Had a listen to 'crumping' ' funky gbedu' and ' bounce and strings'

the drum programming isn't that bad but the placing of your instruments seem to be out of time. Also u need more instruments ( VST's) to increase your possibilities and enrichen the sound. 30- 40 secs doesn't give enough time to judge the beat but they are sounding very amateur at the moment. So keep working my friend and try to get some decent kit.

@moonstone

Did i see my name in ur post? Are my eyes decieving me? Better take ur time o! I dont discriminate and i'm not sexist which means i will rush u on NL like u stole my money. Mind ur biz and keep my name out of ur posts.

Wordsmith:
no offense, but what kinda songs do they listen to in Owerri?

. . .errrrrr . . . . . . .wordsmith, where are going with that silly statement?

My prohecy is coming true . . . . . all we need now is to get ruggedman to join them and form the super group ' 'Baboons under the moon'

@ Khanye & Java & Dammiecool

Just joking guys,  before you jump on my head

Good news for naija hip hop.

They will definitely bring out the best in each other. Modenine could do with some of MI's heat right now and MI could do with some of Modenine's credibility.

All in all, the winners are us, the naija hip hop fans.

Looking forward to it already.

wtf?

@coolguyz

Your analysis is as cool as your name.

I dont mind MI. . . . . .just don't agree that he is the best rapper in naija. Also amuses me how people fall prey to 'crowd mentality'   

Call me hater . . . . . . i love it!!!

lalaboi:
Rapjunkie and Audio. . .you 2 lots from AHH . . . .You never disagree do you?

Don't we?

Great minds huh?

Nice to know u care lalaboi.

Utali:
Kanye West came out with a Pop album and just because he (was) is a rapper it should be termed Hiphop?
There are elements of hiphop music and those artistes Psquare and Tuface's works shouldn't be labeled Hiphop, i don't know about modern Hiphop,
I am sure that if 50 cent drops an rnb album and calls it Nano Age Hiphop you'll start labeling rnb songs Nano hiphop

Dumb!

I've had a million discussions on this very topic over many blogs in the past.

@ Utali

I agree with u 100%

@javalove

u r an extremly boring dude. Jeeeez!!!

Almost every single one of your posts on NL refers to Mode9. Do you have no other contribution to make apart from your mode9 spamming?

cabali:
You would know a lot about that now wouldnt you??

I should contribute so that u and the junkie will attack like u did with sauron right?

Please stay off my case.

are you in love with me cabili? Why u dey mention my name anyhow? did you see me talk to sauron? have you read this thread?

if i see my name for your post again you go hear am

I wonder!! People are very quick to dismiss opinions when they don't have any 

@Atown

thanks for the thoughtful insight


@Cabali

cabali:
[b]it is obvious there is noone yet on this thread that understand how the system works. So it is actually of no significance to explain it [/b]cos any attempt at that will get ignorant people arguing like girls.

its good to see how ur mind actually works intelligent reasoning on full show

' . . . . no significance to explain it'


the words 'he is a dummy' suddenly rush to mind. . . . . . . . . . .

Yvonne Maha!! That's it!! Memories. She also had this song called ' don't treat me like a child' I still know the lyrics and melody of the song ( shame!! ) . . . . . I can see my street cred on NL quickly going down the plug hole. 

Bamsyle, you certainly know your naija music.

I take off my cap to you


African Oyinbo. . . . .R I P    she was definitely a source of inspiration to people who wanted to think outside the box

Mandy Brown . . . .she was cool too. Did a great cover of 'taxi driver'. I think her album did quite well at the time.

Back to the present day

I saw a kween video the other day and I  laughed so much it hurt. It's the one where she has water poured on her head for presumably a ' sexy scene' and she is obviously choking while trying to get through the lyrics and look sexy and gyrate against a wall at the same time. Do you see what Shakira and Beyonce have caused?

Embarrassing!! She needs to put more work in her videos  than just turning up with an oversized afro.

I think Omawunmi could go far but needs the right songs. She has one of the best voices in Naija at the moment.

Bonjeh:
Most rappers sound like they are from Brooklyn because most of who they listen too are from the USA. They are clearly influenced by what they listen to. Please don't hate on them because of the accent sometimes it is subconcious. I don't think they are trying to be other then who they are. I mean some people when they talk it is very different from how they sing, would U criticize those  people too.

I don't agree. There was problem like this in the UK when British MC's all had american accents in the 90's. Does anyone remember phoebe 1 or iceberg slim?

Anyways, through garage and grime they discovered their voices and when you hear a UK hip hop act today you instantly know where they are from.

The problem with our girls at the moment is that their ' americana' accents are TOO thick and it just reeks of copy, copy.

That's why i continue to say that there is massive void awaiting to be filled by the first 'real' naija female MC. When that happens none of you will remember any of these broads currently making noise with no albums.

wanville:
Lets face it people MI is the best 9ja rapper that ever stepped into the music thresholds.

Thats the kind of overhype that gets my back up

All these queens of rap with no albums sef!!!

and why they all sound like they from Brooklyn?

Sasha is the undisputed queen because she has had a hit record plus an album to her name.

I beg, he should leave singing for Banky W & Co.

Did you listen to shobodedobobedobo or whatever its called?

. . . . I rest my case

They should rename this thread to:

'Sauron verses ELRazur Part 1: The fight to the death '

Thanks guys for keeping NL interesting

@ Bamsyle

whats the name of the girl who sang a cover of ' taxi driver' ? was it Mandy something? she was hot!!

and Tina Onwudiwe, who was a diva without doubt

also, whats the name of the young girl who sang ' if i had the wings of a dove' in the 80's i can't remember her name but she was very popular at the time. i wonder what happened to her?

Funny enough, my inlaw just gave me Jenifa 1 & 2 to watch and said it is one of the best films in naija at the moment. I will watch it 2nite and give my verdict later.

I need to see what all the fuss is about

great track . . one of killz better efforts. he should stick to rapping and forget all the crappy singing stuff hes been doing recently

I thought this guy sold 30,000 in 30 mins? Obviously not in the East then!

Wow!!

From the online hype  about this guy you would never imagine that this could happen to him

So where is he selling his album? Only in lagos ?

I don't know much about diva's BUT

We are yet to produce a decent female rapper because all of them at the moment rap with an annoying deep american accent . . . . . . . .  . . . . .and thats sasha and da trybes fault.

The game is crying out for an original naija female MC

@all the anti olu maintain posters

Olu maintain has produced many hits in naija.

Are u guys saying that the majority of the naija population who actually buy music are also wack?

who is mr olu?

never heard of him

do you mean olu maintain?

eldee:
Erm. . . get the lyrics right

I'm rare like assets

what does rare like assets mean?

You're a real brainbox tosin. U think of everything.


@ElRazur

ElRazur:
Rapjunkie, please explain this to me, what happens if a distributor pays an artist for 100k copies, but it somehow got burnt in fire [like alaba market did] Do you think that  should count towards the artist real sales? Yeah he got paid, but ultimately he is the one losing ad that is like 100k copies denied to the fans.

everybody knows that there is no soundscan system in Naija, so you are really stating the obvious. At present it is impossible to tell exactly how many copies an album has sold but you can have a fair approximation. There are other indicators and one of them are the orders taken from distributors.

there is a big difference between the sony ps3 story and this.

when marketers have paid for the goods it is a sale. they don't get their money back. Naija has an enormous population and those CD's will eventually be sold.

[quote author=tosinaded@ link=topic=263654.msg3754009#msg3754009 date=1240216445]either which way,selling a million copies in naija dsnt mean ur album has gotn to a million hands YET!
All it means is uve bn able to distribute it 2 various marketers and uve gotn ur money![/quote]Do u think the marketers will eat the CD's?   

Not sure what ur point is

this is some funny sh*t!!!
