In a recent interview on radio in
Abuja, Rugged Man did not mince words. He said “Mode 9 is not the only
one that does the non-commercial kind of rap. Basically if you are an
entertainer you can’t do music for yourself that’s why you are an
entertainer.”
‘If people you are made to entertain are
not entertained, you should do one of two things…get another job or
adapt’ I’m not saying this to be funny or anything’. If something is not
working anymore the least you can do is try and adopt to what’s up’
‘Even in America at a point it was all
Eastside …then Westside, you can’t do anything about it, if you can’t
shape up, you shape out’
Modenine in a telephone interview with
Hip Hop world told us that he has no words for Rugged Man. According to
him, he’s not even sure Rugged Man uttered those words but as for him
he’s no dog and can’t go back to his vomit.
If we remember back in August 2008 when
Modenine dropped the critical Hip Hop signature ‘I’m Talking to You’ in
reference to Ruggedy Baba, Modo as he’s fondly called says he’s done
talking to Rugged Man and has said all he wants to say on the issue;
telling us its only dogs that go back to their vomit.
Speaking on the controversial top 10
gifted list, he says I really don’t care about that if I’m no10 or no9
for me it’s just about making great music; though we must add at this
juncture, that Modenine was no1 on the list. On coming projects he said
we should watch and see, telling us he has two collaborations coming up;
one with a hot south African rapper and the other with a New York
great.
Hip Hop world can authoritatively tell you that the New York feature is going to with Cannibus.
