Score Card Reactions : MARTELL CYPHER 2019 - M.I. ABAGA, BLAQBONEZ, A Q, LOOSE KAYNON

[@Sididotcom]

MI: “ you see the stair (stares) or what we building, but you can’t even find the first Floor (Flaw)...

[@seanNetX]

Another angle for you. M.I was very prominent on the older Hennessy cyphers but fell out with the brand's (Hennessy) handling of the cypher projects, so he dumped them and started off with the Martell cyphers. There was a diss line in this M.I cypher rap that made reference to "the other cognac", he was referring to Hennessy. This point is important because, M.I eventually went back to the Hennessy cypher at the recently dropped 2020 cypher. And he made reference to the reunion too. In addition, you'll realise that in M.I lines these days especially on the cyphers, he's not really bothered about dropping too many bars but rather he tells stories or just delivers a message, this is so because he feels he's seen it all done it all, made way for the younger ones (he mentored) to keep dropping the bars while he gradually exits the mainstream.

Finally! Been waiting for this reaction! 😋

[@madmax9997]

Same here

[@badmuswajud]

MI's last line about the 'other cognac this is how to spend your budget' is a reference to when he left Hennessy cypher claiminv they were under paying and disrespecting up and coming rappers on their cyphers. Important note that Vector was the main guy on Hennessy cypher around this time. He felt that last line coupled with other subs over the years was an insult to his person. Thus his first M.I diss 'TETRACYCLING'. Which was a little trash for me. And Mi replied with 'The Viper' which was dope. Vector replied with 'JUDAS THE RAT' which was equally dope. The Martell cypher was the breaking point for VEC but Hennessy cyphers weren't as dope as this. Then around November Hennessy made a little doc on the beer and it ended there. In December they both appeared on an Hennessy cypher featuring Ceemos and MI's brother Jesse Jagz.

I think you missed a part of that kaynon’s bars. He said I was ‘fucking’ broke for a while so I Exed her. ‘Success’ had a boyfriend but I text her. He personified ‘broke’ and ‘success’ as girls and how he left one for another. Before that mad extra line First time I felt kaynon tbh

Welcome to the #GSGang

[@MrBabema]

Lovely reaction here! Like his name, Loose's canon was on a loose, shooting shots at every angle, hitting targets of course. Blaqbones performed as expected. He's a battle rapper, so he's always battle ready. Loved his references. AQ is intelligent. His schemes are out of the world. MI is the boss. Always the boss. No doubt. Before now, I rated Blaq above all others but I quite agree with your review. I think Loose deserves the No. 1 spot. Thanks for the effort you put into this. Please do more works on MI (even after you're done with the beef stuff). Simply, MI is the rap god of Africa.

[@SeunTReacts]

😂😂 I enjoyed your reaction, bro. Nice one! You will appreciate MI more as you keep reacting

[@SteveBussaGS]

[@olissathefeminist]

Hey Steve, you're doing a great job, Well done! I just want to point out the fact the biggest lyrical war in Africa was sparked off by this M.I Abaga's lines on Martell Cypher 2: "So who really the best rappers in Africa? Who been top the chart but still giving them lyrical massacre? I Put it like this, as long as M.I exist, I'm number one and y'all can figure out the rest of the list. Here we go: 2 Ghanians and 3 rappers from SA 1 Kenyan rapper can step to me on they best day." The assumption was that he was talking about AKA, Casper Nyovest, Nasty C (SA rappers), Sarkodie, M.Anifest (Ghanaians), and Khaligraph Jones from Kenya. This didn't sit well with other African MCs. Many lyrical replies from Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Tanzania... I think the doppest of them all was Lyrical Joe's reply to M.I, he titled it Dracarys. Steve, I think you should do a review of 'Dracarys' by LJ. It's got mad punchlines from an angry MC. Check it out.

[@EaziPetsAndCruise]

@SteveBussaGS Another crazy reaction by the Reaction KING. Really enjoying this series so far. This is 🔥🔥🔥💥💥 I'm glad how u were able to pick out most of Loose Kaynon's bars on the first listen!! Blaqbonez came hard as usual... AQ was smooth with the flow and MI crowned it off with some OG shit(had a couple of double entendres at the beginning of his verse) Anyway, I believe u must be wondering how this Cypher is related to beef between MI and Vector. First, u must know dat MI was the Hennessey "Ambassador" in Nigeria, with Hennessey being the biggest promoter of hip hop/rap culture in Nigeria. The issue here is, MI, being the brand ambassador was of the opinion dat Hennessey should pay the rappers dat featured on their Cyphers but apparently Hennessey was against dat suggestion. They were of the opinion dat they were already doing too much for the artistes by giving them their platform to showcase their talent🤷🏻‍♂️ When MI pressed further, they decided to terminate their contract with him and hire the next best alternative who happens to be...(yeah, u guessed right) Vector 😅 as their new brand ambassador. MI was later hired by Hennessey's rival, Martell as their brand ambassador. So MI's last line when he said, "...and dat other cognac(Hennessey), this is how to spend ur budget!!" He was effortlessly taking shots at Hennessey which happens to be a brand that Vector represents.

[@SteveBussaGS]

This is heavy and mad informative! Ty!

[@EaziPetsAndCruise]

Yeah bro, we've got to fill u in on the full gist in order to get the best reactions out of you. U know what I mean😅

[@ambrosebright6124]

This is crap you and I does not know the reason hennessy ended their contract with Mi and point of correction hennessy had Naetoc with MI together. I don't understand why you all trying to paint this man Vec evil get your facts rights. When Mi was with hennessy never did Hennessy artistry class vs artiste please say your facts say what you know Vec started hennessy artistry with hennessy he started class vs artist with hennessy. Mi complain about hennessy not paying rappers on their cypher in 2018 which they started paying in 2019 he then come back in 2019 and said he feel disrespected when Boogey, Teetoo cypher were lebal underground rapper but in facts is they are still undergo and not on mainstream yet I guess you might not know about their existence if not they hennessy cypher Vec brought in. Correct me if I am wrong Vec said a word to Mi why is it that every time you talk about another cypher but when you are ask why their is no other rapper their he always claim that he has buggdet only for his crew. I am both Vec, Mi, Modenine, Mc skill thapreacha, Aq, Terry tgapraman, Boogey, Mtrill fan before this beef though.

[@EaziPetsAndCruise]

@@ambrosebright6124 lol.... Hw does my info paints Vector black?? Dat MI was against a certain Hennessey policy and Vector stood up to defend his brand is painting Vector black?? Common bro😄

@@ambrosebright6124 ....and by the way, I knew Boogey from way back when MI featured him on "Ridiculous" in his Illegal Music 2. He was dope on the track and I've been following him ever since so ur assumption of me knowing him through Hennessey is wrong😏

[@seryxme]

@@codeg33k The problem is that MI doesn't try to outdo the others on these cyphers. He's got a whole discography with fire bars that he's got nothing to prove, or that's how I think he sees it.

[@EaziPetsAndCruise]

You both have point. MI is more of a preacher/storyteller and dat makes him pretty much relatable but dat doesn't take away anything from him being dope. He's an amazing MC with a great discography (loaded with bars) to speak for him
