A lot of nigerians do not have a mind of their own, they just follow what they are told on t.v, or radio, or by the crowd. That is what m.i was talking about in crowd mentality.
I have read all the replies here, and some people impressed me, while some just do not know what they are talking about.
I think, no, i don't think, i know that m.i is the best nigerian rapper. Even before he dropped his album, i knew he was the best, that is why his album was so highly anticipated. No other rap album has moved in alaba like this album, believe me when i say so, because i am an alaba boy.
Now, you say modenine? Saying mode is the best is like saying canibus is the best rapper. It's like saying canibus is better than nas, or jadakiss or something. He can rap with all the words in the world, but is he is a complete rapper.
Tell me, and i rellay want you to tell me what you gain after you listen to a modenine song. Ofcos he gives you all the jaw dropping metaphors. which is the point i am trying to point out. After the metaphors, what do you gain. He is stereotype, you already know what you are going to get from him; lines like "with your hands in the toilet, you're feeling my shit". And more and more of those kinds of metaphors. What else? If you are listening to a mode album, by the 4th track, you would know what the rest would be, just the same with changed beats, and choruses.
M.i is a breath of fresh air. He is lyrically, he has a unique style, or should i say styles, he carries the listener along. He can be commercial or mainstream without selling out.
He said it himself, "i ain't saying i'm the best, i'm just asking who's better".
That is a very good question, who is better than m.i?
You want to say naeto c? Try and get your hand on naeto c's lyrics, and read them, then you would know that without the beats, great production, and catchy chorus, which must of his songs have, and also the swagger, there is nothing left. Just get your hand on his lyrics and read, nursery rhmyes that do not make sence. Or please just give me four lines from your best naeto c song. Lines like "check out my new bezy, you can wind down well, but are you ready", very lame lines.
Sauce is very good, and i would say would have gotten better, but i think he is playing with the music thing.
Freestyle is good, elde is good, od is good, but can get to rigid sometimes.
Rugged, hate it or love it, is a very matured rapper. Forget all the commerciality, he can make very good, and he does make very good rap songs. But m.i is just a blend of all these rappers. Or more like he has all what these other rappers were lacking.
You say he is just the rave of the monet, that is pure hating. I would say naeto c is more of a rave of the moment. M .i is here to stay. You do not need to hear 3 albums from him to know he is the best. His album is a classic.
