Doc: if you don't take this pill every 2 hours, you will die

Babe: I'm dyinggg
Me: have you taken your medicine?
Babe: I don't want to, it's bitter 😭
Sampling someone's music is equivalent to taking a rib and creating a whole human from it. You people dragging Burna Boy for being a "sample man" will never know creativity on that level. I'm embarrassed for y'all
I've seen about 4 posts like this today and I've been commending my mental strength for being able to handle sinister information.
This is where I fold.
Actually it’s about Jesus Christ teaching me how to walk on water, to trust Him and not in human understanding.
He changed my life. And if you seek Him He will fill you up too.
He is the Lord of Lords.
The word of God, made flesh
I am His sheep. He is my Shepherd.
And I have
The Abuja rap scene is miles ahead of Lagos because they're all connected, everyone is a moving part, it promotes growth
Lagos is too cutthroat, noone is connecting, at least not for the sake of rap
Lagos rap is about individual acts
Abuja rap is about collective work.
Love no dey Lagos fr. Everybody just dey hustle, dey think of their selfish interests
"My bro, my bro", but nobody really be your bro.
You can deny it from now till tomorrow, but the truth is the truth.
"I'm a little low on funds"
"More like I rizzed her"
"A kept hoe should keep quiet"
"Dont wear your natural airrr"
"As God would have it, my boyfriend started annoying me"
"Divorce glow"
"He refused to step up"
This year was long bro 😔

You'd be trying to link some G's in the industry for movements and they'd air you consistently, because nothing for them. They don't need you on your best day.
Now the man's dead and everyone was "about to" work with him, "about to" reply him, "about to" check on him.
Aiit.
Why is tech our dumping ground?
We need more master mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, builders, tilers, electricians, Heavy duty truck drivers than Devs as we speak.
We need people who have those skills to a global standard.
But as always, mediocre problem solving na our way.
If it's hard, it's hard.
When wizkid blew up, the earpiece I was using was
#200
. Most of us were thugging on Xpress music that year, we no know sonic, we no know strategy, we just know say jam na jam.
Just make sure you're music isn't actually lacking.
Idk how I’ll sound but don’t use baets and 1k earpiece to hear my music please. You’re killing the experience. So much strategically placed sonics will be cut out from the listening experience. Then you’ll say he’s not good dfkm
Sam will win, mxna will win, tomi will win, trippy will win, donta will win, yd will win, EOB will win, kaylu will win, sknny will win, rebel will win, xandre? Come on dawgg
Add your name if I missed you abeg. Talent boku
Odumodu takes the bars we wrap in articulate rhymes and metaphors; and he just pours them out raw, with all the grit and contour.

He does seem to condescend a little bit here, he's not giving her any credit whatsoever. Slang/pidgin isn't limited to the 'lower class'
She clearly holds his opinion in high regard, but she wants to bant as well.
Overall it's a learning moment, and a respectful dynamic

@JoeyAkan
Bro do you get?? His afrobeats knowledge is impeccable but he has been capping on hip hop and I'm not convinced he knows what he's saying
I feel like undue credit is given to "indigenous" rappers just for the sake of it
And I feel it's "undue" because it ignores the rapping itself, and focuses solely on the language.
There's a line between rapping in yoruba/igbo, and mere translating.
Music changes and evolves but the idea of altering hip hop just to suit more people who weren't even feeling it in the first place is rubbish.
Hip hop should be HARD, not fucking sweet.
The most hilarious trend I've noticed lately is "executives" finding a way to convince artists that making music is somehow not the actual "work"
These days it seems like every conversation is steered towards taking power away from the artist.
We shall see.
Kaylu is coming btw, in case you boys were thinking it's safe to go outside, IT IS NOT.
I personally am looking forward to "Darth Vader" . It sounds violent. Follow
@KayluMusic
More power to blaq.
Nigerians will be deaf, blind, dumb and demented about the quality of your work, till you work with someone they perceive as "exotic", not because they respect said exotic influences, but because they genuinely believe we by ourselves aren't worth an ear.
Niggas like mojo are way too hard to only blow up as "yoruba rappers", when they're actually spitting spitting.
Cultural relevance should always be saluted of course, but don't box rappers in. They will transcend in time, just watch.
I'm seeing a lot of people responding to this so positively, people are FIGHTING for life and this guy basically gave them strength with this post.
Then one weenie L'son comes under his tweet on some "you gonna smoke again"
Why?? Do your parents not pray for you??
43 days clean.
Haven't smoked Weed or Colos for the past 43 days.
Made that decision on August 25th and God has helped me stay true to it.
Just felt like telling you guys.
A lot of people on Twitter are fully developed; humongous breasts, connected beards, expressway hips, Grand Canyon voice, but mentally they haven't left high school.
It's a damn shame.
If you’re one of those people that hate on others because someone else told you to and you don’t really know why you hate them, no matter how old you are, I’m here to tell you that you’re a fool
For a long time I was making beats on a laptop that couldn't stay on if it wasn't plugged
Because of that I had to be saving every single change I made in case power went out
Now whenever I'm on fl studio I go wan use ctrl+S wound am loool
Lmao
Upcoming artists like to move like blown artist but can't sustain.
All money buys is work, so if there's no money there's definitely a work-around
Your lack of money is a plus because your investment is minimal yet your potential return will pay off--in the end
Bro I was just analysing the amount of people upcoming artist have to pay for just a single release 😭, producer, engineer, graphics designer, photographer, videographer, hair and cloth stylist, distros, playlisters, influencers, blogs, writers, radio, Dj, friends and family 😂

“RAP BATTLE*
*Backstage Davido show*
If I lose I give Droxx $500. (If he raps on beat xtra $50)💰
If I win Droxx owes me nothing ($0) but will have to forfeit his rap career and focus on being a Solicitor 👨🏽⚖️
Hip Hop Community, TL….. say AMEN
@jon_d_doe
The dark guy is deliberately being intrusive, anyone who gets touched in such a forward manner is bound to be jolted; why is a blind man so precise with his reach?
the white dude is light in his touch, giving enough time and space to consider helping
