  1. wow…wow….i cant believe not-just-ok put up this crap…some r good no doubt but this clearly shows not all the songs were listened to cuz i heard way sicker enigmas..its just sad…just to sad..sha life goes on…(viva and yaylow pele, u guys deserved to be put up)

  2. Dis HOODINI GUY JUST STOLE LYRICS FROM 100 DIFFERENT rappers ….OLE OSHI……. Thief carry am go

  3. Teeklef aint exactly the man is rap was a combination well known punchlines (that's if you know a lot rap though) but no doubt he is talented , but i see a lot of people bringing more original shit to the table , it's a lil difficult for me to vote but a lot of dope stuff right here man

  4. haaha, so after all said n done, these are the no talent having clowns they put up. hoodini, IBK, rukus, and PO' were good. everything else= botherline bull shit.

  5. Quick question to NJO. Is there a reason why this isn't an open poll like every other poll on this site? a competition like this should have real time poll results to avoid conspiracy theories.

  6. Where is levelz on here…..?
    Na wa o…… that guy really killed the beat…….
    Well, its all good……

  7. Back then music was meant to be a tool/medium to change a country and this was evident through the work of Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Right now music is becoming a means to magnify the wrongs of our society and this is obvious through the revealed top 10 finalists. Alot is at stake here, i really don't know what the selection credentials are but i believe more than half of you reading this post would agree that probably 2 0r 3 deserve to make this list. Its obvious Nigerians would still never be fair in what ever we do with tribalism, injustice & mediocrity being at large even in our music industry. This list is comprised of WACK & WEAK entries and must certainly be a joke. We deserve better than this.

  8. so yaylow no even reach dis list . .and what d hell did rukus and teeklef spit?… . pryse i totally undastand, po' i really agree, but wut of the gemini guy wit d story? wut of radikal dat kjilled it wit his delivery? . . and u jokers came up wit this . .smh!!!!! so na teeklef wey dey talk, "wish wish , i , i , swish swish , high high," wey come dey top ten . .Y GUY NO TRY ABEG!!!!! i expected transparency but u guys are obvious jokers!!!!!! kpsew!!

  9. If you know what music is all about and you understand what that 16yrs old boy OPZY is saying, your Vote should go to him cos the boi is really really trying alot mehn pls let us all join hand's together and bring out the gift of God in him by Voting for him.

  10. I guess this is the story of Naija again, turning everything to politics. Some selection here deserve it but that Gray Jonz, WTF?

  11. the truth need be told, that guy jacinthe is spitting words like the whole ish is made in his mama's womb. if jacinthe didnt win then i bet the whole stuffs is nothing buh repo. big up bro

  12. Dis list is a total Crap! #gbam…Ow come guys like slim T and benzino didn't make it???…Ovie and don jazzy haf fall my hand *nuf said*

    • I don't understand how it is a Nigeria thing only. We weren't told what country the contestants come from.

    • lmao who is this dunce that is chattin crap..which lyric dd he steal?? dnt hate on the nigga he's good

  13. i am certain this enigma selection thing would win donjazzy/njok more haters than fans…so many ego has been bruised here and it will take lots to bring them back. as if i knew this was going to happen, i had opined sometime ago that it would be a herculien task to sieve out just 10 entries from a whooping 1800 entries without causing more pain and some ppl feeling justifiably cheated. and the moment a price money was attached to it, it became fiercer and brought in undue pressure on the competion of faceless rappers… things are not done like that. to restore the confidence of donjazzy/njok fans i think the modus of selection should be explained and why some of these entries made it at the expense of others which were arguably better. i dont wan t to subscribe to the sentiments of favouritism which is being echoes here but i think the initiators of this noble effort need to do more explaining than giving out price money.

    • SHUT UP ur smelling mouth jare' !!
      What are u complaining about ? U Africans like empty punchlines ! It's based on quality material & creativity. U have people singing and talking about their pens up there, and you're making nonsense noise … Infact !

      • I understand where commodore is coming from… What has he said to insult anyone?
        He just stated that the guys should state the criteria for their selction… o tan….
        U come start to fight here… na wa…..
        Anyhow, different strokes…… Carry go…

      • it would not surprise me that ur from a broken home or from one trauma infested upbringing…their fractured life make them so unneccessarily abusive even without provocation. u cannot give wht u dont have. can u? i gave an opinion laced with so much civility and u are heamorrhaging like a ruptured vessel…i'm the 'wrongest' person u can pick on. back off

        • "heamorrhaging like wetin u say" ? Oboi u dey rap too ? lol. Save us the petty assumptions and pseudo intellectual bullshit. This list was picked based pure creativity. Don Jazzy gave you guys a beat and ur all freestyling. The people who sat down & made concept records now are being attacked for not being the best. U know if the so called "people's choice" were up there, Nigerians will still complain. #FACT !!! So now, how do we please you, when someone will ALWAYS feels left out ? Be frank, on one hand you cannot entries that complete cohesive songs better than those chosen. Polls are always skewed, however, this list is acceptable.

          P.S Remember Don Jazzy is being looked @ internationally now. He can't be putting all the "talentless people's champs" our nation boasts as the next coming. Jacinthe & Po' will KILL UR FAVORITE naija rappers. #anotherfact

    • and also to add…let this not be a stumbling block but rather a stepping stone to many mcs that did not eventually make the final list. history of rap and music hv shown that pple that win musical competition dont necessary become instant success…u may not need a don jazzy competition to put u in the spotlight or in a touching distance to ur dream. all u need is a substantial degree of talent, determination, a can do spirit and the grace of God…
      i appreciate all the participants, i thoroughly enjoyed myself and i wish the shotlisted all the best. 9ja hip hop is the gainer here…

    • If this selection thing would win DonJazzy more haters….u'd be the only hater cos all u av opined here is beef-related. I guess ur ego was bruised…bt derz one thing u shd know….Not everybody can win so if u aint satisfied wit ds list….do us all a favor n STFU!!!!!

      • u would have conveyed a more sensible mssg where it not for ur uncouthness…i wonder what sort of generation of youths we are that cannot speak without insulting. in nigeria we like absolutism…any contrary opinoin is termed 'beef' or 'hating' but no society or endeavour can learn, grow and make meaningful strides without asking questions and gettin answers…don jazzy has don well, njok too, we all will be a square peg if we dont ackwoledge that. so keep ur bile in ur gall bladder

  14. vote for Po' abeg, come on !! This kid had a conversation with his pen for CHRISTS' SAKE !! Most of u are clearly not following … *sad*

    I pray to GOD that true talent wins this

  15. OPZY to gba trophy nobody should drag the 1st position with that boy cos he own it GBA!! Yoruba Rap ti gbajo ba

  16. OPZY the killer rapper, this dude is good,he is on point, every word he says has a meaning, God bless you, y'all should please vote for him.

  17. why cant we all use our freaking accent?????must u sound like where ur not from???
    be original….who says hiphop cant sound nice in ur own accent

  18. abeg all of u saying we should vote the 16yr old kid bcos hes 16 and saying he killed the beat, which beat did he kill *rme* …. errrr the whole point of the competition is to vote who we think deserves it – my top 3: TEEKLEF, RUKUS AND PRYSE!

  19. I say Po' … 1st Place
    Jacinthe …. 2nd Place
    Hoodini …. 3rd Place !! and that's just fact. Rukus deserves the honorable mention !!

  20. Okay I am a girl who isn't really into rap and this is my verdict.
    I like Hoodini's because he spoke about real important issues going on in my hometown Nigeria. it was deep and I personally like rap that makes sense
    Pryse also tried. Repping girls everywhere but my vote goes to hoodini
    goodluck everyone.

  21. Yo! Pryse & Jacinthe Stepped Up Their Game Big Time. But, It's Hoodini For Me Mehnn!!!!! Dude Hit Some Real Sh*t Right There. Damn! I Thought He Did Great. Hi5 Hoodini, You Killed It. Point Blank!!!!

  22. Wack top 10 list, even the little i listened were tighter than dese shit!!! fuck notjustok nd donjazzy

  23. Rukus, hoodini, teeklef/ibk space boi. if u disagree na 4 ur pocket. where is yaylowman btw, he killed half of this list.

  24. Gray Jon'z all the way. he has a very unique oice coupled with his lines. guyz re-listen and u'll feel him too.

  25. Its clearly a "9ja" thing cos more better people out there murdered this #ENIGMA am very dissapointed am not sure DON JAZZY really listened to thesecats himself smh

  26. Houdini ooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Lawd! Rapper toh badt!! Rapper toh terrible! This competition is a weist!

  27. The selections r gud but 4 d fact dat labzy Lawal is nt on the top 10 makes it suck real big coz peeps don't expect him not 2 b dia.He got more Dan a 1500 downloads on 4shared in less Dan 48 hours nd acknowledged by different known artists who av d opportunity 2 hear it.I love his music and everybody those.wtf z Gray jonz saying Gud job tho.Pyrse is d winner

  28. Jacinthe, Po', & Rukus will KILL UR FAVORITE naija rappers. #FACT
    If M.I did his own rendition, he will still have problems upstaging these young men. But because he is M.I – sheybe una go vote for am ?
    #MonkeySeeMonkeyDo

  29. Alot of 'punchline' rap. That punchline stuff is sooo 2007. loooool Creativity my arse. Saying that, Hoodini had content – I wanted to listen to what he had to say.

  30. Are you fucking kidding me? Levelz is not in the top 10, this is absolute bullshit….GTFOH…Obviously his flow was too much for their shallow heads, no offense to the pple selected here, but only a few truly should be on this list.

  31. asides getting paid, some rappers did this cos they saw more opportunity in this based on d hype it ll bring… buh rilly i hate to do this, don jazzy n notjustok tell me what mallam t bass is doin on this list… c'mon som rappers nw feel stupid for tryin ds out in d first place. just like air-comodore bricks said, some egos av rilly been bruised here. PS- its not hating, jst d truth… still a MOHIT fan nwayz buh this is not a best man win competition.

  32. not just ok is a fake website designed for the fakest monkey naija musicians.
    Don jazzy is a gorilla! not just ok are the chimps…
    you rappers are losers!! lmfao………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    magic…fweshmillionaires…who else…well..in every situation give thanks..u lose today to win tomorrow…hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha tho yall killed it indeed

  33. Pryse is tha hardest of all these emcees, who dat nigga Houdini talking about a city he from that he never mentioned. All them other cats, straight up WACK except Opzy repping his language. Who the fuck picked these set as the finalists?

  34. 1st vote Pryse- She got the best flow for the beat on this list.

    2nd.OpZY A talented rapper at such a tender age.

  35. Lyk seriously Ovie where Levelz and other cats that killed this shit…. Na freestyle but some ppl own na pre-written jor… Anyways Me Vote for Pryse

  36. Yo pryse baby since I dnt get dis far I think u deserve dis u sound best outta all I've seen here buh maine dat apart I heard a lot of gud stuff on dis beat hope NJO mada all completely rite choices cos some seem pretty wrng

  37. I am not sure of the criteria for selection but I feel not all of those entries were seriously scrutinized. where is Labzy Lawal? Where is illwill? where is Big T? Anyways, i understand that there can't be fairness in a competition. I personally choose PRYSE, she is a good lyricist.

  38. 1. There should be more songs on this list.
    2. If Kanye has anything to do with it, Jacinthe will take the day.
    3. everything considered, Hoodini should win. if nothing else, his song should be put promoted to challenge other Nigerian artists to use their audiences to address social issues head on. Ask the tough questions and stop waiting for Goodluck or your state governor to invite u to perform. It will probably never happen.

  39. we would like you to give us a breakdown of the lyrics he stole from '100' rappers.. lmfao.. #pathetichumanbeing

    • Donjazzy on twitter say him like Yaylow own well well, even dey play am most of the time, still e no make the list, am vexed.

  40. eerm is this competion open to only nigerians …. heard some east african murder on this beats but cant find him here ….

  41. IBK!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!! definately stood out! creativity on point, lyrics on point, delivery on point, i felt the expressive flow. qualities of greatness oozes out of you bro! plus whats more, dude had a msg and i felt i can become the best in what i do after i listened. HE DEFINATELY DESERVES THE CROWN!!!!!!

  42. IBK!!!! da SpaceShipboy!!!!! nw i knw y Don jazzy was blown away by his rendition!! he took it away from the competition and made a HIT track! dude is worthy of the crown!!! vote wisely people IBK is the way to go!

  43. listened to each one of the top 10 and i'd have to go with HOODINI .. I liked the way IBK switched it up buh i'd have to go with HOODINI cos he talked about something we can relate to in an enigmatic manner in that he ddnt say the name of the city buh we all know.. big ups to you man

  44. I still can't believe that LEVELZ is not on this list…that being said, my vote goes to Teeklef! Supporting an artist that has not just talent, but growth potential and also versatility to survive in this continuously growing Nigerian industry.

    Goodluck to all the contestants!

  45. Where is young t on this list, it seems like u guys don't know a gud rap wen you hear 1 or the whole ton is just a sham in oda words, well, gud luck to una chosen 1ns.

  46. Where is young t on this list, it seems like u guys don't know a gud rap wen you hear 1 or the whole tin is just a sham in oda words, well, gud luck to una chosen 1ns.

  47. NJO keep deleting my comments o! Your Top 10 is a JOKE. LEVELZ went in hard for 4mins! Apart from OPZY the Top 10 should have been from this list. check it out

  48. asin…the judges are blind or they just put pple that were calling don jazy or ovie or notjustok on d track

  49. Are you serious ?…where's Teesh Carter on the list ?…. Teesh version was better than Pryse even though I'm a huge fan of Pryse…

  50. Best of luck to those who made it…To Those who didnt …There's a massive opportunity….

  51. Ive heard enigmas time and again and i feel der is a very distanced landmark in judging the best….By jurisdiction this Mallam T bass guy's version rocks the most……Peace

  52. Judging from a very intuitive perspective…. other enigmas are not as contextual as that of Mallam T bass's….This artiste had a direction from the onset…Y'all go listen and enjoy…..My playlist is on repeat..lol…Mallam T bass…Nice 1

  53. Enigma by definition is a puzzle and i feel all dem rappers culdnt solve it on ds beat…bt i think i have a thing with this Mallam T bass guy…Dude is cool

  54. where is MATEO VIC……Where's Damon>>>>>Where is Supreemsauce's version>>>>>>THIS IS NOT RYT….Anyway i'm a have to go wiv RUKUS>HOODINI>TEEKLEF

  55. this thing is rigged. . . where is the classic VIC.O 'why evils'???

    Ovie!, Mola!. . . .whats going on?…..lol

  56. Aww! Where is MOVIC BALES (Lyrical ORUNMILA) and LABZYLAWAL (lyrical APAYAN) … Don jazzy check well and get back to me ASAP.

  57. oi, dis list aint the shit. were is izzy, damon, dirty a,lexis!!! donjazzy nd notjustok.com fall my hand

  58. Take your time….Listen to Wordings…. you can feel the young fela spitting out Minds and talking like he does not care….i like that passion and thats what Raps all about innit?

  59. I'm sure Don Jazzy was too busy to have listened to the 1800 entries one by one since he has been busy in his New York Studio and I'm sure the person he must have delegated to do the screening knows nothing about the rap game. What happen to Mateo V http://www.4shared.com/audio/_ISRIkfE/enigma_free… , Jerriey http://korrectnation.com/?p=13109 , Levelz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbWGu6bTwTg , CNN http://www.4shared.com/audio/T00rjS83/ENIGMA_FREE… , Discussion continues http://www.4shared.com/audio/eKo9y-LB/ENIGMA__dis… , Young Stunna http://www.4shared.com/audio/MNarLV9U/Enigma_-_Yo… , Blink http://www.4shared.com/audio/-kUzY3aY/Blink_-_DOG… , Lost in mind http://www.4shared.com/audio/ye0iX17r/Lost_my_min… , Dice Ailes http://www.4shared.com/audio/xPVTj8_3/ENIGMA_Dice… , Magic http://www.4shared.com/audio/IZ6gXX1r/Magic_-_ENI… , Enigma by Enigma http://www.4shared.com/audio/hYjOmnGi/ENIGMA_by_e , Base one http://www.4shared.com/audio/QbyUQZdW/Base_One_-E… , Damage http://www.4shared.com/audio/-T47Lr3o/Damage_Tha_

    • i don't like the list, and i don't see any big names, to my knowledge none of em has released an album.

  60. ….Words of a chronic consumer of anything Nigerian Music (insofar there are traces back to the Green-White-Green)…..

    Y'all critising should chill out. I have no clue how it all went behind doors but to work with the information available: one week notice and 1800 entries? Thats crazy! One shouldnt expect less from a nation blessed with talents. At this point, we've heard 10 selected worst entries and 10 selected best entries. You and I know that the adjudged best entries edge the worst ones by miles.

    More so, it is usually the case that very good entries dont make it and selected ones do live up to the 'hype'. My favs though are Mode 9, Opzy, Pryse and Micheal A1. Opzy and Pryse made it (WELLDONE). I'll go for Opzy.

    I know say I don talk too much but mah people on here sabi boil up temper for deeper insights on social-cultural issues and events in the Nigerian entertainment industry. Its funny that most times I end up laughing hard reading comment exchanges in various dimensions and degrees. So, go ahead and call this what you like. But if you're on my level, you'll see things similarly.

    Shout out to NotJustOk.com. More power to your elbow. Been with yah from blogging times. Keep repping and stay away from controversies as you have always 'tried' to.

    BLESS.
    Check the 'path' you know where its from 😀

  61. Y r confirmed Nigerian rappers with record deals allowed 2 participate in d competition?its unfair the competion should av bin limited 2 unsigned & upcoming rappers….let these so called confirmed rappers luk 4 anoda way 2 earn a dollar,4get bout promo

  62. Since Rukus has won the competition..I hereby give Don Jazzy a plot of land in Houston Tx,on Bissonet street..for them to build anoda Koko masion/koko studio even koko bar.GTG

  63. To be sincere all the Rappers on this list are dope…Big ups to you all. But for me the top 5 on the list are….Teeklef aint on the list cos he aint underground.

    1. Po'
    2. Rukus
    3. IBK
    4. Opzy
    5. Pryse

  64. NOT JUST OK are assholes ……… U guys did not even pick levelz .. are u guys beefing him .. You never post his videos … do you guys collect money to post these other guys ???? I hurd Levelz the guy is on point u guys are assholes u post wack shit .. and ignore those who are really talented….. I don tell u say NJO dey corrupt like Lagos Politicians ……… Dayuuummm

  65. What about these guyz
    RAP CHAPTER?
    JERRIE??
    YOUNG D???
    those guy were great on dat track, na wa o, e go beta any way… lol

  66. Gud list yo.my ish wasnt chosen but i'l b alryt.y'all shud publish d top 20 entries.lemme get a chance to c me on d internet.ya dig.nuff said.church ta don jazzy nd notjustok.SUAVE fella.

  67. and my top 5 is..
    po'
    Rukus
    jacinthe
    opzy
    pryse……Now pls u guyz shld listen to d lyrics and passion of the song., personally, i love jacinthe verse and i don't even knw the guy..thumbs up everyone

  68. Jacinthe / po' / Rukus / hoodini…..take ur pick, this guyz can spit the Game well. pls pay attention to the lyrics and not the rhymes alone pls…..this guyz r too good. props to my girl pryse but its more rhyme than insentive. and to my guy opzy…ur stage will come and then no will dispute u, but till then kip doin wat u do we love it.

  69. on d real why are deceiving ourselves?. this is supoose to be a platform for up and comling rappers. Rukus appeared on Eldee"s big boy album and teeklef has worked so many top artists from the likes of terry tha rapman. So who are we deceiving here? d only peeps i feel got it here fair and square is hoodini, po' and maybe the mallam t pass. Even IBK is a friend of muna and dat might have give him an edge in the industry, so who are we decieving in the long run??? This list is fuckin pitiful. … . .

    • Men!!! I'm not even gonna comment on the main post because yours couldn't have been more to the point sis, you sort of take the words outta my mouth so to say. I believe the nigerian music still reeks of the man know man mentality….These remixes are cool but we already know some of them….why not give the unknown faces a chance….big ups to @DonJazzy and the Notjustok.com crew for putting this up tho….One Love!

  70. RUKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!… **but guy try find name wey sexy small naa guy*** … RUKUS IS THE WINNER OOO!!

  71. First and foremost, this ain't easy. Ya'll criticising would come up with a much weaker TopTen if you were given the chance to pick. Not cos you don't know talent, 1800 in a week? …Common guys! Although from the 10, I only had the opportunity of listening to Rukus' alone. But I think they were all great… I was a little upset for Damage not being listed but hey, its not the end. Kudos @DaviDamage, you impressed me! I vote Rukus though.

  72. Something went wrong during the selection of the 10 finalist.Well na so,e do tey wey this kind thing dey.I believed in my own version of ENIGMA,may be don jazzy was in a haste and couldn't listen well…..yessur

  73. the only female on d list which is PRYSE killed it, seriously only if people will vote for the best then i c her baggin dis 1 cos she nailed it, errbady else was juss fool around smh. buth @ same time PO was gud aswell, d rap after d beat ended cracked me up big time nd finally my 3 winners r PRYSE, PO nd OPZY..guys vote 4 d best

  74. No matter wat you'all say, we know this battle is just better Mallam T Bass and OPZY. I would vote for the two, if I could…

  75. aint even gonn lie im totally disappointed. this was obviousli rigged. sum ppl tht made d list r crap. Don jazzy? maybe we overated his ear 4 music.

  76. I dont know why y'all dissin people who put their time,money and energy into bringing uniqueness to the table,when all u do is sit in front of your freaking laptops,sippin dope and screaming murder! Get into the studio and do your own.(thats what you should've done before don jazzy reviewed the 1800 songs,and maybe if you had,you'd have been 1801!!!).
    Anywho's, my pick is definitely IBK for 1st or 2nd place,worst case scenario. the dude took his time. im judging from a producer/artiste point of view. The lyrics are amiable….To think he was talking about SIN all along was amazing. Thats how to rap…take the listener on a journey,then make good sense out of it,not just spit rhymes and u think youve blown the roof. Next is his productive skill. from deep listening,it takes creativity to pull off the intro,add extra vocals to jazzy's own, and that stunt with the "i've got the power" just blew me off. IBK…..Nice one bro. Even if you no make am, u've got a new fan. SPREAD THE WORD,THERES AN ALIEN IN TOWN

  77. Wat r we sayin, ibk bein muna's frnd…..crap. Did muna hlp im rap on d beat? Yes dey ad to pick ten n am sure each one of dem dservs d numb 1 spot.

  78. pryse, opzy, Po'(is that po from SDC?) Hoodini tried but is a fan when you get off rapper dick you'll be better.

    • no, this is NOT Poe' of SDC. He's not this good … hehe !! This is Po'. Columbus based Naij rapper

  79. See people's comment ooooo, if na so e easy you for go put up $3,500 and your own beat on top am and organise competition

  80. My favorite top 4 is
    Hoodini – Enigma (Nigeria)
    Po’ – My Pen (Enigma)
    Teeklef – Enigma
    Rukus – Enigma

    DAM YOU GUYS KILL IT

  81. infact……….this top 10 guys could be charged for murder…they all killed it…simple…IMO……,OPZY looks like the real deal just that people who dont speak yoruba wont reckon with him,he sounded effortless…..more like da grin re-incarnation….as for others who already have industry exposure i wont vote for u……u know why…..mallam T bass also looks like a real deal….thats the new 9ja brand of music for all u who want to make money…….need 2 days before i cast my eventual votes between this 2….))))

  82. it appears you guys dont understand the art of Music or Rap, this list should have been gathered by numb sculls, i cant even pin point any originality in any of the contestants is this what we want to portray, to the world as rappers, you guys did not try on this contest at all i've heard better #ENIGMA versions, you guys would have not done this contest at all, i can understand notjust ok guys not understanding the basics, but "DONJAZZY" it a shame!

  83. I think Jacinthe killed it all the way! he some things i wouldn't even expect drake to say ! VOTE JACINTHE !!!!!!

  84. Y'all just shut da fuck up cos just becos they have done something with known acts doesn't make them known. Stop talking shit abeg! They're up and coming too. Are they MI or Naeto C? Beside the contest called for anyone dat cud kill d beat. If u know dem others didn't so GTFOHWTS!!

  85. Pryse all day, every day! This girl bodies everything she touches! VOTE FOR PRYSE!! She's repping the ladies so girls show her love! Let's prove a girl can do it just as well! #TeamPryse

  86. Mayorteeshay wasn't shortlisted??? Only Ruckus and Hoodini are in the same class as this dude and y'all say this is the Top Ten…i dont think so! Check out his version of Enigma and tell me am lying… http://bit.ly/o3G2YY

  87. i think the judges need to review the basis on which they selected the winners of this beat contest. this does not match the expectations of the fans of rap music in Nigeria and in diaspora. this is nothing but a complete shit. let us stop organizing competitions when we already have our winners. stop killing the passion and creativity of our youths.

  88. LOL this is a joke… what happnd to levels, splash, maeto, .. dont get me wrong some were good but naaah… this doesnt look professional..

  89. Talk about originality and not plagiarism of a western culture….This dude Mallam T bass killed…He has my props

    • Your making zero sense. Mallam T whatever's is soooooo dry and expected. Nigerian songs can't all sound the same….SWITCH UP YOUR STYLE YO!

  90. i don't reason why i should give credit 1st…y'all worth been where u are right naw! but the judge gotta do it all, big up to mot'hits and notjustok crew

  91. I don't know what all the hype about Opzy is cuz to me i think he is trying to emulate DaGrin which doesnt make his material very original. Pryse just does'nt get across to me. In my opinion, Mallam T Bass is the best as he delivered something different. My vote goes to him.

  92. You can tell that hoodini nd OPZY were freestyling…They were the best thou i'll pick HOODINI as the best OPZY was also good….nd the girl did goo too.

  93. yo…mallam sounds like everyothere artist out there, tell me something i that verse u avnt heard in at 80% of other music that sounds like that….coz if dats d case then opzy is d winner coz his use of yoruba is spendid in his rap. Now this is creativity!!!! thanks u

    • derek so opzy sound like what, u mean is yoruba where that of angels which has not been used b4 abi u try lets see how far naa

  94. i know some dope enigma entries like labzy, levelz, yaylow etc didnt come out….but this dude—>VIVA….this boy—>VIVA…i really cant shout…just open 4shared and type—>'enigma viva'….its all over n shit but PLEASE listen to this guy—>VIVA….in fact i feel so sad 4 him…notjustok, whyyyyyy? VIVA God bless ur hustle men! became a fan when i heard his KUSHTONIC! i dont know wat to say again execpt VIVA VIVA VIVA VIVA VIVA VIVA VIVA VIVA VIVA VIVA….btw some entries are really good like IBK's own>>cheers people!

  95. 1. Jacinthe
    2. Pryse
    3. Opzy , if this is based on pure lyrics and style . and not a corny song.

    Simply put.. those who are a fan of Lyrics, Wordplay, Content, Metaphors, and all the good stuff that Hip hop should consist of, the choice is Clear… Jacinthe. I even heard a little singing in there. Enigma like me, youll understand later" best opening line period, she said your "aura got me" (origami), she just understand paper.. this guy gets it, he doesnt say wack metaphors, like "i got the game in my hand i glove this no offense to teeklef, but Klef isnt a rapper, anyone can put together is simply things. Jacinthe understands words. Jacinthe is a lyricist, after that Pryse, po pen is a decent writer but in no way is impressive in presentation , his presentaion is horrible.

    Jacinthe – Perfect
    Gray Jon – Corny
    Hoodini – Unoriginal
    SpaceshipBoi – This was creative, but he already did this to another beat, should be disqualified
    Mallam T Bass – Good song but i thought this was a hip hop contest, too much autotune
    Pryse – Flows on point, lyrics are good too , worthy of this spot
    Rukus – i wouldnt remember, and was kinda corny
    Po – good writer, horrible rapper
    TeeKlef – Corny, and Drake like hook, unoriginal
    Opzy – Young and full of potential, flow is incredible .

    REALIST COMMENT

  96. ibk is it! omg! another level. the other guys gat stuff, but this dude! IBK! na son! na dis guy o!!!!! i need an album from you man. win win win. my number 1 is IBK

  97. PRYSE gel u murder dis beat u killing up it kip it up lov u wit dis beat on ur lips all u rappers ar tight like pant u ar all a winner fellow neva new wen dis drop god fuckup big tym but no shakin there is always a second chanse

  98. Listened to every enigma entry to the last detail and i found originality and respect for the mass public in MALLAM T BASS's content….this guy didnt just jump in the booth, he had it al sorted out, song has a direction…My thumbs to MALLAM T BASS

  99. U fellas shdnt be sentimental Joorrrr……Mallam T bass has the groove LOL, NIgga has balls and attitude….MALLAM T BASS all d way…MUahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  100. Did this MALLAM T BASS add some spice to this beat? The starting is jst too awesome….He unleashes listeners into a whole different ambience…MALLAM T BASS gets my tick

  101. shout out to Hoodini, Jacinthe, Po, Rukus & Teekleff, But! Crown IBK Spaceship Boi King….Mad creativity for that.

  102. Rukus did a nice job…but rap no b our thing na…T klef falls in2 same ramification but all d same nyc 1, Feelin IBK too but lets face the reality of the current nigerian music scene….Mallam T BASS brings a finetuned version of what we all can relate to.. I feel all enigma entries have done well but i feel Mallam T bass has done Best.. Peace, G RAYZ

  103. Me i dont understand what all dese rappers are saying sha… but thats my opinion Ooo, i dnt knw abt sum1 else…Every average nigerian can relate with this Mallam T bass… Tiwantiwa

  104. Judging from a very intuitive point of view…Dese rappers are nt sounding lyk original, Sumtyms we jst hav to pay homage to mother tongue and the only dude that did that is Mallam T bass….Nt really my best but he betters evry other top ten enigma shortlisted

  105. Repping all the way from the U.K….Nuff luv to Donjazzy for giving dem upcoming a chance…Shoutouts to Mallam T Bass….African Man

  106. My enigma entry is the best as far am concerned but since i wasnt shortlisted i would vouch for a man who respected the streetz in his own version, These rappers to me are just mediocre..anyone heard Labsy lawal, AQ or phenom's version…So RAP doesnt suffice.. Shoutouts to the man who respected the streets once more…Mallam T Bass …as e dey go

  107. Time and again the question of adding sum contemporary spice to Nigerian music has been in the asking….The Yardstick that made a dagrin sell far more than a Mode 9 is a typical answer to this…A theme to carry even the lamest of audiences is required in any song if the artiste anticipates it to be a hitbanger..Originality has always been sticking up.. Nd the only original dude here is T-klef and Mallam T bass…Bt still i wd giv it 2 Mallam T bass… am sure he spent longe tym in recording cos his output rily stands out…His starting and ending points were totally pitch perfect..l..Melody kiled..Harmony butchered….all round nyc song…Mallam T bass

  108. wtf? jesus christ………so of all the mind blowing entries this shit is what was put up for voting?…………….rukus? wtf is rukus doing there and yeah dat pryse gal is ok but not worthy to be on this list……..its a fluke don j a big show of stupidity

  109. ok i couldnt even vote up to three mcees…… but i no lie dat spaceship boi na killa and boy dat gra.jonz no jonnze at all..give em all the money

  110. i tink if we are to be reasonable enough ,we'l all concur to the fact that all the rappers on this list are on point bt we jst hav to choose the best three….for me i'l prefer Mallam T Bass's version as first cos he did somtin entirely different dis will not make other rappers feel cheated cos trust me rapers are naturary egoecentric if u give any one the others complain so jst giv som one who did somtin entirely diffrent………

  111. of all the enigma i listend to even before the top ten ws released i only left Mallam T Bass's,t klef's and labzylawals version on ma phone,now i'm not too surprised Mallam and Klef made it…they both killed it…bt ma people na niger we dey,u'v got to be commercial to mak it in the music industry….thats y my vote goes to Mallam T Bass…..the boy get commercial sense well..

  112. what are we voting for naaa!!!!!!!!!!!! DONJAZZY understands the business part of the music industry,he had to convert most of the rappers in his label to singers…hav u listend to Dr Sid's

    album,D'princes……abeg jooooor na only dis Mallam T Bass guy understand the koko….shey u won rap for pepper sellers or bus conductors ?…..MALLAM has my vote jare

  113. wow!!!!!! as for me 3 gbosa to all the top 10 finalist haters go hug transformer…..hnmmm my vote dou goes to the sharp guy Mallam T Bass….that guy did somtin evrybody can easily relate wit…

  114. Mallam T Bass all the way yo…..Dude is different and makes a whole lotta sense with his catchy version of the beat….the remaining 9contestants can share the extra 1k5 on top :p

  115. hiphop is not an excuse for weilding music with lack of content…Music plays down on our feelings

    and emotional directions…the rest did a good job but this aboki guy is the only one who

    harnessed that virtue the most……Mallam T Bass u have ma vote

  116. listen deeply to every art wit deal;which of them depicted the ENIGMA in their vocal,melody and harmonic delivery.buffalo nickel @ Mallam T Bass

  117. hahahahhahahaaa!!!!!!!this Mallam T Bass has confidence ooo!!u can already read his countenance that he is rest assured 2 win..nyce one dude ;i hope he wins

  118. I like rap,bt its a very rare happening 4 a rap song (without a solid commercial chorus) to become a hit banger in this country and we all know that..i and the good peeps ot RECESS inc hav com to tak stake our bets on this Mallam T Bass;we hav a deal 4 him already so he has nothing to loose even if he did nt mak the first three…

  119. Out of all the entries,that of Mallam T Bassis the likeliest 2 be a radio song;to me,thats the
    paraphernalia required so wat are we talkin ?….Mallam T Bass

  120. Most of these guys just recorded this with a firebrigade approach,u could tell they were not in a
    relaxed mindstate cos one rappers is tryn to sound beter dan the other @ the end loses originality
    and realness.Mallam T Bass jst did his tin his own way,i ws soo surprised wen i listend.Good job
    bro.difference is clear 4rm the rest abeg…u hav my vote

  121. Well for me i think almost all the rappers sound like each other;why is ther no portal of
    creativity here..The abstract tool used by Dbanj,2face,9ice 2 become heavyweights is the gismo
    of BRANDING..frankly..there is no BRAND in all these crap bt only Mallam T Bass shows promise

  122. All roads leads to certainty,i;m sure DONJAZZY might have a difficult time trashing this out but newwayz i'm happy to state categorically that ORIGINALITY,BRAND,MELODY,HARMONY,DYNAMICS;the industry points all finger to Mallam t bASS…

  123. Shout out to the ENIGMA that was lyricaly contextual,the rest seems they did a free style but
    this is a competition,no mediocrity allowed so i give hi5 to Mallam T Bass

  124. Hnmmm 9ja,the last time i checked i remember seeing some familiar names here partaking in the
    Notjustok hype.So i know those who made it on merit….GOOD=Rukus , BETTER=T Klef
    ,BEST=Mallam T Bass

  125. Shit !! TeeKlef !!!!! This n*igga is def. the future of Hip Hop. Sings, Raps, Produces and even mixes his stuff? Woah* .. There are only a few of his kind. You just got my vote nuccah !

  126. Music itself surpases ryhming bare over a beat wit no mental milieu;these rappers dont register
    @ll,i had my thot processes tampered with when i listened to Mallam T Bass's version..he is just
    too musical

  127. How can u be scrambling with lyrics on a beat that speaks for itself in volumes;flops to those
    rappers who came lame;this beat spoke too well to be ignored so props to the likes of Mallam T
    Bass for taming the beat..I'm certain he is most singers favourite

  128. Iman Fe Respect d way this mohn romp pon d whole issue;he sounds like a vocal lion,bad
    rastaman,representation of a truth bonafide voice of the streets -Mallam T Bass

  129. very close fitted similarities in a competition like this doesnt make it healthy;if u are unlucky to fall into that similarity marsh then your faith might be realy bleak;to all the peeps reading this try this -listen to all the top 10 ENIGMA songs crave the one that sounds the most different…i recommend Mallam T Bass

  130. Mehn all that crisp melody and harmony making their way out of this boy;s vocal chord..i'm sure DONJAZZY himself would be thrilled….lol…Mallam T Bass welldone

  131. Iman Fe Respect d way this mohn romp pon d whole issue;he sounds like a vocal lion,bad
    rastaman,representation of a truth bonafide voice of the streets -Mallam T Bass

  132. The best intro so far his timing made the beat look as if it ws warped tite,…..Mallam T Bass thombs up

  133. Let us always note NIGERIAN factor wen it comes to musik here;dis competition is not 4 some LEKKI or V.I kids,its the whole populace and as far as i am concernd the only version that can carry the majority along is that of Mallam T Bass..@least we knw wat he is sayin;the dude ws on PIDGIN ish….go Mallam T Bass

  134. Mallam T Bass has taken advantage of first impression , i'm jst inevitably in love with his own version cos i can sing along easily…#team Mallam T Bass

  135. well 4 me Mallam T Bass stands out not becos he is beter dan the rest bt he stands alone no othr singer to compete with,al othrs are rappers so he must be amongst the first three

  136. Una no even dey tink @ll DONJAZZY converted Dr sid same thing with D prince..so his premonition doesnt encompass poetry,he favours rythnm,melody,groove and harmony..jst sayin this 4rm a musical perspective which is same with his…Mallam T Bass killd it;he has no contention

  137. this guy so arouses my sense of humour..kinda added som spice and effizy..i hope he wins + i hope he is a fellow aboki..i giv it to Mallam T Bass..love 4rm KD

  138. I imagine the amount of hard work this Mallam T bass would hav put in 2 develop his very unique style…one in a million ish…i think Mallam T bass is the new voice of the nigerian music industry…he s kul

  139. I give the prize to creativity and this mallam T bass is an epitome of 1…this man is ThinkWORKIN, Nyc show of musicology..Mallam T bass rocks…

  140. Awesome flow…Mallam T bass kept the bars hostage all thru, wit a nice command of time…holdin d listener spellbound 4rm d strt 2 finish…no boring moment…all fingers point 2 mallam T bass

  141. On the other hand if not 4 d sake of transparency i shd hav solicited notjustok to chose a winner by merit…Mallam T bas did a very good job, No wonda pple ar talkin abt him on twitter…nyc 1 nicca

  142. As a tru rap head…ive heard rappers overtime…THOROBREDS. TRYBESMEN, STR8BUTTAH nd d oders dat make up d nigerian hiphop industry but i dnt feel these #enigma rappers measure up in any..sounds lyk evry1 ws playin around or freestyling…so rap here is a total minus…T klef nice 1 bt i think Mallam T bass meant more business

  143. Rily funny tho…the way this Mallam T bass's version stands out of d rest entries amazes me…its lyk jackie chan in a competition with michael jordan for HEIGHT…i dont think this is fair…i think Mallam T bass is far way beyond the rest's plane….he should have gotten commensorate competition…cs he murdered it…nyc 1 mallam T bass

  144. Agreed! Evryone of dese dudes killed this beat…bt i think this Mallam T bass guy ressurected the beat…check out the melody flow…y'all fellas go listen…Mallam T bass is the deal

  145. Ws checkin out d props being showered on this Mallam T bass guy until i listened 4 myself…OOOMMMGGG…he killed it 2 bad, hw i so luv dose chants nd his vocal presence…nyc 1 he is worth all d props…Mallam T bass

  146. Bt rily y shd a whole Rukus who has featured on XYZ nd Mi fliss's mixtapes, on eldee's songs nd notjustok be part of ds competition….i aint heard ds Mallam T bass guy b4 bt i think he killed it…upcoming bt on point

  147. This list is quite completely bullshit. No Levelz? No Yaylow? No mention for Blink? compared to this stuff?

  148. All #enigmas shortlisted ar rily off d chain…bt i think too many rappers jumped on this…personally i feel the prize shd go to the contemporary guy….Mallam T bass…he's got amazing talent..piss

  149. rappers surely need singers like Mallam T Bass to mak a hit;ask urself without brymo ice prince's oleku wld hv been crap,MI had 2 hire favour's professionalism…so i see only one contestant Mallam T Bass

  150. Ive heard all enigmas and i think the one that has the catchy and attractive listener atmosphere is dat of Mallam T bass…he brought a too unique style…the others ar jst trynna be what they aint

  151. hv u evr wonderd why Banky W's concentration is on Wizkid ? why not Skales ? simple =becos wizkid is comercial..so on this list the only commercial guy is Mallam T Bass….if DONJAZZY no make money from musik how he won organize dis kin platform for guys….abeg iiiiiiiiii Mallam T Bass na him Nigerians want jare..

  152. Wowwww….Regardless of this competition…Mallam T bass i feel u shd carry on wit promoting this song…Minus d #enigma factor…this is sum good ish…Rep Mallam T bass

  153. Professionalism entails subsequent practice….Mallam T bass knows his onions about the game and he is poised to become the next big thing starting with winning this competition…kip going Mallam T bass we dey ur back gidigba

  154. Mallam T bass has shown dem why a terry G still appeals mch more to the mass public, to me his version of #enigma jst says the ignorance of western music is the beginning of the wisdom of a nigerian artiste…Mallam tbass i dy feel u joor

  155. Unlike others….i mite not have a tongue for over ripe embelishments but i knw a true talent when i see 1…….Mallam TBASS

  156. I am really loving this. How I wish I could listen 2 all the top 50 entries. Crazy flows from all the artistes. But that Mallam T Bass guy no be maimai o. He murdered the beat as if he had heard it b4 Don J came up wit the idea. I wouldnt be surprised if Mallam T Bass wins. Go go Mallam!!

  157. Mallam T Bass' drop is really superb 4 d Nigezie folk. He murdad d beat lyk he had heard it b4 Don J came up wit d idea. Go go Mallam!!

  165. Well…the enigma beat itself is crazy so artistes had no excuse 2 come short on this….but with d current spate of the nigerian music industry, as a record label C.E.O if i was asked who to sign out of the ten shortlisted…it'd be Mallam tbass…he has the flame burnin inside him nd he takes music down to the grassroots…d dude wil be a commercial hit…i vouch for him…y'all shd vote him Mallam tbass….reppin SARKO RECORDS

  166. Don Jazzy has got himself a cocktail of very talented artistes to choose from…nd sumtin tells me he would apart from selecting Mallam T bass as the winner also sign him in2 Mohits…cos this Mallam T Bass guy shares a vocal bearing with don jazzz…he is jst 2 selfocentric

  167. Thumbs up to all the shortlisted 10…they all did rily well….i feel these #enigmas are jst an exhibition of raw talent while Mallam T bass's version is an exhibition of refined talent…frankly…he rily did well

  168. Mallam Tbass has shown them why a terry g stil appeals much to the mass public than any rapper…i feel his #enigma jst says that the ignorance of western music is the beginning of wisdom of a nigerian artiste…Mallam tbass i dy feel u joor

  199. eje ki a fowosowopo kia gbe nkan titiwa laruge…Mallam T Bass is the issh..he even represents wit his name..his style is jst too unique

  200. Pryse is the truth on this beat. Clear, precise and straight to the point. Her flow was the work of a true MC. After her I thought Jacinthe was pretty expressive and original while Opzy brought something different to the table; like the speed of DaGrin's freestyles crossed with the sound of Olamide. One entry on this list for me is a finalist simply because of the commercial appeal of his sound as the music business is a business.

  201. lets vote for originality, our own , enough of typical 9ja arts tryna form yankee..learn from 9ice ,dbanj ,2face ,timaya….abeg giv the tin to Mallam T Bass jare

  215. Hmmm, I see some people are hating on Mallam T-bass. hmmm not right. Well Thumb up to all of them above from Grey jon'z to Tee klef. You guys really killed the beat. But this is a competition he. Well My first vote is for Mallam T Bass(Originality is always the best), IBK spaceship boi(His soundmix is on point but sound a lil bit like B.O.B). Teeklef i see you too bro.

  216. i voted OPZY. he's original. he's got local content which sells these days and his delivery was on point. the others sound too yankee for dis competition abeg. lol

  217. Hoodini was the best for sure and rukus was next to hoody at his game mallam t bass was pathetic.Razz people dat go to cyber cafe to use internet in lag will vote opzy people that love rnb will vote ibk….slackers will vote the rest.

    P.s: I am sorry if I offended any of you but in the music industry you must spare no ones feeling so to all the wack rappers and people with wack taste of music out there all you got is 8 bars….edon expire ehnn….hoody be the one

  218. Mallam TBASS …… i had ur ENIGMA ,and i fell in love with u….tnks 4 makin me happy……Mallam Tbass

  219. i listened to the ENIGMA and MALLAM TBASS was so so unique in d game ,,not like he is d best buh he is unique amongst all …cos am tired of hearin same thin …MALLAM TBASS…tnks 4 ur uniqueness

  220. good music is what everybody wanna listen to, not some rap thing ,cos lot dont get what dem sayin especially wen dem talkin about d punch line….Mallam TBass brought out d true defination of niger music…..MALLAM TBASS ………u too much

  221. Thanks Bro.. His version was so average, less than OK. Pretty substandard, wondered how he got on top 10. Houdini was spitting real talk, major talk, no gimmicks!

  222. hahahahahahahahahah how many rappers dey house way don jazzy pick 1 unique guy outta all ..don jazzy knows and see uniqueness in him …any way na wetin don papa j says buh i think i like him sha…..MALLAM TBASS

  223. This poll is not fair. We should only be allowed to vote once. I've refreshed my page 5 times and voted again without any restrictions. Please this voting has already been compromised. What's stopping anyone from refreshing and voting for themselves over and over again?

    • If you like vote, refresh, then re-vote 100 times, only your 1st vote gets registered. All others are… well… "finger exercise". Nothing is compromised.

      *O.O*

  224. wtf!!! i heard enigma raps that are better than these ten here!! una no do well, oloun! those guys aint the best for sure.. Nigeria can do better than that. nobody here can be compared to any top rapper in Nigeria. This should be reviewed!! seriously!! NJO, this top ten of urs aint the top ten out of the eighteen hundred entries…

  225. truth be told its between Rukus and Hoodini…all the razz/local people will say they are forming,thats the same way they said dbanj was forming when he did mr endowed…and im pretty sure its the same dickhead that has been shouting about mallam t bass using different names..this beat was made for real rap and thats what hoodini and rukus produced

  226. Lyrics don't have to be watery before we can take it in… His lines are 'thick', yet easy to relate to. That's where originality comes into play. As a rapper, i don't respect u much if ur punchline is just one of those that peeps conjure and play around with on twitter. I listened to him, listened to the others, then to him again… trust me, those lines were 'strange'! that's what makes a listener sigh when a rapper is spitting! that's what made me vote for him. Rukus.

  227. Hoodini and Rukus killed it…anyone that says their forming is just razz/local…thats the same way they said dbanj was forming when he dropped mr endowed…this is real rap

  228. Is this selection system based on those who submitted early cause i don't get – Isn't this supposed to be rap? sure there are some sick rappers -Jacinthe, Rukus on this, but… d best i've heard ain't selected -Hench n dat's fact.

  229. IF YOU DON'T VOTE PO'. CONSIDER YOURSELF A FAKE FAN OF REAL HIPHOP. DUDES BEEN RAPPING SINCE THE A DAY AND WILL CHOP ANY NAIJA MC OUT THERE.. ANY!

    • Hoodini is Hip Hop..taking about the whole naija south south iss with rap. this real rap and true story… doing it for the green white green.. thats wats up man. thats all i have to say

  230. u guys dont seriously think that all d good enigma songs wud av bin picked by d judges *side eye* 1800 entries no be beans……..what is d criteria for d selection? I heard alot of versions dat had directions and ral talk but i guess real talk and consciousness is worthless and out of place in naija. i go vex do beat name am 'Exima' watch out on seriouslyalright.ng. out……..meanwhile not by force but listen if u may http://bit.ly/qYryai

  231. Just listened 2 ENIGMA top10… not lik I'm biff-in anyone but lik 8 of them rap nonsense. Too many indecent words. Big shout out 2 Pryse & Jacinthe…
    1st prize to PRYSE.
    …but Koncrit still rocks. I'm d BEST!!!!

  232. well, the first time i rukus i knew he was a contender. bt most of dis guys didnt really do justice to the beat. there's this girl tayel who should be on dis list. way better than hoodini, PO and the rest and if she aint on d list then, RUKUS, U R MY WINNER. got ur enigma on my laptop and i play it everyday.

  233. fuck it …my vote goes to spaceship boi….its not just how deep ones rap goes but "CREATIVITY" plays a major factor n compared to everybody that boi has got it !!!

  234. this post is bullshit… i have heard better rappers on this Enigma shit, most of these top ten guys are weak… next time don jazzy instead of using notjustok ppl…. look or people that got a good ear for music, not ppl who arent qualified. i hear a couple nice ones and non of em made the list.

  235. To me this guy called "Mallam T Bass" killed the beat die i no go lie…..Bcos i like people who always deferent in their style, he also try to be distinct & unique….his lyrics & the message his trying to pass make him deferent…..Simplicity Originality

    more of that……Mallam T Bass

  236. eyin boiz .. I still feel like sey Po' take am. I mean maybe cuz I know him I'm bias, but the goi dey rap sha !! @KidNamedPo i salute you !!

  237. this isn't exaggeration "MALLAM T BASS" is the main virus we are looking 4…..wen i say virus, mean someone who can penetrate anywhere in terms of music…..i think i will vote 4 him

  238. I AM FORTUNATE TO BE IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS AND I KNOW ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE THE BEST,FOR ME I WILL GO WITH SPACEBOI,MALAM T AND PRYSE,THEY DID JUSTICE TO THIS BEAT. KPAKAM!

  239. So have 18,000 different IPs voted at this time, or is that 18,000 that shows still counting multiple votes while the numbers you see are much lower?

  240. Hoodini and rukus killed it… but i have to pick hoodini cos of the content of his rap… his shit reminds me of mos def, talib kwali, nas, rakim, lupe, the boy is hot.. big up to rukus too. and the rest of the finalist. it aint hard to know those who know real hip hop.. No ideal is original.. hip hop started in yankee. just do what you do best. and thats hoodini.

  241. Of all the songs heard so far, i believe "The IBK Spaceship Boi – (I Have A Dream)" is the best as regards the following attributes:
    Delivery
    Lyrical content
    Innovation
    Timeliness in sync with the original instrumental by @DONJAZZY
    Vocals
    Production tidbits.
    Proper balance of aforementioned attributes.

    "Jacinthe – E.N.I.G.M.A" goes next for me, though very good, yet lacks some puny African/Nigerian touch that could make such hit in Nigeria and Africa at large.

    The last could be;
    "OPZY" very good potential but would have to be refined structurally to make banging hits (has a good command of his linguo)

    or

    "Pryse".

    Wish you guys the best.

  242. U have an ear for good music and u know what to listen for (not to) in a song. I bet 98% of these boiz on here did not get 90% of the metaphors. That "Aura got me" ish was clever. But ur list was 98% right, here is the correct list:
    1. Jacinthe
    2. Opzy
    3. Pryse
    That boy Jacinthe said "the game is full of squares, that's why y'all need me 'round." He said "the ladies need Calcium, they're poppin off da mouth until we in-vite-them-in (calcium/vitamin)."
    Opzy is original, he reminds me of the old Lord of Ajasa, back when I was still in 9ja.

  243. It does matter how many comments about whoever is written here. Hoodini is taking home the Mulla. Shikena!

  244. I'm givin this to Rukus. Next is Hoodini buh he got too emotional, then IBK . Buh d bst Enigma I hrd was made by DJ Slim. Only Rukus comes close to d guy. this list get as e be. Na Only 3 deserve dia spots

  245. omo just noticed dat everyone giving positions all gave hoodini something. 1st, 2nd or 3rd
    he has to win this
    no bullshitting

  246. every one is saying something about hoodini
    hating him or loving him
    his good like it or not
    even if he dose not win he has hope in music
    good stuff man

  247. toast to the winner!!!! IBK!!!! I felt so inspired after I listened to you music sir. guys!!! forget joke or hype, this is what it is, vote IBK!!! listen to his version

  248. dis hoodini guy is d fakest piece of shit in nigeria, guy u steal, ur weak, ur going off beat, ur boring, and wat d fuck are u talking about, watz ur business with nigeria's government guy u came here 4 d money so why are u talkin shit, guy do better next time.i don't think u can ever get my vote, thief (ANINI), (i wanna shoutouts 2 donjazzy) hoodini did u ever go 2 school fuckin illiterate

    • OMG Hoodini has Haters… Thats when you know you are doing something right! He doesnt need your stinking vote you sad broke fatass. #TeamHoodini

  249. She give and i recieve, now she understands favors"
    Devil in a DRESS, met her in a BLAZER, CONVERSE with the LORD, we all understand TAYLORED"
    Possibly the best line ever in a song EVER
    'Plus i love gettin head, im a product of the Clinton Era"
    i wouldnt even call that a punchline, its beyond that

    Calcium/Poppin off at the Mouth/Vitamin

    JACINTHE JACINTHE JACINTHE !!

  250. dude!!!! OPZY is pretty badass… I barely understood what he was saying, but that shawty gave me goosebumps. Damn! I wanna learn Yoruba lol… Anyhow, Nigeria has some hot talents! They taken OVER!!

  251. I didn't see 'JusBeeinHonest' in the Top 10, but maybe next year there may be an opening for another American Idol judge. Quit being a hater and trying to shit on somebody's dream. And are you from Nigeria? and if so Please stop sending me all thoses fake ass E-mails?

  252. hi guys,i love to vote for my lovely guy and a very lovely friend opzy cos he is so brilliant and cool,so soft hearted musicican,i love him to be a superstar.

  253. opzy is a musical instrument that loves to come up on beats and stars with a georgeous beat,he cooks the beat and we dance to it.

  254. PLEASE DISABLE COMMENT PLEASE.

    Gray Jon’z (GOOD WORD PLAY)
    IBK Spaceship Boi (DESPITE THE SHIT CAME FROM IS SINGLES BUT AM INSPIRED)
    OPZY ( SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY NUMBER BUT NO ATTITUDE. )

  255. Everyone please just shout out to your best enigma artist and acknowledge the rest for their hardwork. No point being envious of anyone or trying to bring them down. Sorry you weren't picked but don't hate on the people that were. Jealousy is not the way forward. That being said goodluck to everyone of the finalist.

  256. ok werz levelz, where's TC,where's yaylow dis list nawa o! anyways hooodini shud win it that top 50 better hv tc nd levelz o!

  257. in 1 way or the other this IBK guy has been around…ive been seeing him in website adverts and widgets…same with rukus and some others…Thumbs up to MALLAM T BASS for the best delivery out of all

  258. Lets look at this from a producer perspective…talk about underground harmonies that has been a bone of contention for many lack lustre acts..Mallam T bass did more than i could even phattom ….mallam T bass gets my tick

  259. Nyc 1 by Mallam T bass….Big ups, Bt still not ruling out other entries as null… I think I B K has been around though but all the same Holla @ all top ten finalists, u guys rily rock.

  260. just voted and came on here to see the comments thread… I feel anyone who has no proper rooting in music is a novice to comment here…talk about a sole respect for sweet notes…I give it to Mallam t Bass

  261. For 1ce am opportuned to listen to real gud music..This enigma beat competition was really a platform for real brain pans to wax creative…Best of rap here and not the junk trash the radio indulges us with….shout outs to mallam tbas… best outta the rest

  262. If the recent age bracket of upcoming succesful acts is what is making guys like opsy be claiming 16 years then the music industry is no longer integrity healthy….I aint denouncing opsy bt he is 16 years OOOLLD!!!…dts like my mom being a virgin, I voted for mallam t bass cos he did much more justice to beat than the rest….Lets despise employing a false tongue here,This is not U20 world cup nw

  263. I should have given my vote to a rapper but with all d Lyrical cannons mehn i dont think i can give a fair judgement, i think i will settle for the mallam t pass…He killed it 2 tho not rap oriented

  264. In a situation like this…choice of the winner is always dicey..bt still u have to respect originality…very good one by mallamtbass…..very tight and promising act

  265. Holla @ Efriss, tho ure not here but ur dedication is….Enuff enigmas that should have made this list but its a pity the tite ones were ignored, mallam tbass u rock…Go dey make it!!!! lol

  266. All ten nominees had delivery on point, Best selection ive seen.. enuff props to mallam tbas for lyrical devotion

  267. whats up with this hoodini na, na talk we won hear, I wonder how donjazzy had patience to listen all ds pre track stunts.. Rily funny tho, Love mallam t bass, his version had an innate direction

  268. lets pinpoint a man who will be a toast to record labels as soon as the winner is announced….nd what else the winner is gon be mallam t bass for sure, Creativity meets dextrity in his version….Rily good one from the dude…Rep mallam tbas

  269. fantastic…music in nigeria has transcended all limitations, Now we can even compete with the foreign scene, mallam tbas updated the status quo, he was a real bad guy on the song

  270. Ive not seen this mallam tbass bt i presume he must really be a fine boy…. i absolutely love him for being real….Mallam T boi all d wayyyyyy…

  271. I cant even vote for a rapper cos none of them even better any of the deep down underground acts here in the U.S….Bt ive heard samples of fela's music…and i know what nigerian music is all about, more contemporarylike. I vote for mallam tbass

  272. Its easy to defend mallam tbass's version on the intllectual level, this is jst too point, i thought this competition was for upcoming artistes but he doesnt even sound like one…he is jst too zesty, na mallam tbass OOoooo….KZEEK say so

  273. Mallam Tbass's version is like a meal served on a hot dish…..rily mind fulfiling…and emotions thrilling…..Mallam Tbas ure da bomb

  274. mallam t bass ddnt even rili use da beat he went 4 da cliche commercial approach and he was just a Don jazzy suck up

  275. For too long NIGERIANS have continued to do things out of sentiments, we should critically listen to the songs and vote for the best!

    HOODINI did it best!

    HOODINI for the mula!!

    #teamHOODINI !!!

  276. I would like to have whatever it is that you smoked. Hoodini's freestyle's the most unique here and his delivery is perfect. Last time i checked he's in the states and he attended adesoye college so that means you're the illiterate

  277. I'm up for PO' and Pryse… And by the way, how did MallamTBase get into the top 10? I feel there must have been some politiking involved, cos I heard some really tight rappers… I mean, you had over 1800 enteries and these(besides PO' and Pryse) are your top ten? These are all you could put up? It's pretty ridiculous, and trust me, it's obvious to all there's something fishy about it all… Ko da o, ko fair at all… Apparently, you discarded merit.

  278. Question: Who you gonna call when you just got robbed and the police aint doing their job and the government is a snob?

  279. Dis guy fuck u. fuck ur dreams, fuck ur opinions, fuck ur thoughts. aint nobody give a damn bout ur stupid vote. u cant write anything near Hoodini's lines so take all this shit ur thinkin n shove em' right back up ur ass where u pulled 'em out from.

  280. most of dem rappers are fake, i am only feeling IBK and not that he has my vote….I vote mallam T bass…thanks for mudering the beat from the abstract…Mallamtbass noni

  281. Judging by don jazzy's preferences i think Mallam t bass fills in the void.. i like the guy cos he is really musical

  282. Repping all the way from konsarge Mix…Mallam T bass gets our vote….ur an artiste aevery would like to work with..Nuff love from the team

  283. Funny how this fellas aree just commenting out of sentiment.. yu all should pay homage to real nigerian music..Mallam T bass has the realest ish… Listen and learn

  284. I think mallam t bass is a real ladies man, am just drooling over his voice now, he is jsy too fantastic

  285. Honestly with no gain saying am rily loving mallam t bass…. Dude kind of has charted a new direction for nigerian music industry, e'rybady go listen…he is best

  286. U bitch ass Nigga….Hoodini is one of the best freestylers on the list….u can tell he was free styler nd didnt prepare ani thing..i dont know y u hating…smh…maybe cos u can never have his accent…u stupid thou…#teamhoodini

  287. i had vote this from the energy level perspective….Talk about somebody decterous on the microphine and yet he was making os much answer…mallam T bass version has all what it takes to the enigma beat competition winner

  288. lets try to educate upcoming acts to hav a respect for their roots when they venturing into music, this is really necessary, most of these upcoming acts are just beingg copy cats and thats why they stay long undrground, My vote should have gone to opsy but i was pissed by his nursery rhymes…i go instead for mallam t bass

  289. you all complementing this rappers…welldone but why is it that when they drop albums you dont get to buy them, and why is it that the likes of Mallam T bass get to sell more in this nigerian music industry…this is what we want and have always wanted…mallam T bass

  290. Mallam t bass just has the bug, He is uniquely talented and awesome.. He has a starting point and he surely knows where he is going….Yinka say so..Mallam Tbass ishana

  291. Any body here everr heard of Mavado. the man with extremely strong vocals…Dts how i qualify mallam T bass, looking forward to solely meeting this man…Mallam T bass dunno if u seeing this but u rock

  292. hiphop in the country has become so jampacked that even my junior friend of 13 can rap, anybody can rap and i can defend that statement anywhere…….I.B.K did a good 1 but i would have given him my vote if Mallam t bass was absent.. so originality and creativity is what i seek in mallam tbass's version… peasce

  293. On the wheeels of steel shey na rap i go come dey play wey go dey dull everybody, abeg na mallam tbass dey the music jo, make una no vote wisely but RIGHTLY

  294. why would you comment on something u hardly know something about, Wher the music veterans @, mallam tbass just announced the funeral of enigma, funeral would be on sunday…what an obitiuary…mallam tbass killed it

  295. yaylow is the first person i looked for on dis list,even though i haven't listened to the ones they put up..well let me hear wat they got..

  296. Are you guys kiddin me!? Well, i had to look it up again… right here the competition rules don't say hiphop but don jazzy said it was a hiphop competition when he tweeted bout it… And if it's a hiphop competition then mallam t bass shouldn't even be on this list at all!!! For me, i'm a real hiphop head and as such, rukus gets my vote!

  297. I like rukus.. my vote..9
    Hoodini..8.5
    mallam t bass…8.3
    teeklef..8.2.. did it earlier..
    po' …8
    pryse…8
    opzy..7.5
    jacinthe..6.5
    ibk ..6
    gray jon'z..6

  298. Ok I voted, I'm not gunna lie it was a tough choice! I appreciate the fact that the top 10 was diverse in musical styles..definitely made choosing much harder. But anyways, good luck to all the entrants with their careers!

  299. charles i guess u a bloody fool…u don't know shit about dis guy mahn,he attended one of d best sec schools in naija nd currently skooling in the USA…i bet u aren't got no educational background at alll…go back home and listen to d song again…….bloody fool…..

  300. this isEBUKA is d craziest,funniest,brokest bieng on dis freestyle.i cant just die of laughter.u guys hav 2 listen2 dis guy.

  301. i rili can't understand why this mallam t bass guy is here. his version makes my ear ache. rukus and hoodini truly deserve to be in the top 10, that's what this competition is about. i also liked pryse too, she rili went in. i also heard better enigma versions that didn't make it here, i wonder why..

  302. People who respect music for what it truly is would not be sentimental in voting, Truth , Originality, Creativity and direction…He is a masterpiece of his own…Lyrical monalisa..mallam Tbass has this one

  303. Chaaiii..See melody, mallam T bass killed it, This guy is our david guetta, bad sharp guy do commercial but he had it over on point, Nyc 1 jare broda…naija lawa

  304. I don't know what all the hype about Opzy is cuz to me i think he is trying to emulate DaGrin which doesnt make his material very original. Pryse just does'nt get across to me. In my opinion

  305. Just a thought.-we are Nigerians not Americans so be original.. my list would be

    1. Gray Jon’z – Enigma
    2. Mallam T Bass – Enigma
    3. Hoodini – Enigma (Nigeria)
    4. Po’ – My Pen (Enigma)

  306. This is verdict based on "flow", "originality", "punchlines", and "naija flava". I must confess, it was really close and took me a week to decipher the rankings.

    1. Jacinthe 9.8
    2. IBK 9.7
    3. Pryse 9.6
    4. PO 9.5
    5. Opzy 9.0
    6. Rukus 8.9
    7. Hoodini 8.8
    8. Teeklef 8.7

  307. it's a freestyle contest not a music ompetition. the rap should be spontaneous- delivery and punchlines are the look out for judges because the beat has been produced by the capable don jazzy. we need people with good ear for music/rap to actually judge/vote in competitions like this. you dont select a winner in a freestyle contest because he touched up 'the beat'. all the supposed 'freestyle" were good, but if you wanna get my take, i will say no one did it as good as Pryse. she killed it. she was free with it. she had the ease and the words kept coming.she is a natural and a huge prospect for the future.I had goose bumps listening to her, she almost blew my sockets. nice one Pryse! you made my day .

  308. @charles, guy u wit hoodini get deef? cos e b like say u no get wrk, wen him dey do him freestyle wer u dey ashole, stop hatin and go do u, u piece of shit……
