One day we should have an open discussion with HIPHOP fans in Naij..where we discuss comparing our music to that in the states.. 🔑— Young Denzel (@MI_Abaga) February 27, 2016
I may be wrong.. I concede.. But I believe fans don't really listen to HipHop from Naija.. Our opinions are strictly based off hype— Young Denzel (@MI_Abaga) February 27, 2016
Man.. One needs calm to navigate the treacherous waters of Twitter with an opinion..— Young Denzel (@MI_Abaga) February 28, 2016
If IM3 is better than these Yankee rappers albums will you guys be honest and say the truth????!!!!— Young Denzel (@MI_Abaga) February 27, 2016
There are many great rappers in the states.. I agree with that.. Sirs ..With all humility ..I am as great or greater than 95 percent of them— Young Denzel (@MI_Abaga) February 29, 2016
Last.. Don't buy into the hype.. What your Nigerian rappers are doing is amazing.. Balancing culture language audience and rap #IM3TheFinale— Young Denzel (@MI_Abaga) February 29, 2016
IM2 took at least 10 rappers no one had heard of and put them on the map.. Name a Yankee mixtape that has done same.. #IM3TheFinale— Young Denzel (@MI_Abaga) February 29, 2016
