And how is this topic misleadin'?
Aint the gist bout a gospel singer that did collabo wit an islamic singer?
your point is pointless joorr.

Error . . . that's after I changed the topic to 'Muslim Artist Does Collabo With Gospel Singer Deola'.

Now bow and kiss the mofucking ring.

[quote author=Bamsyle. link=topic=492996.msg6600050#msg6600050 date=1282214282]Nigerians only??

I'm disappointed.

I've taken my art across borders . . .  [/quote]It's Nairaland . . . I'm giving you the ones you can contact.
Book a holiday and let me show you how we London boys ball round here . . . Chamo and Sly (my understudies) have a better CV than your whole clique.

[quote author=Bamsyle. link=topic=492996.msg6600050#msg6600050 date=1282214282]You goofed . . .

People see and complain . . . that's why songs and vids get banned e'rrday cos of raunchy content . . .

Need examples?? The Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) recently banned these for vulgarity and indecency: "Enter the Place (2face), "Dance for Me" (Duncan Mighty), "Suddenly" (D'banj), "Nwa Baby" (Flavours), "Baby Konga" (Konga), Ekaette (Maye Hunter) . . . (^{not that I agree with NBC on all of 'em though})

And that's Nigeria alone.

This is 2010 . . . both NBC and the National Film and Videos Censors Board (NFVCB) are watchin' keenly like eagles . . . off the top of ma head, I can list 10 vids (home vids and musicals) recently banned by the NFVCB . . .[/quote]Hehehe . . . beep, deviation.
I said, the only area being attacked is music . . . becase they are an easy target.
Nobody does ish to the Armani adverts and movies like The Reader and Sex and The City air in Nigeria.
Besides, Nigeria is extremely conservative . . . 'that's Nigeria alone' comment doesn't work.

It's a misleading topic . . . I'm changing it beacause people like you judge books by their covers.

The same way you don't agree with them, other people dont agree with you. . . it's a free modern world.

DBR:
I shud READ b i talk? i tot u just said i READ top emcees. . .mcheeewww.
The headin {which i READ} says TOP EMCEES, the body gives reason y M.i thinks they are TOP{he's feeling them}.
Sound pretty simple, doesnt it. Wat makes u feel the i shud disregard the header and just stick to the body of the message
when they go togeda and make sense togeda? Na wa ooo

As long as the direct quote from M.I on the thread never said 'top', then the topic is misleading. Every Ofoka, Rhymestein and Tavarez knows that.
That's why I usually go about the section changing topics that are misleading . . . like I did with the Deola thread.

The Dagrin thread . . . it said 'Dagrin involved in Fatal Accident' . . . I had to modify it to serious, Why?? Because he wasn't dead according to the body of the post. Now if I didn't modify it, people would have though he died three days earlier if they used your logic.
Now I should go about doing it on every thread, but I've got this thing called a life.

DBR:
U so talented in stringing bad analogies together.
Think bout wat u just typed and pick the error of comparison in it by urself
and come back to say. . "ma bad".

M.I felt Pope in 2010, Saucekid didn't feel Nas, said he was a mediocre emcee.
M.I is important to Nigerian hiphop, so is Saucekid . . .neither of them represents views of Nigerians.

Forgive me for making your misyarn public knowledge.

DBR:
Warcraft finale battle sounds a good idea.
But i dont quite get the cypher bit of it with the stuff i sent u.
Can u gimme more info bout it in ma mail?
Good lookin .

oNe

TBH, I don't even know what I wanna do with it . . . I just want Warcraft to end on a high.
I'll try to get y'all on a YIM conference to brainstorm.

[quote author=Bamsyle. link=topic=492996.msg6599484#msg6599484 date=1282208487]This debate has been swung in a bazillion directions and as such, the major thrust has been missed . . .

It ain't about civilization or westernization . . . if it was, I'll have been the first person to remind y'all bout the Garden of Eden . . .

It's about folks selling mediocre works through a cheap avenue - SEX . . .

What's commercial about the vid you posted Mr Lekside??[/quote]That's what we [b]sexy [/b]activists have been trying to drum into y'all's ears.
The fact that modern day hiphop videos are just a cheap target because of the success it has brought to a few people.

No one complains about the fact that everything these days is marketed using sex . . . toothpaste ads used to be people flashing teeth with CGI sparks, now it's guys saving bikini-clad chics at beaches. When last did you see a movie without a sex scene??
But no one complains about the other parts of our lives . . . because it's easy to attack the young black rapper that would have had to turn to drugs if he didn't make money in the rap game.

@Crizzy

One new addition to this is that at a point in the H-2-H league, the top eight teams in the league will be entered into the knockout stages.
They will battle each other and like the World Cup one will mean winning the H-2-H Cup.

DBR:
Eldee,
it's so simple.
M.i put his opinion out in the public definately pple will make
comment either for or against it. Both have equal right to.

Mi's opinion is about a pple in genre of music IN a country.
Im here statin ma OWN opinion bout it and u busy menstrating over it.
Sayin it's M.i's opinion not mine while u killin urself over mine, how ironic.

I never said you shouldn't comment . . . Infact the main reason I felt the need to quote you was the fact that you referred to me in you post.
I only corrected your misinformed stance on the matter.
You read top emcees in Nigeria, I pointed out the fact that it says 'favourite' in the post. . . instead of accepting your mistake, you say nah, 'Eldee is on dumb mode'.
I don't care about you making comments relating to Eldee's 'mental aperture' or 'comprehension deficit' . . . just read before you talk.

DBR:
If u cant fathom how an opinion of a respected person who reps. a genre can be seen
as valid then i got no more words for u. I'l quite pardon your comprehension deficit.

It is valid, it is respected but it does not represent Nigeria or Nigerians as you implied.
As I said, Saucekid thinks Nas is mediocre, but there's prolly more Nas fans in Nigeria than America.

Especially when the person uses the words . . . 'people I feel' and not 'best/top'.

DBR:
Movin on. . .
did u see wat i sent to your yahoomail??

oNe

Just saw it . . .
I was planning to do a Warcraft Finale battle . . . which will prolly mean the end of an era.

I'm thinking of doing a cypher thingy with that, what do you think??

obinna5000:
@eldee
Equally! But make them no do rubbish sequels for either "Inception" or "The Dark Knight".

Erm . . . the Dark Knight is technically a sequel.

obinna5000:
@eldee
I will still be saying it for a lifetime. I like both "Inception" and "The Dark Knight".

Equally??

obinna5000:
@eldee
I like both "Inception" and "The Dark Knight".

Let's see if you're still saying this next year.
Dark Knight will still stay longer than Inception in everyone's lists.

googles:


anything for this killer video we want to make o

oya where do we start from? basics ??

We start from the top . . . yeah, you take it off.

v3:
@eldee
75% ? I was thinking 80 and above from you.
Yes the movie had alot of people on their seats but init the same thing with Matrix? Yes, some of us had to watch it more than once to fully get the message but aren't movies supposed to make u "think"?
^{My 2 naira, 50 kobo sha}

I'm not a big fan of sci-fi movies . . . their biggest selling points are based on B.S like HD cameras and CGI.

But do you think Inception will still remain on Dark Knight level this time next year??

googles:


lepa wiv bumps up and down. . . . if yuh know wah i mean  

Erm . . . you need to come one hour early for rehearsals so I'll have enough time to make sure you're erm well rounded.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=492996.msg6595604#msg6595604 date=1282155960]like i said earlier, stuff like this is just a side effect of allowing young kids to run d show.
what is d average age of musicians nowadays?

one of the simplest solutions is 4 there to be a age quota system in d media. ie your not allowed to produce a music video if an adult of 40yrs or more is not involved.
ghollywood need that quota system especially with all their indecency movies nowadays. all their crew are as young as the movie plot is senseless.[/quote]Stereotypically misinformed comments. . . the real people that run the show are multi-millionaire board members of companies like Warner Bros and Def Jam.
They decide what happens . . . the musicians are just pawns.
They know what sells and what doesn't . . . they choose what to sell t what set of people.

If we stopped liking sex and went celibate . . . they'll stop making raunchy videos.

DBR:
So i shud ref. wat U read on twitters insteadof wat is on this board? Hmmmm,
Uninformed?? wat are u high on? That the poster tagged d topic 2010 Top Rappers?
So that part is irrelevant, but the part that pushes your own narrow view is much relevant?
oh, i forgot, it's eldee. Na your way nauww. . .

“So My Fav rappers this year,  Naija of course,  No beef please just gisting, ”, he started.

That's what is on this board . . . I only said you should read what's on the board before coming to make obviously misinformed comments.
In all honesty, the topic of the thread is irrelevant if it says sumn different in the post.
Read the first post . . . it's not like I asked you to stop global warming.

DBR:
There's a set of pple i tot shud be on the list?? And that's y i made ma own observations known?
Now seriously i wish truly im insulting your intelligence but u aint even giving me anythin to insult.
Wat a baseless assumption, it was the poster tht said; Expected names like Modenine,  brother Jesse Jagz were missing not me.
Any sensible person will see the validity of ma points.
Plus, i said this aint a serious list. Even M.i said no beef, just gisting.
He put it out knowin pple will comment, it's u and your likes catchin feelings over pples comments.

People like me will comment?? I saw the whole list, I didn't agree with the list . . . but I saw 'fave rappers for 2010' and it stopped being my business.
Criticising the list by saying 'it's only i naija that we see a list of top artist for a year and half of 'em dont even have any decent material out for the year in view, beats me' . . .and you turn around to say I'm making assumptions??
You must think you're talking to Kaydee or sumn.

DBR:
I dont kno y u either by choice by default just switch to dumb mode cos u wanna hav a POV, really.
So when Jay, or Em, Nas and the likes mention who their Favs are
it has no reference to their country cos it's their opinion?
There are pple whose opinion shift things, and their view and opinion
on a subject ref. the state of what they talkin bout in their society, ok.

M.i  fan as u claim to be, seems u dont even know the position M.i now
occupies in the scheme of things as per Hiphop in naija.

plus did u miss when M.i himself said: So My Fav rappers this year,  Naija of course.
So he recognizes where he operatin in, so is it wrong for me to mention naija in me post??
I think not.

oNe

Stop chatting bollocks abeg . . . Jay-Z's opinions are not America's opinions.

Saucekid made comments about Nas the other day . . . does that in anyway have anything to do with what Nigerians think of Nas??
Or doesn't Saucekid stand somewhere in the 'scheme of things' of Nigerian hiphop??
Kanye said Soulja Boy was the next Nas . . . does that represent America's views??

And I'm the one that went into dumb mode. . .

Wat i saw is Jesse Jagz and Modenine Didn’t Make M.I.’s 2010 Top Rappers.

Abeg . . . stop clinging to irrelevant ish . . . I got that from his Twitter page.
But even on this thread, it said 'my favourite for 2010' . . . what does 'favourite' mean in your part of the world??
Next time . . . don't jump into a topic without reading the first post . . . uninformed comments ridicule your posts.

DBR:
Plus i didnt say it had to mine, i havnt made any list DBR 2010 top rappers public yet so quit smokin that veg boy

Stop insulting my intelligence . . . there is a set of people you thought should be on the list, M.I didn't have them, hence all the bitching on this thread.
If you don't like M.I's list, go make your own on Twitter, I'll beg Questionmark.com to report it.

Cars are an expression of style heck its even a bait these days to get girls so incorporating unclothed chics in car ads are not as off the mark as you think
