:M:ost :I:ncredible

2nd November, 2008
swe bar, Lagos
Naija

This short black boy sure had Lagos stand up for him as he had his Album listening party @ swe bar(city mall), on the wheels of steel was DJ XL.

Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I had swe on lock like never before, and the Prominent Naija hiphop heads were present. damn i hate it when i sound like i'm writing for some tabloid...lol.

Now i must say at this point that for some reason i can't explain rappers find it very easy to hate on each other esp. as it helps generate the kind of controversy which in turn sells records...lol.
Not Judo, he flows and fights fair plus M.I. got so much love from other artiste and record bosses which is unusually uncommon for a listening party, I mean the kinda luv you'll get from Album launches, celebrity weddings...etc.

The 'P' @ M.Is gig was 'M'ost 'I'ncredible & very heavy, he simply blew every1 away as he featured 1st as a ::producer::, and then as an ::artiste::, and finally as a ::performer::.

On his third presentation to the audience as the performer he showed us what the 'short black boy' could do by squashing the 'crowd mentality', 'Blazing' the audience and then finally bringing the rhymes home 'Safe'...lmao

Indeed M.I is a breathe of fresh air to the industry,if the likes of Tuface and Dbanj got their international recognition @ MTV as a result of the creation of some special category this dude M.I isn't gonna fly their style.., I believe very much he's tight enough to go head to head with the likes of kanye west, lil wayne, Flo-rida... with good and calculated management.

Its the grammies baby yeah... they said we couldnt do it from home...(noting that artistes like seal.. have done it from the diaspora), well with artists like M.I, Naeto C, Ikechukwu, Mtrill, M9 and every other tight rapper on air all we need is some solid links to those that have voting powers for such events as the grammies(esp. the major labels...Arista, Defjam, Atlantic... Audu please don't take this for granted). We already have the international media...

anyways it was fun to see M.I once again hustling, and I'll bet he made 'more customers'. some of the celebs at this event were:

but of course all the swag wouldn't have been, save for pips like: Tosyn Bucknor, Noble Igwe, Chocolate City crew, Godwin Tom, Bobby Taylor & her crew, Ajibola Anthonia Olubiyi(Swe bar) and lots of other wonderful pple i dont knw and most importantly crazy FANS like meself...yeah 'we''we'...lol U guys ur seeds of love haven't gone unnoticed before long you'll blow in ur fields...AMEN

Now to some lows and wierd stuff of the event: the program started @ bout 7:00pm as against 4:00pm, that sound man was a rude boi...lol, at some point i tot Omawumi was really High cos she kept dancing like...sheba and Djinee was actin like he wasn't 'safe' esp. after taking some of that dope from the 'i no dey shame video'...just kiddin. Why was Kunle's(rooftop) voice the loudest all through the event, tot he was supposed to be a lyrical evangelist, sure hope he didn't do the 'short black boy drink'?

Another risky but smart arrangement cos it worked fine was the fact that there was no classification or screening between the 'celebrities' and the audience/fans and so it was an oppurtunity for pips to relate with artistes.

In all, the event went well...cant wait for the Albums to drop starting DEC 1st 2008- 'Talk about it' and Illegal Music sometime around that time too (only available online as FREE downloads) and ONE sometime in January.

Like i said some time ago...3 Albums in 40days, not even Kanye can match that.

M.I is mosdef a BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE like 7 (vista is dead)...lol.
