@ tonye-t
hold it b4 u go bout dissin tosinaded@

na onli una wey love mode nine know music abi?
n***a before u go ard ranting bout how well u knw music, lemme ask u,
did u mean RELEASED or REALIZED? lol!

julian 21:

2 years is not too long to wait,as long as his debut album shits on anything ever put out by mode9.

it will probably take mode 9 a millenium to put out an album with mass appeal.

yeah, emphasis on MASS APPEAL,
bout tym we let these Mode nine junkies know dat just cos they like him doesnt mean he puts out good ish

julian 21:



who cares?who will buy it apart from his immediate family and other people like you.
go alaba,paradigm shift full shelf,e no dey sell.pirates no even gree pirate am.

Juli u r gon make me crack to death! but u were ryt, even pirates no gree pirate am
and dats y i've been able to monitor his sales figure up to the minute, with flawless precision,
hold on lemme check, WONDERFUL!!!!
The  Paradigm shift has yet sold 99 copies since it was released!
someone pls step up n buy d hundredth CD so he cld claim our hourly prize .

yeah r we gon tear ya into pieces, dont even got there, cos Sauce baba's proven a coupla tyms he's worth waitin for, even if it took his album anoda five years, he'd still be bangin' si mi leti, tell me who dont love the thing he did with Knighthauz.

Dude y d beef?

waoh my broda be askin me y i'm laughin @ ma pc at dis tym of d nyt,
ne'er knew we had a committee of M9 haters,
am i glad i'm not da onli one,
sori i meant mode nine, aint gonna abbrev8 his name,
heard he's been goin bout excited cos his abbrevtn 'M9' is kinda similar to 'M.I',
now he's gon be a commensal to mista incredible?
don't get me wrong, i respeck his hustle,
but we's just gotta let him know he's not d best n not even close,
cos takeaway all d swag n wealth peeps like Jay Z's got,
aint no one's gon tell ya he's one of the greatest,
so to stay on top, u ve just gotta have cheese, n stack em up pretty tightly,
nobody wanna lissen to a broke ass nigga rhyming,
we just lissen to his punchlines n say 'damn, dat was ill',
but not enuf to mount any challenge to the crown
n even tho i kinda love dat Deathblow diss ('spite of d fact he was dissin ma very own)
i'd say it'd take more dan dat to get me hooked to broke ass mode nine.
suddenly Illbliss n Joe Spasm wanna join in da beef?
n***a be tellin us, 'u think say na beans to burst sixteen'? shut up jooo
been hearing dat dumb a** song since 2004!!!
dude soon u gon be beggin for shows in Uganda!

50 came out n destroyed guys like Jada n Rule,
Rugged did d same wit guys like Rasqie, Maintain n Eedris,
n when he was fresh, 50 was beef all da way,
xtendin it to Fat joe, Nas, Dipset, etc
but recently Ricky "da boss" Ross tried to beef him,
n 50 extended the olive branch to him, cos he knew he was getting so much paper,
there was hardly time to beef,
maybe 4 years ago, 50 woulda annihilated him n sent him to Miami,
but now he aint got no tym for that,
cos he's had his fair share of beef,
using it to get what he wanted-
create da buzz n get da hype,
Ruggedy's just like 50 if u know what i mean,
so here's ma advice to mode nine-
keep 'keepin it real' n lets c where it gets ya!



much luv to Ikechukwu, Naeto C, MI, Knighthouse, SauceKid, Eldee n Proto

@ Sauron
So cos we think Rugged's got mass appeal, richer, more stacked n packaged n a better rapper compared to ur Mode 9, u say it appeals to dumb niggas like us, lissen, we dont like him not cos he dont spit well, but cos he thinks he's da best, n he aint even close, Talk bout Common or Mosdef coming out to lay claims to da Rap throne, i'd bleeping shank them meself b4 they got close.
u c dude, in the end, mass appeal counts, cos in the streets everyone be talkin bout dudes they see on tv and attend their shows, not one with a psychotic flow dat murders metaphors often n leaves u sayin, ok, his line r tight, so what? cos thr r no killer points in his flows, his rhymes r so boring n predictable, dats y even tho he did a song for ma club Arsenal, I STILL HATE HIM.

eleshin:

they are crazy,close to you banned after a year of release!

same thing i was thinking!!!

@ Hansibone n Kay29000
10ks for numbering ur top 5. the rest of them just listed rappers in any order. I think we do ve a ryt 2 know what ur pecking order is,
.
@ Young K: dude, u did well in ur analysis, particularly bout Naeto n wat u said bout Mode bein more of a KRS1,

@ all:
I'd say this again, for y'all who picked Mode cos of word of mouf (cos when u argue with rap fanatics in d classroom or any fora, all u heard was Mode's punchlines were da illest) n so u picked him so u'd not be seen as one who isn't in too deep into rap: Mode ain't nothin but shit! his style's wack, using old beats like we was in the 80's, where d Bleep is dat gon get him? lets see, no where near da streets, no where near shows, n nothing but low chips. Okay, he got punchlines, but is he da best? fcukin no way homes! There's lil dudes with sick flows givin him a run for that which he claims to be his crown- Lyricism. And Bleep it, but i think MCs wanna claim to be lyricists or "conscious rappers" cos their shit don't sell n gain radio rotation like MC's who r d best of all worlds (rap, lyrics, punchlines, singin, u name it- like ELdee da don). Suddenly he pops out n takes a swipe at niggas who rap in pidgin, n calls rappers who do party jams (like Ruggedy baba), sellouts.

So logically, Kanye West is a sellout cos he's singin now? or Weezy F Baby is a sellout cos he's doing a rock album?! or Joe Camel sold out when he did Encore? Mode Ni**a, stop hatin, just cos he studied all da classics dont mean he's da best, flavours r different, n flavours make da game interesting n spicy. Hell, i could name 10 naija rappers better dan him, (punchlines or not)

Enuf said, my top 5:

5. Ruggedman (he's a legend, but he seems on a nosedive)
4. Eldee da don (yeah, Bleep wat anybody thinks but dis guy's still one of d best, n now he's bringin up soldiers like Proto (gotta check Proto out),
3. Eedris (let's b honest, der was dis time we all was feelin dis dude. hate or love him, he's one of da pioneers)
2. Naeto C, sweet like Nutri C (he ma fav, coulda been no 1 save 4 da fact dat he's not takin dis rap shit 2 c-rious as he's gone back 4 his Masters,
1. The Most Incredible outta Naija. who else? M.I.


apparently, da new kids r taking over da block. But i gotta giv credits to a wole lotta rappers who r repping good, but couldnt be on d list cos dey drop one time hits, or flash in d pans every now n then, bt they're coming up though,

Ikechukwu (sleeping giant)
Blaise (i luv dis girl)
Proto (nice one in Eldee's One in a million song)
Illbliss (fine lyics)
Nigga Raw (credits to his style n flow)
Kel (sweet girl wit a touch of swag)
FreeStyle,
IGHO
SauceKid (no 1 swag kid)
Overdose (nice flows)
etc,

Mode 9's contradiction is the bleeping dumbest rap song i've lissened to in recent times. That guy's so dumb, going about parading himself as a lyricist, lyri-fcukin-what?! n his beats r so antiquated, so un-modernised. He's gonna keep starving if he continues like that, i hate him n his songs, i mean, just cos he scored success with that Elbow room song dont make him a rapstar, he should go n take rap lessons from da others, or call ir a wrap!

Voltron, who started this thread, gosh, where ve i been?! Voltron is the ish, used to love to draw the lions wayback in pry sch, we gotta start other threads for the rest, Speed racer, Fraggle rock, rent-a-ghost, Dr Who, Robin Hood, Superted, etc. or whaddya think?

YourFather:

What made a mockery of the awards are many but two stand out:

1. Wind am well winning best video, were they high This is a video that shouldn't have been nominated in the first place. This is not even the best video from his record label, so by what strech of the imagination does it end up been the best in Africa.

2. Nateo C winning best new act Over 9ice, hmmm How?

So much for credibility.

Is 9ce a NEW ACT?
FYI, this is his sophomore album so he doesn't deserve it. Period!

Life's a bitch. Marriage is a snitch.
Why r there no perfect or near perfect marriages anymore?
These days its either the woman's cheating,the man is cheating or both are!
Jeez, this trend is bout to reshape my ideologies in marriage.
hell, i dont even understand y they got to coexist as man n wife,
well mine wasnt so bad only my dear mom had to expire 13yrs back, cos of tumor complications,
used to say i'll get maried before i'm 27, but these days i dunno if i ever want to take the vow. . .
n i got a lil sis who, cos she thinks she's in luv wants to go get married next year. . .
prolly soon we would be called to settle the bickerings, accusations n counter accusations, f@*K. . .
well its an institution God founded so i guess we'll all just have to fulfil it,
but not rushing into it to fulfil all righteousness.

@ poster:
i really don't know how to pacify u, but i'll say this, i'm just a novice @ mariage issues, so i'll say this:
It's pretty much easy givin one an advise than keepin it, n though many people ve given reasonable bits of advice to u, i know this:
u r gon prolly say to urself, i'm a get my pound of flesh n get some one else to satisfy me. . .
try to resist that thought, so u wont share the guilt (note: not the blame o! cos we all know he'll always be the one to be blamed).

Peace be with u.

So what will u guys say 'bout my coz who went to an interview well suited up and for the first couple of minutes performed well n thrilled the panel, only to discover while taking his exit that the heels of his shoes just came off! . So the panel noticed it and seeing that he had screwed up a job he almost had in his grip, he begged them to give him the job so he could buy himself better shoes!
Of course he didn't get the job!

i swear Gallas'll die an Escobar death!

the good thing bout being an Arsenal fan is, expect little or nothin, n when big thangs r popped, rejoice like its da biggest n most imptt win of the season. I've learnt that the hard way.
i'm not gon cry today, no, i wont, _{[s](sobbing),} [/s] nah, never_{! (weeping),} Noooooo!

@ Sauron
the plot? AW never had any plot.
Gosh i've never seen him this confused!

Cristalz:

Hmm. . .they should be fighting in the dressing-room now

yeah n i wish one of 'em could beat up Gallas for me! how i h8 him. . .

Shank- julie

Enya- Only Time

Durella- Shayo

u just had to use the topic to lure us in, berra watch it!

so who's our new Cap'n?

hope this ain't da Dragnet that has been screwing we grad8s up?

dont be hating, at least u guys should look back to da good old days when AIT jams ruled, they were young n fresh then, and at least we all loved them.
I think what we should hate bout em shld be how they treat artistes signed up to their record label, Their use n dump attitude!
