]This is where Canibus is different from your average rapper like Jigga, DMX or Fiddy.

He was spitting on Moore's law, Levinson's time equations, LeMarketson's theory, Astronomy!!!
Go and listen to "Cemantics" and understand why intellectuals will rather listen to a rapper spitting on magnetohydrodynamic mechanics.
Polymers, L and D sudunits of polymers.
If u listen to any CD of Bis'. . . . .U would be opening ur dictionary or googling every verse to understand the concept of his music.
I learnt more from Bis than the boring lectures in ma Uni [/quote]Exactly my sentiments!!!
In the city of blind men, the one-eyed man is the KING.

Please, try to interpret the following passage
Magenetohydrodynamic mechanics

There's more to the human race than
polymers proteins and protocells
Chemical evolution, L- and D-form sudunits
That come from the love of Hip Hop and Rap music
                                                                              -Canibus

This is exactly what I was saying, Canibus prolly opened a book and draws ot all the words he can't explain
Then people go . . . 'Awww . . . deep shit'
But nah, sumone else will go to school and study that and much more

Oi, gimme smooth flow wth on-point delivery bruv, that's what you're bleeping paid for!!!
I already learnt about Chemical Evolution at school.

Ras Pwn:
No disrespect bro but while this is the most controversial thing you ever said, it also happens to be the dumbest thing I've ever read. I've never heard anyone call Common black man's CNN and the last time I checked, a lot of hip-hop heads still regarded KRS-One as a crazy conspiracy theorist.

You never heard anyone call Common the Black Man's CNN so that means it's never been said??
Aight then, at least you must have heard Chuck D say hiphop is Black America's link to information??
But wait a minute, are you just interested in talking bout who said what??

Ras Pwn:
I listen to music for entertainment but I also want to get the feeling that the musician is creative with his lyrics. The extra points come if the musician is socially conscious, not because I'm not educated but because I love some substance.

If you were as literate as you claim to be, you'll have been able to discern the obvious fact that my post was directed at people that claim to be 'inclined to music on the intellectual level'.
Did you see Sauron's post claiming that he learnt more from Canibus than he did from Uni??
Since you, like myself, place social consciousness as an extra, I see no point in arguing with you.

Ras Pwn:
To disprove your point completely, I'll point out that the uneducated people who listen to hiphop don't listen to KRS-one or Common, they listen to Soulja Boy.

Are you having a laugh?? Erm, what's Street Cred??
What do rappers mean when they use phrases like 'realest nigga' and 'take it back to the street'??
Ohh . . . you think they mean y'all middle-class uni graduates listening to hiphop on your blackberry??

Once again you missed my point, I clearly stated that I was talking about the uneducated ones that want to sound intelligent
And yeah, I'm talking about 'em ones that know they don't need to go to school when they can easily blame 'the system'
I'm talking about the KRS-One fanbase that wanted to boycott Nelly's album for sum reason I'll never understand

I know this might be the most controversial thing I've ever spewed on this forum, but, fact is, there is only one reason why lyrical content is important to the critical reception of hiphop.
It's because half the artists and listeners are uneducated anyways. Kinda like the proverbial city of blind men.
This is the reason why people are praised for spewing what another person already learnt from reading books and watching CNN.
Why do y'all think Common's called Black Man's CNN?? Because the black man will refuse to go to school in order to understand CNN, but then he'll come back and listen to KRS-One and claim he's deep.

Nas comes out to scream Hiphop Is Dead and errone goes, 'damn, this is soo deep' . . . fcukin hell, in the educated circles, it's called the incorporation of subcultures by the ruling class and they've sure predicted it since God knows when.

For you lot, when you're inclined towards intellect, you listen to rap, for other people, they read wide, watch educative stuff, and sumtimes GO TO SCHOOL and then listen to hiphop as a form of entertainment.

Yeah, Obama's best musician is Jay-Z, but nope, he didn't get his silky communication abilities and encyclopedic brains from Hov, he got it from freaking Havard Law School.
So when next you think you're on sum 'high intellectual level' cus you're listening to Thugz Mansion, ask yourself if you've gotten any smarter than all those CEOs of multimillion dollar companies that will rather listen to Jazz.

@Bamsyle
I'm not telling you to get off the fence, I just want you to agree that in this 'Lyrics Vs Rhythm' argument;

One of them is what coined the term 'hiphop'
One of 'em is the reason why we recognise hot ish
One of 'em is responsible for the careers of 8 out of people we rank top 10
One of them is the reason why Hiphop is a multi-million dollar industry
One of them is what makes hiphop music
Hell . . . one of them is the reason why music is a universal language!!!

You think Hiphop is dead?? Hiphop will be confined to the streets of Brooklyn if it were not for the rhythm.
Do you know hiphop, like grime originated from parties??
I read of how sum smart bloke just started mixing words over beats praising the DJ

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=228560.msg3451299#msg3451299 date=1234276038]Please do that and i will tell you Canibus whups anyone with his pin-point delivery.
How can anyone say Bis' delivery is not on point. . . . . The fact that majority of hip-hop listeners are illiterate does not make Canibus wack.[/quote]Beasts from the East bruv . . . Beasts from the East
Listen to my argument first bro, I said, the only reason Eminem is rated higher than Canibus is because Em's delivery is superior, c'est fini
Prove me wrong!!!
