Rhymez Bobo Writes Open Letter to M.I Abaga on “You Rappers Should Fix Up your Lives”

M.I has been the talk of the Internet since the release of his latest track, “You Rappers Should Fix Up Your Life” and he has gotten couple of replies from other rappers.

Firstly Blaqbonez replied him and other rappers have also replied him vocally in the studio booth.

Rhymez Bobo has taken his time to write a letter to M.I.

Read his Open letter below:-

With all due respect sir, I’d like to acknowledge and appreciate your relentless effort in promoting Nigerian Music. I can vividly recall how Hip-Hop started in Nigeria; how Mode 9, Terry Tha Rapman, Eedris Abdulakareem, Ruggedman, 6 Foot Plus, Overdose and a few others suffered and made sacrifices just for Hip-hop to be well accepted in Nigeria.

They went through a lot just to make Hip-hop flourish. Whilst some of them retired in the long run, others like Terry Tha Rapman, Mode Nine and Ruggedman are still keeping it real today, despite the fact that their efforts are not really appreciated.

Your presence into the Nigerian Hip-hop scene ushered in a new dawn to the Hip-hop culture, as people started accepting and supporting this genre of music.

You branded Hip-hop, and you proclaimed yourself “African Rapper Number One”, a title many people would agree that you deserve.

Your albums and projects, Talk About It, iLLegal Music and M.I: The Movie were great projects. But ever since you went on a hiatus about four years ago, things changed.

You came back and started Afro-pop; your last album “The Chairman” is more of Afro-pop than Hip-hop. Your style of music changed. You didn’t rap on The Chairman album, you just kept blabbing.

Your lyrics was not good enough on that album; you actually sounded like an upcoming artiste on that project.

WHAT DID YOU DO REGARDING MILLI, ICE PRINCE & JESSE JAGZ CAREER?

You said all Nigerian rappers should fix up their lives cos they’ve been sleeping and you claimed they’ve switched from rapping to singing, but need I remind you that Milli was an artiste under your label, Chocolate City.

He is a very good rapper who had to leave Chocolate City because you wanted him to switch from rapping to singing, which he did not agree.

Ice Prince was a good rapper under your tutelage but what happened before he left Chocolate City? He switched from Hip-hop to Afro-pop. And what did you do about it? Nothing!

Jesse Jagz is the greatest rapper of all time but what does he do now? He became Jag of all trade but master of none. Today he would be doing Reggae, tomorrow Afro, next tomorrow Party jamz or dancehall. He became confused and what did you do about it? Nothing!

Please sir, Mr You Rappers Should Fix Up Your Lives, before you advised other rappers to fix up their lives, you should advise those in your immediate circle to fix up theirs first.

You kept making emphasis that South African rappers are killing Nigerian rappers. Yes, that’s quite true. But the reason why rap is dying in Nigeria is because Nigerians don’t accept Hip-hop like our counterparts in South Africa.

Every rapper has bills to pay, but how can they pay their bills when they don’t get invited to shows and no endorsements to brag off?

WIZKID & DAVIDO

You started your music career before Wizkid andDavido, but why are they ahead of you now? It’s because you are a rapper and they’re singers.

Also, here are some few questios I have for you:-

1. Why is Olamide well accepted in Nigeria?

2. Why is Lil Kesh richer than most of the pioneers of Hip-hop in Nigeria?

It’s because they don’t do real Hip-hop, they do Afro-pop. Most of the artistes that do real Hip-hop in Nigeria have only little or nothing to show off. They are not appreciated.

More so, Hip-hop is flourishing in S.A cos the Super Stars in S.A always support their upcoming rappers. For example, before Nasty C made it big, Casper Nyovest helped him.

Even in Ghana, Sarkodie helped DeeMoney. But how many talented rappers have you brought up from the gutter? Come to Kaduna, Jos and Abuja, you’ll see many rappers that can compete with you any day, anywhere, anytime. You don’t sign new rappers; your last two signees in Chocolate City were singers.

Those pioneers of Hip-hop in Nigeria are still the ones keeping it real today. Terry Tha Rapman supports upcoming rappers to the core, that’s why I so much love and respect him. He features upcoming rappers on his projects in order to showcase them.

Even though you actually tried doing that on iLLegal Music, and I applaud you for that. But you later stopped. Your ILLegal Music project brought rappers like Phenom and Yung 6ix to the limelight, but when you stopped that other upcoming rappers were deranged.

Conclusively, I like the fact that you sent a wake-up call to all Nigerian rappers, and I also like your determination to bring real Hip-hop back in Nigeria. But before you accused Nigerian rappers of sleeping, you should tap and pinch yourself to know if you’re actually awake or also sleeping.

The change begins with you; you want real Hip-hop? Then you should do real Hip-hop and also support real Hip-hop.

Let the fans be encouraged to listen and patronize Hip-hop. And let the media support Hip-hop as well cos we can’t win this battle and we can’t bring back Hip-hop in Nigeria without the help of the media.

Thanks.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Manchester United vs Benfica 2-0 [UCL 2017]

FULL-TIME – MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 BENFICA – It was not Manchester United’s best performance, but they got the job done with two goals either side of half time. They won a penalty early on in the contest through Anthony Martial, who stepped up to take it, but the Frenchman saw his effort saved by Mile Svilar in Benfica’s goal.
The goalkeepers luck ran out towards the end of the opening 45 minutes, however, as a long-range strike from Nemanja Matic hit the post and rebounded off his back to gift the home side the lead. Benfica had a brilliant opportunity to equalise after a poor pass from Eric Bailly in the second half, but Raul Jimenez saw his effort cannon off the post. Shortly afterwards, Marcus Rashford was brought on and instantly won another penalty for his side which Daley Blind stepped up to take.
The Dutch international calmly slotted his strike into the back of the net, to secure all three points for Jose Mourinho’s side.

6 Reasons Why Parents Should Expose Children To Technology Early

There is a need In this current digital age for children to be exposed to the usage of technological devices for the purpose of learning and others.

New and emerging technologies have always been associated with the younger generations. Older people tend to be set in their ways, leaving tech-savvy millennials in the forefront of discovering and embracing new devices as they arrive on the scene. Younger people learn more quickly, and that goes for technology in the same way it goes for everything else.

According to the research and development unit of Yudala, the decision on when a child can be allowed access to technological gadgets such as laptops, tablets and smartphones is to be made by parents during their children’s formative years.

It said recent studies showed that active or interactive technology and screen time can actually help to develop and improve your kid’s learning, when used appropriately, and highlighted a number of ways children can benefit from early exposure to modern technology.

(1). More visually attentive kids

Exposure to games and other relevant applications on tech devices can help raise a generation of more visually attentive kids. This is because a significant amount of attention to detail is required on the part of kids when exposed to visually stimulating contents on tablets and other entry-level gadgets. There are many devices that can help build the requisite attention to detail and capacity for visual attention in children.

(2). Improve language skills

The benefits of technology for kids, especially at an early age are numerous. One of such areas is in developing their language skills. There are many of applications and games to help boost their vocabulary and teach them to look for word meanings when they come across an unfamiliar word.

(3). Build discipline and self-motivation

Exposing your child to technology from an early age is a sure way of building discipline and self-motivation, two qualities that are ultimately crucial to your child’s future development. A lot of games and activities on tech devices often require the user to complete a task in order to progress to another level. Completing the entire course requires a huge dose of mental discipline and personal resolve. As a result, exposure to these learning apps inadvertently challenges a child and pushes him/her to strive to go the extra lengths in order to enjoy the thrill and satisfaction that come from achievement. Your child, therefore, develops a disciplined mindset that sees challenges as surmountable as long as he/she keeps trying to overcome them. This is effortlessly transferred to real-life situations.

(4). Emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence is a buzzword that is becoming increasingly relevant in the contemporary work-place. Most organisations today prioritise the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. This quality can be developed in your child right from an early age through exposure to technology. There are numerous emotional intelligence apps pre-loaded on tablets which teach kids what emotions are, how they work, and how to use them and manage them for social interaction and learning. Among other things, these applications teach a child how to recognise other people’s emotions, to discriminate among the different feelings, and to label them appropriately. Armed with this insight, your child can learn from an early age how to refrain from emotional outbursts and undisciplined loss of self-control, thus leading to a well-rounded personality.

(5). Develop Maths skills

Research shows that younger children are more interested in the short-term goals of games, which are essential in problem solving. Logic games, obstacle courses and other applications on tech devices go a long way to build your child’s basic mathematic skills by imbuing them with the capacity for quantitative reasoning. For parents, this is very important as the phobia or apathy often expressed by most people for Mathematics is a result of wrong or late exposure to its usefulness in the analysis and interpretation of real-world quantitative information.

(6). Develop new talents

Technology can help unearth hitherto-hidden skills and talents in your child. From being exposed to certain musical instruments or skills such as painting on the screen of a tablet, for instance, your child can develop a keen interest, which may see him/her becoming proficient at these activities. With the aid of technology, which bridges the gap, you may not even have to pay the hefty fees of enrolling your child in a physical music or painting class to learn. There are loads of apps that your child can take advantage of to learn and become the next Mozart or Leonardo da Vinci. Early exposure to technology has the potential to unlock amazing new interests in your child which, coupled with the natural curiosity in kids, can transform your child into a whiz-kid.

A note of caution: It is important to mention that parental supervision is key. A child should not be given a tablet without supervision. Handing over a tech device to your child requires a great level of responsibility. So, as a parent, be sure to trust your instinct. However, the fact is allowing children have access to tech devices can benefit them in many ways. As a parent, you may be nervous at first, but there are some real, tangible benefits to be derived from exposing your child to tech devices such as tablets. Most experts recommend not more than a half hour of screen time per sitting for a child. This is bearing in mind that tablets may be addictive for children because it allows quick, instant access to everything in the real world. As long as parents do their best to monitor, protect, and prepare their children, and usage doesn’t get out of hand, technology exposure can provide great opportunities for children to grow and develop.

Photos From Royal Albert Hall Where Wizkid Made First African History

Recently, Starboy, Wizkid made headlines, after it was reported that he made history, having becoming the first African Artiste to fill up the famous Royal Albert Hall in London.

Incase you missed it; Wizkid Emerged First Nigeria Artiste To Shutdown London Thrice In Just 3 Months. Few days, ago the Ojuelegba singer headlined a solo concert at the hall which contains a little over 5,000 seats, where he performed some of his hits songs, including Ojuelegba (which earned him the admiration of rapper Drake) and Jaiye Jaiye.

The successful outing has stirred major conversation about Wizzy’s accomplishments and many fans are already hopeful that he would bring home a Grammy award.

This heartwarming update comes just days after American rapper, Joe Budden accused many American artistes of copying the Wizkid’s sounds and refusing to promote him by at least buying his latest album Sounds From the Other Side.

“Wizkid’s album came out. We’ve never talked about it, and it’s amazing. I don’t think that it is fair that all you N!ggas can steal Wizkid’s Carribean-F.ucking steal and flow and songwriting and not buy the F.ucking album,” said Budden,

Well, this allegation may be true, but one thing is certain; Wizkid is fast becoming a legend and his success is not tied solely to his popularity in the American music scene.

Below are other photos of Wizkid performing and photos of the Royal Albert Hall in London:
