That Bae U pull of Pete Edochie to his studio is the biggest pull in the history of that show. 👏
That man is very old and he came to banter his grandson agemate for free without getting angry. The only biggest pull that can beat it is pulling Tinubu out of Aso Rock in 2027.
The whole sectors in this country is messed up… Banking, Telecommunications, Healthcare, Education…….
They all just find ways to make the life of the ordinary citizen a hell
This young lady left money in her Access Bank Nigeria account to go abroad and make money. She came back from Dubai, where she worked, only to find her money in Access was gone.
We are so used to a certain kind of Hip Hop in Nigeria that some critics struggle to appreciate what OD is doing.
You can’t expect every rapper to sound like boom-bap or rely on the conventional 4-bar punchline scheme.
OD’s writing is heavily rooted in street slang, lingua, gang semantics, cultural references and coded expressions. Sometimes, you actually need to understand the words he’s referencing before the bars fully click.
And that’s the point: not using the conventional rap formula doesn’t make you wack.
Take the “Valentine was soft…” section of 2:02 PM in London all the way to “striker wey don conquer.” Remove the bias and actually listen to how every bar connects to the next, how one idea leads into another and how much imagery and information he packs into that sequence.
I could break down just that section and it would probably become a whole thread because there is so much going on beneath the surface.
I didn’t even like OD initially but when I deliberately took the time to listen, I realised he has genuinely carved out a very distinct rap style and writing identity for himself.
You don’t have to like his music but dismissing his lyricism simply because it doesn’t sound like the Hip Hop you are accustomed to is a different conversation.
To crown it all, “2:02pm in London” will stand as one of the best Hip Hop songs ever made by a Nigerian rapper.
