Post the exact link to the story. i no get time to begin search. thanks

audio:
lol, really funny. Nice Post

The guy get mad creativity. . . . very funny pidgin english rap song. nice rhymes schemes, ok hook, well thought out stories within the song, well directed. i wonder why its not on mainstream tv yet?. It will certainly be hit ( i think) if its seen by the public.

This song 'no be hip hop' ( which i'm still bumping) also reminds me a bit of Lord Jahza in 'Razorection' I'm not sure what it is . . . . . . . . .

russellino:
For me I think yoruba musicians have made the best music. From sunny ade, seal, sade adu, mode 9,fela , i could go on and on. coming in second must be the ikwerre people, their melodies give me goosebumps.

let me guess . . . . . .you are a yoruba man .  . .  doh!

i don't think any ibo/ hausa  e.t.c man would agree with you. . . . . .AND does Mode 9 make yoruba music? OR are you saying that he is good MC because he is yoruba?

@lalaboi

I repeat . . ,  . . . . . . .This thread is pointless and stupid. Ikengawo had a clear agenda when he posted this topic because he aint even interested in music

lysaa:
u gettin it twisted man, hostility is the least expected from this i think.

ok, let see what happens

THE INCREDIBLE BLUNDER
The rap game is similar to a chess game.in chess you have to keep your eyes open and time your moves.a simple mistake can cost you dearly & greediness can be disastrous.every piece on the board is important but you must be able to gauge their respective importance as the game proceeds,the little pawn you overlook might eventually became a queen,the sluggish knight might become your waterloo & the limited bishop might trap you.the reason why iam saying this is just to get a message across to MI.ever since mi dropped "somebody is about to die" i have not been able to shake the feeling that it is his career that is about to die.here is my letter to mi,

Dear mr incredible,
How are you doing and how is choc city,i hope you are enjoying your new found fame?the question is how long do you want it to last,because it clearly looks like you do not cherish your new status as naija's finest.don't let people decieve you.you are not the best(at least not yet).what you should be doing right now is trying to move out of your comfort zone and take your game to the next level.while the hip hop heads might be feeling you,the average Nigerian music lover is not.you don't have a certified hit yet(on a kini big deal level) and your album wasn't even a classic.
Dissing iceberg slim was the height of stupidity,more like putting the cart before the horse.if you were dissing eldee,ruggedman,modenine,2shotz or naeto c that would have been different,at least these are people who have fanbases that can be hijacked.iceberg slim has no fan,he is a nobody.you were supposed to ignore him.just because you are lyrically sound and talented and you are better than most of your peers(when rhyming in english) doesn't give you the liberty to go at anybody anyhow.this nigga is way beneath you.you had the rap album of the year,your career is on track and chocolate city is blowing up,why do you want to mess it up right now?iceberg has nothing to lose while you have everything to lose.what is wrong with you?
You might think you are better than everybody else but that is far from the truth.i have listened to your album and your mixtape and i know that you can be defeated in a battle(easily).for every great artiste in the world there is always a better one waiting in the shadows(terry da rapman What you should have done was let iceprince go at him(that's why you have weed carriers),you could have ghostwritten the reply and stayed behind the scene,that way you might even blow up iceprince.i have been in this game for so long that i can recognize a mistake when i see one.

-what if iceberg gets the backing of mode9,terry da rapman,illbliss,sauce kid,cyrus da virus & vector?even with kel on your side,you will get run over.(naija's version of ja rule vs 50 cent,eminem,dr dre,dmx,busta rhymes,obie trice,g-unit,d-12)

-what if iceberg gets signed to mo hits,kennis music or storm records?

-what if the media blows it out of proportion?

jude,my advice for you is to back off before it gets ugly,stop making a mountain out of a molehill cos when shit hits the fan,all these rappers claiming to be your friends will not come to your aid.a word is enough for the wise.

this thread serves no purpose apart from to provoke hostility between different tribes.

I can't believe that lalaboi did not delete this post but even added a comment it.

DBR:
I say listenin to the street.
Selling out in ma defination is to dumb/water down ur lyrics
But the last time i checked, M9 lyrics on both tracks didnt
come out wack,
but i guess there's no pleasin some pple.
oNe

word

DBR:
Im luvin this, dunno bout u.
There's this good vibe btw the trio,
Is OD hot or wat, that guy has been slept on for too long.
YQ on point with d hook as usual and f'course M9, wat more can i say.
I like d direction he's takin his art, i think he's strikin a nice balance now

I really like the last 2 singles, Loke and Badman. It seems Mode is finally listening to the streets.

This is some funny sh*t!! UN-seen 'Trouble'

great track. . . . i think its only a matter of time for modey.

@audio

U need to read b/w the lines.

audio:
Not as wack as your "we go make am" track. Now that's, Wacckkkk.

@Tee- Blaq

Don't u think its a bit stupid for an autotune rapper to start cussing another rapper when he aint got no skills.

U R SO WAAAAAACCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!

kelel213:
@ TOYOSI20, I personally admire the concept by the artists of putting a bit of some of his songs.

dem try. . . . . . . dont think it was mixed/mastered properly, strainin to hear the vocals in places ( or it may be my speakers) but its a good effort regardless.

these guys are quite a creative talented bunch

I like the track BUT the sound quality uploaded to youtube is too poor!!

Can you provide links to a clearer version of the song?

thanks

@obinodmx

Nice.

can we have the rest of the song please?. . . . .

Thanks

@obinodmx

Do u have a link to download 'no try me'? . . . Please?

Thanks

[quote author=tosinaded@ link=topic=309179.msg4355496#msg4355496 date=1250328589]listened to it finally!!!!
good song, not spectacular

watery lines [/quote]well at least you didn't say it was a bad song . . . . but what does watery lines mean?. . . . he is lyrically weak? OR do you mean he is not 'hard' enough. I've heard a few tracks from this guy and they all seem to have an underlying sense of humor. I wonder if he can make a hardcore record w/o pidgin and what it would sound like OR maybe he doesn't want to.

I don't think you can credibly say he is lyrically weak

@audio

since u agree with tosinaded, please give an example of a 'spectacular' naija hip hop song. . .  . .

They are both very good rappers. I don't think anybody can deny that. Very different styles but they complement each other well with their own unique take on naija hip hop.

I don't think u need to be a wizard to predict that un-seen will blow at some point.


IKUKU RECORDS is the future. . . . , .braaaaapppp!!!!!!

Rhymstein:
@rapjunkie
why u dey dutty my name like this now.i dey diss mi?apart from some subliminals i use at times, like generic version of lil wayne and is it me or m.i is a baga?{abaga} , na just joke oh, hate it or love it the mixtape go hold.
by the way,u hear say them stone rugged pure water on stage for oniru and them say na modey fans attack am.why dem dey lie against us now

I come in peace!!  

BUT . . . why u dey stone rugged na?. . . . Dammiecool will soon show up on this thread o!!

DBR:
Im averse to being lumped in a group and u makin general statement that is contrary to ma stand on any subject.
If u wanna address Khanye pls do, and if u have issues wit any of ma post talk to me and we can share knowledge.
Have u read ma other posts on M.i? When i talk bout an artist is one thing, but when makin comparison it's another.
I know where M.i is stronger than M9 and vice versa.Apart from being ma boy I'm also an M.i fan.
I tot u knu me beta than wat u just posted,
oNe

no mind me. . . . .   .        Just looking for trouble as usual. . . . .This is b/w me and Khanye. . . .  .apologies to java, dejirayo, rhymestein and urself. Just got a bit carried away with the khanye post

khanye:
Kill urself!

@ Khanye


U sure about that? . . . cos I will take u with me. . . . . .

khanye:
I've got freedom to post any thing i want
i dont owe you any explanation!

Of course u don't. . . . .but when you post stuff stand by it and stop denying it like the rest of ur gang.

If MI does a mixtape with Mode9 he must be really stupid.

khanye:
What's ur problem man?
Who is dissing M.I

YOU r my problem

don't be acting all innocent. . . . . PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS:

khanye:
M.9 is the baba not a Baga, not even a dancer

@mode fans

Java, Khanye, DBR, Rhymestein, Dejirayo e.t.c

you guys make me laugh

on one hand u diss MI saying he bites Mode9 ( ooops!!, i mean is influenced :-) ) by Mode 9 and is no where near him blah, blah, blah and you throw cheap shots at him continuosly on NL BUT. . . . .  on the other hand you guys want MI to do mix tape with Mode9.

If i was MI i wouldn't do anything with Mode 9 cos its obvious Mode 9 is just using him. You guys don't respect MI and now even Khanye is throwing subliminals calling MI   'a baga'.

All u do is post and comment about Mode 9 and have almost nothing to say about any one else. Even if you do, its usually negative.

na wa for una

khanye:
M.9 is the baba not a Baga,  not even a dancer

you dissing MI  . . . . . . .  khanye?

dammiecool:
if u do music 4 naija with no naija flavour/
na only God go save yo/

Thats why I have always liked ruggedman . . .

At the end of the day we are naija. We need to create our own identity in this hop hop game.

This guy must be one of the tightest lyricists outta naija

Damn!!!! . . . . the boy is good.

Its funny how people on NL only scream Mode 9, MI, Ruggedman e.t.c when there are other MC's who could probably murder all of them put together.

Also, is Unseen taking shots at the likes of MI and Mode9 & Co who don't put pidgin or vernacular in their rhymes?


dont forget to connect with the people my friend/
come correct and inject local material in the blend/
if you don't then expect to hit a dead end/
you've got to understand what i'm saying to comprehend/. . ( i no send)


its not all about ur metaphors and similies/
hardcore? it sounds boring to me/


These guys from Ikuku records are just different, original and fresh. I love naija hip hop!!


@lalaboi and others


una no dey feel this track?

slimshay:
Anyways i dont know why these guys would sense beef and go and start dusting up pre-recorded tracks. Im so not feeling that.

abi?

lalaboi:
**why is that everytime i get listeners the show flops!** Need to see a pastor!

. . .lol. .

lalaboi!!!. . . . , wetin happen?. , . .

@rhymestein

how many times you go post the same thing?. . . . . . .

lalaboi:
RapJ . . . .This conradicts what you have been saying . . . .1st you said MI wouldnt last. . . .now you say Iceberg wont last in a battle. . . .who exactly wont last oga??

@ lalaboi

eldee:
I thought so too . . . till I heard what was meant to be a reply to Somebody Wants to Die
That's sooo weak, it makes Mariah Carey's Obsessed sound like Ether
Come on . . . why call out sumone if you ain't good enough?? Iceberg can't hold a candle next to M.I

Thats exactly my point!!!. . . . .  'somebody wants to die' is far better than this. . . . . even though i didn't think it hit hard enough. MI's warning shot has already put IBS on the floor and its the first round!

and no excuses that it was written last year cos IBS clearly referred to it on his FB status. Doesnt he have enough money to record a new track? Tell him to hit me up and i will hook him with ofokasibe to do beats for him
