In a recent interview with @HipHopDx, Big Daddy Kane opens up about how Eminem surprised him and he talks of J. Coles rap skills.

 
Watch video.

It is important to note that, Eminem’s rap career started in an era when Hip Hop scene was dorminated by mainly blacks/coloured – hence he was prejudiced and was never really accepted when he started.

 

Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), known professionally as Eminem (/ˌɛmɪˈnɛm/; often stylized as EMINƎM), is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He is credited with popularizing hip hop in middle America and is critically acclaimed as one of the greatest rappers of all time – @Wikipedia

 

He rose to prominence with the release of ‘My Name is‘ off his second album The Slim Shady LP in  1999. Hence, this is to show that rap cut across all race and ethnicity.

 

Moving on from Em’, J. Cole’s rise to fame came like a thief in the night – he stole our hearts with us not willing to take it back. Cole is no doubt one of the most talented rappers of our time – he is more like the Pac of our time! 

 

Jermaine Lamarr Cole (born January 28, 1985) is an American
rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born on a military base
in Germany and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina – @Wikipedia.

 

Cole rose to prominence in the rap scene and captured the heart of many with the release of The Come Up, in early 2007.

 

This two great minds are no doubt a blessing to our generation and the hip hop community at large.

In the kaleidoscope of Nigeria’s vibrant music industry, where talent is abundant and innovation is celebrated, few stars shine as brightly as Mohbad. Emerging from the bustling streets of Lagos, this young artist captivated audiences with his infectious energy, raw lyricism, and unapologetic authenticity. In a world hungry for new voices and fresh perspectives, Mohbad emerged as a beacon of hope, a symbol of resilience, and a testament to the power of dreams.

Mohbad’s journey to stardom was a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Nigerian youth. Born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba in Lagos State, Mohbad’s early years were marked by struggle and adversity. Raised in a humble household, he faced numerous challenges on his path to success. Yet, through sheer determination and unwavering resolve, Mohbad refused to be held back by his circumstances. Instead, he turned to music as a means of self-expression and empowerment, using his talent as a vehicle for change and transformation.

At the heart of Mohbad’s appeal lay his unique ability to blend traditional Nigerian sounds with contemporary influences, creating a sound that was both timeless and cutting-edge. Drawing inspiration from his Yoruba heritage, Mohbad infused his music with rich cultural motifs and indigenous rhythms, creating a sonic tapestry that resonated with audiences across generations. From the infectious beats of “Koma Jensun” to the introspective lyricism of “Overhype,” Mohbad’s music transcended boundaries, bridging the gap between the past and the present, the old and the new.

But perhaps what set Mohbad apart from his peers was his unapologetic embrace of his roots and his unwavering commitment to his community.

Whether speaking out against police brutality or advocating for youth empowerment, Mohbad was not afraid to use his voice for good, proving that true greatness lay not in fame or fortune, but in the impact we had on others.

Tragically, on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, Nigeria lost one of its brightest stars. Mohbad’s sudden passing sent shockwaves throughout the music industry, leaving fans and colleagues alike grieving the loss of a true talent. Signed to Marlians Record, Mohbad had been on the cusp of even greater success, poised to become not just a Nigerian icon, but a global superstar. His untimely death left a void that could never be filled, a reminder of the fragility of life and the fleeting nature of fame.

In the end, Mohbad’s legacy is not just in the music he made, but in the lives he touched and the hearts he moved. His was a life cut short, but his impact will be felt for generations to come. As we bid farewell to a true Nigerian icon, let us remember Mohbad not for how he died, but for how he lived – with passion, with purpose, and with a dedication to his craft that will never be forgotten.
