9ice is still a legend

 Grammy or No Grammy, 9ice is a LEGEND. 


He performed at international events during his prime. Check the second picture attached for one example. He's a globally recognized star.


He brought home the grammys in the form of adequate contribution to the foundation of Nigerian Stars that received Grammys today.


9ice went mainstream in the era when social media was still in thoughts, the era when before you're known, you have to promote your music via marketers at Alaba Lagos etc, run DJ Mixtapes to get the songs to the street. I heard his music mostly at carnivals near our house then. He is a multi-award winner!!! 


9ice is a LEGEND - his songs are filled with influential elements, which the younger generation has greatly sampled. He spoke into the future that he's bringing home the grammys (I interpreted it as NIGERIAN STARS will bring it home someday).


It's a total disrespect to his person , to see people talk down on his failure to bring home the grammys. His influence in the game is worth more than the Grammys. I'm glad every younger star respects him till tomorrow.


9ice Alapomeji na baba for African music.

 'Diddy Oil':50 Cent trolls Diddy with fake baby oil product Rapper, 50 Cent is once again throwing shade at rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs after his arrest and the recent revelations about his "Freak Off" parties. 50 Cent has clarified that he never attended a Diddy party, claiming they only shared a professional relationship and were never friends. After Diddy's arrest last Monday, his indictment was unsealed the next day, revealing that authorities discovered 1,000 bottles of baby oil at his residence during a raid in March of this year. The oils were allegedly part of the sexual items Diddy used to organize his "Freak Offs," which have been described as drug-induced orgies that he directed and produced, involving both female victims and male prostitutes.

Against the odds 2pac

 "Against All Odds" is a song by 2Pac (under the name Makaveli), released as the 12th and final track from his album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (1996). It samples Cameo's "Skin I'm In". A prominent track that revealed the West-East coast rivalry at the time, 2Pac takes shots at several people, including Dr. Dre, Mobb Deep, Puff Daddy, Jimmy Henchman, Stretch, and Nas. Producer Hurt-M-Badd recalled that 2Pac asked for "a war song," and an hour later upon hearing the beat, requested the bassline from Cameo's "Skin I'm In". 2Pac brought the Outlawz in to the studio and created the hook. Hurt-M-Badd added, "While 'Pac was doing his vocals he wasn't just recording his vocals, he was also kicking over the music stand, hitting the microphone. There was a vibe in the room. We all knew what was goin' on." Nas told XXL, "2Pac just came at me only one time, on a song called 'Against All Odds.' I...
