An AssHole of course.

. Case Closed.

barofterror:
u sound wack like lil kesh and olamide

I was going to say something harsh, but I'd rather save my word for a more intelligent person. Take a walk, homie!

Deapexboy:
bros calm down..nobody is talking about sucesx here. Every music should b passing positive massage.. Most songs nw dont have meaning.

good music doesn't mean the lyrics must be good, we call them club bangerz

Ginaz:
Lil kesh is the most wacky musician I had the pleasure of listening to. He doesn't have the voice, zero voice sound, and dude always shout rap. Oh my God, Lil kesh needs to go and sell rat killer and quit music. The only thing that is saving him is the beats, if not he is the pure definition of WACK!

am sure he is not the only artist in d industry that dey give good beats.. yet he was in MTV base top 10 artist in 2015.

Top 10 Nigerian Rappers Who Should Quit Rapping And Go Into Trade.


Please note - This List Elucidate why Nigerian Hip Hop has been Putrid and Rebuffed To Vegetate.
 - Before reading down, This list is contrived On how intelligible their lyrics and word play are and can easily be Comprehend. And again, This is My list, And its Fabulized Base on My Opinion,so it doesn't matter if You concur with This Enumeration or not. 
Now let's get down to Business.
.
.
10. D Prince - one confused artist, Probably Got no ideal on what genre of music he's into, No doubt, there's nothing wrong engaging Your self as an artist in 2 or more genre of Music, You can be a rapper and same time a singer, But you not doing well in both Field is the Problem, Nigga Rap Lines are Plainly wack, same when he intermix with Mavins, Always spitting out Rabbish,  and still he'd still be Forming Omo oba, Claiming to be whiz bang when he's Nothing. No doubt, The Big headed Don jazzy Would still be a better rapper than Him( If he was) LOL.
.
9. Rugged Man - One Of the oldest in the Music industry, Been spitting out Trash Right From the days of Adam, Always Engaging in a Diss With artists he'd be able to Father, Fond of sleeping around with The wives of Different celebrities, at The end of the day, He'd stoll call hisself Ruggedy Baba, Egbon Try subscribe sense, You  Always factorising Pride Out of Your failures, Sit down, Use ur brain, The brain you use in convincing the wives of Other celebrities you had been sleeping with, Use that same Head to write some better Lyrics and stop spitting shits.
.
8. Lil Kesh - Surprise right? Remember we are talking about Hip Hop, No doubt, the young man is successful, has been doing well for himself ever since he joined YBNL, But still, That doesn't refinement the fact that he ain't suppose to be tag a rapper, Fucking hell Nigga always Voicing claptrap,Gratuitous, And indecourous lyrics, Still the slowpoke was causing wave along side the not so talented Noise maker Called olamide, about not winning the Next Rated, Mr Kesh, Go To the road, You're more of a ballyhoo than a rapper.
*  i now want yash her yash her
She say lick my pulet pulet i say kai abasha*
*See kitten, Kpekus Alhamdulilah, Jesu* ( But seriously what's all these Na? )
.
7. Viktoh - LOL, He's just a Joke, He shares the same qualities with Vic 0, starting From Their name(Victor) to their Style of rapping, Nigga ain't successful, always trying to facsimile the Voice of one cat in My area, And one other thing That makes me Like him, He's always happy when voicing out his rubbish, Nigga be jumping up and down like he is spitting out some Hot, dope lines not knowing he's making a big Fool out of hisself.I have no ideal of what language he raps with, I don't even care to know, The few english he's sayingthat I could comprehend  ain't making no sense, so it's of no use. Mr Viktoh, music ain't ur thing, Go to ibadan, Ask of mr oseni, a spiritualist, he'd help you in reading your palm and tell You Your aptitude instead of fooling Your self in the music industry.
.
6. Ozzybosco - I don't who this kid is, But I once stumbled upon some of his songs Some days ago, I was really bereaved , Assuredly, The kid is making his parents proud, certainly getting endorsement, Indisputably, No doubt, he's painting Nigerian Hip Hop in a black image, He's just the rap version Of Korede Bello, My dear, Go and read your books, everybody won't be CJ Dnippa Dallas.
.
5. ill Bliss - LOL, our so called Oga Boss, Looking ponderous, If only his brains are as big as his body, nigga would Probably have attach his name to The list of African Grammy winners. Right From when he erroneously Broke into Lime light, He has been delivering us with Childish lyrics, To me Korede is far brainly matured To this buffalo.
* Officer you can't arrest us, my name is not festus*
(Bros get sense now, Rhyme ain't no most in a rap game) if Rap doesn't favour You, Better go and start Bouncing Phyno, Which You are trying Hard to imitate, and again, lest I forget, stop claiming to be oga boss, I repeat Stop, Just stop pls, Your Physical appearance, You look a boss, But inwardly, Oga You're a dunce(Now see that Punchline. LOL).
.
4. Falz - Now here comes  a total ungrammatical soul that doesn't think before he raps.
.
3. Lynxx - Here comes a fine rich dude with no iota of sense, nigga should just say no to rap, and invest his money positively For the betterment of Nigeria, instead of wasting it.Lynxx is a curse to Hiphop.
He once said- * You Fit play monkey post with monkey? I don't know what this means but this Guy is just a slowpoke in a human Form.
Here he goes again- *My jollo6 music no be rice and stew*
This guy need to be flogged outta the music industry.
.
2. Sina Rambo - Tough name, Hearing his name, You gonna be thinking this dunder head is one Baddass rapper, But Unfortunately, Even Akanchawa rap more better than Him.  An epitome of wackness,My 12 year old kid sis have got more better rhymes than this Video Vixen.
The only Reason why this slowpoke has a record deal is because he's related to the Minimally talented Davido, I fear for the worst in that family, starting From Davido to sina rambo to B Red, all are wackos.
.
1. Vic 0 - Self acclaimed King of rap, when he's yet to accomplish king of his compound, always Bragging out of his failures, still wondering who is the father of such dunce, Why not Use this Block head for ritual.
Just slandering nigerian Hip Hop worldwide.
.
.
.
 Pls note, this list wasn't made to dilapidate anybody but to point out the hidden truths, Lot of time and allegiance was put into To compile and come up with this list.
..As a matter of fact all of these artistes are
successful in one way or other which is a good
thing, but as far as hip hop is concerned they
are not rappers just bunch of entertainers.
I hereby plead with all Nigerian
rappers to please buckle up and let the people have
a real feel of hip hop and to those talented ones
claiming underground, if you really love hip hop
you’ll come out of the ground and make the
people feel you and stop making unnecessary noise.

OP when u pointing out your point you don't have to be rude... at least people know them...I don't know u...go get a life bro

Illbliss doesn't deserve to be on this yeah Maybe Falz he is a comedian to me.

The op don't even know anything about rap. He mentioned some that are not even a rapper. Now some people are here writing trash. Imagine hime saying olamide not so talented, then who is talented if not him.

Op if you know you really know about rap. Tell me about BOOGEY and KHALI ABDU

Just ur opinion? Good, you're entitle to it anyway. Who cares! Who your opinion don epp?

Mosb:
Just listen to yourself..... I can bet you danced shoki everywhere! What does that make you??

lolz i b jadakiss, know time to play our wack song

ExplicitContent:

Good one. I think the OP is referring to core hipHOp. Some ppl dat don't even know the different genre of music are arguing . To make ttings worse because they see their favorite artist on the list they want to defend their interest. Do you eeven know what Rap meanss! If you's a lover of good music you'll be very selective of the kind of sounds you listen to. Be it rap or pop or whatever genre. And then u 'll be conscious of listening to the lyrics of the songs our Nigerian artists feed us with. Most are just Meaningly,trash , gibberish exception to just a few.

I believe that's why we have A list, B list, c list categories of artistes everyone can't be A list even in the American music industry. I believe the OP was too harsh.

You know the best players are usually the spectators, they score the most goals with their mouth.
If you understand the workings of the music industry you'll appreciate everyone who even tries to drop a single.

Bad belle is allowed.

eedrees:

Op if you know you really know about rap. Tell me about BOOGEY and KHALI ABDU

Who is talented if not him: reminisce

I'm not Yourba, but that guy blows my mind

EverestNwatu, sorry to say this but u are mad. Really madden. Is there no better to drop ur useless opinion without insulting any of them? Those that can actually feed u & ur generation. Grow up fool!

EverestNwatu:

Falz don't rap, He voice out Gibberish

Your rap IQ is very low.

Falz speaks English better than you, judging from your error ridden OP. You're not even smart enough to distinguish entertainment from real life.

EverestNwatu:
Pls what do you know about hip hop? To you even small doctor is talented.

yes he is!

UIA04:

Who is talented if not him: reminisce

I'm not Yourba, but that guy blows my mind

Reminisce raps better than olamide but not as talented as olamide.
