@Eldee. I put it to you this way. People easily get carried away with the 9ice was unknown before Ruggedybaba only because of the seemingly sudden stratopherical rise at the time of Gongo Aso. Heck, by the time RM and 2shotz appeared alonside him on StreetCredibilty he had far outshone them in star status.

It makes for good copy and panders to our sense of a good tale to just say he was nobody, after so and so he became a somebody. Fallacy. See Rhymsteins post above. He was already on TV with 2shotz on a song that had heavy rotation (not above average as Rhymstein says). And we are now to believe that circle was being repeated with Ruggedybaba. Wrong.

Again see Rhymstein buttress my point on WHAT YOU DO after a featuring on a hit. What happened to the likes of C-Mion. Was he not on 1 or 2 hooks?

And with RM the situation then is the same as it was before Unstoppable. Feature here , feature there. No hit to talk of, generally no big buzz. 'Hibernation' lo n jebe. Enter Taaalk I am Lizzening. Buzz. My cynical mind will not let me pass up this opportunity to say 9ice has now for the second time help in putting RM back up there.

And Eldee fi big name argument yi le. You are just stating the obvious. Where you were eeermish is in tryna allude that if you remove a big name from a track it WON'T be a hit. There were no big names Sauce and his boys came on the scene, Sultan na stand alone when he did Mathematics.

@rhymstein e be like una sabi debate pass me. Cos with just 2points you have shown what I'm tryna tell Eldee. 9ice was not unknown before Gongoasa.
Heck he was my gf and her crew's star crush at the time. And I used to tell them 'na only because he Slim pass me'. He was not a nobody, you can only say dat when you compare with his gongoaso status.

Little money? Before make them talk? Before ruggedybaba? Eldee fi one line dismissal si le. The matter at hand is how many people knew 9ice at the time of Ruggedybaba. MusicAfrica says I can now answer a lot. I have said before, it is a widely perceived misconception.

Again Eldee, what he did on Ruggedybaba, HE HAD DONE BEFORE.

Eldee did you miss where I called RM rapper in hybernation? Big or no big he needed a hit just like the next rapper. 9ice gave him that hit.

Shebi u get plenty hardcopy albums abi. Aimoye featurings. If we are strictly talking featuring on hits, what YOU DO on the feature and what YOU DO after that is what makes you.

But meanwhile Eldee, you are dangerously towing this strange line of thought that only big names make hits. Strange indeed my man.

Eldee you are clouding the matter with background people. Kanye was background until the crash. The crux of the matter is how much of 'life' did RM actually give 9ice.

I still stand by my Brymo Iceprinze comment. They are both artistes signed to the same label. IcePrinze has not played any bigger part in making Brymo a star than Brymo has played in putting him a notch higher in the ratings.

Recently it was revealed that Waje was the girl on Do Me. PSquare dare not lay claim to 'being a big part' of her rise.

Where your arguments falls short is that contrary to what is some strangely widely perceived opinion, 9ice was not an unknown when he took the hook for Ruggedy baba. Again see my 'Make them talk reference'.

Even before that 2shotz once said he heard Little Money, I think, and he said 'I just have to have this guy on my track'. These are not some unknown underground tracks I'm talking about.

And at the time of Ruggedybaba RM was as he was before he released Unstoppable. A rapper in hybernation waiting for a big hit. My argument is 9ice gave him that hit, instead of the other way round.

There are people who contributed actively to making or 'being a big part to' who 9ice is. I have not heard them talk.

Hahahah, lmao at first big track. Eldee iwo lo n soro bayi. No let this ignorant people come dey quote you oh.

'Make them talk, ohun t'ori lobe. Ti won fi wa ru l'owo'.
Does that ring a bell? That is what RM heard and knew it was gonna be a good formula.

Funny you talk abt Ice writing the hook. You do know 9ice actually wrote the hook, named the track and the frigging album?

Abeg if lie wear puma dey run for many miles (one time for ceo for hia), one day one day truth go strollo catch up with am.

So yet again, who do who favor. Again one active participation. And no, inviting me to give you a memorable chorus to a hit song after you saw me create one before, aint one.

Seeeere oh, seeeere ayo. 2baba was a long necked, hungry looking dude in that hit. So na Tetuila make am now?

Again, one ACTIVE*

@eldee, I dare Iceprinze to come out and say he made Brymo. Brymo is signed to CC of cos they made him. 9ice is not signed to Rugged records, on the contrary his rendition of that chorus gave RM a hit track.

RM did not make 9ice, the truth is 9ice helped put him back on a pedestal.

Again let one ACTIVE participation of RM in the rise of 9ice. Anbody taaaaalk I am lizzening. Aaaawkay!!! Lol.

I can see ya'll still having a laff with this RM made 9ice nonsense. RM put 9ice on his first big stage hookum. Na RM wan sing the chorus of Ruggedybaba untop stage ni? 9ice gave him a hit track, jus as he gave 2shotz a hit track.

Name one other thing asides Ruggedybaba, which I've rearranged for ur thinking up there, that points to any sort of contribution to 9ice's career. Utter nonsense.

Toni can lay claim to ACTIVELY helping his career as his publicist and manager. But RM, plzzz. What else won't we hear IcePrinze made Brymo? ToniTetuila made 2face?

From Tech9 on twitter, this boy is not smiling:

'I find it weird that people tell me I shoudn't share my thoughts about football on twitter just because I'm a footballer.

If someone doesn't want to know what I think about football then go and follow Katie Price. I write to true Arsenal supporters '

^^^lost, son?

Folly abeg take am easy. Please let's be safe wherever we are oh.

A-40 abeg free the scummie jare. Even shekpe fan can't come here blow that level of dust outta his a$$.

Wigan gone abeg. Birmingham next. We will have 2 batches of the good stuff to consume. I dey wait.

@Debo the substitutions were meant to turn the tides and help us push them back. We were under the cosh, as they say, for a wile before they did get that corner.

Arshavin is so horrible in defense mode, seriously. And it seems the league is catching on to it. When he changed wings, the changed the channel of their attacks.

Wenger delayed his substitutions last season, and then delayed it again this year. Shake my head for the man.

Re: Djorou, please have a look at Diaby and see why AW doesn't play him in all matches. Long layoff and constant niggles here and there is already working against his career. We can have Djorou for a long time at Arsenal but he has to be eased it slowly.

Anyhoo. . .I wan go take opa eyin make I crash jare. Iya Nasiru stiff is back in the cupboard, no celebration today. Phaaaaaackkkk!!!!

Fergie wasn't telling Gibson to get up. That was the signal for soakit up. Meaning drop back and protect the lead. In my opinion I think that was a wrong call. United's harrying in d middle meant they didn't have time and space to put balls in properly.
Anyways, make e no be like say I vex, Hahahahahahahahaa!!! Another 2 points gone, truly a red and white xmas it seems.

intense serious ARSE whooping*

So after much bragging and subsequent intense serious ARSE this is the best comeback Lateef can come up with? Smh.

Dj DeeKay, abeg appropriate response for the occassion.

If we are AssAnal as una like to dey call am, is it safe to say we shat on u fo0l$ yesterday!!!

Dj DeeKay, abeg even tho I no go fit watch am untop my fone abeg I wee like to dedicate 'Jonzing World' to Shesea people especially Mr Ferriera the boot specialist.

*Prince Nasri is here the omo-oba, abi dem wan jonze oh*

Eldee is on a rolllll. Fine form my man!!!

Bwahahahahahahahahah!!!

Yeah Djorou like millions of people world over just imagined the interceptions, some last ditch effort too, that he had to make last nite. And Drogba just stood about waiting for the ball to be taken off him evrytime.

Seriously man I'd expect this kinda sour grapes from noise making Shekpe fans. Oh I forget, u left the bar at 3-0.
