TASUED CYPHER: THE REVIEW

I have waited for a while before i made my thoughts known on the first Cypher to be recorded in Tasued. Although i laud the efforts made by all the parties involved but as you all know by now especially for those of you that has listened to the track you would agree with me that there are two sides to this cypher and there some so called rappers that should not have been placed in that track at all, that being said it was a good effort and as it has been labeled 1.0 then we should be expecting a 2.0 in the nearer future.

Like the saying goes there is always 'the good, the bad and the ugly but in this scenerio there is only two sides being the good and the ugly. As a cool and calm guy as i am i would prefer to start with the good but what sort of critic would i be if i cannot start with the ugly.

THE UGLY
There are some artists that should not even surface in the preliminary of this cypher, although im not a rapper but my secondary school lyrics would still school some of the people in this category. In no particular order I list them

OLTASKILLZ
He is not as bad as i have portrayed the rappers in this category but his 'R' factor is so evident that you cannot mistake it anywhere. his flows are not dope but with the way he delivers it then you feel he should have done  a lot better than this cypher has been hyped to be. If it is said to be the Best rappers in Tasued then maybe there are only a few rappers in the institution maybe two or three i must say. 4/10


YOUNGWHALEX
What in the world is this dude doing on this track? Not only was he too slow for the beat, he was so watery that even his flows cannot compete with the Lagos state water corporation tap flow. Seriously he should be in a cypher on his own doing nursery rhymes in which "Mary had a little lamb" would still school him. He is someone i know and if he wants to be relevant even to himself he should drop mentors like Seriki and any other slow rapper he thinks he is following because his end point would not even get to the starting point of Skales. I don't mean to be harsh but this guy was wack, however there is one that is still wacker than he is. He gets a 2/10


FLOWPSYCH
This guy did not really impress me after he dropped a track that seemed to take the whole school by storm and turning it into an anthem and when it was time for him to turn up he just simply went low while others just took the shine. Nothing much to say about him because he was below expectation so i say i give him a 4/10


LIL' PITCH
I hope i don't get this wrong this time around. If this is the guy that was dropping lines like 'I'm Very imcredible o le pe mi ni VI" then i think the guy should just quit music entirely not only rap but music. He was so wack that he could make a lover of rap lose interest in the genre entirely. his flows are so weak and watery that if he should have a face off with Youngwhalex he would be schooled with the rhymes of 'Two Black Birds" he is that wack. He gets a 0/10

There are some i would have loved to mention but i dont even know who is who on that track except the ones i have heard before and have felt i know their style of rap to an extent

THE GOOD
The ones are more or less the very good ones in the school. I would not waste time on them as we all already know them.

MERCURY
This dude just killed the track he was one with dope lines and madt delivery in his dialect and he does it with ease as you can hear in his voice. He gets a 7/10 for me.

SHIGOSLAVIA
This guy is more or less like Olamide giving us rhymes that make us giggle even as we lsietn and we also rewind to listen again. He made his style known even in the crowd. He gets a 7/10 for me

ZAYO
This guy justifies why he won the Koga Competition, switching from slow to fast and teaching the types of Youngwhalex and Lil Pitch how to do it even if you are a slow rapper in the midst of fast ones. He gets an 8/10 for me


RALIO
He needs no introduction. 'There are two things he wraps women and words'. This guy is just off the hinges on this cypher and evidently it is known as Oltaskillz said there are professionals in this game and i must say Ralio shows he can be one of them. He gets a 7/10 for me.

There are also worthy mentions from this cypher and they are;
DAVETUNES 5/10
T'JEAZY 5/10
BREEZY 5/10


Although i am not a Hip Hop head but I believe i am one and my opinions just seem to be right most of the time. This is not a jab at anybody but for them to look inwards and know that this industry allows no room for mediocrity. Because you are good doesn't mean everybody would accept you or because you are trying and that is your style doesn't mean people would accept it. For the ones that were good get better and for the ones that were ugly well its either go BIG or go Home, its your choice.
