#Modenine #Nnenna #Cry - Розваги
This track, cry, was super relatable in Nigeria. I was in college back then and the track got everyone emotional, bringing more attention to some social ills. In my College, the Government had to bring in a Military administrator to deal with gang violence on campus. It is popularly called Cultism in Nigeria.
I appreciate the emotional intelligence you apply towards the comments. Really commendable.
Mode 9 will always have my respect. His style was largely influenced by krs1 & the likes. At the time "cry" was released, more people began to accept rap in the African context & that helped others like M.I. thrive.
You guys have bloods and *crips , here it is Axemen, eiye, pirates, buccaneers and more.
So the ganglife part is real and very relatable to Nigerians.
Hey Steve, You just earned yourself a subscriber. I think you should check out Modenine's Insulin or Superhuman ft Canibus. Both has that rah rah energy you like. Insulin has good audio and video quality too. I really enjoy your reactions. Keep up the great work.
Thirty-one dope raps songs dropped per day consecutively in thirty days.... Only Mode 9.
Africa's number one rapper at a time.
I love your music (hip hop) knowledge/intelligence; how you decipher the theme of a song from the beats, hook etc. It's why I keep coming back actually
The track was well received....haven't heard it for almost forever...thanks for bringing back some good prestine early Nigerian rap memories.
Dude you're awesome. Thank you for shining a light on the legacy of mode nine
Big shoutout to you man. I'm Nigerian but have been introduced to a lot of Nigerian artists and songs by you. These are guys I never new existed till I started watching your channel. I'm loving it.
This song is well recieved in Nigeria and most of new generation folks still have it on their playlist.
To date, the gang thing is very real in Nigeria.

I haven't even watched the reaction yet and I love it. I love this particular track by Modenine.
Its a much better representation
@@SteveBussaGS absolutely
This song (especially the first verse) was the inspiration of the first poem I even wrote some 15 odd years ago.
I fuck with this song like mad. Thanks for this.
On the topic of Gangs, we have cults here. Mostly in the universities (colleges), but also outside the school system. It has always been a plague, and the violence is as intense (if not more) as that of the gang violence in the US. The second verse is very relatable.
90s kids vibed to this in highschool and it holds nostalgic feels man... It was well received
Thank you so much for doing this! Mode is definitely highly respected across Africa and I think it will be really nice if you connected with him and do an interview or something. I'm sure he's cool like that. This song is one of his more commercially successful songs because it got good TV airplay.
About the gang stuff, well, let me explain it like this: rather than the crips and bloods street gangs over there (we do have some type of these too but not as pronounced), what we have is an absolutely criminal version of your school fraternities (and sororities). These frats (for short) were set up initially by activists in the university who were trying to fight against the institutions administration for the rights of the students. There actually are student unions as well but I'm guessing they weren't too active back then which necessitated the formation of some of these fraternities. Gradually they became very secretive and initiation processes were more and more dangerous and hidden to the public. Eventually, they became gangs on campuses, recruiting new members every year, growing in numbers across various campuses and obviously having rival wars where many young lives are lost. They became popularly known as cultists. The difference here with the gangs you have over there is that they mostly operate on university campuses (and off-campus areas where they dwell) but the destruction is just about the same - drive-by shooting, attacks at home, killings on the streets, full blown war, name it. They also have their colors too and they easily identify one another by these colors and the coded hand signals they throw towards each other. The worst part is there are more of them - Black Axe, Eiye, Buccaneers, Pyrates, etc - and the ladies aren't left out too with the Black Bras and Jezebels the most prominent. Sometimes too, these connections go beyond just the university days and you can have the fraternity advantage later in life but the dangers can also follow too. So, you can understand why the 2nd verse is very much relatable here as well. It's quite a common story too - friends going to the university and joining rival gangs - though it's not often as tragic.
Again, thanks for doing another Mode Nine song and hopefully it goes beyond this because he's truly a legend.
On to the next one. Let's goooo! #GSGang
Gang life is active in Nigeria. Seriously dangerous situation.
Gangs life are really serious but are branded in Nigeria as Cultists..
It's a totally relatable concept back then and even right now. The gang life was and is even more existent.
Overall, it's a great track. Nothing supersonic but very very decent verses and dope concept. Good job bro
This track is still my favourite and best Mode 9 song
I love your sincerity
Yo Steve, the gang ish is really real in Nigeria for real... you need to checkout ELBOW ROOM by Modenine 🔥🔥🔥🔥
O.G still the best till this days, respect SG💪👌💣💥
bro, over here in Nigeria, is crazier than anywhere in the world. Its brutal, aint nobody playing around with that. ask around man, this is NIGERIA!
Guy for naija dem dey work with 7s and 100 in other places in the world they use guns don't compare
It is still one of my favorite songs till date
I don’t know why no one has suggested this but YOU NEED TO REACT TO ELBOW ROOM.
That is the jam that made me fall in love with Hip-Hop 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please Steve you need to react to Elbow Room.
Damn mode nine on elbow room was wild!
@@leograyify Bruhh!!! There are no words. For him to have been dropping those kinda bars at a time we were ignorant of that shit simply means he’s not to be fucked with
Exactly, elbow room or 360 degrees journal. Cry is just ok
We have gangs in Nigeria but its mostly on College level. It's called cult. Also there's hooliganism, thugs (we call them Agbero).
This song dropped in 2004/2005. At the time it was very well received and introduced Mode 9 to my generation of music listeners, as I was a kid at the time.
I will love if you could do a scorecard on Phenom.. guy is dope
#GSGang
This is the awesome, 👍 always keeping it 💯 I'm still waiting on the illegal music series completion, you've started it, let's finish it.
On love 💕 Bro
Last week was ladies week, we are picking back up all the series this week
@@SteveBussaGS WOW, That's awesome, can't wait.
And to be sincere, you and your team are doing one hell of a Job, keeping track of all those requests, and still keeping it a 💯.
Respect to you and your team
#GSGang
Yo, we here, all day for the good shii.
Well cry is a song I love a lot..i think my fave of his, done like 13years ago..song did it thing.
Gangs/cultism was quite a thing in the late 90s & early 2000s in Universities mostly in southern Nigeria.
The trinity MI abaga and AQ
This has been requested over a million times already, you should get into it already 🙏🏻
This is way better than the last one.
Agreed
Great song.. this song won 3 Chanel O award back then.
Does channel O still exist?
Mode 9 cry, every rhyme about this track was nothing but d truth.
From college rivalry to culture of a tribe in Nigeria.
Cry is a reality in Nigeria. Something must must make d mama cry again.
Colleges in Nigeria have gangs, called fraternities. They do hits on one another. It's very relatable. Thre are a good number of them, also street gangs
Perfect mode nine review suggestion should be "elbow room"
Please do elbow room by mode 9. Cultism is a big deal in Nigerian universities.
cry is new everyday, you can't hate it
Well received here in Nigeria even till date and the street gang sta shit is real in Nigeria too especially when it comes to high school frat...
Hi. I think you'd really like "Nine" by Modenine. It was produced by Jesse Jagz and has that Rahrah feel you like.
I feel like anything produced by jesse is fire
@@SteveBussaGS Jesse Jagz beats/productions between 2008 and 2015 were elite AF. Shame he seems to have fallen off a bit, both as a rapper and a producer.
@@SteveBussaGS Nine has been in my favourite rap playlist since 2008,Jesse Jagz was mad on the beats, Mode9 spazz out and the Album "The paradigm shif" was a classic
Hae steve i knw u will be wondering why I'm going through a video frm 2 years ago
Mode9ine paved the way for Nigeria hip hop i grew up listening to him he is one of the main reason i do and listen to hip hop
Modenine- insulin, Modenine ft Vector - Zoning out, Modenine- Esoteric mello, modenine- Spit My Shit Remix. These are recent videos and fire
Zoning Out and Spit my Shit are real fire!
You're on point, bro. If he listens to mode9 albums from 2010 till date, he would appreciate him the more. From his Malcom IX & Pentium IX albums, mode9 has Questmedia Freestyle and Biasma Freestyle. These were even in 2003/2004 respectively. If reactor listens to his recent Freestyles, he would even dobale(prostrate) for him. In 9ja, Mode9 would always and always be applaused for his temple of hiphop culture
Well I always knew you would have a change of thought...big ups to you for that..mode 9 is an african rap great in his prime he was the best in africa and yes gang killings is very high in Nigeria and that isn't even among modo's bes ten songs
I appreciate the fact that you went soft on this one, enough to accommodate your new family and also enough not to lose face acting like you backed down, thats the stuff of greatness. That being said, this track was recieved because the maladies he spoke about are SUPER RELATABLE in Nigeria. We have gangs in Nigeria too but he wasn't talking about that in the context of the American millieu.
In Nigeria we have cults, they are a degradation of the fraternity system you observe, they are now a "family" that you belong to in school for protection and a boost up the pecking order and they are every bit as brutal and dangerous as street gangs. For context please research "cults and fraternities in Nigerian universities".
I really like your reaction videos, they help me get perspective and ground me in my own writing. All in all, the reaction is your own honest opinion as expressed to your viewers, they should also appreciate that as much as it is a statement of you, it doesn't affect sales of records nor alter any set legacies so they should calm down.
Here in Nigeria, we have Selena-tested gangs man... odeshi gangs
Axe & machetes & guns & bottles...etc
Check out elbow room, sound of darkness or formidable off his Malcolm ix album
My guy, you correct.
Great reaction Steve!!! Please react to his track called elbow room, one of his best. #gsgang
The gang violence over here was rampant in colleges in the 90s and early 2000s but now it's in highschools and even the streets...
Black axe, Vikings, Eye (Birds),...
Even some of the celebs belong to a cult/gang group.
Most actually, some not active obviously, but the "proclaimed" top 3 Nigerian artistes all belong
Out there is gang but down in Nigeria is called cult. It has claimed alot of youth life..... So relatable
You need to check Modenine's Paradigm Shift !!!!!!
The chorus was sung in the Ibo language. She's just crying and asking what she did that death came to her home
Thank you for that
Something in me wanted to correct your spelling of "Ibo" then I realised your are a nwa afo
We have what is referred to as cultist in Nigeria...which are basically the gangs. Can't start naming them cause of the sensitivity sometimes. Maybe whenever we have a chance to talk privately I can elaborate.
This song won channel O award then
Swept all rap categories in the whole of Africa around 2006 & 07
#GSGang...👌🏽
The gang life in Nigeria is super super real. We're talking about Mafia affiliates, multi billion dollars drug cartels, assassins et all.
Song was done on 2007 and it was and still a massive song. The things he talked about especially in the second verse still happening and even get worse.
This wasn't a 2007 track. The album maybe, but not the track. This was '04/'05
Am an old timer bro. Google can be your friend. Check it out. Song was realized March 2007.
@@buka.a If Elbow Room was released in ‘06 then Cry was definitely not released in ‘04/05.
@@MrSkillz91 in 06 I was in sec school. Pretty certain Cry dropped when I was in Primary school, the track I mean
@@apostlex7562 didn't want to sound disrespectful...sorry if I did. I remember watching the video for the first time and I was in Primary school. I was already in sec school in 07. I would stop arguing further.
Just found your channel.... subbed! You should absolutely react to "writers club" by Pro Verb. He is the best lyricist ever to come out of Africa IMO, and thats a deep list to pick from.
Hey Steve....there r serious gangster, drug dealer and gang all across nigeria but mostly practices in the west and south part
Gangs are very big in colleges and universities in Nigeria. They refer to them as cults which is what is referred to here as fraternities. That was the initial goal by the founding members but it grew to the point where it became a mechanism to fight rich against the poor. And students use is as a tool or a platform to be the capon in schools. It has gone so bad that in some states in Nigeria if you are not gand affiliated, you cannot go to a bar and have a drink. The gang members have different bars that they control and neighborhoods that they run just like it is in California. So yes, gangs are big in Nigeria.
Steve, please see [SPAZMODIC- by MODENINE and Terry-the-Rapman].
Crips and Bloods are jokes compared to what we have here in Nigeria Boss... react to Spazmodic by Terry the Rapman and Modenine
Aswear
Cap
Yo!
Mode 9 ft Vector zoning out and also Mode 9 ft cannibus -- super human... Made tracks from back in the day
The gang culture exists in Nigeria. University students are in violent gangs called cults. We also have street gangs with their respective territories.
It is over big in Nigeria. The death on gang is serious here in Nigeria
Respect to Mode 9
Respect to the OG’s .. Steve do you have any song of yourself or battle rap! I really wanna hear you spaz cuz’ I know you a killer
yeah check the channel I have quite a few verses up, check out "Im just a reactor Vol 1" Its got like 5 dvd style verses on it
Steve i asked before and i'm asking again pls react to Elbow Room by Modenine, that song was what endeared him to me way back
If I do another one by him it will most likely be this, its asked for a lot actually
@@SteveBussaGS thanks man, really looking forward to it. And pls, you don't have to apologise for any of your reaction videos. That's why it's a reaction videa anyway, it's either you like it or you don't. My 2 cents man. Keep up the good work
I'm the 30th person here, I own the beat😁
#Gsgang
Yeah Gang Life.. Cultistsm Is Crazy In Nigeria. They Kill Each Other.. Brothers Killing Brothers
Gang life in Nigeria are mostly cult groups, that are very covert and often have dangerous clashes.
Gangs and gang fights are a common phenomenon in Nigeria
Can you PLEEEEEESE react to Judah's EP- MI Abaga... Particularly MI ft AQ - The Trinity
Yea His songs made him the best of his era. look at this guy Gino - No Be God.
base on true life story
The gang life is real in Nigeria
Steve if you want to see some dope rah rah shit react to Mode nine's "Spit my shit".
You are objective
Mode 9 is a living legend, know doubt me.
Mode has been A1 since Day1... His Penmanship is
dynamic
Bro...dont ever do this again. This is a reaction, REACT!!... stop apologizing, if you dont like it we get it. What's the point of viewing a reaction video if you will react to please your audience. We need real and original.
Ps: I reaaaaallly like you're reactions..Haha best reactor on youtube.
Ps: I'm Nigerian too
Actually, he has a point.
Reducing works of art that address pain and loss to numbers and percentiles is kind of tasteless.
Did you listen to him? He said he didn't know modenine was the foundation of Nigeria hip-hop and he apologize if he was being too disrespectful . He also added that if he knew what he needed to know about him, his reaction wouldn't change. I wasn't offended by the reaction but I think it's a reasonable apology. So chill!
I appreciate what you are saying here but allow me to paste this from a different comment
"I appreciate the message here. I dont want to point out two things though. 1. I didnt take back a single thing that I said and infact doubled down on my sediments on the previous video. Also told those who were butt hurt on the previous video to fuck off any part of the apology wasnt for them. 2. The apologetic tone came for Modenine himself and those who come to me to be educated as well as entertained. As someone who came up in hip hop culture is it very on brand to make sure homage is paid to those who paved the way. That was simply what i was doing. Rewatch the intro and hopefully you agree, regardless I still appreciate your words!"
I hope this clears it up a bit family
@@SteveBussaGS exactly 😂
Nice review, though this is 1 of the slow Modenine's song, he has the boom bap, the rha rha tracks. There is Elbow room, there is spazmodic, there is rhymetghight
Gang life is really real in Nigeria 🇳🇬
React to MI ft AQ - Trinity
He won't feel it. I am sure on that
He can't relate to that track
You want that rah rah, then listen to the song Spartans off his da Vinci mode album
There are gangs here and it's serious especially in colleges
It was actually well received amd wont the channel O African award that year.
But since you're more into barz and punchline and "violence" check his Formidable, 360degree poetry, 3kings ft JayZ and Rick Ross, Superhuman ft Canibus..the list is endless
Gang life is so much here
Try and react to Formidable by Modenine
Gang violence in Nigeria is huge
Steve make a review on any song by uzikwendu, he is the fastest rapper in Africa. his flows and delivery is mind blowing
What's the name of that drink you sipping on?
Bang energy drinks, they are 0 calorie and 0 carb so fit with the keto diet i tend to be on
Steve I think it's time you react to ELBOW ROOM by Mode 9. The track is 🔥
You should listen to contradiction by mode9. Bars!!!
If you wanna react to Mode 9.. try *Zoning out* by Mode 9 ft Vector... He really flexed on that song if you ask me... Something you might relate to in terms of bars he spit and all your rah rah rah shit you like.
So on the contrary, this was the song that won modenine his most awards. As at the time this song was released, cult (gang) wars were very very rife in Nigerian universities, lots of brutal killings from rival cult gangs, not so much these days. Modenine was more of a hardcore rapper and didnt quite connect with audiences in Naija that prefered dance tunes better, hence the lack of support. This was one of his most memorable hits throughout his career if you asked the average man on the street about his discography.
Gang violence is real in Nigeria Steve,I might say the gangs here are tougher than those in the US of A. Please check more of MODENINE archives, he is a dope artist. Please check MODENINE- Spasmodic,you'll see a young MI and Jesse Jags in the video shoot but didn't say a word (I guess they were both learning from the boss).
you need to react to elbow room by mode nine.
Give us another MI reaction or we riot. Nice reaction. React to MI abaga- Everything
Lol violence!
I swear down, i wish he cld react to Ice too
We are doing literally all of the Illegal music tapes relaaaaaxxxxxx lol part 2 will be up sooner than you think
@@SteveBussaGS looking forward to all. Side note I manage a small team at work and I find myself screaming let’s gooo when they’re making sense during review meetings. What an influence you’ve been 😂
That is amazing 😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘
Mode nine is the Africa goat. 30 days of modenine. One track per day.
cultism is real here too. and this jam......one of the very few things i get first as soon as i get any new device for the past 10yrs mode9 is god of true rap in nigeria.
steve react to blagbonez - best rappers in africa and also Icon cover
STEVE KINDLY REVIEW PROMODE MIDE NINE AND PROVERB...HEAVY BARS PUNCH LINES METAPHORS WORDPLAY...ITS THE WHOLE PACKAGE TWO OF THE CONTINENTS DOPEST NIGERIA AND SOUTH ARFRICA CANT WAIT FOR YU TO DO THIS ONE 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
