MrCrackles:

Nigerian rappers have a long way to go!
Most of them are just a bunch of noisemaking, piss poor, excrutiatingly annoying and lyrically deficient prankstas!

khanye:

Easy now. But why dont you name some of them

We Still got some good ones out of them.

MrCrackles:

Khanye that is why i said most of them!

I hate to say this, but from what I've heard, most, if not all Nigerian rappers seem to fit the same mould. Rubbish, average at most lyricists with wannabe American sounding accents, and/or just bad grammar.

I'm yet to se a Nigerian rapper with thought-provoking lyrics with good structure and good uses of metaphors, like Canibus, Royce 5'9'', Cyssero and Joell Ortiz to name a few. Everyone seems to think they are 50 Cent out here, and its obvious that most of these rappers have never seen a local airport yet alone leftthe country. The only thing Nigerian hip-hop has to contest with say UK hip hop is production (alot of UK hip hop production is average too, but it has been stepping up alot recently).

Who is that rapper that dropped ''I'm rhyming like Makaveli, you're lyrics are smelly-smelly'' (or something like that) in one of his verses?
ARE YOU F****G SERIOUS?? Do people get excited over those nursery rhymes out here? Those bars are cringeworthy.

The other day I was in the car with my uncle and my cousin driving home and we heard some stupid rapper saying something like ''I'll break bottles like breakables' or something like that?

I hope I'm not on my own because if you people like those sort of lyrics or think they are soemwhat clever then we havea problem.

LOL

U are not on your own, dawg!!!!

Only few of em actually know what the art of rapping is all about.
On the top of ma head, i will say M.I. Ruggedman, Virus and Alabai have the potential to rip it.
When u hear mode9 talking about when "i diss a Baba, i am not talking about Ethiopia". . . .That bar is the most watery hogwash i have heard.
Then u have that moronic Banky W that sang Rihanna's song in the most pathetic and laziest attempt at stardom.
Do Nigeria have a censors board at all?? How in the name of Zeus did they let that song hit the airwaves??
Buncha classless beings.

MojiEsther:

"i diss a Baba, i am not talking about Ethiopa",  You can't decipher that? You can't even tell y and how it goes with the entire song?
I can tell you are not a rapper, a poet not to think a lyricist.

You can't feel Banky W's/Rihanna song, fine,  but you think its the most pathetic and laziest attempt at stardom.
Well, like tens of thousands of people dont think it is.

I think your critisicm is not constructive, its illogically destructive. I smell beef,

Saucekid is a bloooodddyyyyy american wannabee. He wasnt born there ooo my pipu. He got visa and went there and the mumu come back dey form accent. Imagine Album title sef na "AFRICAN AMERICAN" when the niggers themselves are trying to identify more wiv africa.

Did nigerians start rap or what? how are they supposed to do it better than those that do it abroad. .? unless or maybe they grew up there. No one can tell me a full proper nigerian, born and bred, will do rap better than someone who grew up abroad. . . . .the vocabs compared to what guy learn in naija is just different . . . . . . . .

lalaboi:

yea he's right. but he still doesnt know what he's talking about. he doesnt listen to naija rap. that was the 1st time he'll listen to it(in his uncles car ) and then he used that little piece he heard to judge the whole nigerian rappers. waaahhh? he didnt even bother making a research or sumn.

So, the little that do it and people feel them are trying. . . .they dont need to do at the same level as the kanyes, jayzs, nas's and so on.
its naija. . . .and rocking naija is enough. . . .if you feel they dont appeal to you, simply close ya earz whenever their songs are being played. . . . .

lalaboi:

I dont understand these people oh. The poster is talking bout lyrics and made reference to one of the trying nigerian rappers as rubbish. and errbody is saying yea yea he's right.

Instead of him to ask for the best out of the best in naija, he's busy badmouthing all of them.

I disagree with you. . . . .
Naija born n bred go to foreign universities and shit on white peops with outstanding grades in any course.
What has been born outside Nigeria gotta do with the art of poetry.
Nigeria did not start soccer, how come they were able to win under 17 competitions n stuffs??
Our people in Nigeria should upgrade their vocab, message content and make it enjoyable for Non-Nigerians.
The target audience should include all n sundry not Yoruba peops alone.

Einstein, he actually said 'The other day I was in the car with my uncle and my cousin driving home and we heard some stupid rapper saying something like ''I'll break bottles like breakables' or something like that?', meaning, 'the other day' not, 'this is the first and only naija track I have heard in my whole lifetime', the guy was just giving an example.
Even if aliens were the ones that started rap it does not mean that only THEY can be good at it, or at least DECENT.

lalaboi:

Tell me no nigerian rapper is doing rap decently

Please, who said that
