10 STEPS TO BE MORE INCREDIBLE THAN MR INCREDIBLE (MI)

Since His debut on the rap scene with his award winning single Crowd

Mentality, MI real name Jude Abaga has held us spell bound with amazing

delivery, articulate rhymes and sleek rhymes. No doubt the self acclaimed

African Rapper No1 is one of the most popular rapper among fans and Emcees

alike. Like any top artist such as Naeto C, Mode 9, Rugged Man, has a

rapping style that can be instantly recognized. For obvious reasons a lot

of aspiring rappers want to rap like him, some want to be successful like

him. I’m about to let you in on 10 things you need to know or do to be

more incredible than the Mr. Incredible himself MI. not necessary in this

order.

1.Celebrate where you came from:

M.I has never ceased showing love for J-Town (Jos), charity they say

begins at home. Rep your hood because they will be the ones with you when

the crowd leaves.

2.Rebrand Yourself:

It might amaze you to know that MI initially stood for Mission Impossible,

to make his mission possible; He had to rebrand Himself by changing his

name. You too must choose a name that is easy to sell to both your fans

and critics.

3.Believe in Yourself:

There Used to be a legend that says you cannot sell in naija if you don’t

rap in Pidgin English, Mode 9 started the murder of this legend, but it

was MI that pulled the last trigger that killed this. He gave hope to

rappers like Vector, Ice Prince etc. Be persistent in what you do so long

as you are good in it.

4.Learn From Your Role Models:

MI is a self professed fan of lil Wayne, Kanye west, Jay Z, Common.. He

has been able to incorporate these A-list rappers styles with his, you

hear him faking Wayne’s voice but spitting kanye kind of rhyme pattern.

The point here is, have someone you look up to, although I don’t encourage

swagger jacking.

5.Read:

This is what makes you different from other wack Emcees. The internet

offers you a lot of materials to read from and the more vocabularies you

have, the more rhymes you create. Listening to MI’s rhymes and flow, you

will know that it takes a lot of study.

6.Use Similes and Metaphors:

MI’s verses are laced with similes and metaphors. These figures of speech

add beauty to your rap. They make good punch lines. Check out a punch

line in his track African Rapper “rappers blowing up but am the catalyst”

from safe “I’m spitting like Machiavelli, am chilly inside your belly”.

7.Practice:

Ok now you were thinking it was only footballers that need practice right?

Now you know, you need to practice, rap as often as possible.

8.Show Respect:

Have you ever been to any show MI performs? He always plays samples of

Mode 9’s cry, Rugged Man’s Ruggedy Baba, Sauce Kid’s Shokoribobo etc; He

knows these guys paved the way for rappers like him to climb to the top.

Show respect for other Emcees in the game.

9.Get A Good Record Label/Management:

MI’s success story can’t be finished without the mention of Chocolate

City, Thumps up to Audu Maikori for recognizing a Raw Talent when he sees

one. A lot of Emcees careers die prematurely due to poor management/Label,

ask Danfo Drivers, Kelly Hansom etc. so before you sign those dotted

lines, make sure you read the conditions they are offering you.

10.Pray:

I don’t need to explain anything about this all I can say is PRAY!!
