At the moment, Nigerian rappers, Olamide, Vector, MI Abaga, Ycee, Mode 9 and others are all trending topics on social media.MI Abaga is partly trending because of his newly released mixtape ‘Illegal Music 3’, while others came in courtesy of a Twitter poll by ID Africa, a digital marketing agency that asked the question, ‘Who is the best Nigerian #Rap artiste – Olamide, MI, Mode 9, Jesse Jagz?’.
Below is how Nigerians on social media reacted to the question
I know money is everything in this country and generation. But if you compare Mode 9 and Olamide in whatever context,you are mad.— Seun Olukoya (@arsenalfateful) March 1, 2016

I asked my kid brother between MI & Olamide who is better. He replied MI is CHAIRMAN. For me I will say MI is English,Olamide is Indigenous.— Linus (@linusNoni) March 1, 2016
When Olamide drops an album. He’s better than M.I and when M.I drops an album. He is better than olamide. We fanz self

How are you going to argue against Olamide for instance? What will you say is your metric? What empirical evidence will you use?— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) March 1, 2016
Rap is about Rhythm and Poetry. Olamide has rhythm. Poetry isn’t really something he focuses on. M.I Mode9 Vector do well in both.

People say Olamide is not a rapper and I’m like your fave Nigerian rapper doesn’t have a rap song as hard as Voice Of The Street.— Mayowa George (@Wana____) March 1, 2016
Olamide is GOOD!!! No doubt bout that.
Comparing him to MI Abaga…. (In Orubebe’s voice) Noooooooo!!!! we won’t take that.

ice prince’s oleku,jagz god on d mic,MI’s action film,Phyno’s man of d year and Baddo’s Voice of the street are naija’s greatest rap songs.— Mr adeayo (@mr_aystyles) March 1, 2016
When it comes to music…. whether rap or nah…. I’ll still pick Jesse jagz over olamide

Iwó ja— Olamide Adedeji (@olamide_YBNL) March 1, 2016RT @El_swaGz: Olamide is a rapper. He just does other genres too. You won’t say Drake ain’t a rapper cos he sings a lot.
Ion even know bruh

M.I , vector, jesse jagz define rap music in naija……..the rest just pour dust constantly— #RASHFORDian (@glynx7) March 1, 2016
While you people are arguing over MI or Jesse Jagz who’s greater, I’m just envying their mother’s womb. She made legends.. #Facts

Talk of lyricists, On my list, it’s MI, Mode9, Vector, Phenom, Phyno.— Phantom (@femoPhantom) March 1, 2016
We should just leave Olamide as indigenous rapper .. He has admitted he is a local rapper leave MI, Vector ,Modo, Jesse as “Oyinbo Rappers”

Putting Ycee on your top 10 list ahead of mode9,vector,boogey,MI shows you don’t know anything about rap music— Fanta Boi (@davidoghe) March 1, 2016
Still Thank God for the likes of Modenine, MI, Vector, Boogey and Jesse Jagz. If not for these guys rap music wud have been completely dead

People that believe Ice Prince is a better rapper than Vector are part of the major problems we have in this generation— #TweeterRadio (@ThePunAddict) March 1, 2016
Most criticize Vector for weak or forced punchlines meanwhile on Chairman album MI had some very weak lines but if u talk u r a ‘hater’
— Uncle Jargo (@ifeanyi_oka4) March 1, 2016
I stopped being a fan since voice of the street! Olamide stopped rapping ever since then.— Kamso (@Jamie_Kamss97) March 1, 2016
Lol. MI is not even the best rapper in Nigeria ,we have lots of people that will body him hands down; Boogey ,Vector , Khali abdul, Loose K.

MI is the real chairman of Nigeria and Africa rap, followed by Vector and Jesse Jagz.— George Atah (@abillidollz) March 1, 2016
But you would think it’s obvious Jesse Jagz is better lyrically than most Nigerian rappers.. If not all! Except Kyrian Asher ofcourse
— #LVGOUT !! (@OMGits_Supetra) March 1, 2016
That’s how someone got talking bout Olamide’s 2012 YBNL album.Am sure he didn’t listen to ‘Talk Bout it’ and ‘MI 2’.
— Véèktöh (@Elnas007) March 1, 2016
Who has a rap album or mixtape that can touch Talk About It or Illegal Music 1? Probably Eldee, Mode 9 and Jagz. That ends the argument
— Ogbeni Cash (@IamPattern) March 1, 2016
Bcus of that factory 78 freestyle you think YCEE is the best? Smh. Even underground rappers like Syko, Boogey, PayBack are better lyricists— Phantom (@femoPhantom) March 1, 2016
