The Nigerian artistes discussed rap misconceptions as well as the choice of language in rap music.

A clip from the video recently went viral on the Internet. What sparked this was - Ikechukwu was seen to be throwing jabs at Vector asking him what spectacular thing he has done for hip hop, to which Vector responded that he made money off a two hour radio freestyle session. The context of their dialogue has been made clearer in the full video of the show.

Ikechukwu wasn’t intentionally trying to diss Vector, even though it seemed so, rather it was an intellectual conversation going on where the rappers were deliberating on what could move the Hip hop culture and music forward.

With regards to the definition of a hip hop artiste, Modenine said as an emcee if you sing more than you rap, then there is a problem.

On the future of hip hop and making it spectacular, the rappers gave their 'two cents' on the matter.

“When decision makers start that Hip hop is important, enough for them to start balancing out Hip hop acts with pop acts at events, that’s when something spectacular is happening” Ikechukwu said.

IllBliss in his opinion of Hip hop music moving forward says “The corporates don’t believe Hip hop can affect consumption”. He challenged rappers to build properties and legacies.

Modenine simply hopes for the best as regards the future of Hip hop. Vector says the best way for the hip hop movement to stand the test of time is in the content.
