He's been in Benin since last yr,although he's lookin bad,bt nt mad lyk some papers claim.the edo state govt promised to rehab him.v met him 2ce n he's cool,

So wch ghost dat somebodi wan die come b for nw,nigerian rappers go jst dey beef ghost,get real n stop acting

@ofoka
Are u sure he's nt goin back,cos he left his daughter in america

Modey dey feature for non rap songs these days,wetin happen na?good move to be commercial.

Hope Da vinci Mode go sell,

Do u knw,u guys can make it possible,if u see d album,buy plenty,so u can either dash or sell it to ur friends rather dan givin dem to copy to their laptops.

Me,i dnt give any 9ja rap album out for copyin or listening,i either dash or sell it n get another one,thats how to make em sell

And na tjoe wan market am sef

@myself
When they r mentioning rappers,do u remember daddy yankee?n y does pitbull rap in english too?
And tell me,wot language u use tey post for NL?n d language wey dem tey teach u for skul?,the language d president uses when addressin d ppl of nigeria?d lang wey u take dey toast chick?

Krs1 raps in vernacular my ass,he's no 9gerian and u understand?da grin raps in vernacular,am a nigerian,he is too n i dnt understand.

I hear they r ova 400 tribes in nigeria,n d last tym i checkd,English was our lingua franca,

I listen to 9ja rappers,they mix all,pidgin,english,local lang,thats jst enough

Same as yankee guys,rap in english n fuse their bad english they speak(slang) lyk 'is u talking to me'

The tracks makin d album should be badman,loke,down,rap messiah,we dey vex,is this wot u want,d joint wit frank d nero myt nt make it

And i think he should cut out his normal 21 track album,this tym it should be 16

@olayokun
Ok o,dat album art on we dey vex cant be d album cover,i think dats a promo copy for radio deejays

Tell Mode9,to show us album cover n track listing,if d track listin is too demanding,at least album cover

@da whizkid
How does mode9 sound american?pherow wey get aboki accent,da grin fakes accent,
Listen to mode n sauce kid n tell me if d accent resemble?, he speaks english,

All of them are guilty of using american slangs,if dats wot make em fake accent.

And rapping in pidgin or ur local language in no way means u r keepin it real,wot r dey keeping real?a rap culture dat they dnt own,so rapping in ur local language means u r keepin 9ja rap real,dat only changes d genre,hop u knw,ragga n reggaeton r sub genre of hiphop,they r all rap influenced

@da blaze
Mode's voice doesnt change,doesnt evn sound american,when an american reviewed his work,he said if nt for his french accent,he wld v sworn,it was an american release,becos of d flavor of hiphop he dished out,

He raps in english,v heard him pidgin too,sounds d same,i think rugged has d american accent a lil but its infinitesimal,cos he mixes it up wit pidgin

The way da grin raps in yoruba,is dat how u speak yoruba,n he fakes his accent too,d way he starts an intro of a song is nt in yoruba accent bt he raps wit it,

lord of ajasa doesnt fake accent,nigga raw,sanchez,

@da blaze
Look these tracks,m.i's talk abt it,igho ft faze n mode9 getaway,terry da rapman, only 4 9ja,maga no need pay,fellow nigerians by mode9,lord jahza 'light up nigeria',, the ones i can think of now,they r lots of them dat are nt even directed at d government,some to their immediate environment n experiences

I dnt think ruggedman,pherowshuz,modenine,terry da rapman sound american or fake accent,when interviewed or when they rap in pidgin,d accent remains

overdose sound american bt sometimes uses hausa

@da blaze
Wch nigerian rapper no dey talk abt im country,his life,his experiences,n battles,v been thinkin,i cldnt find any,abeg,go listen to all nigerian rappers album,n tell me wch one wey no reflect were im come frm.

Dey dream for da grin there,he no fit break into southern n northern nigeria n u believe an average american kid wld buy or hail him,evn cypress hill n fat joe that r latinos rap wit english

@rapjunkie
Dem no born any 9ja rapper to go US to make mark or shake their rap audience,do u knw how many underground guys dat v nt made it,n got mad skills,u dey talk da grin,dat na bad market na,people no fit buy d album for benin,y we dnt understand,i cant start listening to beats n rhythm,rather,i'l chil wit sage has.son,i bought da grin cd since,i wan sell am,nobody wan buy,cos they dnt undastand d language,rap no be fuji or afrobeat o,u dey talk yankee

1st,d 9ja rapper cant be repping 9ja to v commercial success,he wld v to rep cities in yankee,like Atl,New york,major cities with gud rap audience

I remember when i 1st saw Wale in XXL around 2007,my friend told me,he wouldnt sell,cos he's reppin DC,and d boy no really sell.thats the thing,dats washington o,talkless of far away 9ja,in da grin's case,he wld be too complex,becos of his language,evn sunny ade was told to deliver in english then,he refused n was dropped frm island records

All those puerto ricans or latinos doin it in their language v their communities in US n they r neighbours,nt far away africa,lets be realistic

@aldon,darequam,charlesopp
U dare question mode's versatility,give me ruggeds tracks,dat r nt party tracks n lets count,versatility mode speaks on diff issues frm 419,skin is black,cry,ogun isoye,things fall apart,leaders of 2moro,n also battle raps n tell stories,so wots ur definition of versatility,makin dumb down tracks?

Mode use multies,he internal rhymes,he does it combined with wordplay n metas,so wot r u 3 talkin abt?
Enunciation?, shey mode lacks dat?does he slip off beat?,or sound strained when rapping?

Abeg dnt mislead ppl wit ur biased post,think b4
U post,or rather,listen to d artiste well b4 drawing conclusions

@eldee
U r a pirate,u shld be sued,a complete k'naan album,i go go inform am for twitter,

U 4ck up o,for one place sha,abt dj premo sendin him beats,he downloaded dat 4rm d net,i believe,cos i saw a site,where i saw all classic premo beats

How do u call it,gud music when u cant hear wot d artiste is sayn,so d beat n rhythm makes it gud?,i tire for NL ppl,patua is dope,any1 dat speaks english wld understand,same as pidgin english, rappin in a particular language lyk limits ur services,in benin,only few ppl knw da grin,
Pidgin is common in nigeria,i accept it,i dnt lyk it wen u use ur local language all tru,only satisfyin ur region

Pherow a pidgin english rapper?i dnt thinks so,his rapping in english songs r more dan d pidgin ones

I love it when terry goes wit pidgin

Evn tho u chop 2 plates of beans,u cldnt mess with this

Evn sanchez,sounds good,
E be like say dem giv u fanta take go buy malt,its impossible in this 4 u to find fault

K n x virus too

Children dey play for sand,make u go ready for ur turn, dat na punchline na

Tho God made man frm sand,
No mean say na dust,all man must yan, see wordplay frm RdR na

nigga raw dey vex me wit im own

For sure,eldee da don,trybesmen baby, love em den

Ruggedman,i no lyk am since bt i lyk ehen

I lyk wen pidgin is used bt i no lyk when dem go dey wit language wey i no understand, please i wil da grin appeal to us in d south,tho i lyk d flow bt its so borin listenin cos i knw dey hear 1 tin,n i skuled in lag o

@aldon
Na now ur brain no sharp at all,the 1st few bars of elbow room was wot?

Labor owners,always say there believe in me
Bt when its tym to drop the paper,there'll be leavin me,na wetin be dat?
The whole of dat fire track wit black solo

Kill em when i quote these,
Punchlines,metahors,spit em,til my throat bleeds
U r nt God,bt only d most high,when smoke weed

U cld see wordplay,multies,internal rhymes,metaphors both occuring at d same time, u go dey yarn rubbish


Call me d 9ja mercenary rhymin 4 pay
Nxt yr,u wld probably hear dat i will be writin 4 dre na wetin be dat,was it so different frm wot whizkid posted,I got more?i fit list 10 diff tracks,evn 1st verse of badman self join,ruggedman is no way bera when it comes to dat,abeg
And BTW,no naija rapper,i mean no 9ja rapper can come close to prov when it comes to multies n internal rhymes,he gives metas n punchlines wit em,evn american rappers wld hardly surpass him in dat aspect

U call 9ja hiphop101 concious?u r daft o?out of wot u wrote, the concious songs r if i cld,flesh 2 flesh 2 death,so love songs r nw concious songs?if ruggedy baba n d rest r concious den all modes songs without sexual talk,talkin abt his experiences are concious, leaders of 2moro,fellow nigerians,my skin is black,politics n lies,things fall apart r concious.when mode goes abt rapping against gangsta,bling bling rap,thats concious too

U posted them in rap battle thread under banging, sense u no get

And its nt a crime for mode9 nt to murder pro on a pro's track

@eldee
Rhythm=cadence=flow in rap,was a mistake n i didnt just see it,maybe i saw it 2yrs ago, was tryin to say enunciation n breath control, i admit,i goofed

But u r stil beggin d question MIstan,

My train of THOUGHT,run u over when u r on my TRACK.
Meanin,am serving on n off the COURT,wit wot i SPAT,
And i dare u,not to put d BEEF BACK,in a MEAT RACK,u r a WEAK BLACK,roasting lyk u r raw

@eldee
Shey u see combination of wordplay,metaphors,multies n internal rhymes n cohesion,each line relates wit d previous line,all at d same time,

U come dey yan opaks,i knw u wil stil argue u way out,dats ur trademark
N if u say im stalkin u,u fit call police or press charges,afterall u get post for NL

@da whizkid
Ur brain dey shake abi,aldon said rugged is beta dan mode cos rugged is concious,uses multies,i tell am make im tell me wots bein concious means n how it applies to rugged,those were multies correct,so mode9 doesnt do all those?dats wot am tryin to point out?mode rhymes internally too,and although artiste use vulgar languages n talk abt their sexual prowess,mode got more concious songs,so wot da hell was aldon talking abt?

@eldee
Wots delivery?flow is jst one aspect of delivery,wot abt cadence.NLanders interchange flow for delivery

@eldee
U r beggin d question, i said premo lyk, i.e boom bap n a spazmodic beat,nt some pop rap beats,u listed modern beat makers,don jazzie no be naija pop?,give him a boom bap beat,

Let me hear him flow,

With i solo lyk isolo how can i'm hot be best?

@java
