rappers especially in Nigeria I don't think there too many record labels that willing to take that risk to sign a rapper I think that's why we have few rap stars but I think we should take more risks like how storm did way back Chocolate City you know sign rappers you can just it's just how you sell the brand bro these record labels are literally looking for like how much streams you're even getting out before they even talk about signing you like you posting your song on Tik Tok you can imagine that I used to be just that art person like I felt my skills would sell when I came to Legos if you see how my eye clear they like bro it's not like that I thought I would go to a couple of rap battles and then that's it I'll become the champion no you know reality hit me in the head and I was like okay you got to know how to make records that will rival a sh they don't care whether you're a rapper as rappers perception is everything you know just cuz your environment is like maybe the trenches you have to dress like you're trying to leave the trenches rap is not always about that dog do ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome back to the podcast I'm your host with the most

chicken and orange juice is the rapper the rapper the rapper himself Terry the rap man my bad Terry the rap man bro what's good my guy what's good my guy I'm all right who is your your inspiration though in the rap game okay well Tupac is one of them bigy so you're a pure rapper rapper would you say yes I'm 100% rapper you know I'm learning how to sing these days though but I would say I came from battling I came from doing rap shows you know you know where UPN I grew up up north you know kaduna jaw andja they take rapping seriously over there what bro talking about freestyle you know let me just give you a little info freestyle you know I used to do that way back in my days you know but you know in order to grow I wanted to grow out of the city you know I i' been battling doing battle rap for like almost a decade and I was like okay I can't just be stuck in this battle rap yeah so I relocated when I came to Abuja my first record label you know I started learning how to make songs because you're on the record label now they trying to check for your just your skills you know how can you sell records you know so I had to learn how to make music you know make commercial songs uh chart topping songs you know so uh hold on I had to leave that you know battling this thing I have a lot of questions to ask the first one I'm just going to ask is you mentioned the the battling scene and that's a big part of rap culture in anywhere yes in America Eminem he start up in the rap game uh and battling the culture uh NW ma they started up in the rap um in the battling culture so many great rappers even like even Drake sometimes he go all the greatest Rapp including JayZ went through the Bing game so so so what's up with the with the battle scene in in especially Lagos or like in Nigeria in total because I I've seen one video on Instagram ran across one video on my for you page I was like oh [ __ ] they're actually doing battles in Nigeria I was so surprised so like so can you tell me a little bit about that about like the battle scene here okay yeah they uh they got this thing going on called you know rap League or something you know I'm not really conversant with it though but I know a lot of rappers that follow me that do battle rap so every once in a while on my timeline i' be like whoa this is hot and crazy you know and I've been a judge to many so I can't even count so many rap battles I'll tell you one story there's one I actually did in somewhere in Su Larry okay yeah and the winner is one of the biggest artists or well not very like big but like he's a known name his name is Liles yeah l l I'm telling you for real L gonna rap rap what he started out as a rap rapper this dude would just go on and on you know continue with your story I'm I'm going to ask you he won he won that nights and everything you know so uh part of the deal I think was um he gets to feature me you know I was as an OG you know he just did a song out two out you know so recorded two songs and I was on one one was called bad guys you get then I think a couple of months later boom he got signed to ybnl you know so the thing the story here the morel of the story here is you know it's good to write from the ranks cuz you you're you're learning from that you know um wait hold up you did a song with him yes I did a he was part of the whole this I think he was giving some cash and then he gets to feature with me as well on the song so so you were his OG oh bro I'm like 20 no like you were his OG so that's why like he got a chance to feature with you yeah that was the deal of yeah but the deal never went through because he s with ybnl no I'm saying we recorded the record if you Google it Terry the rap man L cash bad guys Z yeah that was the the two songs that will they heard it's uh the other one was called lria yeah or something like that yeah and then he heard it and he was like whoa you know that [ __ ] is dope bro when he called me he told me like yo you know cuz he's from Bara as well yeah yeah so I was like bro so I didn't he pick you up why he a got he me I don't you don't me [ __ ] I mean but like but like you said that they heard the song that you and him did so why didn't he pick you up I have songs with L day really bro I that's going to be like another podcast you know what I'm saying like so a love of rappers these days like from TU Baba black face all they all started as rappers you know even whiskey you know what I'm saying and whiskey was on my first mixtape in 200 uh 8 no 201 I think 2011 I can't remember yeah it was my one of my first mixtes it had 2011 201 201 whiskey it was like his he was big back in 2011 it was before he shortly before he got signed when did whiskey get big big sorry I think in Nigeria not internationally I'm getting wrong I think 2009 or so you know it was called The Nigh house mixtape it had him at that time the only song I heard from whis kid was giddy girl yeah so I think they were pitching him to a lot of record labels and then shortly after that he got signed as well you know so um basically what I'm just trying to say is I love the AFR beat artist actually started it from rapping some still do rap you know ice PRS uh Mi but some had to you know it's all part of the growth you know like when you get signed to rec label you know there's that pressure like you got to making chop talking records everybody got to make money you know what I'm saying yeah but this is why as a rapper if you can find a way to make commercial music as well as still rap without singing that's a plus we saw Nat C how big natc was you D was rapping Kenny big was on Red Top 40 I remember I was in J I was like wow so you mean like as a rapper you can you know sell records like you can make big hit record you know it's was very inspiring you know so um no because I I I throw this question because and it's crazy you brought up NC because I met him where in uh in this place in E I got in a conversation I was like oh OG like what's good but like you left the scene like you dead just left the scene he was chilling with with his misses and I was like bro you left the sing like I feel like the game is missing your type of rap because I feel like true nobody Raps like that anymore and if they do they're not given the spotlight I feel like the only true rapper right now is odumodu what about po who L po L po like he's not he's not he's not song with buj was big though yeah but he's not in the light like that bro like you feel me like person is like so black is biggest rap star in Nigeria right now right now no I'm asking I think so I think so yeah okay I'm say he's the best no but he's the biggest biggest star yeah biggest star and the question I want to throw to you is you also mentioned that in your story of like you have to learn how to make records and also back in America in America as well not a lot of people from the battle scene can translate that into being an artist yes so I I want to know how how hard it is and number two the people that make it out of the battle game and are artists now do they show love still to the battle because I don't really see that okay it's a end of the day it's um Freedom of Choice you know um if you feel like your brand Now does not represent that rap skill you're trying to be a pop rapper you know per se you know I'll give you examples like for instance look at ludicrous ludicrous know he started out as that rapper rapper you know I used to hear his like early mixtapes from modai and this dude was really rapping rapping crazy you know kendri Lamar was in section eight he was rapping like the war is about to end or something you know but yeah you still got that flow you still got that battle rap I'm I'm coming after yeah but now you you see him making songs that can you know people could dance to you know even on this GNX dude was experiment ING with disco music like you know it was crazy you know Drake does that same thing too you know but I'm just saying basically like you just have to choose make up your mind whether you just want to be in a particular community be a champ all the time you know because that battle rap scene I don't see too many people becoming very big like the Tupac uh M&M's you know he started from there but you unless he chooses to just do Cipher with his Slaughter but to say that you the best rapper JayZ I can't even remember the last time Jay-Z was on any Cipher at all but to say that you're the best rapper though to say that like you're the because the rap game is also very competitive yes and to say that you're the best don't you have to be the best at everything I can kill you in a battle rap and I can also kill you in the records because Eminem can say that bro yes Eminem can say that would you take it away from Drake or Jay-Z and say should put their name in the top 10 top 10 greatest rappers this is the funny thing this is why I say I we can't remember the last time we saw him in any for and doing it you know he's like doing songs with you know uh at Future Beyonce or but you cannot deny his greatness you understand Eminem is because he comes from a different kind of he rose from the ranks from that hardcore battle rap yeah yeah he was always and I think but a lot of a lot of cats are from that cloth though a lot of character from that battle rap I mean your face bar for bar Drake from that battle Drake was not Drake doesn't do that though Drake is not really a okay this is what I want to ask you jcole Kendra Lamar Drake who's the better rapper in your opinion oh man you know every time I hear this who's the better rapper I can't say you know because they three of them okay if I were just to choose who's the better rapper you're a rapper who's the better rapper I'll go with jcole okay who's the better artist the better artist you said uh Kendrick jco and who Kendrick jcole Drake who's the better artist Drake who's the better Lyricist Jacob wow yeah why would you who who did you who did you have in mind the better rapper that's Lyricist rapper I'll say is uh uh uh what's his name the best the better rapper I would say is jcole because bar for bar he goes crazy lyrically wise right yeah no Kendra Kamar is the best Lyricist because Kendra lar sorry Kendra Kamar is the best better artist when I say lyricis because he tells a story even from is the Drake is the best better and Entertainer okay so when you are you have a record label who would you sign out of these three enter youer is gonna make me money so I just the end of the day it's a matter of choice you want to do those big numbers and everything you got sacrif those three guys can do all of those things though those three guys they they can rap they can beac but if you knows his like for Drake he focuses more on the hit records than you know even though that when last year when Kendrick draged him say that who do you think won that beef who who do I think won that beef well I wouldn't really say who cuz for me I heard some songs you know you know they were going back and forth like several songs and everything Drake was killing it but because um not like C was such a hot record you know all the elements add up the beat was so crazy was crazy song was filled with lies was filled with lies right filled with lies Drake literally fed that to his camp and he made a song out of it but it's all good so was it 100% lies or it was all lies bro it was all the song was filled with lies the only bro it was all lies what about Family Matters did he have some points bro everything Drake said and he said is rap too everything I'm saying is facts when we ready to rap about facts okay hit me up he said facts everything he said is about facts but speaking on beef have you ever had like a beef or somebody in the rap game lots of times lots of times like it gets intense rap or rap genre itself thrives around beef it's like WWF whether you like it or not because it's such a competitive kind of genre of music I don't hear that in like uh R&B or pop maybe they do have beef but in our own it's always that test okay you claim you are greater you're better than me I'mma test you you know and some of them they take it to the streets some of them they keep it on wax you know but it it's always like you always get tested as a rapper so do you guys form your rap like mannerisms and cultures off like the American style and see this thing is that where you guys get your inspiration from yeah I've debated this thing with people people keep saying like you know it's a bored culture or whatever you know but whether we like it or not in Nigeria there's so we have so many borrowed cultures you know what I'm saying if the apparels we're wearing and everything you get we're not all the time wearing AB Natives and everything you know just always we borrow cultures just like how even in America you see them trying to be African you know you see even white girls braiding their hair you know it's it's we borrow from different culture but for hip-hop music I think it's an African culture you know the the people that started it over there if you trace The Descendants it was Africa you know so we carried the whole maybe it was from the plantation Fields wailing and all complaining about stuff my problem is just how much do you borrow though how much do you borrow well you try and keep it as authentic as possible you know like for me I'm just a real person I I know how I love to dress I'm more comfortable with uh you know hip-hop clothes everything you know only maybe I'm going for occasions that you might see me in the suit or traditional and everything but I like to dress like a hipop artist because how I grew up bro like now I even try to tone it down we used to Sag our pants down I remember that my dad be looking at me like oh my God no this is this is my you know but I mean you get it's no but this is my take on that though like I feel like because rappers are artist and as an artist especially in today's day and age you have to stand out yes so I feel like if I see a guy that has like baggy clothes you know sneakers and I'll be like yeah that's a rapper but if I see a a [ __ ] in a suit I was going to throw me off a b you start rapping I'm like okay okay he looking he looking fly now you know this something different you feel me yes I so like have you ever like tried to go on that angle of because or or or Le you're not trying to sign but I feel like if you're trying to get signed I always tell artists like take chances like BR dress up have a cameraman standing the bus brt bus and just start singing your song bro rapping because he stands you out bro go to the market just start rapping in 2010 I sh a video called boys and US smiling which is my brand by the way a phrase that shout out to boys and not smiling come on now so uh we sh a video with Clarence Peters and he told me like Terry you need to switch up man wear a suit and you know I was like oh you sure yeah and when I saw the video it was like a whole movie you know what I'm saying and I feel as rappers sometimes we need to we we we need to just break out of the the way see us sometimes you know because perception is everything you know just cuz your environment is like maybe the trenches doesn't mean you you have to dress like you're trying to leave the trenches you know like I I'm trying to I'm trying to boss up I'm trying to level up you know yeah so it's not every you know I feel like the best rappers bro what the best rappers have that have that Talent of I can switch up into any Persona Drake that's true Tupac acted movies Eminem acted movies n m uh Dr Dre ice CU bro I feel like even when you're rapping a bar and it's not really true but you got to put that you know that emotion into it like when you L like what genre of music sells Brands more than hip-hop I I heard about Versace for the first time a hip hop lyric and I was I need to buy that yeah it was well two two now you all you C I was like okay I need to buy this myself like yeah I was like for him to for him for him to attack bigy like you you you stealing my dress Cod that means vers is some Elite you know so I remember like I was looking for that I got it like the the low down version though it was Stace uh same thing you know from the uh you know Calvin Klein FUBU I remember everything you know Louis Vuitton is Louis Vuitton you saying all this why haven't you done it though are you are you just like are you okay with your style like why don't you just try something different that's one of the thing like us rappers especially in Nigeria we go through you know record labels I don't think there too many record labels that willing to take that risk to sign a rapper I think that's why we have few rap stars you know and even when they do sign a rap star they always like ah okay you got to tone down the rapping try singing and then that's it you become a totally different person but I think we should take more risks like you know like how storm did way back Chocolate City you know sign rappers you can just it's just how you sell the brand you know and rap is not always rap is not always about that dog dog no sometimes you could you could be rapper you could be but you understand the business side of things though I'm learning I'm learning every day I was talking to some artists that were here the other time and they were like yeah bro these record labels are literally looking for like how much streams you're even getting out before they even talk about signing you like you posting your song on Tik Tok I manyl getting stuff like that so like so they always want they want you to already be like ready made Star before I understand cuz that that I I won't lie to you that's my beef with the movie industry I feel like in the movie mov industry where we're going to we're just thinking Glam will sell and we're forgetting the art side of things I get where you're coming from same thing with rap people are just looking for what was sell we're not actually focusing on the jcole type Tupac Biggie type rap bar for bar we're not focusing on different kinds of you know there different so many kinds of rap Styles yeah I definitely feel that the same beef I have with the movie industry okay an influencer would just she would get buddy done or a guy looks good and they'll say put actor on their bio that's it and and and I felt like you can't say you're an actor compared to somebody that went five six years training voice training even went graduated from graduated bro got the everything got more ceric and you say you're an actor and I'm an actor like I feel like it kind of discredits the the craft but I feel like it's what is what the world is and that's why we have to compete against yes it's it's it's vanity you know so in entertainment I think some people just want that say that again say that word again vanity yeah you know uh if a girl just looks good straight up and everything you don't really need to know how to act just give her a script and you know you understand why though yeah to an extent that's why I said I'm learning the business now I used to be just that art person like I felt my skills would sell when I came to Lagos if you see how my eye clear like bro it's not like that I thought I would go to a couple of rap battles and then that's it I'll become the champion no you know reality hit me in the head and I was like okay you got to know how to make records that will rival a sha you understand they don't care whether you're a rapper I just find a way to do it you know so I had to go back to the drawing board you know this time around I'm working I'm even working with younger producers young kids you know that showing me oh this is the new s I'm like oh okay it's not like what all right you know so you you learn every day and then you have to learn some certain things as a rapper as well because this whole you got to battle battle [ __ ] how long are you going to you know you're just going to be like a champion your among your peers what of the people that don't listen to rap music you know you want songs that can crossover as well like I was talking about L post um what's that song again feeling with B what's it way I'm what's name the song feeling right yeah you know I want to have a record like that I you know I always just want to yeah okay everybody knows Terry the rap man can rap okay can you sell records aha now that's that's my biggest challenge you know I'm just thinking about what you're saying now and just all I'm all I'm hearing is bro there is no blueprint in this entertainment industry bro like I feel like in other professions there's somewhat of a blueprint where you can follow if if you follow this person's pattern you're assured some sort of success but I feel like in the the the the most people tell you in entertainment industri be consistent consistent consistent yeah and a lot of people use controversy how much patience do you like but that's but even some people use controversy and they still don't make it so like that's not even really a blueprint but they still try though because right now like since like no form so everybody like trying to just but what about the girls I thought BBL was the way to go they got BBL and they still where they are still ,000 followers so where because every girl has I'm just trying to say like people think there's a blueprint and people start using that blueprint and people realize though was not a blueprint yeah but you know errors Chang I don't think there a blue a blueprint that could that worked 10 years ago might not work now you know yeah fact and but what was the blueprint 10 years ago to make it as a rapper bro I feel like as a rapper it was by chance too so feature a pop artist you know trying you know um make commercially viable songs radio friendly songs and everything but now even with that sometimes you just don't get it like you know I've seen I've seen I've seen a lot of people feature International acts and still the record did not blow and I'm like what is going on you know so I feel like right now it's Tik Tok bro if you get if you get a track that go crazy on Tik Tok like all these all these all these people can make challenges give all the skit makers I'm telling you bro no one can talk to you bro yeah like oh what's the name of that guy the moment you the I promise you that that [ __ ] has been making songs for the past seven years they probably know and he just this song probably he just released and he just blew he didn't even know he didn't even think it Blow and I always tell artists that like bro it's the song that you don't think will blow that blow I might for real that's a point there for real yeah so just keep like there this song Joy is coming I've for gotten name of the artist d just came from nowhere you know well his first song I Saw the I saw the video on Tik Tok I was just laughing he was holding the chicken like in the farm or something oh you didn't hear his first song I that's the only song you know that song but that was like his Breakout song I feel okay you don't this one wasn't I think this was the biggest song This Joy you think I think a was big too bro okay a was big and it was like reaching that December time bro that sh was going crazy Joy's coming was kind of like a new year Vibe you's his name again F all right fedo bro we need to get him on the podcast bro we need I'm sure the guy if he watches no no no I I I bro funny thing that I've I've seen his face like twice but bro the music is it's contagious turn you down like no rap Mast you didn't you didn't know my name no bro never I'm bro I'm I'm I'm not good with I'm not good with's names and birthdays that one is a fact I'm not good with people's names and birthdays I don't even I still today I don't know like girl though bro I don't even bro my some my my SI need to remind me my mom's birthday bro no no no no but but it's not I mean bro I'm not going to be perfect true it's not that I'm not going to go out for your birthday I'm definitely going to go out for every but true bro dates are just crazy is too much these days come on now yeah so much bro like don't I feel like people always get salty about may people forget don't be salty remind me like bro just don't be like oh what when is my birthday bro I don't [ __ ] don't just remind me I'll do something like the [ __ ] don't get emotional about that [ __ ] too much going on bro there's a lot of [ __ ] going on bro [ __ ] are trying to sell records what the most streams you've ever had on a song don't go there man on blast I feel like I feel like streams is though is the new thing asking your chat was good so so what's the most streams okay recently I would say 10K but the biggest I ever had was actually cover I did for a song called um this whis Khalifa Black and Yellow Black and Yellow I don't I did a cover for it and boom you understand I think the thing is doing like last time I checked 10 and something K God damn I'm just saying that's yeah boy you going to buy me a Rolex stop whiskey probably watching this like stop playing that a streams no bro no you need do like a meal whis is in the buildon I know for real God damn that [ __ ] has had streams on come closer one dance those two songs alone see once you once you do a billion streams and I don't I think you can just feet up but I hustle though yeah but I feel like that gets you more hungry bro that's why I feel rappers you have that kind of Drake has been the most streamed artist consistency for the past like seven years if not more Drake is hungry that's why he's my goat Broar comes in and out four years in four years out I don't need that I don't need that and then JayZ every once in the N J no JayZ a CEO bro Jay-Z a CEO he a different type of dog now he on that 50 50 Cent level MH true but 50 is just trying to find beef for anybody bro 50 recorded I don't there's no project from 50 since doing movies he's trying to start beef with a with a BMF you know big meat yeah Oho bro he been Big M beefing bro I don't know kind of I don't know who they give 50 Cent liver because bro the kind of people he beefs with sometimes like this say bro no it was 50 50 that type of gangster bro like that [ __ ] was selling crack age of 14 what you think this is bro Brooklyn Heights are you kidding me bro stop playing bro you B mobster bro 50 c don't need a gang bro he's the real ghost bro what he's the real [ __ ] ghost but everyone knows that [ __ ] bro he literally owns he owns Big Mee's rights how did he like his name everything how did he do that because okay let me tell you the story so basically Big Meech was going to jail because of the BMF um recoil case and everything so Big Meech sold his rights to uh to a lady let's just call her J he solded it to her because he thought he was going to prison for every type of stuff and he was giving it to her so that instead of him snitching snitching directly she will snitch for him so he gave it to her as a kind of like a hold on to this you know that I'm I'm straight with you're straight with me you know he gave it to her and she snitched for him but the snitching didn't go through because she was having an affair with the uh with the government agent that she was snitching to so anything that man said on court was basically indispensable because we don't know you're ly or not because you go into a relationship with her so big me stayed in prison for a couple years and he later comes out and 50 cents already made a a series of him the first series came out it was really good with big Mitch's son actually and 50 comes out and big Mitch is chilling with like people that 50 don't [ __ ] with Rick Ross and all of them 50 is like oh 50 is the most pettiest niggaer in the world he's like okay bet he's like I'mma make a documentary about how you snitched on your whole crew big Mitch is like no no I did snitch I this s was like yeah because because you gave this Shorty your rights not to snitch for her to snitch for you and guess who owns your rights now me I you be posting DMS big Mech cannot do anything with his name bro he can't do a concert with saying Big Meech is coming he has to use his whole government name Delirious something something bro crazy bro wow yeah it doesn't hit the same big Mee Delirious nah bro to 50 yeah no 50 5050 is a is is a petty ass [ __ ] bro he's Petty bro till today how you going pay for three R till today and just sit back to watch a bro do you know it is for you to be have to get jobs outside of America because of one like even a snake would be looking up bro I feel like that was the biggest mistake jar ever made buto beef him with 50 but you know he he also tried to kill him so you have to understand if if 50 can't kill him back I'm just going to make your life a living hell I mean J was part of I love J I love s is petty as hell bro he's going to make that nigga's life a living hell as long as he's alive even probably when he's dead even probably when he's dead 50 cents will probably make jal's life a living hell like you even put in the wheel life [ __ ] with this nigga's life if he goes before me make sure you [ __ ] with this [ __ ] until he dies and [ __ ] with his firstborn too bro 50 cents is crazy bro [ __ ] if you had that type of power will you do it I don't know if I'll be like that man I'm trying to I'll be a little bit because that would just attract more man are you scared of power no I'm not scared of power I'm always just like what it brings you know all that drama and all the controversy beef constantly you always have to watch over your shoulder and everything it's crazy I can imagine how politicians live every day it's crazy you know moving around I feel like they having a great security
