eldee:Sharaaaaaap there Eldee[i]gy[/i] So i guess if Drakes album does better than Nas' it means he got more influence than him? U dey fall ma hand o, u really dumbin down big time. Seriously, when M9 culdda been man of the moment "Crowd mentalically speakin" was when he dropped Malcom ix, but e'ryone knu he was years ahead of his time then. And eldee u kno M9 wont hop on track with just anybody, im sure there r some M.i collabos that u felt wasnt neccesary, no? eldee: Eldee[i]gy[/i] yea yea~~~he beat Jigga and kanye~~~like u dont kno wats up U didnt hav to chip that in dude, we all kno wat d deal is. Plus, Talk bout it didnt launch Jagz n Iceprince ooo. No dey talk wetin u no sabi. I knu Ice well far before M.i And haqve been hearin the duo of M.i and Jagz way b4 Talk About it. your over hypin is gettin outta hand oNe |

When one person masterfully gives us the best of both worlds, it's a higher level whether you like it or not. That's the only reason Jay-Z is rated with the Biggies and the Pacs. M.I didn't take lyricism to a higher level . . . he took that to a different level with his flow. But he took Nigerian hiphop to a higher level. . . in just three years, Nigerian hiphop has changed, and most of it is M.I's fault. One misconception you guys always drop is the 'Modenine's music is for smart people' maxim. No . . . Modenine all through his career has tried to make the average Nigerian appreciate lyrical artistry. That's why he tends to employ the teacher-like style in his rhymes. . . that's why he launches these wordplay-based albums through major marketers. If he was targeting only the hiphop heads, the internet is enough to do that. Now did he succeed at first . . . maybe a little, but not to the level of M.I. You now hear girls talkking about multies and wordplay. With M.I's flow, voice, delivery, he has taken this lyrical skillery to everyone. Modenine's doing just that now by actions like rapping in the autotune and still dropping heavy bars, dropping stretches of multisyllabic rhymes in Rap Messiah and stuff like that. At the end of the day, M.I set the blueprint . . . listen to Crowd Mentality again for an example of this. |

DBR: Exactly what I was saying . . . I didn't want to bring in commercial success but he kept posting it. I was just playing his game. Plus, Talk bout it didnt launch Jagz n Iceprince ooo. No dey talk wetin u no sabi. I knew J. Cole since he released The Come Up doesn't mean signing to Roc Nation isn't the launch of his career. The defining moment of their careers was Talk About It . . . make we go ask them?? oNe |

eldee:Au contraire, M9 set the blue print, he sensitize the genre, Mi just built on it. You cannot dismiss the foundational work of M9. It's easier to appreciate an edifice and forget how neccesary the foundation is. M9 no get im own flow,voice and delivery? And the lyrical SKILLERY u mentioned, can u tell me how it came about? See just 2 approaches: Bring pple up to where u at; or, Come down to where they at. M9 chose the former, Mi the latter. Definately the latter will get more crowd cos it involves dumbin down. How many girls were talkin multies, PLs and metas durin Ra, Nas, and all even when LL d ladies man was hot, even Jz~ they aint talkin bout stuff like that. cos really it's only heads that will go to such technicality, and knowledge grows and becomes general in time. An aside, did u see the sh!.t i dropped for u on WARCRAFT STATE OF MIND? U aint rallyin dudes to drop stuff again, u on to d nxt~~analysin lyrics oNe |
Re: I Just Might Buy Modenine's Album (davinci Mode) by eldee(m): 4:00pm On Mar 03, 2010 |
Au contraire, M9 set the blue print, he sensitize the genre, Mi just built on it. Of course I admitted that M9 was influential . . . but M.I's influence took it to a higher level. A level that even M9 is now benefitting from. Kama puro kama jale . . . M.I's voice, delivery and flow trumps M9. See just 2 approaches: Bring pple up to where u at; or, Come down to where they at. How did M.I dumb down?? He was the one that actually managed to bring them up. Modenine tried to, but didn't provide a ladder. . . dumb down is Ruggedman not M.I. How can you call 'coming at me is the only way you ever approach a star' dumbing down?? How many girls were talkin multies, PLs and metas durin Ra, Nas, and all Are you on Facebook?? Just go and see what people are posting in status boxes these dayz. An aside, did u see the droppings i dropped for u on WARCRAFT STATE OF MIND? Like Jay-Z, I'm on to the next one I saw it, I actually referred to it on the Fave Lines thread a few minutes ago. oNe |

Of course I admitted that M9 was influential . . . but M.I's influence took it to a higher level. your choice. I kno dudes who wanna puke when they hear Mi's voice. me i gbadun it sha! Flow, u cant say that either, cos M9 is always on point wit his flow, he even rates high in it by unbaised intnertional critque, neva off beat and breath control is sound. How did M.I dumb down?? He was the one that actually managed to bring them up. How can you call 'coming at me is the only way you ever approach a star' dumbing down??[quote][/quote] where did i say that ^^^^ is dumb down?? Howeva,U think dumpin down only refers to lyrics? eyaaaaaa Now, when hip hop now turns and sounds more POPish, almost turnin sing along nursery rhymes, it's equally dumbin down. Aint sayin ma boy M.i is excessively that ooo. Anyway, y'all kno i got his back. oNe |

Now the syndrom has caught up with Javalove What's the meaning of starting each post with Start and ending it with End Now the debate has shifted from tosin's thought to buy Da Vinci Mode or not. To be frank with you guys M.I is the most over-rated artiste in Nigeria. He is not all people claim for him. I bought his lat album, the tracks I can feel are Teaser because of General Pype & Blaze. I don't want to be tagged a hater the reason why I always stay far from debate concerning him. Talk About It wasn't just my kind of Favourite. Talking of flows I think Saucekid has a better flow than MI and (stand corrected) any Nigerian rapper |

IMO. . .MI is over-rated. . .I prefer Modenine to him in everything and I also think all of Modenine's albums (Malcolm IX:The Lost Sessions, Pentium IX:The Mixtape, E Plurubus Unum & The Paradigm Shift) $h!ts on MI's Talk About It. Na my 2kobo I dash una. . . Don't Hate! |
Re: I Just Might Buy Modenine's Album (davinci Mode) by tavarez(f): 2:35pm On Mar 04, 2010 |
and thats the final word on this thread please,, Modenine still outshines M.I in the hearts and Souls of real heads, and yeah M.i has more fans but like Canibus told LL "99% of your fans wear high heels", and on the 9ice feat M.I Safarawe he said and i quote " if you trying to take my pride/me and my guys go organize/and my Fans will Mobilize/WE will take you to the back and SODOMIZE ,well the last time i checked Sodomy didnt have any other meaning, welll please can M.I heads like eldee help me decipher this one?cuz i dont know ohh this is the link to the song below http://www.notjustok.com/2010/02/12/premiere-9ice-loni-ni-safaware-atamatase/?cp=all#comments WE DO IT FOR THE LOVE #nowplaying Knighthouse Feat Da grin,Jesse Jagz and Cartiair-Lime |
Re: I Just Might Buy Modenine's Album (davinci Mode) by eldee(m): 4:13pm On Mar 04, 2010 |
DBR:The fact that some people hate Alicia Keys' voice doesn't take anything from it. M.I's voice with his flow is what separates him from other Nigerian rapper . . . M.I rides the beat better than Modenine . . . we can't keep haggling like market women over facts like this. DBR:Hehehe . . . that's you guys' problem, what do you think pop means?? By your own definition Notorious B.I.G was pop?? Even DMX too?? You only dumb down when you say bullshit . . . appealing to musical aspect of hiphop (where hiphop actually started) doesn't mean you dumbed down, it just means you're a better artiste. tavarez: WTF!!! I cold write a book on M9's crap lines!!! Infact . . . why am I even talking, go to the 'Worst Lines in Nigerian songs' thread and see. And what's all this B.S about real heads?? Y'all need to grow up maynne, you sound like emo indie music fans that think Coldplay is not 'real rock'. |
Re: I Just Might Buy Modenine's Album (davinci Mode) by eldee(m): 4:23pm On Mar 04, 2010 |
Rhymstein: M9 never appealed to the musical half of hiphop presentation before M.I came. That's a fact . . . you can't stay here and shout till next year, that fact won't change. Rhymstein: What kind of girls do you roll with?? In the UK, girls are doing better than boys in university matriculation examinations. I guess those dumb girls only live in your area, cus I lived in Naija and I've not seen a girl that cannot 'decipher' basic pick-up lines. @topic I'm done discussing Modenine . . . I'm almost sounding like a groupie now. Next thing I'll start picking a dress for my date with Modenine like Javalove. |

Modenine is light years ahead of MI, SUE ME!!!! or berra still call d cops. . . @topic Mogbono feli feli, i'm spitting like makavelli veli, your lyrics are smelly smelly - MI I must confess that line was maddd dope!!! Its my favourite line ever End |

javalove: @topic Mogbono feli feli, i'm spitting like makavelli veli, your lyrics are smelly smelly - MI I must confess that line was maddd dope!!! Its my favourite line ever [quote][/quote] Wanna know what's my favourite line ever?? I'm a plane I'm a rocket I'm an eagle And it's plain how I rock the desert eagle No announcement, no Canibus-like bullshit name-dropping, that's how to do metaphorical wordplay . . . not 'I'm not a star, I'm a planet bigger than Jupiter' So have you picked a dress for the date with Modenine yet?? And for the venue, I recommend a trip to Silverbird Cinemas and then Nandos. It'll be sooooo romantic |

Re: I Just Might Buy Modenine's Album (davinci Mode) by DBR: 7:50am On Mar 05, 2010 |
eldee The fact that some people hate Alicia Keys' voice doesn't take anything from it.And M9 lyrics and voice no seperate am? dude!! SauceKid's voice and flow didnt seperate him too? U see u just established what im sayin', it's all bout choice. I luv M.i's voice, and i luv M9's too. Dude, there are some sound that pple dont consider hiphop sounds or beatz, ok. Yea there's a musical aspect of hiphop~~but will that be sayin the boombap hiphop beats aint musical? Fusion is what kinda adulterated wht is regarded as a hiphop beat. Just like there's a Jazz sound/beat or classical. Can u imagine Kanye or Jay elecronica lacin their kinda beat for Andrea Bocelli or Luciano Pavarotti? Yea they will do their stuff on it, and even by it gain a wider audience, but Pav wont be silly enuff to confuse wat a classical-classical sound is, and refer to a more pop or hiphop sound as being musical and sure Bocelli wont be that blind .
By what criteria? Thats your problem~~your choice of word. U shudda said he rides DIFFERENTLY, not better. Does M9 go off beat? ~Pause unneccesarily? ~Run outta breath? Hammerin' and believin a fictional-fact dont make it a realistic truth. Now dont be silly boy, neva said Biggie or DMX were pop. But if their sounds aint too different from the mainstream pop artiste of their time, then there's wahala. gettit? If the sounds/beatz u catch them on most timez are mainstream pop sound, there's trouble, No? WTF!!! I cold write a book on M9's crap lines!!!And u think same cant be done for all others? brathaaa pleazzeeeeeeeeeee!! oNe [quote][/quote] |

Re: I Just Might Buy Modenine's Album (davinci Mode) by eldee(m): 10:01am On Mar 05, 2010 |
DBR: Aiite, I'll rephrase it, the quality of M.I's voice separates him from other rappers in Nigeria. Who makes the rules?? You sit down sumwhere in your office and say this beat is hiphop and that is not hiphop . . . By your logic, Grandmaster Flash isn't hiphop . . . afterall it was way different from beats of the 90s. There are still some people that say that the only listen to rap music from the golden age/80s. DBR:'Adulerated'?? Fusion has been there since the early 90s. You guys sound like the Conservatives . . .'old is always better' I've heard Pavarotti on many 'pop' beats. So that argument doesn't hold water. Good music is most times accepted by people that have an ear for music . . . you guys need to step out of hiphop for sometime. Hiphop is a bubble . . . DBR: By your own logic, every rapper has perfect delivery. If you need someone to run out of breath to know he's not as good as M.I on Anoti/123 Hiphop. How then is Eminem's delivery critically adjudged one of the best in hiphop if the others are just different?? It's so easy how you guys quickly cower under the subjectivity canopy when factual things come up but discard it when you're talking about things like 'that's not hiphop enough'. I call that hypocrisy . . . do you have subjective view to that too?? And u think same cant be done for all others? brathaaa pleazzeeeeeeeeeee!! Now you missed my point AGAIN!!! Sumone brought up one M.I line and I said Modenine has more crappy lines than M.I. |
Re: I Just Might Buy Modenine's Album (davinci Mode) by DBR: 11:14am On Mar 05, 2010 |
Aiite, I'll rephrase it, the quality of M.I's voice separates him from other rappers in Nigeria.It' not bout sayin one beat is diff. from another arbitrarily eldee~~ u just prancin like a tired boxer witout an idea of how to deliver a blow to get/make a point. We aint talkin but Era influenced beat but Genre influenced beat. 2 diff. things. Sure a genre eveolves. Exept u sayin sounds/beats are all the same, no distinction, no hiphop beat, no bata or hiighlife or juju, or pop or clasical beats but u kno that wld be so dumb. And no! old aint always bera. at least not e'rtime. 've heard Pavarotti on many 'pop' beats. So that argument doesn't hold water.What arguement? By Sayin u'v heard Pavarotti on many "pop" beats says it all, and puttin d pop in quote wont save u Cos it means u heard him on a DIFFERENT kinda beat from wat u usually or normally hear him on. I neva said u wont catch him on pop beats, all im sayin is he too knows which is which, even if U r gettin it twisted. i think u shud focus on the phrase ONE OF THE BEST. Go to any review, especially Top 20 Rappers of all Times, and see how each rapper that made the list is given credit to their flow and delivery. Plus, if u dont know that breath control is vital to delievery then we shunt be havin this convo. U confessed that 123 wa too fast for u, now imagine if he kept gaspin or runnin outta breath. Plus, this aint bout me or u or mi or m9. wat it is is wat it is.And dont look at me funny i didnt influence it either. But, ever wondered at the choice of beats when Ye' was gon do the track Classic? I rest ma case! Now you missed my point AGAIN!!!I get your point e'rtime and u do make sense~~at least occasionally But of course u may lay hold of more M9 crappy lines, aint that sooooo xpected. Like the sayin goes, a kid may have more new clothes than an elder~ but he sure cant have more rags than the elder. Do the math . oNe |
