Gosh,now I see why I run from this thread.  .  .essay-type arguments And the occupants are always so dead serious

This thread is one-in-town. It is full of intellectual heavyweights. You will fit right in. Na only mafioso we dey allow here, not that nonsense thread of yours run by that idiot that likes talking about spermflakes and other nonsense yarns.

@FBS

Rijkaard is rubbish mehn. There is no difference between Rijkaard and LFS. Too much pass-pass, not enough aggression in their football and not enough pressing, plus defencely they were a shambles. Thats not the kind of manager we need in the Prem, otherwise, we might as well call Ruud Gullit to come back and manage us. Rijkaard was just lucky to have the best players in the World at his club at a particular time. It is absolutely criminal that he did not win more than he did. As soon as Henk Ten-Cate left, Barcelona fell apart. The players lost fitness and sharpness. As Ronaldinho and Deco said, Ten-Cate was the best coach they had ever worked with cos he pushed them everyday. We saw the same at Chelsea where he nearly got into a fight with Terry because he pushed Mikel so hard to improve the speed of his passing. Mikel refused to learn, that is why Ten-Cate focused on him. Till today, Mikel is still playing those lazy side passes. It was a big mistake for Scolari to sack Ten-Cate and Steve Clarke. Clarkey was very good at organising the defence. That idiot Ray Wilkins has nothing to offer. He is not intense enough - too much laughter and joke. We need a better assistant.

It is important to differentiate between the rhythm of a beat and the rhythm of a flow.

That a beat has a good rhythm says nothing about the rapper, rather it says more about the producer.

However, the rhythm of the flow is more important than the lyrics. Big Pun is better than Canibus anyday, but Canibus got more lyrics.

The best rhythymist is HipHop are the likes of Saigon, Crooked I, Jadakiss, (old) Jay Z etc. Combine these artists rhythm with their penchant for dope lyrics and that is what makes them great emcees.

Scolari is a South American in a European game. . . . he must adapt or die. . . . . we all prefer patience. . . . my patience will only last till the end of the season, after which he will be judged. . . . anything less than third position and a semi-final in CL and he gotta go. . . . .

Scolari's team is easy to break down because THERE IS TOO MUCH SPACE BETWEEN THE LINES! Too much space between the wingers and the strikers, too much space between Mikel and the defenders, leaving us fatally exposed to the counterattack. Either this is a lack of fitness on the part of the players, or a lack of proper tactical planning. Either way, it is the coaches fault because he is responsible for preparing them fitness-wise. This is not 2002. Football has moved on. The average midfielder should be running at least 12km a game, not 9km as in 2002. I think football has left Scolari behind.

I want counter-attacking football, so all these spaces between the lines are limited. Not all out attack, where teams find it easy to pick us off. The reason we are missing chances is because it is harder to score in tight spaces. On the counter-attack, you don't need 10 or 11 chances, just 3 or 4. The more space there is, the more easy it is for attackers to set themselves and work out their angles.

I am not watching the game. . . . just following your comments on here. . . . could someone tell me why Q was substituted?

My friend, shaaaaaaaaaarrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!!!!!!

Big Pun was my man!


Anyway, even with the money, anyone who thinks this girl is stunning needs specsavers. She is very bland! And mind you, this is her best picture. Na so Naija girls don digress sotay Naija guys dey gbadun this chick? There must be a famine in Naija.

Who talk say the girl fine?

The girl no fine at all. Very bland.

My guy, what is the point of this? Please alert EFCC if you are serious about tackling corruption, and stop violating this lady's right to privacy.

I personally know the children of ex-Governors of Imo and Rivers State and they are nice and friendly, and do not deserve this kind of public violation. Please stop all this nonsense.

A Keynesian stimulus without trade-protectionism is no Keynesian stimulus at all. Free trade just defeats the purpose. I believe this nonsense came about because Europe protested so loudly, in light of the agreement between countries last year not to practice protectionism as a response to the crisis.

I suggest the following:

If you can help us with this small matter, you shall achieve martyrdom. Don't worry, we will plead for God's clemency when you reach purgatory. Cheers!

For the records Ibime, I want to believe you understand how that came about?

Sorry, I haven't been following the thread. Very busy.


For the records, abi for the record. Be careful o! Debosky is watching!  

nateevs:
@FBS

It is very CRUSIAL to make a fool of itself. . . . . always!. . . . don't mind it!. . . just ignore it!

O-boy why you dey spell crucial like this na? You want make Debosky catch you?

tkb417:
well said. 4play is a guru in everything.
Jakumo the english master? what about the man who invented Grammar

We should organise a 'grammar' battle between Debosky and Jakumo.

If Debosky like make in vex, but my money is on Jakumo. Debosky never complete PHD, but Jakumo na Professor Emeritus.

tangent:
@ ibime, what is ipopo/onunu?

lol. Onunu is the best food known in Rivers and Bayelsa. You can only eat it twice a year if you are lucky.

Never ask a Rivers man to share his onunu. It might result in manslaughter.

There is a thread on it here:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-79932.0.html

bawomolo:
Seun sure had reasons for making this unpopular decision.

RichyBlack is a good mod as far as I am concerned. It is refreshing to have different mods with different political views. First it was Kobojunkie, now it is RichyBlack from the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

@ topic,

Of course people are concerned because the same rocket technology that dispatch the satellites into space can be used to dispatch nuclear missiles. One of the debates about Pakistans nuclear arsenal was that they lacked an aqequate missile-delivery system. The whole world laughed when Iran photoshopped their last rocket launch, but they sure aint laughing now.

This latest development just shows the need for the much criticised 'son of star wars' project. In this aspect, George Bush was a visionary.

Me believes that Iran is just jostling for a strong position at the table of international politics. Ahmadinejab said as much during his speech. However, all his talk of 'monotheism' only makes niccas nervous.

We (MEND) will send a delegation to Imo state to teach them how to profit from this new development.

Tatase:
I don't know if it's the same guy you're thinking about, but on Daniel Bedingfield's first album, the song called "Right Girl" featured someone called Jahaziel (who did the rap part, I think).

Yeah thats him. He's done songs with Monica, Lemar, Raghav and even a Mariah Carey remix. He used to work with Blacksmiths, the producers and they hooked him up with a lot of famous people. His uncle is also Maxi Priest, the famous Reggae singer.

Quaresma may flop, but he surely cannot flop as much as Malouda. If only he will stop being selfish and stop crossing the ball with the outside of his foot, that boy has the natural talent to be anything he wants to be.

dayokanu:
Somze,
How come Quaresma was voted the worst player of the Serie A under Jose Mourinho?
Why wasnt his talent brought out under Jose?

You cannot help but laugh at the irony in Somze's post. JM is responsible for Joe Cole's good form form but he has no responsibility in Quaresma's poor form. What a juxtaposition. He then quotes a blog saying that JM's tactical nous will bring out the best in Quaresma, then turns around and says that JM is absolved of all blame for Quaresma's poor performance. One couldn't contradict himself so superbly in the same post if he tried. I hope he knows that Quaresma cost Inter £25m, and that is not the kind of money you waste on an unsure gamble. Maybe Avram Grant and LPS are also responsible for Malouda's form as Somze once suggested, by stating that Malouda would have played better under JM. Anyway, I can't blame him. JM is a God to some men.

@ Nateevs & Akola

Grant did not use that formation. Grant played SWP as a CENTRAL MIDFIELDER in the months of December and January. I clearly remember our formation cos I was at the Bridge twice during that period. Sidwell only played one or two games. This deployment of SWP as a CENTRAL MIDFIELDER was what Debo was talking about when he said LPS lacks ideas. It was SWP who saved our season in those winter months.

When Essien left for ANC, Mikel was held back for a further 2 weeks. This was our formation:



-----------------------------------Mikel---------Ballack/Sidwell-----------------------

-------------------------------------------SWP--------------------------------------------

           Joe Cole---------------------------------------------------------Malouda

----------------------------------------Pizarro--------------------------------------------


Before Ballack came back from his injury, Sidwell or Essien played his position. I believe Maka was injured and just returned to take Mikel's place as Mikel left for the ANC.

Lamps was out for two months.

Before Malouda came back, Kalou also occupied the left-wing position.

Hilario was also in goal for almost a whole month, and Belletti was at RB.

We played our best football last season when SWP played as an AM. The speed with which he ran from midfield to join Pizarro brought a different dimension to our game, which disappeared when everyone returned for the Carling Cup final which we promptly lost.

With SWP in central midfield, we went 2 months unbeaten, winning almost every game. I myself could not believe that SWP would be so useful to Chelsea after being a wastepipe for the 2 years prior. It was a moment of tactical genius by Avram Grant.

This is what Debo is talking about. Why does Scolari not try something different. How about playing Belleti on the right-wing and moving Kalou to the left. Or Miroslav Stoch? How about playing Ivanovic at RB and moving Bosingwa to right midfield until we get someone capable to replace Malouda? For how long must we suffer that idiot Malouda?

Ha! Beat me to it!

BBC:

1741: Both Portuguese and Italian press are saying that Ricardo Quaresma to Chelsea from Inter Milan is a done deal, but we are very much yet to hear that from either club, so we'll keep you posted.

Quaresma has been excluded from Inter's Champions League squad.

The last rumour I heard had him linked with Spurs.

If he is coming to Chelsea, I would be very happy. Hopefully we can get the best out of him cos he has been abysmal at Inter. Still better than Malouda though!

You would be surprised who I've bumped heads with. Just ask anyone who used to go to Subterranea. Thats where London's HipHop community used to hang out. Meeting Sway, Estelle, Mudfam and many other cats who are still bubbling under the surface was a weekly occurence. Like I told you, a lot of these folk came from the London HipHop scene.

Jahaziel is the best rapper in UK, gospel or no gospel.

J is a good friend of mine, very strong Christian. We used to spit together at Church.

I was with him when he wrote that verse. Back then, we used to write rhymes together - he inspired a lot of my rhymes, and likewise, I would like to believe I inspired him a bit, but his flow is extra-terrestrial.

Later, I shall upload pictures from a show we did at a youth club.

MrCrackles:

Nah bruv shut ur gobby mouth!

They dont need no training, its the style of rap dude, so chill the fuc.k out

List any other rappers that do the shit around in London? I double dare you!

All dem cats are grime maestros~Dizzee, Wiley, JME, So Solid, Dynamite, Lady Soveriegn, Sway, Skepta, Griminal, Kano, Ndubz, Chippy, Tinchy, IceKid etc

Rap in London is locked down by Grime cats, might differ in other countries, u gotta respect them coz dey not riding on America's dic.k

How dare you diss GRIME? They dont do copycat shit or wannabee kicks, so they invented and trust me itz kosher around here

And who the fuc,.k is IBIME anyway? dat dude notorious for chatting gibberish, pilfering rhymes, and jacking flows? Oh i get it, u got nothing on 'em!

Manna u dont have to like grime, but dont chat shit man, coz at the end of the day, no other type of rappers hold it down better in London and the UK!

My friend sharrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap dia!

Naija boy don miss road!

Since when was Sway grime?

Back in the day when I used to bump heads with Sway at Subterranea, Sway was a solid battle rapper. Go and ask Sway who won Battlescars 2001 rap battle tournament. Yes, it was Sway himself. Sway has more talent in his pinky finger than all the above mentioned put together. How can you mention Grime and not mention Kano and Ghetts, the two most talented Grime artists? They shouldn't even be placed in the same category with all the nonsense you mentioned above. Thats because they received their training in HipHop before switching to Grime, just like Sway.

And NDubz are extremely talented - but there is nothing Grime about them. They are rappers.

Like I said, Grime artists are mostly wack. No wonder your texts stink of mono-syllabic garbage! 

How can Ibime pilfer flows? Who the phock is MrCrackles anyway to even address Ibime?

WTF is Grime? Grime is just Garage reinvented. It has no pull outside the ghetto chav community.

The original poster is asking for Naija rappers in London, not Naija Grime artists in London.

MrCrackles:
Stop chatting dumb-ballz!

How dare you say BoyBetterKnow~(JME and Skepta) are wack?

Dem boys do grime and itz big in london, SE originated shit, dont test it bruv!!

We do grime, and we will murk any fucking dimwit around Nigeria because we make sense!!

My list,

JME Adenuga
Skepta Adenuga
Brash Adeleye

U know what it is!!

My friend sharrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap dia!

So you are one of those 'yeah blood' boys!

Those guys need to go back to training and learn how to rap from basics again.

Grime? WTF is Grime? Grime is the last recourse of a talentless hoodlum.

When you see those boys, tell them Ibime from Nairaland said it.
