letra de naija hip hop 101, pt. 2 - ruggedman

im back again you know what i mean
naija hiphop 101, second lecture
i won’t take your time too much
i just wanna let you know a few things
you know
if the culture was not nigerian
and its not nigeria
you know so
the american culture, british culture
is different from the nigerian culture
first things first wetin be culture
what is culture
culture is the customs and beilefs
art, way of life and social organization
of a particular country
or group
note the key words here class
customs and beilefs
art, way of life and social organization
of a particular country
or group
and the country we are talking about right now
is nigeria cus that’s whеre we are from
so sincе we are nigerians
that means our hip-hop culture
must contains elements of nigerian customs
beliefs, art and way of life
to cultivate our own hip-hop culture
our nigerian hip-hop has to contain
nigerian dance steps, the nigerian language
instruments
you talk about the environment and
the nigerian way of dressing
definitely we are influenced by some things
in the western culture
but that dosent mean
we discard all of our own
that’s the only way we can tell the world straight up
where we are from
because if south africans didn’t do it
they wouldn’t have —
if the ghanaians didn’t do it
they wouldn’t have hip-life
my brother you no fit sell snow to eskimos
you no fit sell sand to desert dwellers
meaning you can’t do rap the american way
better than the american
and if you try
you’ll just be lost oh
boy you go just enter
you go just be one of those people
wey dey try rap like oyibo
wey dey sound like oyibo
and definitely you’ll not be good enough for america because
every baby right now in america is born with a mic
a full album and a mix tape
if we do it right
if we put a face to nigerian hip-hop
we can sell the nigerian hip-hop
and that’s the truth
according to the gospel of nigerias own
rugged man, ruggedy baba
for now class dismissed
