While I was in Uniport in 2010, staying back of Chem in Choba and later moved to D' Address at Aluu. I had room mates that were clans men. The second verse in this song kept me straight. Apart from the up bringing from my parents, this song made me avoid cultism and other social vices. Mode9 - CRY This song sends cold blood running down my spine, till date, it sends cold shivers down my body. As a tradition, I'll play this song to my son when it's time. They don't make songs like this anymore
Still remember how Mode 9 told us he would rule the rap game after NYSC. We were at Obubra, Cross River State NYSC camp in 1999/2000 and few years later he won best rapper in Africa with this song - Cry
First heared this song just after leaving high school in 2007. Unfortunately some kids didn't learn from this song, got initiated into cultism and today they are long gone. This is June 2023 I am just wondering if young boys and girls will ever abstain from cultism and violence.
All he needed was two verses. This record should be in the hall of fame, used to coach folks. I watch modenine's live sessions to take wisdom out, feels like its a class he'd always have something to say!
I finally found the song I've had stuck in my head for almost 2 decades. Remember my elder brother playing it while I was in primary school. Listening to it again now I am older and having a better understanding plus the nostalgia from a simpler time makes me appreciate it more. It's 2023 and it's truly a classic ❤🔥
These guys really tried when it was like dark for music industry. Thry made MUSIC. They indeed paved the way. New artistes should just swallow their pride and respect thr OGs; they deserve their flowers. Shout out to Eedris, Mode 9 and the rest
Story telling is too underated. Mode 9 is the first rapper I ever heard and since I have been a rap addict. One of the greatest rappers to come from Nigeria
chart topping ''CRY''...REMEMBER PUTTING DIS SONG ON REPEAT ON MY SONY XPLOD THAT YEAR ....LOL.....EVERGREEN .....BEST HIP HOP VIDEO AND VIDEO OF THE YEAR CHANNEL O AWARDS 2006......STILL LISTENING 10YEARS AFTER
The rap message and the instrumental will bring tears to your eyes if you have ever lost someone really close and that igbo chorus by Nnenna just added the icing on that cake. So soothing. Perfectly blended song. This song deserved a grammy nomination.
One day , this my comment will become very old ... To the point my unborn Children and grand children will see it and won't even know it was their grandfather that wrote it..... I might have gone that time.... When they listen to this classic song from mode9 , they will remember me... Hmmmm.... This life and it's vanities...
I used to have a CD of Mode.9 Back then Man was a legend when it comes to Rap Music in Nigeria he got the most slickest punchlines, and metaphors and he was a good storyteller. I miss the healthy competition between him and RuggedMan. It hurts that most Nigerians prefer wack Commercial songs to incisive lyrics. From Terry Da Rapman O.D, GIno, Eldee and others God bless and keep you all Alive.
