Haba,Shut down a whole Alaba?where electronics and other things are sold because of Pirated CDs.What should have to other people selling other items.Because of his own pocket,he want everybody to suffer?

Conclusion.Find other means of getting the pirates,Shutting it down is not the Solution.[/quote]I think shutting it down is a bit over the top and wont change anything. There has to be away to make the godfather's more accountable. You can't shut down piracy completly anywhere in the world  BUT you can reduce/limit it by strong regulation. Don't know how any of this is feasible in Naija but you cant stand around and do nothing or the industry will suffocate itself.

@Skingo

Do u really think the problem will disappear if Alaba is eradicated?. Is it that simple? Wouldn't they just  move on to somewhere else and continue? What purpose would a poll serve until you've explained this to us? OR are you just repeatiing what keke said?

skingo:
u guys on nairaland are nothing but posters and posers. u knw lil or nothing going on in the industry

Lets us hear your thoughts since you are implying that you know a lot about the industry.

Its also refreshing to read a comment by you that doesnt mention Sauce Kid

No mind me jare

I heard this happens all the time and theres not much anybody can do. I just get frustrated with it all!!!

Anybody remember the 'tickle me' song by Alex Zitto? Was it him, can't really remember?

anybody got it?

I'd do anything to watch the Alex O 'celebrate' video again. Help anybody??

@Rundown

I have issues with a post you put on the ID Cabasa/ RXD  thread

Please explain your rationale behind the post because I have already started to take shots at you

@Rundown

I understand why you chose that username but 828 at the end? Surely u wanted to use 419 but that would give u away wouldnt it?

I'm certain that you have either profited from this or you are a stakeholder in those who have.

Please be certain of one thing, your days are numbered. NO JOKE!! Nigerians are not as as stupid as you think we are.

rundown828:
hmm well what i see here is that cabasa has hes faults too, but hey home boi jst try and make peace cos pushing it might not get you shishi this is 9ja!!! you knw the slogan, YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH A LOADS OF THINGS

Lets see if 9ice is going to 'get away' with this.

I think you have seriously misjudged the potential power of the members of NL

I dont want to talk now because if i do all these over sensitive guys on NL will start looking for a fight.

Anyway, i can't help myself. The concept is ok. The beat ( love the highlife type remix)  would certainly work but there is something missing with amplfied crew. Not sure if it is the delivery, flow or the accents but i cant see this being a massive hit in Naija even though it could/should be.

I think that its hard to connect with what they are saying and how they are saying it. BUT it all depends on the market they are aiming for.If its naija then they need to step up their game because there are a million cats IN Naija who will tear up this beat easy.    Or is it that they are just mediocre rappers/musicians and will always sound a bit watery?

First thing I would do if i was them would be to run far away from Eldee and his cheezy style of production and sound and image.  They should go to naija and maybe work with some proper naija producers who could help them find their own identity in the studio.

JUST MY OPINION!!!

I've heard it but can't they get past that? Did Freestyle reply? I dont really think anybody cares anyway.

Eldee is clearly struggling without the other 2 cats whether he wants to admit it or not. He should go and apologise to Freestyle and get on with it.

Bamsyle:
In Naija, there are so many crap lines laced over good beats . . . from even the so-called megastars . . . they're so many you just have to overlook 'em . . . if you pick up all the crap lines we have from Naija artistes and analyse 'em one after the other, you'll faint cos of fatigue . . .

Thats funny. If Koffman read my original post he will see that I was positive about the song. The first verse aint bad. I like the ozumba mbadiwe line and the flow but the rest sucked!!. I didnt say it like that, I simply suggested that there should be a remix. But they kept goading me. If the line is wack dont dress it up and say it is 'unique' word play. How are we going to raise the naija hip hop game if we are always lying to ourselves? 

na dem sabi

I will look for the song you mentioned and have a listen. If this guy's style is as a comic rapper then fine. That explains it all. 

People get so touchy

DBR:
rapjunkie
Do u have the "illegal Mixtape"?
Listen to the last track, it's an interview.
He explained that he had to kinda try to do wat will sell in 9ja wit the "Talk bout it" album.
Then the "Illegal mixtape" was for heads. while the "One" is like the very M.i that likes to create unusual music.
I dont think it's a bad idea, especially if the 3 works come corret and represents the classifications.
At lest it means the boy is really workin, unlike some other dudes who dont even have mixtapes and they claimin kingship and stuff.
I like when smone is deligent. Lets see the outcome of "one" i hope it does well, i like the "illegal mxtape" so im sure i'll like "one" too.
oNe

@DBR

I must agree with that.

Nothing wrong with MI thinking outside the box. Just got to make sure.

Thanks. No I ain't got a the mixtape. Any links?

Cheers

koffman007:
guy i thought you were an intelligent person, can you cook in a kettle, but u know what, this thread cam go on and on cos im sure you have your own opinion and are entitled to it.About you saying Nigerians being dimwitted well they are not but DBANJ is one of the biggest artistes if not the biggest and i know its the majority of the populace that put him there and what knowledge is he saying? does that make them dimwitted? it's obvious you are someone who would go to any extent to prove a point that being said,it changes nothing ''opinions are like assholes everybody has one'',

I'm sorry you now think i am stupid. I thought the line read 'pot hot pass kettle' Didnt see anything about 'cooking in a kettle' Also I thought you could boil water in a kettle which would make it it hot.
I don't even understand what D'Banj has got to do with this so its a shame i'm not as intelligent as you. Godbless!!

OF COURSE opinions are like assholes. The problem is your opinions are comming OUT OF YOUR asshole.

You asked for this. The more you wind me up the more I will expose your King 'Lambo davirus'

Its your call. I like fighting dirty

When i initially saw this thread i was curious to know why people spent more time talking about bans and Mods and Tosinedad than the actual 'underwear' song  itself.

I have now listened to the song on www.notjustok.com and I can understand why.

hype man:
Fliss is on charts on radio with this track, Sh** gets head turning each time its played, nigg*s be like dam thats some sexual poetry,busting up da place. Boy help me out on this track now?!

Is there something I'm missing? Maybe the version I listened to has some bits cut out because I didnt hear any 'sexual poetry'. I'm trying my best to stay postive here. Anybody? Help??

koffman007:
rap junkie na wa o! lol , i've been a fan and still am and you do have a point but LAMBO DAVIRUS is FAR from wack, dont you agree. u picked up on lyrics you dont like, but they make sense, my questions are, level no pass level? bass no pass treble? pot no hot pass kettle? ghetto no pass ghetto? come on this is just a case of the kind of things u prefer to hear. its not intellectual lyricism but remember say the majority of the naija population no dey as intellectual as you o! so its not every hit dat will appeal to you in its entirety,

Pot no hot pass kettle? eerrrr, i don't think so.

So are you saying the majority of the naija population are dimwits who think that a pot is hotter than a kettle? 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

As long as MI and his fans recognise this, cool. MI is tight no doubt, but in the words of the lyrically gifted Lambo Davirus 'level get level, bass pass treble!!' lol,

Comparing MI to Mode is like comparing an Oga to his houseboy. 

Its an insult!!

Also I read an article on MI in Ladybrille and he said he was releasing an 'international' album for the western market?  WTF does that mean? Is he leaving us all ready to go and rap in the States? So he had to release a seperate album for us dummies in Naija first ?


LADYBRILLE.com: You will soon be releasing an album for the Western market and some people call you “Kanye West of the West” and even you have alluded to it in your lyrics, some say “Lil Wayne.” How do you intend to penetrate the Western market?
M.I.: [He laughs] Well for the Western market, I want to put my name out there because I believe it is an important statement to make for Africa, for Nigeria. I realize that I may not be the dude that will make it. I hope I am the guy and I hope I am someday at the Grammys and going up for an award. For now, I just want to put out the purest music I can and be good, like be very good. The “One” album I feel is better than Kanye West. It’s that good. . .I really think and work as hard as I can to let people know we can do it.

Hmmmmmm!!!

I would have thought that naija hip hop artists would be aiming to release 'international' standard albums already by now.

leereekz:
lol dude cmon! level pass level
bass pass treble
pot hot pass kettle
men! ghetto pass ghetto
u go dance so tey you go enter hospital
so this dance na for only strong strong people

it's a commercial naija track dude!Well i hear ur point of view but dude listen to his other jams dude is ''far'' from wack, he is just ''witty'',
Well like i said before again only my opinion,

So just because its a 'commercial naija track' anything is fine. As long as the artist is saying something into the MIC and the beat is a 'banger'?? hmmmmm!!!

I think you can go commercial without having to stoop to this level with the lyrics. Now you say this guy is 'witty'. Did you miss out the letter 'T" in that?   

Lets be frank. Those lyrics are garbage.

I don't think some people in here know how to count. 

Why not list every single song you saved in your multi gig MP3?


JEEEZ!!!

Justina 'omo 2 sexy'  and Omawunmi ' in D music' will form a group called '39 turning 21 '.

Their first single' i no be small pickin' becomes a huge hit when Keke and D1 do a rap on the remix.

The Federal govt will ban musicians from using the reggaeton beat in any further songs causing mass unrest and riots in lagos. MI,Mode 9 and Rugged will then create a supergroup called 'Baboons under the Moon' and release the record breaking album 'The Contradiction, Part 2' earning a tidy N10billion each from Alaba marketers.

Mode 9 will totally sell out and do a collabo with eldee and start singing in order to get a commercial hit . This will enrage Mode9 fans who drive him out of naija and he will have to live with amplified crew in america in exile

leereekz:
i feel the verses are cool his word play is very unique

Are u sure??

Is this an example of the 'unique word play' in the 2nd verse?:

level pass level, bass pass treble/
hot hot pass kettle, man ghetto pass ghetto/
u go dance so tey you go enter hospital/
so this dance na for only strong, strong people/

hmmmmmmm!!!

It should have been Pype feat. Kaynon.

i think these lines by Kaynon were ill advised:

the boy's really loose it aint just a name/
i'm a bachelor boy and so i plan to stay the same/
you aint my wife, ur just one night/
i'll take you home and show you how i lay pipe/      huh!!    ??

But i can see how the beat will be rocked at clubs

audio:
As vector is to Jay-Z
Pype is to Sean Paul

No originality. Studied the style and replicated it almost exactly.
But it will go down a storm in Naija, zombiefication is very common and is even encouraged.

@audio

This guy sounds NOTHING like sean paul like Vector does Jay Z!!!.Pype is doing dancehall and no be Sean Paul own the genre. Naija have always done thier versions of jamican influenced reggae, dancehall e.t.c

Think ras kimono, majek, mandators, blakky e.t.c

it is what it is 

Love the beat. Dont we already have a  'davirus' in Naija?

Anywayz, 1st verse is kinda cool, choruses are tight but lyrics in the verses get weaker and sort of collapse at the end.  So it seems like he rushed it in the studio. Could have been better. Maybe need a remix with other cats doing verses 2 & 3?

who did the beat??

Not feeling the musical direction she took with this song. We all know we have heard better south african ( from south africa!) tracks like this already and so that sort of dilutes the impact she COULD have made.

This girl actually has an AMAZING voice but its lost in this song.

Not my cup of tea, unfortunately.

I watched her on a nigezie interview and she is quite funny and charming. Certainly one to watch out for in the future.

afam4eva:
I think i feel foreign music more, maybe it's because they make less noise when singing.

huh!!!!!!

cheers.

This is what M9 must be afraid of.

Eldee is singing more than Banky W these days.

Seems he peaked with the trybesmen. 'Plenety nonsense' still one of my all time favourites. Why don't trybesmen reform? Freestyle & KB?

I notice that people don't say much about eldees 'big boy' album? Or even include him in polls or anything. Is he doing ok? reviews anybody? Or is he a Mod on here? The one that yabs Mode9.

audio:
There is more to hiphop than just dropping punchline after punchline. If you check the lyrical of all the top rappers, they are all story tellers. Their rapping about something. weaving a tale together using words, simile and verbs as their yarn.

It doesn't matter who you are, if you have some idea of rhyming structure and you sit down long enough with a dictionary and theasaurus, you will be the punchline king in no time.

Listen to the big hits - Stan by Eminem, Hero by Nas, My life - The Game, Get up - 50cent. They're telling stories not just dropping punchlines for the sake of it. In a freestyle or battle fine, but it's not enough for actual songs on an album. After the 3rd song, i always get bored.

My personal opinion

I agree.  Also the more you use them the less effective they are. But Mode has got better punchlines/wordplay than MI  and I'm a bit concerned about MI's originality after seeing DBR's recent post

@ Javalove
@DBR

You guys are on another something!!!         You don't mess about when it comes to lyrics.

@DBR

Not trying to stir controversy but there are a few startling similarities between the lines you put up there of Mode & MI. Too many to be coincidental, get what i'm saying?

Hmmmmm!!!!

pureminded:
Artiste on here, I dont also support this but this is our own land (9ja) it has to be done, it's part of your sacrifice. Look for money and get your stuff pushed and at the end of the day your gon laugh when the gains starts popping in,

At the end of the day this guy dey talk true. I don't encourage it either but it has to be done. But D.J's should not hold people to ransome with extortionate requests. If its wack and you know you wont play it then DON'T take the money.!! Simple as! AND DON'T BE TOO GREEDY OR GOD WILL PUNISH YOU!! ( Think that worked? )

fegflu:
It is Only in Nigeria that u need qualification to do everything. the world has change far away from such ideas. Experience is wat matters now. Go out of the country and c if qaulification is an issue 2 get a job.

Is this guy ignorant or what? JEEEEZZZZZ!!!!

For anybody to raise this as a serious argument is shameful. This is why Naija is still in a mess after 48 years of so -called 'independence.'!!!!
