Rugged Man was
speaking on Hot FM’s breakfast radio show and 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’ am 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’
‘I actually started writing ‘ehen’
song in English but paul play advised me ‘you are in Nigeria, make music
for Nigerians, add the local language so people could understand, I put
a little comedy to it by bringing in Normoloss,
‘It’s not about
how good you are but how smart you are. I have said it ‘i don’t want to
be ‘he can rap kinda artist’ but ‘to be a successful artist’. ‘Switching
your style doesn’t make you any less of a human cos at the end of the
day ‘what you have achieved is what would be asked.
Mode
9 had recently lamented the neglect of his type of non commercial rap
saying that He dropped an album ‘alphabetical order’ earlier this year
and no one cared.
