Billyonaire: Fela because he is dead.

airmark: Nigga raw : Stoopid name and his rap is too boring

AjanleKoko: I think I started a thread on this section once about the excellenc(e)(y) of the 90s, and the relevance to Music.

In the 90s, my religion was rap. A little bit of dance music as well, but mostly rap. The soulfulness of the poetry arrested me.
My timeline was something like Soul 2 Soul, C&C Music Factory,Vanilla Ice, Kool Moo Dee, Fresh Prince, Rock Base, Hammer ('90), NWA, Ice Cube, Snap, Ghetto Boyz & Naughty By Nature in '91.

92-94 and the entire rap scene went up ten notches. Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg,The Dogg Pound, Jeru, Jungle Brothaz, KRS One, Chubb Rock, Heavy D, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Nas, Pharcyde, Eric Sermon, Diggable Planets, a Tribe Called Quest, House of Pain, Onyx, and so many others. They rocked each and every joint. Those three years I still consider to be the Golden Age of Rap. Lyrics were pure, beats were eclectic. I was an undergrad then, and suffered irreparable damage to my GPA as a result of being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of talent.

95 was an in-between year. 96-98 was somewhat split between the West Coast ('Pac), East Coast (Biggie also known as the greatest lyricist of all time), and The Fugees. 99 was when rap started to go south, ending in the much-reviled Southern Crunk. In 2012, I watch Weezy on stage, and shake my head in regret. Why did the 90s have to end?

Kay-Dee:
I like them both (Pac and BIG) and I see their styles of rapping differently just like JayZ and Nas.
I started listening to rap in the early 90s : LL Cool, NWA, Snoop, Dre, Ice Cube, Naughty by Nature, KrissKross (I watched their first video on black and white TV ), etc etc - cant remember a lot of names right now. After the death of BIG and 2PAC, the quality of rap music peaked around 98/99 with the Fugees (as a group and their solo albums), Puffy and Mase tearing up the charts in their shiny suits, Busta Rhymes, Nas coming back with "I am" and Nastradamus, JayZ with the Hard knock life and "Life and Times of S. Carter", LL was back on the scene with a couple of albums, the noisy DMX was on top of his game, the white boy Eminem on MTV wowing every1, Big Pun, Fat Joe, Jarule (was wack and noisy but i liked him anyway),LOX, Common, Talib, Mobb Deep,Mos Def, Canibus (was always goin to be a flash in the pan). Lots of mixtapes (Sound Bomber, FMF, Violators, lyricist lounge) with underground rappers that made a lot of sense, the comical Red and Methodman, Wutang, et, etc. Then came the JayZ and Nas beef (Blueprint vs Stillmatic) in the early 2000s and 50 cents with his loud mouth and since then i hear the wackest things pumping out of my radio; sadly hiphop is finally dead.

**Nas fan to the core but that ni99a has totally lost the magic touch he used to possess**.

Sprumbaba: Is your road better than the one in the US. Do you have electricity 24/7 like you get in the US. Government should focus more on infrastructural development. What our Government does is formulate policies for citizens to follow but they fail citizens by not providing basic amenities.

CrazyMan: Meanwhile, former Lagos State Commissioner for PublicTransportation, Dr. Segun Ogundimu, has asked Fashola to stop pursuing commercial motorcyclists, popularly called okada riders but face real issues in the state.
Ogundimu, at a press conference in Lagos onSunday, said, “The traffic law as it relates to the okada operators should not make you lose sight of the necessity to protect the travelling public.
“You must do something about real issues in the state rather than pursue okada riders all over the place.”
He said the force with which the restriction of okadas on some routes was being enforced was like “killing an ant with a sledge hammer”.
Ogundimu said during his era as commissioner, the challenges of okada riders were not different from what obtained currently.
He said a very sizeable number of operators were unemployed school leavers, some of whomare graduates, were non-indigenes who hadnoticed the yawning gap in the state’s supply side of public transportation.
Therefore, the operators, he said, had taken up the gauntlet to tackle the challenge created by the inadequate supportfor the travelling public.
He said with the restriction and strict enforcement, the increasing tendencies of operators to be hired by negative groups to perpetrate nefarious activities to people of questionable characters were high.
Ogundimu said okada remained the only viable and swift means of affordable public transportation in Lagos today.
