Modenine - It's About To Get Ugly [video] 

"an alcoholic on a tight rope wont trip for you guys"... Damn!!!! Mode9 has always been a legendary lyricist. This verse is more than 15 years old and it never gets old in my ears. Its just unfortunate that we are in a place where brilliance in art is not recognised. We need to give this man his flowers now!!!

Here in 2024, and Mode 9's songs still hit hard. ❤️❤️

Just finished secondary school when I heard this. This was the track that ushered in a generation of super tight lyricist. The last verse is crazy. mode9 is a hiphop legend home or abroad.

SWAT ROOT was the Rap group then ,Mode 9 ,Overdose ,Terry d Rapman,6 foot plus and Rulclean all giving each other positive support back then . 👍

Mode9 is like Rakim. He is extremely good but never truly honoured and recognized. History will remember him though.

The only time I kick a wack line Is when I keep ur lyrical pad on the floor And kick it like I'm playing ball This is war #Lyricism vs all y'all

2020 and I am still feeling this🔥🔥🔥🔥

2019 and am still rocking this song. Mode 9 is obviously the best Rap artist that has evolved from Africa. Its unfortunate that we don't appreciate good work from this part of the world.

May God bless me I need to get this man a car for his birthday for what he did for me. Love you King 9 forever #WeGlobe

"I don't 'Pray' for you, I 'Prey' on you, like a hawk. Bars!!.

I’m having a conversation with Gold Lynx right now talking about this event. 😎

This is the first song that was played on MTV Africa.

One Bar from Modo fvck with most of the album out nowadays

If you want to understand the levels to this song look for naija hip hop or naija rap tunes that were released around 2001, this song was like 8 to 10 years ahead of its time, but if your talking about lyrical content it's top 10 rap songs ever made worldwide. Yes I said it

Fan Forever! 18 years and listening

March 2024... I'm here listening to this thorough classic. First hiphop song that triggered my deep love for the culture. Check me out guys....i dey small small

I got a lotta of fans so I wear my windbreaker... Bars upon barz in this jam. SWAT Root was the team back then.

I'm a mode 9 fan now

Mode9 will lyrically eliminate Sarkodie and any of your choice rapper. Still blasting this in 2020. Mode 9 is God of Naija Hip-Hop. I love and respect Sarkodie's music art and talent.

Swat root was like wutang clan back then.....Modenine is a beast behind the mic

Swat Root the rap group from Kaduna, the biggest rap group outta Nigeria, thank U.

This here was the 1st Nigerian Hip Hop video that ignited my passion for Nigerian/African Hip Hop. This track still remains one of my favorite rap song of all time. Each line is imprinted in my heart. Thanks Mode 9 for keeping the culture and being a role model.

One of Naija greatest rapper alive. This dude was my role model in Rap

Also don’t forget about how beats used to sound back then before samplitute music was better back then

Modo... Damn that brought tears to my eyes!!! This was my jam!!!!!

ALL HAIL THE NIGERIAN HIP HOP KING. For a first video, it looks really good. @modenine, what of 6ft plus? I used to enjoy his music from back in the day but it seems like he just fell off. Any update on his whereabouts?

Can someone send me instrumental of this beat or tell me where to get it from i want to freestyle to it
