Lil Kesh Calls Nigerian Rappers Who Don’t Rap In Their Local Dialect. by ndnuray(op): 8:56pm On Sep 12, 2015

Lil Kesh has called out Nigerian rappers, imploring them to make music in their own languages, languages that the common man can understand.

The Shoki and Gbese singer says that he does music not just for the English speakers but also for those who do not speak English.

He said,


Put your culture into your rap then your fans will definitely listen to you. If you are an Igbo guy and you know you can put your Igbo dialect in to your rap, do it for your Igbo people. I am not doing hip-hop for those that understand English alone; there are some people in Osun state, Abeokuta and Ibadan that don’t really understand English to a certain point.

Well, we certainly agree with him, rappers like Olamide, Illbliss and Phyno have definitely created a niche for themselves as rappers who connect with the people in their own languages.

DO YOU AGREE WITH LIL’ KESH?

Rubbish statement from rubbish singer calling himself a rapper

Last time I checked english is our lingua franca so if they are people that does not understand english, how dat one tey concern my making of musichuh Na me say make dey no go school? I believe by now ever average youth in nigeria should understand english well, the only people I see that does not understand english are old people, and shey na old people wan dey hear hip-hop, nig.ga muther.f.uker bla bla blahuh
Abegi! To me na excuse to coverup for being a whack rapper and not being able to speak english well. Cos they are also people who do not understand any local dialect E.G ME!!!

Oya tell me

Vector ko
Ice prince
Jesse jagz
Eva
Yung6ix


Not even rappers self

Tuface
Psquare
Even dbanj uses more of english

Name them

To me using local dialect only hinders you to a particular region.....

Like olamide is not bigger than phyno in the east
And phyno is not bigger than olamide in the west
But english rules
That is why MI is bigger than both, both in the east and west.

It is not about what language you use, but the kind of music you make, if you make better music, people would listen.

I have written many Songs which am been motivated by something or people I live or stay with sometimes I used vernacular because I want to show how versatile or good I am and if you are a rapper you will know that rappers are known for changing mission but mostly I used English coz to me it's a waste after going to school and am not using English in my songs
It's better to use English than to use your dialect coz many will find it hard to listen to what they can't understand
