Re: M.i by Princek12(m): 11:20am On Mar 22, 2009 |
Just another wannabe, at least to me. This M.I. guy is just alright to me. He comes off as a local who is desperately trying to sound and connect with the American conscious, neosoul, and poetic style of rap, which he knows nothing about--this guy is one aboki from Jos. After meticulously listening to several of his tracks, including colonial mentality, I cannot see how his songs tally up with his upbringing, and to the Nigerian culture in general. If I want to listen to Mos Def or some conscious rap, I know where to go; but if I am listening to my Nigerian artists, I do not expect (or want) to hear some artist whose style is not unique (and i think M.I.'s style is not unique) and bears semblance to American or European style of music, or I do not want to hear a Nigerian rapper whose style is built on a foundation in which he has not experienced--this Jos' product (M.I.) has not experienced (besides watching MTV) the foundation in which his style his built upon. Do I think he is a good rapper? Yes. Do I respect him? No. Because M.I. has not created his own style nor have an identity (he seems like M.I. has "idolized" a little too much the American conscious rap style), he has not won my respect; and I am just one of those people who refuses to always follow the majority and refuses to be blighted by the style of some wanna be Talib Kweli, and ignore the substantive aspect of Nigerian Hip-Hop. While I am a hip-hop loyalist, Nigerian & American, this aboki, in my own view, lacks that quality which is necessary for longevity in the music business, especially in the Nigerian hip-hop industry. Artists like Timaya &Tony Tetuila, to mention a few, have won my respect and admiration for their distinctive styles while creating music that is a direct reflection of their background and culture. |
Re: M.i by Skywalker5(m): 11:22am On Mar 22, 2009 |
You expect him to be speaking pidgin English abi like the rest? |
Re: M.i by debosky(m): 11:24am On Mar 22, 2009 |
Well spoken prince, well spoken!! He sounds like an American wannabe and he's from Jos? At least we can hear Tetuila's Kwara accent and Two Shots spices up his English rapping with Igbo and pidgin, very unique and contextual styling, not someone who wants to be an American. Thought we had gone beyond that stage in naija hip hop, but apparently not. |
Re: M.i by Princek12(m): 11:42am On Mar 22, 2009 |
Sky Walker I don't expect him to be speaking pidgin English, but I expect him to speak with his accent; or create a song that does not sound like these American peeps. Although he went to college in Yankee and I have seen him before, he knew he could not make it here. Nigerian rappers did not begin to have main stream success until they started rapping with their accents, and you know it. |
Re: M.i by Princek12(m): 11:47am On Mar 22, 2009 |
Debosky I thought we had gone past that in Nigerian hip hop too. Our success thus far was built on being proud of out native tongue and once we start getting comfortable and deviating from the same recipe that gave you success failure looms. I am a proud Nigerian and I will NEVER EVER admire any Nigerian rapper that wants to sound like an American rapper. That's just me. Whoever no like am fit go drink peppersoup. |
Re: M.i by Skywalker5(m): 12:20pm On Mar 22, 2009 |
i feel we should just accept good music.Thats all.regardless of which accent any1 uses. This guy made a very good album cuz he is the second nigerian artist(2face first) that i would enjoy his whole album.I mean everything.I hardly buy Nigerian artist album cuz i might like mayb 1 or 2 of his songs but this guy look @ the entertainment industry and filled up what was missing and he delivered well. Fine, he speaks with an accent.I have not met him before.I have only seen him on TV and from what i have seen.Thats how he speaks(except he fakes it well). Besides Mod 9 too sound like a foreign artist. he puts in some of our languages but he sounds foreign too. Ruggedman is cool.he speaks the pidgin and flows well too.i respect him but i cant turn my back on good music when i hear 1 which is MI right now. A lot of artist found foreign,Nateo c (u know my p).I love that song.first time i heard it,i tot it was like a dipset crew that did that.Ikechucke had a very good freestyle on harlem baby. You guys not talking about that but all this guys are very good artist and respecting in 9ja for thier good works. I feel we should just be happy we have guys doing good works there.Just my point though |
Re: M.i by debosky(m): 12:48pm On Mar 22, 2009 |
The most successful artistes get their success from being original and uniquely Nigerian - 2face, Dbanj and the likes, not from some phoney American wannabe accent. Good music, yes, but without that crucial local/indigenous flavour, then it doesn't quite cut it for me. Even a bunch of guys like Psquare, they were never really very popular till they started putting more of their own creativity into their songs and less of usher wannabe antics. |
Re: M.i by Skywalker5(m): 1:09pm On Mar 22, 2009 |
But MI is successful a and he did it without using local flavour (like you said) that made most artist popular. He should be respected for that I dont think its compulsory to put local flavour into your music.He might not be the type of guy who flows well in it. At least he is doing well in his present style now which is the major thing and a lot of people are loving him. |
