Ruggedman, a nigerian front runner rapper, is being attacked from front, back, left, right and center. He came in the game with a diss track aimed at a couple of artist that were dishing out low standards music, according to him, and he came to set the records straight. And i have to agree with him, that after he addressed the issue of mediocrity in the nigerian music industry, things have gotten better, quality of music has improved. But i think right now, people are attacking him for going against his words and dishing out the same low standards he fought against.
I sit in my shop all day and i hear people, customers, friends, aquintances say less than degrading things about rugged and i feel what went wrong. Modenine recently dropped an album that had a diss track directed at rugged, and i can say it was heavy. The track was set to assasinate his character, sort of what jay-z tried to do to nas in 2001. And recently i heard that fellow rapper "illbliss" also has some words for rugged on his upcoming album.
A lot of people are saying rugged went wrong after he made the track "baraje", and got more popularity and fame, and money from the song. He got more shows because of the commerciality of the song, and has been trying to re-create the song ever since. We know the music business is a business like any other and the main purpose, asides the love for music, for getting into it should be to make a living. So rugged is saying, we all know he can rap, as he has shown us earlier on in his career, but it's time to make some money from the rap game.
