Eva Alordiah.

My all time fave.
Worthy of further mentions; Munachi Abi, Shaha P and Zee.

My forever queens.
Till this day she's still dropping bangers. Check her out on YouTube.
Nigerian music promoters and Recording labels don't know how to push artists.
Since the advent of kpangolo music(afrobeat) everything just Nose dive.

Jesse Jagz not being in this list is a crime...

I can say on Jesse Jagz but not Eva. You need to check her bangers on YouTube. That lady is being slept on... I believe it's a Nigerian factor since we don't rate hip-hop on this side of the Continent.

Why wouldn't they be underrated when they're busy acting like black American wannabes by mimicking the black American vibe?

What we need are authentic African rappers who are the epitome of African excellence and culture... I'd rather listen to American hip hop, which is the real deal than these ones.
Next time I see you comment on this forum again, I will deal with you.
Go to South Africa forum and rant your frustrations there.

"I go blow like hurricane and I still dey chop sugarcane" can have meaning to it...


If you take a deeper look at the line.


Poetry is about self expression. Expressing one's self is not a straight forward thing as people have different ways to express them selves or conveying meanings with words.


I understand what you mean with some rappers delivering wack meaningless lines but the example you gave wasn't a suitable one.


It might be crude but still conveys meaning. Meaning poetry or rap lines don't have to be refined or sophisticated.


What matters is the meaning it carries.


That said I think rappers like erigga should be added to your list of underrated rappers!
You said a lot, yet ended up saying nothing.

At first I thought you were going to tell us something meaningful about that wack line.

Topic said underrated. English is not difficult. Meanwhile, anyone putting mode9 before MI and vector is just being sentimental because mode9 kinda paved the way. He ain't rapping shiii. What do you know about rap? Before naija enter rap wetin you know?

Just as I was expecting you to say why the line is wack...


I wanted to but choose not to so what I typed won't be too long due to my explanation. And I because was multitasking at the time I wrote the comment.


If you like be following me upadan with different Monikas ko?


Keep on expecting me to say what you want to hear me say as if you were the one that paid my school fees in primary school ko!

Eva that girl get swag way back
Re: 5 Most Underrated Nigerian Rappers Of All Time by THMT: 9:43pm On Jun 19
Jagz is an embodiment of art that should be studied. Came at the wrong time and Eva isn't overrated, she's a tight MC though I prefer Blaise.

Blaise and freestyle song is still one of the best rap songs from Nigeri.
Try to check it out.
