A lot has been said about the issue above, but has anybody consider cabasa/9ices side of the story, ask rxd why he is not taking legal actions rather putting this dudes down, he should photocopy a piece of agreement he has with this guys, he is ibo and the song we heard from this video is more of yoruba and 9ices lyrics?? is idcabasa that illusive that he cant get in touch with him atleast he claimed he recorded @ IDCABASAS studio then he should go back there and see him. i think this guy just want to bring down these guys, but lets understand that who God don bless no man can curse.
idcabasa/9ice are blessed.

You're not getting ma point.

I'm not aware of any Nigerian song with exactly the same concept as Modey's 'Nigerian Girls', but there are worse songs.

Dude, I ain't a woman but I'm certain that there's nutin more derogatory, abusive, and insulting to women than seeing them as sex objects and singing about such . . . Shina Peters has loads of such songs, same for Fela, Sammy Needle, Blacky, D'banj, etc. Also, have you ever wondered why Nigerian stand-up comedians such as Basketmouth and Julius Agwu 'abuse' women in 'em jokes and still get ladies cracking The one called I-Go-Die is even the worst of 'em all - watch all his performances; he can't do without being vulgar. Yet ladies applaud him.

Sunny Nneji sang 'Tolotolo', throwin' subliminal disses at ladies who strut their stuff - ladies dig it . . . so what are we on

My overall point is that girls may not like him, but "Nigerian Girls" has got nutin to do with it . . . it might be dependent on a lot of factors . . . that song did not backfire in any way . . . if it's a club banger, ladies would most prolly be shakin' 'em waists to it in clubs . . .

As a fella, ask yourself why ladies love some guys and hate some . . . it's not sumn you can answer straight up . . . some guys just seem to have a bevy of ladies always surrounding 'em . . . even without trying . . . others are not so lucky with girls . . . atimes it might be due to factors like looks, dress sense, money or the lack of it, etc. And atimes you just can't place your fingers on it . . .

I agree on your point on the difference between the American and Nigerian markets . . . but to a certain degree.

Agreed, if Eminem was Nigerian and he released songs cussin' out his mom, he may not have sold so much . . . but note that there's emphasis on the word 'may' . . . why? cos atimes there are certain things in life you just can't predict . . . especially in a country like Nigeria with a vast population of diverse people and norms . . . have you ever wondered who most of Eminem's fans are His lady fans cut across all races and nations . . . I've checked it out . . . a horde of Nigerian girls love him like crazy . . . with all his misogynyst themes . . . you think these ladies don't understand what he was saying in "Cleaning Out My Closet", "Stan", "Kill You", etc  They do.

Ladies in Nigeria ain't different from ladies anywhere in the world . . . even with the cultural differences . . . if they already liked Mode before he did the song, they'll still love him after, or even more . . . consider if sumn like RMD did that same song . . . even D'banj . . . we won't be discussing this. If ladies already hated a dude and he went ahead to release a song to praise 'em, they'll even hate him the more . . . when a lady loves you, you can't stop her . . . when she hates you, you also can't stop her . . . if a lady loves a dude, she'll see him in rags and treat him like a prince . . . if she hates him, she'll see him on a horse and treat him like a beggar . . .

I don't see any need for Mode to do another song apologising to 'em ladies . . . that's a tardy suggestion.

Rapjunkie lets hear woed abeg, hw dare u insult street credibility for one stupid mediocre track? Not d girl is a very good song aswell. MI should sweep almost all awards he is nominated for. Pheesayor i still cant find faze's name on d nomination list for anything.

RPJ set the thread up so that
he, funky and some other fools can curse and abuse mode.
i wonder what they gain from all this rubbish
i think RPJ (He's 39 going to 40yrs old) is married with 3 kids i wonder why he's still behaving this way.

@Rapjunkie

I agree that acceptance from ladies has a great influence on an artiste's career . . . it's a global thing . . . Pac said he advised Biggie to "rap for the b*****s" when he commenced his career - that it's a sure-fire way to success . . .

Plus it's a 2-way thing - some artistes sing to praise ladies . . . and they make it that way . . . others just clown even whilst dissing 'em and being misogynystic, yet ladies love 'em (Eminem is case study here) . . . I think being controversial, witty and somewhat 'having the ladies in mind' is a trick that always works for any artiste . . . Check the roll call - Eedris' approach-to-the-ladies is crude, that of Shina Peters, etc - crude too . . . on the other hand, MI adopted the be-good-to-the ladies style by doing 'Forever', and the list goes on - can't exhaust that . . .

And hey, I'm sure you know that "Nigerian Girls" from Mode ain't the single reason for the vituperations he's been receiving . . . I know you're more intelligent than that . . . you're just tryna be funny . . .

Get outta here man . . .

If you've liked M9 before, "Nigerian girls" wont make u hate him,
Nigerian Girls wont be labelled "the final nail in coffin".
So believe this none of 'em gurls hatin on him is doin it cos of "Nigerian girls"
And definately an Ondo girl wuddnt be mad cos wat was said bout her
was her intelligence? A gwari chic too shudnt cos t'was the culture of carryin stuff on shoulder
that was mentioned, havin a ttribal mark aint sth M9 promulgated either.
He wasnt the 1st to infer that Igbo chics like pepper, or that a Lagos chic like partyin.
Or the other thing that most of us know bout the stereotypes. So wats the big deal?
And mind u he's statin HIS own EXPERIENCE with the STEREOTYPES whether fiction or not,
Let the dude breath.

@nanaboi

And so by your own understanding it's a hit song that makes an emcee LYRICAL?
And did u just include Talib Kweli in the list of JUST PUNCHLINE rappers?
Do u guys so much confuse Hit track, with if an emcee is lyrical or not?
And now M.i is more lyrical than M9?/ Greatttt!!!!
Do i need to post more lines M9 spat way back that sort of showed up reworked in M.i verses
before y'all give this dude his respect,
How on earth will anyone after my earlier post say M.i is more lyrical.
Do y'll read or just skim tru information. The fact that M.i is more commercially apealin makes him auto-more lyrical
I can imagine if t'was M.i that spat all those lines and they later showed up on M9's verses, t'ld be a diff. story.
And pls since when did "swagger, punchlines, metaphors, breath control all turned to indicators of a LYRICIST?
If M9 aint lyrical, if M9 is just a punchline emcee, then i guess we have no lyrical emcee in 9ja.
