@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

V read an interview where mode was kinda hypin mi in 2007.He was lyk this kid is good!So i dnt get wot dat dude was sayin when he said if sum1 is down, Bla bla bla.Leave modo out of this one.If dem wan truly beef.I go no say na tjoe plan am.

This na Mr International vs Mr Incredible.

Make una bone,i dey feel the guy since him verse 4 big boy.As a matter of fact.I want 'pop off' to take on a rapper 4 nigeria.E go murder die

@prince
nah,i aint obssesed.U r d one obsessed wiv eminem.Mode is nt evn my best rapper.Am jst pointing out ur bias conclusions. n i c nuffin wrong wiv his delivery.If u lyk rappers wit light voice.I lyk d ones wiv deep voice.

U ppl come ere.Argue unnecessarily,leads to insults.Then u can now exhibit ur skill in battling,then u start to diss.Uhm gud strategy for publicity

@bamsyl
on point again.
@prince
abt crowd moving.Could Nas move the crowd when he came to naija.Did u see wot nelly did?Got d crowd blowin up.Because majority of nigerians are used to his kind of rap.Why mode doesnt move every crowd is cos they are not used to his kind of rap.If eminem comes to nigeria.He wont move half of d crowd.So why does his delivery not come into question?If mode has bad delivery then rick ross,krs one,methodman,craigmac got bad delivery.No review has ever questioned his delivery.Wot makes a good delivery?Does mode slip of beat?U guys jst believe u knw it all.Cos u dont lyk his voice makes his delivry bad.I bet dj zeez wil get d crowd movin ere n eminem wil be dullin, Nigerians wan party

@bamsyle
ride on mane.I enjoy ur analysis,

@dammiecool
i see u.Una too lyk mode9.Any hiphop thread mode9 name must come up.Leave d old man now.No make am develop hypertension.
Honestly i no like those f words wey im use sha
@tosin
Go ahead tell me everything Nas said on ether were all on point.N game's diss track to jigga.When im reach mode own.E go turn wahala
@prince
sorry.It wont be banned.He has already shot a video for it.

Dammiecool enjoy ur thread.Lets see how many peeps are gonna comment.I no say na java trouble u dey find

@eldee
u quarrel wiv everybody?Check urself,dont u think u r d one wiv d problem.As of .Matter of fact.U write lyk a sadist.Where u molested while u were a kid?.That wastage of education fees n d word 'plonker' u normally use on NLaint u tired.If mode bites n i knw.I wil say(lyk when he said generic version n selling out the garden n some others)from dbr analysis mi bit some mode lines.Why r u arguin blindly.If u lyk pick a chambers dictionary to insult.I no send u.Ur papa no teach u how to argue without insulting ppl.Childish maggot

@eldee
study my scripts like java mi
i write cyphas in java script by mode
if xxl saw these rhymes they will stil say its swagger jackin.The borrower(mi) n the lender(mode9).As far one of em has made similar statement.No matter how the jacker rephrases itjacking na jacking.Its wise u keep off.As a matter of fact.All rappers are guilty of stealing hot lines

@sauron
i didnt add crowd appeal to it.I was tryna explain to eldee there.
i disagree wit ya on the internal rhymin.Rakim was the first to introduce dat.He was d first to introduce the use of metaphors that v multiple meanings.Lyricism started with him
i agree wit ya on d multi syllable rhymin!Thats eminem.I used to be an eminem fan.Stopped when i startd listening to concious rappers more

And i dont think mi wld deliver/survive when spittin on boom bap and beats with hard hittin drums

@sauron
u listened to ovakillin,ice prince made d track for me.I didnt really feel dat every1 'singin d blues lyk chelsea'.Mode kicks knowledge better dan MI while rappin.Check contradictn.Safe got me standing still,d 1st time i hrd it,brilliant,so creative.Wetin vex me,ppl startd callin it 'off d head freestyl'.He didnt write that?Some1 evn said the whole illegal mixtape was not written.I dont evn like it when rappers start tpainin.(mi's vou dont know)
@eldee
Cos rappers rhyme,doesnt make em poets.Pacs poetry was bad.The only Nigerian rap tracks v hrd,that came close to poetry was contradiction n crowd mentality.Check luda's theatre of d minds intro!That was poetry n lupe's the cool,coolest, MI hardly tells imaginative stories.I dig rugged's flesh to flesh to death
MI came to benin,was told to freestyl,he did d endin of safe,on STV top ten,he spat like 6bars.Didnt last long on mad skills, He could be vulnerable.In Benin ere,most hood guys!My street.Lots of friends hood.Talk mode.Some dnt get to vote.I dnt evn vote self.Mode is more popular ere.

i swear this argument no go finish.Make we rest.

@sauron
mode got me confused wit that line.I no go lie.I didnt actually knw wot he meant.Bt i knw stars are bigger.
i was studyin physics b4 transferin to mathematics/economics.Mass is the concentration of matter in a body.So mass determines how heavy it wil be.Surface area is the best criterion

@sauron
bros,ppl get to pay too much attention to mode9 lyrics cos he's been acclaimed so lyrical.MI says rubbish too.Every1 is kinda guilty.No body is perfect u knw.U knw that am not a star,i'm a bigger planet than jupiter caused chaos in ere bt i read u guys comment,u guys erred too by usin mass to determine if planets r bigger than stars, when tryin to prove that shit was wrong.U might tip mi best,i respect that,bt i dnt think so,jst my opinion.We dont really knw u knw.Thats y i dnt say mode is my best.I dnt usually say mode is nigeria's best.The closest v said is he is probably the best.I jst kinda lyk how he uses samples.N his shit r always different frm wot otha nigerians serve. n get great reviews abroad too.i lyk mi too bt not dat mch.Wot kind of rap do u lyk.I jst love east coast cats raps

@eldee
assumption is mother of all Bleep ups.Go market if u see talibs album 4 market tomorrow tell me.I didnt remember using swear words on u.Sauron replied lyk a gent.U feel u know rap enuff to start talkin who is best.U knw nothin.U v no sufficient knowledge of rap to decide who is best neither am i?Only d owners are.Even a vote doesnt decide 4 me,cos majority cld be wrong.MI aint a gud story teller,he aint so brilliant wit word play,metaphors,use of poetry.If he lacks this wot makes him best.Go listen to lupe n listen to sublime rhyme schemes,gud story tellin,brilliant use of poetry,the best track on talk abt it is crowd mentality,noone evn talks abt that track, Tell me if teaser na rap?If u feel he is ur best.Fine,u v no right to decide for others.Different strokes for different folks.Cos he is nt my best.I knw a bost of girls that feel he aint!And wot does me buyin kweli album yesterday relate wit whose best.

@sauron
i read ur battles.I saw ur ability.Good.Abt delivery.Mode kinda flow was hot in mid 90's.Why i dig this guy is that he floated american underground rap in naija mainstream n he is audible,lyk when he flows fast.He does that without strain n doesnt go offbeat.His beats r mostly boom bap, His delivery aint so bad.He kinda changed his delivery in badman(v u listened), Be frank if we start puttin up his tyte lines his been doin frm malcolm ix tru mixtapes n now mode ova premo,stil dem never finish.Its gonna be a novel.Undisputed MI got an admirable voice n best rap styl.U can get attracted to d song by d voice.Check around lupe fiasco was said to v d best flow in d industry.2 classic albums.Bt neva been called best.He was jst tagged the leader of the new school, To be frank.I dont think i wont listen to rap again if jay,nas,game,eminem,lupe,kweli,kanye(think i can do witout him),papoose quits.I cant stand these new guys(they all sound alike).And most of the southern rappers are whack(i like luda n jeezy,ross cos of pot of miami sha).Well i dont think mi is best,rugged,mode,terry,freestyl,iceberg slim,pop off,ghetto p still dey.

@deji
no wetin u explain.Dem no go hear!Leave em
@sauron
if u love rakim,krs one,u wil like mode.Mode got a bit of rakim(brought use of metaphors,wordplay n all that)check out rappers that came afta him they wanted to be lyrical as well.
@everyone
what makes a fighter d best?His skill,strength.Wot makes an emcee best?Go ahead n tell me is by making popular raps i.e pop rap.Danceable raps.Its the ability of d rapper?Wot r the criteria to knw to best rapper?Is it ur lyrics or otherwise.Lyrics is the strength of a rapper.Mode is jst a case of a king is not respectd in his own land.Talib kweli had a freestyl wiv him,n said this guy got good metaphnrs.Remember kweli,the guy jigga said 'if skills sold,truth be told,i'd probably be,lyrically talib kweli.Jay also felt modes rhyme.Jungle brothers came down ere to see him,did 5 tracks wiv him. and for pentium ix should be called a classic by an intertanational medium.Mane this man is probably gonna be naija's greatest emcee of all time.If MI cant match mode lyrically,there's no way,i solo lyk isolo crooner is best.
@tosin
to me hiphop is dead n hiphop hardly exists in naija.I even rate sauce above mi,if u bring individual abilities mi cant match many rappers in naija.Dont lie,did u listen to eldee's return of the king album,tell me a track in that album that cant match mi's talk abt it,i hardly skip a track in return of da king.How come u ppl didnt call that album a classic.Una go dey make noise.Talk abt it didnt wow me,i sold it afta one play!Una dey shout.If that album is a classic here,it wil be elsewhere,i mean internationally(dem talk hiphop is universal)if na lie tell me why nas illmatic is a classic to u

@eldee
dont impose ur views on others.MI aint naija's best.He is ur best.Its all clear lil wayne n kanye are ur best in da world.Jst one album!You guyz sayin this suck

Ne-yo good.Bt R.Kelly more versatile wit his lyrics,talks abt otha things aside love songs bt this diss track was whack.Ne-yo is not young.That guy is 30YRS.When im wan reach r.Kelly when he is 40?He startd his singin late

@dammiecool
the first was kinda femi kuti,bt as u knw,femi is probably d biggest out of naija.Grammy nominee,international record label,he worked wit common n mos def.He also brought kweli to d shrine,after mtv brought him to shoot a video. ere.Am talking abt rap ere.Not our local genres.V not heard any rapper that did.Ereestyl took a sample,2face did wit wyclef,sway.2face aint a rapper n sway aint an american rapper.He reps uk bt signed to konvict.This yoruba man bring ppl come.Live recording in same studin.Not patch patch work.Im try

@dammiecool
No matter how u history small,na history.when Bash ali dey chase history abt.No be history e fnr be.Face fact.mode is the 1st naija based rapper to feature an american rapper.Big,medium,or small.Afterall the 1st aeroplane was not as superior as d new airbus.If i was over doin this i for open a fresh thread.The fact remains its gud for naija hiphop.Dem dey hear our noise.As a matter of fact.Aside lupe fiasco,papoose,juelz,ross,young jeezy,kanye,game,ludacris.i stil listen to the same old rappers of 10yrs ago.The recent ones are whack.I no dey lie.Ace hood,2pistols,soulja boy are annoyin its now cool for rappers to sing.I only listen to east cost raps now.I swear many naija rappers rap pass most of d present mainstream american rappers.Am pro NYC(home of greatest rappers)if na lie,name a great emcee/lyricist that U respect wey no come frm ney york.No name bling bling rappers

@dammiecool
i knw say,u go comment.Remove kanye n snoop.Dem popular bt cant neva be d greatest emcees top 10 list.As my friend said kanye rapping died afta late registration.If it was nas,rakim,krs,jigga.That wld v been Grand history.Make una dey deceive una self say underground dey exist for naija rap.Underground raps r different frm mainstream(pop)raps.Jst lyk NBA n streetball.Becos person neva popular.Dem go say na underground hiphop him dey do when im dey do party rap.Rubbish.
Mode is called king of the underground cos he surprisingly made american underground rap styl popular in naija mainstream and made himself popular wit that without falling to mass appeal.If not him,protech,str8buttah wld v not been heard.Mode9 na mainstream artiste for naija as well as ruggedman,MI,Terry da rapman,illbliss,naeto c,ikechukwu.U fit cal protech,fecko undaground
jungle brothers initiated wot em dela soul,a tribe called quest in wch Q tip is a member started doin later.Now jay z,lupe fiasco,kweli are mixin jazz,soul wit hiphop.Jungle brothers album was among vh1 greatest hiphop album top 100.Is that an underground hiphop feat.They r wot they call alternative hiphop group.Cest fini

@rapjunkie
Atleast his skills brought them here.U r right,bt check this.Mode is a 70's baby,think of any old good emcee,mode posseses a molecule out of most of everyone.Got a bit of d metaphorical rakim,the flair of krs one,craig mac,n some others.Since the jungle bros,no fit do collabo wit those emcees.They saw it in one person that wil be delighted to do a track wit em at no cost.Lol
But them coming here,is history to be frank.Cos aside femi kuti dat worked wit mos def n common in his fight to win album,he is the first to do,not a track,five tracks wit an american based rapper.Besides Femi is an international artiste then wit motown records n now wrasse records.
Since he no fit fulfil his dream collabo wit krs one wit scratches frm dj premier make im manage dis one.This no be samplin to get level,lyk freestyl.This na live in studio recording.If u look at it,the only recent rap acts mode wld v loved in his lifetym to feature him wld v been talib kweli,jay z,nas.The trio have hailed him.Make im stil manage that one.Lol.Sow ur coat according to ur size.Anyhow im don try.Congrats man

@everyone
it aint so bad of java for not posting links.At least.It gets ppl informed.I didnt evn knw abt d track.I no evn get hope of listenin to d track.Because rhythm 4 benin.Dem no play new songs.Dem neva evn play badman.Only songs that v party instrumentals they play.
Anyway,i remember sayin mode was plannin a track wit american hip hop group,the jungle brothers(1st ppl to fusion jazz n hiphop).They mailed him for a collabo,now,i think one of em came to nigeria and mode said five tracks v been recorded.Is this some kind of history?Pictures at www.myspace.com/modenine

@javalove
the track was done last yr when mode was in S.A for emcee africa.I think its proverbs track.He released his album june,n i read comments on d track.Think they love d track n i think its d most popular out of da album.U might nt get a download link yet except mode does it himself

Whenever he drops that album,i dont see selling Gold within 5months.Cos he reps DC.Unknown region for hip hop.The guy is abt 28years old.How can he copyin a 27yr old lupe fiasco(my best rapper unda 30 as in newschool).I think drake sound like him too.In short most new alternative hiphop acts sound like talib kweli,kanye n lupe and a little lil wayne flair

@dammiecool
sometimes i dey wonder wetin modey do u oh.Quit hatin,d beef wit rugged is practically dead.Am not sayin u should like him bt stil dey notice sumtin gud abt d guy.By d way y i c ur name 4 www.modenine.ning.com. the interchangin of ur name (dammiekool) no deceive me.Its clear ur lyk d guy bt u wan jst find trouble 4 NL

@ofoka
i jst visited www.nigerianhiphop.net , They performed at the SMVA

@ofokasibe
i reason am too oh,overkillin n swaggaman dope/badman dem somehow similar maybe its becos its southern.Cos if i play my president is black,i go play overkillin,then badman.They r kinda similar.Just lyk terry g,k solo n raggaeton beats.,evn at times polow da don beats r similar.Since mode add am 4 mode ova premo mixtape.It means its old
