This is the most CLEVER and classy ass diss I’ve ever heard. That part, talking to his children, DAAAAMMMNN!!!!! I need to listen to this man now

'You waited for my reply, so lemme CC you' - CC is Chocolate City, M.I's record label, so besides the CC (email) meaning, it also means he wants to sign him to CC and help his life. Then the part where he says 'you're not top 5 in yorubaland,......* lists out the top five* see the queue.' - It's a nice play on words because he said 'see the queue' which obviously refers to the long queue of rappers in front of Vector but also makes reference to 'CDQ' who is another Lagos rapper.

As a Nigerian, I am so happy you guys did this reaction. M.I has been doing a lot in the Nigerian/African music scene. He is highly respected.

Vector ft. M.I Abaga - Crown of Clay 🔥🔥🔥

🇿🇦 SA in the building, Maaad respect for M.I ,def one of the illest OGs in Africa

As a Nigerian that's been watching for years, this makes me so happy seeing this. Y'all put me on Stogie T, mick Jenkins, ProVerb, nick grant and its so nice to see you putting light on where im from. Thanks for shedding light on the continent and country! Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬 The "dobale chale" is a bar based on nigerian culture dobale is yoruba for prostrating which is how we show respect to adults in our culture. M.I is kind of short so it's basically a double entendre telling vector no matter how tall/big you get in this industry, im still bigger than you and you will show respect to your betters.

"Because my son is taller, doesn't mean he won't bow to me"

"Teeto and Boogey were disrespected". Being a fan of your channel for years and seeing y'all react to a song my name was mentioned in is cool as hell, I can't lie. Welcome to Nigerian hip hop. Down the rabbit hole, you must go.

I can't believe M.I finally got in this channel.. I'm Blown away,

Man this means alotttttt.... Nigeria 🇳🇬 🔥

M.I Diss Vector M.I Schooled Vector M.I Adviced Vector M.I Showed Vector Compassion, All On This One Track. Respect Bro.

M.I a LEGEND! Trust me, he's certified! SA rapper's know it's all love and respect when M.I name come up💯

Who is here in 2024 after Kendrid pulled the M.I on drake talking to Adonis in meet the grahams?haha

This whole song was perfectly crafted, clean and heavy handed🙌🏾

As a Nigerian, this feels my heart

"Let me CC you..." in the song was a metaphor. It meant was you said but also a play on words. M.I.'s record label is called Chocolate City or CC for short. So, when he said "let me CC you..." he also meant let me bring you to my label CC

Yo I’m a Nigerian listening to you guys for a couple of years now, I’m so happy you guys a reacting to a Nigerian rapper. M.I was the perfect start...and yeah it’s actually a diss track

He named rappers better than him from his coast following the he ain't even top five setup earlier. And CDQ being the last name Is also a rapper which doubles as an entendre for "see the queue". He really sonned Lanre though. Lmao.

Vector's response was underwhelming. I think this diss track from MI is arguably the best I have heard out of Africa

Thank you. Thanks a million. MI has been my favourite hip hop artiste for the past 10 years and I'm glad he's getting known on the international scene. He's got a lot (I mean A LOT) of good stuff you should check out. Now, let me help a bit with this one... First, Abaga... the first pronunciation 0:41 was spot on. 3:50 Thanks for the throwback! 😂 4:50 This was part of a "mini" beef between MI and another Nigerian rap artist (Vector aka Lanre). This track practically ended the beef though. 6:27 "You should look up to me like your pale; I'm happy my son is taller; Doesn't mean you won't dobale, chale" - Pale is slang for dad. Goes with the next line about Vector being his son. - MI is a bit short. Okay he's short. The first track on his first album (2008) was titled "Short Black Boy." - "Dobale" is Yoruba (Nigerian language) for "prostrate." It's a form of greeting or a gesture of respect to a superior in Yoruba land. Basically how you're meant to greet your parents. - "Charle" is a Ghanaian slang for pal or buddy. So that line basically means, I'm glad you're growing up but you'll still have to show respect to your elders. 7:11 This was a perfect summary of this track's theme 8:25 "You can never battle Jude, your default setting is LOSE" At least that's what I heard 😂 10:10 I'll just say MI is a more accomplished entertainer in Africa. You should check out "You Rappers Should Fix Up Your Life" 13:20 I'm just sitting here grinning like a dummy. Simply love the fact that you guys get it! 😂 19:43 The beef ended and they collaborated on a number of tracks where MI does let Vector shine. Check out "Crown of Clay"

His real name is jude that's where the juda came out. React to m.i abaga -everything

I liked this one a lot. I have to go check this guy's catalog out.

Trust me, the viper was baptized after this, he saved him. MI is arguably the greatest african rapper ever

Dobale means to lie on the floor to greet elders which is standard in the yoruba culture. Yes there was a diss before and this is a response, we can give you guys the entire background story if you want during a call.

M. I abaga is the greatest rapper alive in the continents of Africa

Real talk..Only you two will be able to do the new Cole album justice in regards to reacting to it and breaking it down. No one else even comes close.. fingers crossed yall will bless us with that

Trust me you won't regret looking into MI. Africa's greatest hip hop being

Shout out From South Africa. African Legend this man!!!

Dobale means to Prostrate to someone of higher rank than you. It is a sign of respect to someone you hold of high esteem.

Whatever MI Abaga said on this song were facts. AQ, another dope rapper from Nigeria was with Vector for years and just recently, he switched camp to MI's and just last year, he won the best rap album of the country with God's Engineering (you should check it out). M has always had people deep in Vector's camp, evidence being that in one of Vector's diss to him before this reply, M had the whole song and posted it on his page even before Vector released it. The sit in different cabin bar really happened 😂😂😂, they were traveling to the Nation's capital and they happened to be on the same flight, Vector with his goons flew economy while M was in business. The daddy bar made much sense cos Vector just welcomed a baby boy at the time, so everything just clicked. Vector has never put anyone on, M on the other hand has been a part of lots of artiste's progress in the country and Africa as a whole, from his brother Jesse Jagz (a dope MC) to Ice Prince (who won a BET award) to lots of collaborations on his projects (Illegal Music 1,2,3, Yxng Dxnzxl, MI2, Rendezvous, The Chairman, The Live Report, Judah, Talk About It), he even rapped about it in one of his songs, " I've schooled about 10 rappers from each of the 36 states (they're 36 states in Nigeria), that's a circle of rappers........." Everything he spat on this song are facts, he extended that hand of fellowship finally to Vector (watch The Conversation with Hennessy) and they made Crown of Clay, a dope track too. That being said, MI Abaga (the first pronunciation was/is correct) is the African Rap God, the Goat of the African Rap scene.

MI was the former CEO of Chocolate City, but he got his own label now called, "Incredible Music" You may also wish to check his songs, I promise you, you will appreciate his Rap Perspectives. Songs like King James, Everything, Fix up your Lives, Monster Verse etc

M.i has 6 studio albums ....... And they are fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is sonning someone to a new level

M.I got this unique approach that educates, advice, motivates and make you love rap, he is a great talent to Africa. Check out Martell Cypher by MI

In Nigeria, especially common in the west, when a young person meets an older person or a person considered to be of high status or authority, the younger person lies on the floor to signify utmost respect. (This culture is almost obsolete now, only when there's a traditional occasion like a marriage). This type of greeting in yoruba language is called "dorbale". This beef is between Vector who calls himself the viper and MI abaga who calls himself Judah. Vector is taller than MI and in his last diss to MI, he made a bar that said, "I'm sure that thinking is far from you, because it's top of the shelf" which was not dissing MI's height as he is quite short. So MI replies by saying, "I'm happy my son is taller, but that doesn't mean he won't dorbale"

He’s the biggest deal and a living hip hop legend periodt!

That was a cool track man. And besides the message and the attitude you guys mentioned, which were definitely the highlight, he also just sounds good, his music sounds cool, it's a pleasure to listen to

He said,I’m not equal with you, because you’re taller than me doesn’t mean you won’t go down on your knees. You should look up to me like your dad

As a Nigerian, I'm so happy for this reaction..been a subscriber since 2018. MI has so so many songs.

Papa talking to you instead of giving lashes .😂😂😂😂😂

By any ways M.I is OG respect ✊🏾🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Love it when you guys dig into the lyrics! To quote George from Master of Puppets.. "now I understand!"

Having you guys analyse the song is beautiful. I am subscribing for sure. MI is a rap God and yes, everything he said is real.. Mi responded without screaming, just as a father talks to his son.

The beef is all settled now. MI and Vector have a song together titled 'Crown of clay'. You should do a review on that. Its an amazing song

And they actually dropp the beef and finally gave us a song together after so long, Crowns of Clay by MI and Vector

Wow! I love this. Many thanks for beaming light on Nigerian Rap. Big fan of your reactions

Gotta say you guys are the freaking best reactors when in yo element. Damn, been watching for ayear and it never fades.

M.I Abaga just keeps giving hot vibe since day one. You guys should look him up from first album . His the best in Africa..

Glad I watched this video, went to go check out his Apple Music and found a good amount of songs I liked!

You picked up on the concept of father and son real quick, he is shooting at another artist Vector The Viper hence the title Viper. But to further the son concept he calls him by his government name Lanre

This is the best reaction video ever. You guys actually REACTED to this diss song and I am freaking impressed. 👌🏽 Yalls verse by verse break down is sick.

I'm soo happy for MI right now!!

M. I is one of the greatest to ever do it... You should react to more of his songs.... Can you guys also react to Joey Fatts & A-Reece - Where you at and most of other A-Reece stuff, you definitely won't be disappointed

This is like your dad talking to you and telling you how disappointed he is in you. Devastating. Wow! Thanks guys!

This dude's got mad skill!! He killed this!! His metaphors and wordplay was A1, killed it!! Gotta check out some of his stuff!

When M.I. also listed those top five from Yoruba land, he played on words there too. Mode, El Dee, Badoo (Olamide. Check him out too), Dagrin, Remi, "omo see the queue". The quoted part is in reference to another rapper named CDQ

Nice video. Please react to "Everything" by M.I Abaga next. Thanks

This is by far the best reaction on KZfaq.

Let's go!💪🏾 Mr incredible is in the house! 🗣

This was a really nice and detailed reaction guys. MI is an OG one of the best rappers in Africa and his also very well respected. you guys show do another reaction of MI's #MonstarChallange freestyle. It's Fire

The line “Dobale Chale” literally means “he’d (vector) have to prostrate”

M.I did help him, he finally did a feature with him.

Nice to watch this reaction as a Nigerian... I bet if you follow the whole scene that surrounded the song, you will fall into a rabbit hole that you will gladly explore.

Damn! Been a fan of the channel for a while now, and I've never seen any Nigerian rapper get some love here. As a Nigerian fan, I appreciate! I couldn't have clicked on this any faster.

You know we want that Cole!

Great reaction, we appreciate your reactions to African Hip Hop. Peace.

M.i sound here is legendary! Ain't surprised he dominated this space.....naija's got rappers!

oh my dayssssss...as a Nigerian this feels good!!!!! react to his brother JesseJagz too, he's fire as well

Nija!!!🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 This hit different bruh🔥🔥 Been a watching for years.

I’m here for some new music. Thanks for broadening my musical horizons 👊🏼

Yo....I have been watching several reactions to Nigerian Raps/Songs from hosts outside Nigeria/Africa and I can categorically say your team is the BEST so far and SECOND to yourself ...Your expertise from correctly narrating the story line in the track, to sharing a perfect understanding of the possible UNDERTONE of the track and asking for where you think you missed certain information regarding "infusion of local language/Nigerian Broken English"...That was the most brilliant have seen in recent time. Let me say this, many teams outside/inside Africa have reacted to this dissed track by M.I Abaga ( pronounced same way is written, not with the 'J ' sound/tone) coz the fued stood top of the rest in history of Nigeria and possibly Africa at large. Undoubtedly, M.I is an OG in the Hiphop/Rap game in the continent as you have assumed from the onset. If I don't wanna be biased as a Nigerian, I will say he's one the best lyricist of all time in our continent in this decade till date. Although we've got other giants in the 4corners of Africa..From the WEST- M.I Abaga (Nig🇳🇬), SARKODIE (Ghana)...EAST-Kaligraph Jones (Kenya) ...SOUTH-Nasty C, Casper (SA) ....However, I can't really say who is top in the Northern Africa. But I can state that M.I has ruled even the Top 4 in Africa...In this particular Diss Track, he was referring to another Rapper in Nigeria called VECTOR " The Viper"...Vector is also tough on the mic, and has been rated Top 10 in Africa. He has been the one always trying to outshine M.I ...Their fueds had been ongoing for years but got recently settled and they both appeared on a cypher staged by HENNESSEY in 2021( You might want to take a look). In all, M.I has done it all and still stands tall among the rest...#PeaceOut

When ever I get bored I always come here to listen to your reaction, best reaction for me, still here 2022

This is a diss track to Vector(another bad ass rapper) his long time rival turned friend. There are dope ass rappers in Nigeria MI, Vector, Show dem Camp, Blaqbones, and many more TAP IN!

Just 5mins in and this is the most intelligent reaction video ive watched already of this song, they don't know Mi or Vector but accurately already get the gist 🙏🏾

You should react to “you rapper should fix up life” by M I. he literally dissed the whole rap industry in nigeria

Best The Viper Reaction ✨✨ Y'all need to check MI "Everything" 🔥🔥

Timblands Masterclass series is amazing. His process is so brilliant and revealing. I love his style and how he comes up with sounds and beats.

Definitely subscribing to you guys now😂. This was dope even though you didn't know the whole story

My son is taller doesn't mean he won't bow.... Everything M.I spit on this song was bars, truth and Facts 💯

This was the only track he used to respond to Vector's 3 beef tracks.. MI is a rap god..

thanks for going more in depth with the beats at the start there, I always struggle to find where the original sample/beat comes from

@gpluschang you boss M I is finally getting the flowers he deserve big up naija hip hop putting Africa on the map

Thank for guys for doing this big love 🇳🇬

This is about the best reaction video i have seen. well analyzed.

The beef is settled already but this track never stop playing in my head, react to Martel cypher 1 and 2

This reaction was crazy and I loved it coming from the fact that you didn't know anything about the beef and still understood it so I'll give you a little break down of what happened. This beef goes far back as 2008 both rappers have been in the game long before that but in Nigeria as at that time many people didn't appreciate rap at all they preferred normal hip hop. M.i brought about that revolution not just in Nigeria but Africa and every one fell in love with him. His word play, rhyme schemes and story telling ability was something else and as of a time when few people in Africa could really relate to rap his success and breakthrough in 2008 after all the work and not giving up was truly remarkable. So the beef started when vector who also started about that same time was not as loved and appreciated by the people as much as M.i. people weren't ready for that type of hard core rap yet and M.i steadily eased people into it. So as you would expect the success rate was not thesame. M.i formed the choc boys also there about that time along with Ice prince and his brother Jesse jags who is also 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 by the way and their success was huge. All the above artists came into lime light because of M.i and enjoyed huge success. M.i went on to become a house hold name while vector was steadily rising buy still in the shadows of M.i. The fans of both rappers started the normal trend of who was the best rapper among them and were asking for a collaboration. Already before that Vector a.k.a vector the viper had already made comments about M.i's height which was not well received by M.i but didn't respond to him as of that time. Vector released King Kong and later did a remix which he wanted M.i to feature and M.i agreed only to later back out for reasons unknown. Vector was not happy with this and that resulted in the beef being full blown. Vector started throwing jabs at M.i on Twitter but M.i didn't respond. Soon M.i dropped a song titled you rappers should fix up there lives. This was aimed at all Nigerian rappers who were going the hip hop/Afro beat way for fame and leaving the Nigerian rap culture for dead. A lot of rappers didn't like that including vector and Vector released a diss track called tetracycline as a reply. M.i then dropped a cypher with Martel and was a hit and vector assumed M.i was taking a shot at him cause he was on a similar deal with Hennessy and fired back at M.i with "The Purge" where he featured other rappers (Payper Corleone and Vader) who had grudge with blaqbonez another lyrically gifted rapper in Nigeria who happens to be signed under M.i dropped a diss track titled BRIA meaning best rapper in Africa to another rapper called Tentik and seamingly have a go at other Nigerian rappers and challenging them. On that diss " The Purge " vector went straight for M.i and initially it seamed that M.i didn't want to respond but pressure from fans and others pressured him into responding and that was when he dropped The Viper. The Viper as you can see was so good a response that it felt M.i went to far with the way he rapper. Vector then responded with Judas the rat referencing M.i's real name in Jude Abaga but this time around it didn't even have a real effect as people already acknowledged that M.i won the beef and that nothing vector could say would ever top that. Efforts were made by a lot of people to reconcile them and finally we got a banger titled " Crown of Clay" the first official collaboration of the two artists. The story is way long had to cut many things out to summarize to this point. That being said please react to M.i and A.q " Trinity" you won't regret it.

YO!! Fan from Nigeria, literarily couldn't believe you guys reacted to this

Y’all getting to Nigerian rap? Omg I’ve been watching y’all for years, it’s amazing to see you react to Nigerian rap

These are all truths in the verses M.I is the 🐐

Man, this was awesome! I hope you're able to check out "Everything" by MI. It's even better

Wow. You guys reacting MI!! Can't believe it.

Listen to his first album “Talk About It “and “MI 2 “ those are classics and then Vector (the viper’s ) response is “Judas the Rat “ . MI ‘s real name is Jude But the whole beef started with “ Tetracycling “ the viper’s first diss to MI

Hi guys just stumbled on Ur channel n damn I'm in love already. Yeah M.I got a lot of song on his catalogue not even sure which to recommend first. But U can check out "Everything I have seen" or "A study of self worth" by M.I

This song was a beef song with another top rapper here in Nigeria, Called Vector. You should check him out too

M.I is one of the best in the continent of Africa. He is an OG! His brother Jesse Jagz is also fire 🔥. Vector raps okay 😔 but for bars from Nigeria, we have M.I Abaga, Mode 9, Terry the rap man and Jesse Jagz are up there.

All your guesses were right! The Viper( Vector) was having issues with king (M.I Abaga - the first pronunciation) and M.I taught him a lesson of his life.

“You’re roasting in your girls place, your b’s bq “ BBQ… bq is short for boys quarters a type of house for servants and maids

i enjoyed this, yall should look out for his yung denzl album. mi is the GOAT!!

Excellent job right here, deciphering the VIPER. Spot on. MI did em! 🇳🇬

M I paint the picture so perfect
