The song is DOPE but the video got lots of issues with the effects, as a cinematography student that video is well below the song... watch wella and you see alot of lapses

Shymm3x:


The UK has a watered-down version of rap like what Nigerian artists are doing, and we call it "grime". A different genre entirely. I believe that's what these naij artists should start doing cos they can't rap. These mofos can't rap for shiit - even Milli Vanilli will run circles around their squares.

Anyway, this is the remix of Wizkid's "Ojuelegba" ft Drake and Skepta (British grime artist of naij descent and the biggest independent artist in the UK). Skepta's style on the tune is called "grime" but that's the slow version of it - we have the fast and aggressive version.

Point of correction Safarigirl, Classiq is not from Nassarawa bt from Bauchi, Tafawa Balewa local government. He is a bosom friend right from secondary school to university. He was brought up in Kano and his father is also a Doctor of Geography at Bayero University, kano.
He has been listening to rap music since secondary school time and decided to took it as a career in uni.
Classiq babban yayan Michael da Hannatu.

The only nigerian rapper I like is Mode 9.The rest are just noise makers spreading headache to their listeners.Funnily enough I listened to "cry" earlier today after a long time.Whenever I listen to any phyno and olamide song I'm always like "so people really like this sh....?"

mablie:
Is "kano" a grime artiste?I like his song "brown eyes".I also know "the streets" and a grime collective a few years ago with a song called "21 seconds to go" or is it "6 seconds to go?".I will be glad if you don't mind listing your favorite grime artistes and songs.I will like to know more about the genre or is it sub-genre?

5) Reminisce: Baba Hafusa was my least interesting act on this beat. I just feel like Olamide would've murdered this song more than he did. He was just okay, he went as hard as he has in recent times, but still, he fell short just a little compared to the other guys.

This is just my personal opinion. Vector's King Kong remix featuring Phyno, Reminisce, Classiq and Uzi has to be the d-opest rap song in Naija (ever?)

The visuals were crayyy! Butterfield beyond the video, the contribution of every artiste on that track was just out of this world....they all came correct. I haven't seen artistes go as hard as those guys did on a collaboration. Like they all wanted to prove something, and boyyy did they prove it! (maybe they were tryna outdo Sarkodie's remix? ).

I had some favourites, so i'll break them down from my best down to the least IMO....they all did good, but some were amazing.

1) Uzikwendu(Uzi): the lil bro of Killz did not disappoint his big bro. This dude was just FIRE on the track. Like, where the hell has he been? We've got Twista here and we've been rockin' to a bunch of 2Chainz niggas? I loved EVERYTHING about this dude's lines. The rhthm, the speed, everything was just....DAMN! I have to see him again.

2) Classiq: first off, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Vector for finally getting a REAL A-boky on a track, Ann boy did this dude represent! On a track with fairly established guys, these new bloods definitely took the spotlight. Classiq was just waoh! Rapping in Hausa, he delivered the language of the North so beautifully, one is tempted to sign up for an Hausa class. Thank you Nasarawa for giving us Classiq

3) Phyno: As usual, Mr. Obago delivered his punchlines with enough infusion of Igbo so you make no mistakes where he's repping, but at this point, we should all know how Phyno does it....I particularly liked his line "Real recognises real, ma nigga so why don't you look familiar?".

4) Vector: As much as Vector owned the original of this song, he had to tone it down for the other guys, but he still brought his heat. Would've preferred if he opened the music, but he was still pretty awesome on it, I liked his Johnny line

5) Reminisce: Baba Hafusa was my least interesting act on this beat. I just feel like Olamide would've murdered this song more than he did. He was just okay, he went as hard as he has in recent times, but still, he fell short just a little compared to the other guys.

Totally, Uzi and Classiq were the stars of this song and MattMax definitely did some magic with the visuals....even though there is a resemblance to Jay-Z's "On to the next one". Certain scenes stood out for me. The illuminati-ish scene with Uzi as well as the Horse rider scene with Classiq.

Here is the video, what do you think of the song?

tutor me on how to dish out a good rap lines, am an r & b songwriter,singer

Shymm3x:


Yes, Kano is a grime artist, and "Brown eyes" is grime on rap/r&b beat. Grime has it own unique beat pattern as well - but it's quintessentially a UK thing.

21 seconds by So Solid Crew is garage - a different genre completely from grime, but it fathered grime, with 4x4. Almost the same pattern, but grime is more aggressive with different layers in the rhyme pattern and the beats. Also, garage has a lot of dubstep which you won't find in grime.

Check out Stormzy, Skepta, Kano is still doing his thing, JME (Skepta's younger brother), Tinie Tempah (used to do grime as well), Chipmunk, Bugzy Malone from Manchester is killing it now as well, Ghettz, Newham General, etc., just to name a few.

I'll check that out.

Have you heard Boogey? download 'Rigor mortis'

He's actually the only one that knows what emceeing is all about. the rest are just for comic relief.

& that Vector once said he could floor Jigga in a freestyle session . the way his clueless dickriders hype him is even more repugnant ✘
