Yeah i have been wondering.Where the Game at?Is he no longer with shady/Aftermath

No longer with G Unit/Aftermath but still with Dr. Dre

Best diss songs

Best - Hit 'Em Up (though i'm a huge biggie fan but that was tight)
Second - Ether (Nas killed Jay-Z on that one)
Third - 300 Bars and Running (15mins of switching beats and tight flows dissing the hell out of G-Unit, Joe Budden, Young Gunz, etc. The Game's flows were too nice).

Best hip hop beef obviously was Tupac Vs Biggie all those other beefs are just marketing. (Not saying theirs wasn't part business)

Yes, I do know what an Identity is, and one based on a language that has no real modern benefits, and an outdated value system that denigrates women and is based on religions that endorse human sacrifice is definitely at variance with the current Nigerian Identity.

Why do u keep bringing up the negative aspect of the culture. I was brought up in a YORUBA way of life (u can call that culture too). Which means I was taught how to relate to my elders, my age mates, and my juniors never was I taught about sacrifies or to disrespect women. I don't know where you live but take a look at the way some American kids live, u can't do anything but to feel sorry for them. Our culture teaches us obedience, discipline, and a host of other positive qualities. Even the so-called modern world used to do the same acts you accuse our culture of doing. Wrestling with lions for sport (wow!!! that is so civilized). Exposure and knowledge is what makes people open their eyes to some of these acts and reduce them which is even happening in our own culture. No sentiments here, our culture helps shape the kind of ppl we are which is enough reason for its preservation and growth.

EFCC was set up to go after OBJ's enemies, hmmm. If a person like IBB is being investigated no matter whose enemy he is, thats a victory for Nigeria. I thought that was one of the major things Nigerians have been praying for all these years to bring a man like IBB to justice. IBB is Nigeria's enemy (no matter how we look at it). Everytime I read an article about the EFCC going after all these powerful names I just say a lil prayer for Ribadu's safety. Someone in this thread said anyone can do Ribadu's job (that has to be the most shallow and naive comment in this thread). Would u do Ribadu's job if given the opportunity? Lets be honest. Think about it for a min and what it involves. Most of these men are dangerous beasts that won't waste anytime to crush their enemies not to talk of thousands of anonymous ppl that stand to gain from these evil people's prosperity. Tafa Balogun OBJ's friend or not was a disgrace to his position and I'm glad he was exposed. I'm just happy to see some names in the news and how their past/actions are coming back to haunt them (OBJ's enemies or not). If the works of EFCC can prevent a person like IBB getting back into Aso Rock I give them full support. With time I hope it'll catch up to the so-called sacred cows too if IBB is now being investigated, how untouchable do u think anyone really is? Even the U.S. has joined the efforts to track IBB's assets, present and serving government officials. As for how do yahoo boys affect the average naija man, we'll have to start a whole new thread to address that issue.

oo yeah i love the way its starts too when the phone starts ringing, sauce kid, mike okri, capital s, and so on

the sauce kid ft mike okri sounds good, doesn't it?

@dondele
all u need is tag, axe, and all those other body spray and girls would come rape you

Wow!!! Thats really horrible the things that have and are happening to you. We don't have any chioce but to pray about people we interact and do business with. On a lighter note i think your topic should be:

Nairaland Saves Me From Shooting People

U mentioned that more than the hypertension

I'm still waiting for someone to give me a real reason for the existence of the Yoruba language that isnt sentimentally charged. [quote author=dakmanzero link=topic=9168.msg582811#msg582811 date=1156789169]I disagree.

A beautiful culture only has historical value. If it is not relevant to modern life it should be relegated to the dustbin of history.

Afterall you do not sacrifice your children to shango anymore, do you? Nor do you slice off your clitoris to ensure your fidelity to your husband.

[/quote]I didn't even read all these comments b4. You need a reason for the existence of a culture That's ridiculous (I'm really sorry to say). You sound intelligent but that doesn't make much sense languages and cultures evolve so even if we speak "broken yoruba" or whatever its existence still holds so much value to us. So where would it stop?? Lets keep up with the world and get rid of our way of dressing too Our food Well its not pants and shirts so lets toss it. Our food contains too much carbohydrate and it smells around people lets stop eating it. Embrace your culture and make other people love it so much they want to learn about you. First Step to Major Global Recognition

Parents really do go out of their way to prevent their children from speaking their language especially in Nigeria. Maybe they think it makes their family look educated or high class i really don't understand. My primary school teacher actually told my dad not to speak yoruba around the house so as not to conflict with our english but i'm so glad my dad did not listen to him/her. I have a lot of friends that are quite grown and are trying to start speaking the language (I think they now understand the advantages). As someone said earlier so many other cultures keep their language and culture even to the 3rd generation but naijas r so quick to dispose of theirs. Even if i raise my children in the U.S. or wherever i'll def make sure they understand and speak yoruba as much as they can. Your culture is def one thing u have as an advantage over other people

I just had the normal "ring ring" ringtone b4 but thanks to some songs i'm feeling now I switch between

Sauce Kid ft Mike Okri - Omoge Wa Jo &
The Game - One Blood

wow!!! thats actually hard to decide, i'll say its ring the alarm maybe because its still new. Both are generally wack tho'

@don jazzie
thats very true about 'em but fiddy and g-unit carried em's beef with benzino and The Source.

[quote author=young_digi link=topic=18166.msg580682#msg580682 date=1156604314]thanks man,
i don't see another tongolo either or anything close to it, please stop hypin this song[/quote]Felt the same way the first time i listened to it but it'll grow on you. Its a really nice song

mr me too:
He started his rap with "I found a young girl", "I found a young girl".

Correction
"Hov found a young girl", "Hov found a young girl"

The funny about the whole rihana thing is that jay-z has a song with pharrel called "Young Girl". He started his rap with "I found a young girl", "I found a young girl".

@babaibadan
yeah and a couple of new ones

i love that video. This sounds crazy but that guy might not be able to rap or dance well enough but he's a great entertainer (to me anyways)

My Sources: All Eyez on 50cent (mtv)- he said if sells a copy less than his first then he considers it a flop.
I can't remember where he said because he wasn't hungry anymore thats the reason he felt his second album wasn't as good as the first and thats the reason he loves working with them hungry dudes so he can get his fire back (maybe hot97 interview or so). but 50 sings hooks for other ppl how come The Game was the most successful G-Unit member? Maybe if u listen to some of his mixtapes u'll find the answer there. I'm so glad he left. The Game brought the west side back even OG's like snoop and dogg pound acknowledge that. The thing is i'm not loyal to anyone (don't have to be) if The Doctor's Advocate is a rubbish album then i'll back away from The Game too but believe me it won't flop because of fiddy's absence.

there's difference between a TRUE STORY and BASED on a TRUE STORY. so except u were there you wouldn't know if that was the whole scenario

yayo wasn't in jail, he started his album after he got out. mobb deep went gold after fiddy made mouth that none of artists sell less than platinum. ok jay-z came out with girls girls girls but he had three other singles in that album that were not necessarily about love izzo (hova), song cry, and jigga that nigga. and i'm glad u brought up jay-z that is someone that didn't sell out to become successful fiddy all of a sudden went soft even B2K started sounding harder than him. I'm not saying a rapper should not sing about love, i mean i love ll cool j but fiddy with his thug image came out with disco inferno, candy shop, and just a lil bit all from one album. Even fiddy himself knows he's gone too soft thats why he sorrounded himself with ppl like mobb deep and MOP. He said it himself he messed up on his second album and thats the reason he sorrounds himself with hungry artistes so that he can feel that way again. 50 brings out bullshit (even he knows its bullshit) but he still smiles all the way to the bank because ppl would still go buy it. Believe me I don't have anything against 50 (afterall i don't him), if that guy comes out with another album like his 1st one again i'll start liking his music again. He killed someone's career for what he's doing now. How hypocritical can u get? 50 made The Game's album; he was their Patti LaBelle just singing hooks. BWS for life

y do fifty fans always go from his music to how much he's making he's very commercial at this point thats all even that would end soon. his lyrics aint tight. piggy bank was the weakest diss song ever. Even Will Smith's Mr Nice Guy carried more weight. Point of correction 50 was SHOT AT nine times not shot nine times. Maybe three bullets hit him or so, one scraping his cheek. I'm still a fan of Get Rich or die Trying tho' (the album).

Hi I'm the guy that doesn't know about the music industry but you are the one that doesn't know black wall street. 50 came out with full force against so called "bubble gum rappers" he had dvds, mixtapes, diss records talking about those kind of rappers and i respected him for that not necessarily because i like any of that hard shit but i loved his attitude and passion. He ended Ja-Rule's career for that reason and then he comes out with a second album and sells out he comes out with a song called candy shop (how fruity could he have gotten). Sells out so much that he's singing about being a chic's best friend. What kinda gangsta rapper sings about being best friends. I agree he knows what the crowd wants but he sold out on a major level thats the reason i don't like him. I'm so tired of ppl saying 50 made Game's album go listen to songs he wasn't on and if 50 is such a hit maker what happened to massacre(that album sold because it was a 50cent album and even according to him it was a flop), blood money, and yayo's album. Have u heard lloyd bank's new single he was on it too, rubbish btw. BWS for life. Game is definitely better that fifty, the boy fifty is just more commercial. For example, if diddy comes out with an album it'll sell more than most artists that doesn't make him a better rapper than any of them.

Love styl-plus but i think 2face deserves to take this one. The guy is everywhere, his voice is great even from the days of plantashun boiz, lets be honest even then his voice stood out. 2face has become such a huge star thats why Nigerians take him for granted. How can anyone say sunny nneji (don't crucify me) or Dare is better than tuface c'mon. I have non-Nigerian friends that have listened to styl plus and tuface but they only stand up, dance and sing when tuface comes on(don't get me wrong some like styl plus too). Tuface is the only naija artiste u hear in like foreign parties(its not just about marketing the quality of music is good). Until tuface comes with his second album we'll know if he's really talented or not but from plantashun boiz till his last album i think that guy has proven himself very well. Just to end this he doesn't have one hit single his album was a hit.

I think The Game is a great rapper. The Documentary was a classic, I hope he doesn't mess up on his second album like fiddy did. If we go by his mixtapes tho the album should be tight. He's definitely one of the top rappers out right now. Big Fan

If IBB starts to apologize for his past offences (although more likely for a camel to pass through a needle) then i'll believe he has the right intentions coming back. Like if his campaign slogan is "COMING BACK TO CORRECT THE EVIL I UNLEASHED ONTO NIGERIA" but if he and his camp still act like he didn't do anything wrong then i believe he's just coming to finish Nigeria off once and for all. Its really ridiculous for them to say IBB didn't steal anything

People hate that album? I actually haven't met anybody like that so far. The songs are tight Iya Basira, Imagine That, Drives me crazy, Always On My Mind. The one i think i don't like yet is Hadiza

pls can anyone send the download link for the song. the other link expired or so. Thanx

All i can say is thank God for artistes like lagbaja, dbanj, styl-plus, tuface, and others that keep our music Nigerian (African). Its annoying to hear an artiste that claims he was born, bred and a 100% naija faking an american accent. Does that really make them sell more? As for P-square i love the music but i have little reservations about them. Funny enough i like eedris and maintain but i can't stand ruggedman with all that beef shit (y would u want to adopt the bad parts of other people's culture). Some ppl might say he was trying to correct them but name dropping just means u r starting some kinda rift. My advice to any naija artist is let naija be primary then complement it with any other genre u want to, be it r'n'b, hip hop, jazz, rock, reggae, reggaeton or even classical tunes. I think that's what sells.

Thanx a lot scorpio
