Music Review: Who Rules RAP

Rhythm And Poetry are the words that represent the acronym which stand for RAP and this is the topic in contention... who is a better rapper? For a long time we have pondered on this same issue and still have not been able to come to a concrete conclusion, as the debate started with only two lyricists in view it expanded with the coming of new rappers and/or rappers that re-discovered them selves...
So now from my point of view the battle rages between four main rappers in the cycle of thing within the Hip Hop sector... Each with a different swagger, style and target.... I would start with a quick run-down of the four in my list based on the opinion poll so far......
MI the concrete lyricist that has stolen the heart of fans within all age groups and still know how to turn on the ladies....
Rugged Man the strictly Naija rapper that believes that being down to earth gets the message across better and still gives him an appeal that helps him sell records...
Freestyle the boy that finds it easy getting his swagger on in front of any crowd, has proven that he can perform with any artist and he is the boy that most of his fans have watched as he has grown in his profession to be the man he is today......
and last but definitely not least Mode9 the self acclaimed champion of the rap game who believes that "hip hop is hip hop" and not some commercial thing that should be compromised just so you could sell a couple of albums, big boy with a strong presence and a good command of the rap vocabulary....

There you have it, all four rappers in their own rights champions, but all stand on different stages in the same rap game.

So as the saying goes the ball is in your court let me know what you decide so i can in my own opinion crown the king of rap base on your polls...

Thanks for reading

  1. Freestyle is a good, like you said they all have their own styles. But if there's a battle between the 4 of them, I'd definitely say M.I. is the winner, right now he appears to be the BEST lyricist and the most entertaining Naija rap star. To me I'll say he's more of a Kanye West protege...his style and his flows. M.I. his better. Modey, well...he revived HIP HOP in Naija, so that his credited to his name.

  2. M.I. I'd say is the winner because he's a hip-hop-ster and an entertainer (more like Kanye West because of his style and sense of flows).M-9, I'll give him the credit for reviving Hip Hop in Naija...and he still remains the best lyricist we have in Naija.

    Just thot of this now, on a Stand-up MIC Battle who will win? Bcos it's a different battle making hits and albums...
