I will recommend you listen to his project; Illegal Music 3 mixtape or Yung Denzl - Study on Self worth. But if you want to listen to a track then I will recommend Everything, Playlist, You Rappers Should Fix Up Your Lives. He has over 10 projects, just research MI Abaga or check him up on Wiki
'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 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.
"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.
Boogey!!! Big fan!!! You are one of the dopest if not the dopest. I’ve requested for them to react to antimessage but they never did. George and Ryan, pleaaaaaasse react to antimessage by Boogey (doooooope Nigerian rapper). You’ll not be disappointed.
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"
"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
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
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
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.
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.
You should sit down there saying VEC never put anyone on who has been giving young rappers in Nigeria the way through hennessy for the past years if not VEC. If you don't know AQ is still underground because of is greedy spirit get your facts right AQ has dropped an album before VEC and MI ever dropped and album. You are talking like VEC never dropped a reply to this fat lies MI dropped I am not saying MI is not good but on this beef track MI dropped 90% lies.
@@ambrosebright6124 you wanna talk? Get your facts right. Underground rappers that weren't paid to do the Hennessy VS class?? AQ is an underground rapper? Are you smoking? He got LOTR and Best Rap Album and you're saying he's underground. You said 90% of what M said on Viper are lies right? I challenge you to list them, I'll reply with facts. Everything V said in Alaye Jor Jor Jor were lies, or half truths, if you feel you have the right information to tackle or challenge that, let's go. I have your time. Now, because you have differing opinions doesn't mean you should insult me, you don't know me, let's keep it at music
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.
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
@@nanaorgen3605 m.i is short, vector has been throwing short jokes and lines in his disses. In Yoruba culture you dobale "prostrate or bow" to greet your elders or royalty. So m.i Is saying vector can claim he is taller but he is still m.i son
@@nanaorgen3605 it means a lot in the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. To dobale means to lie prostrate on the floor on your tummy as a sign of respect mostly reserved for the very elderly.
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"
🔥🔥 Quick one... Nigeria created the Afro Beats and have been holding it down in the whole world. But Rap is everything to some of us here in Nigeria, Africa. For over a Decade, M.I Abaga have been holding it down for the Culture! M.I remains the best Rapper in Africa (unfortunately underrated). He is so good that he releases Two Albums. One for Mainstream and another he calls "Illegal Music" & he has up to 3 Illegal Music Albums! From the beginning to date, I'll add a few links to some of his songs to back my claims as to why I call him the best! ruclips.net/video/lqYHpFrADr8/видео.html (6 Foot) ruclips.net/video/53faHIMNe5k/видео.html (Black Bill Gates ft. Khaligraph Jones) ruclips.net/video/ILVxK2gklk0/видео.html (Everything) ruclips.net/video/5hPuVJXxEsQ/видео.html (King James) ruclips.net/video/OiZ7M1pBkhk/видео.html (Epic) ruclips.net/video/e2KhT5OPgp8/видео.html (You Rappers Should Fix Up Your Lives) This brought more anger, diss from other rappers, cus you know that truth is bitter. Rappers started dropping the rap game after they make it into Afro Beats. The truth is, after this song, Nigerian Rappers actually woke up. It wasn't about South African Rappers making name along in the Continent. Then.. ruclips.net/video/0ySKtoAVIhQ/видео.html (Martell Cypher 1- which is the best)! You've just done this..⬇️ ruclips.net/video/6qNE4k95UCA/видео.html (Viper) So there is a very good rapper called Vector (but he is no match for M.I in my books), he dissed M.I and Viper was M.I reaction to that diss. I'll stop here for now.
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
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
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.
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 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.
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!
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.

I'll stop here for now.
As a Nigerian who has been subscribed and a big fan of you guys for years now, I really appreciate this one🙏🏽💯. I'm happy my son is taller Doesn't mean you won't dobale/bow/show respect. Let me cc(chocolate city) you. You are not even top 5 from Yoruba land Mode, Eldee, Baddo, DaGrin, Remi', YCee and Falz Omoh .. See-the-queue(CDQ is also a rapper)
This was MI being funny and addressing a beef, more like giving the dude some lessons. He is a cool kid, one of African's finest, if not the finest. The beef between him and Vector has now ended leading to the of release a new single"Crown of Clay", a very nice song🙌 MI has a couple of good albums... You can look up his song "Everything and Unstoppable. Dude is really good.
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.
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.
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
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
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 🙏🏾
12:31 That's where the deadliest bar is. "You're not even top five from Yoruba land..." Then MI goes on to name Yoruba rappers he puts ahead of Vector: "Mode, Eldee, Badoo, DaGrin, Remi, YC and Falz...omo, CDQ..." Including CDQ is the punch, because he's more of a hype man than a rapper. And as a double entendre, C-D-Q sounds like "see the queue"...showing just how far behind his peers MI thinks Vector is.
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
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.
M.I Abaga is one of the major shareholders in chocolate city (a very big feat, considering the fact that he got there from being a signed artist on their rooster), but he doesn't own Chocolate City. The Viper is a brilliantly crafted track. It just had to be MI doing it. Nice reaction

He has over 10 projects, just research MI Abaga or check him up on Wiki
Yea you should listen to more of his music. Check out yung Denzel by MI
I'm with these guys in the suggestions
MI is hands down the best. He could go bar for bar with Kendrick, Jay Z
'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.
I mean the play with words is mad
It's called a double entendre
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.

As a Nigerian, this feels my heart
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"
You did very very well ma mahn. Bless you for this breakdown
"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

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.
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.
done. this summarizes every grey area well.
Amazing summary man
You should sit down there saying VEC never put anyone on who has been giving young rappers in Nigeria the way through hennessy for the past years if not VEC.
If you don't know AQ is still underground because of is greedy spirit get your facts right AQ has dropped an album before VEC and MI ever dropped and album.
You are talking like VEC never dropped a reply to this fat lies MI dropped I am not saying MI is not good but on this beef track MI dropped 90% lies.
@@ambrosebright6124 you wanna talk? Get your facts right. Underground rappers that weren't paid to do the Hennessy VS class?? AQ is an underground rapper? Are you smoking? He got LOTR and Best Rap Album and you're saying he's underground. You said 90% of what M said on Viper are lies right? I challenge you to list them, I'll reply with facts. Everything V said in Alaye Jor Jor Jor were lies, or half truths, if you feel you have the right information to tackle or challenge that, let's go. I have your time.
Now, because you have differing opinions doesn't mean you should insult me, you don't know me, let's keep it at music
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
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.
Bars
He bodied this dude straight up even with the CDQ line
Omo Cee D Queue 🤣
As a Nigerian, I'm so happy for this reaction..been a subscriber since 2018. MI has so so many songs.
Boss I hail
Gove them the load down on the beef na
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
"Because my son is taller, doesn't mean he won't bow to me"
That's not hard
Cox my son is taller that doesn't mean he won't dobale chale!
@@nanaorgen3605 It literally is. "Dobale" is form of prostration done before one's elders, betters or royalty.
@@nanaorgen3605 m.i is short, vector has been throwing short jokes and lines in his disses. In Yoruba culture you dobale "prostrate or bow" to greet your elders or royalty. So m.i Is saying vector can claim he is taller but he is still m.i son
@@nanaorgen3605 it means a lot in the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. To dobale means to lie prostrate on the floor on your tummy as a sign of respect mostly reserved for the very elderly.
Wow! I love this. Many thanks for beaming light on Nigerian Rap. Big fan of your reactions
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
You right
This is sonning someone to a new level
He’s the biggest deal and a living hip hop legend periodt!
Dobale means to Prostrate to someone of higher rank than you. It is a sign of respect to someone you hold of high esteem.
Shout out From South Africa. African Legend this man!!!
By any ways M.I is OG respect ✊🏾🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
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"
M. I abaga is the greatest rapper alive in the continents of Africa
Is Nasty C and a-reece Dead?

And they are fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And they actually dropp the beef and finally gave us a song together after so long, Crowns of Clay by MI and Vector
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
Glad I watched this video, went to go check out his Apple Music and found a good amount of songs I liked!
Good

Quick one... Nigeria created the Afro Beats and have been holding it down in the whole world. But Rap is everything to some of us here in Nigeria, Africa.
For over a Decade, M.I Abaga have been holding it down for the Culture! M.I remains the best Rapper in Africa (unfortunately underrated).
He is so good that he releases Two Albums. One for Mainstream and another he calls "Illegal Music" & he has up to 3 Illegal Music Albums!
From the beginning to date, I'll add a few links to some of his songs to back my claims as to why I call him the best!

This brought more anger, diss from other rappers, cus you know that truth is bitter. Rappers started dropping the rap game after they make it into Afro Beats. The truth is, after this song, Nigerian Rappers actually woke up. It wasn't about South African Rappers making name along in the Continent.
Then..

ruclips.net/video/6qNE4k95UCA/видео.html (Viper) So there is a very good rapper called Vector (but he is no match for M.I in my books), he dissed M.I and Viper was M.I reaction to that diss.
I'll stop here for now.
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..
This is like your dad talking to you and telling you how disappointed he is in you. Devastating. Wow! Thanks guys!
This is by far the best reaction on RUclips.
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
Vector's response was underwhelming. I think this diss track from MI is arguably the best I have heard out of Africa
m.i been more successful than vector but vector killed him judas the rat.
JUDAS THE RAT WASN'T AS DEEPVand dope AS THE VIPER THOUGH NICE TOO
Same for me it’s the best diss track with so much wisdom💯💯👍
MI will always school vector anytime anyday.
@@johelchyville9786 not playing sentiments, on this one, vector won
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
Intelligent
He dissed CDQ, and not reference... lol
the queue is already complete
he made CDQ think hes among the best , not knowing its just a banter.... lol
Papa talking to you instead of giving lashes .😂😂😂😂😂
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.
You dope
🏆👍
Well done bro 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks man
Lol. What a one-sided description, clearly an MI fan. You even missed a lot of timelines. Vector won the beef and that's what's up
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
My son is taller doesn't mean he won't bow.... Everything M.I spit on this song was bars, truth and Facts 💯
The line “Dobale Chale” literally means “he’d (vector) have to prostrate”
pàle is father figure, also it's a yoruba tradition for sons to prostrate to their fathers when greeting them, (Lanre) is yoruba
@@salaamdeitrus7946 lanre is vectors real name
@@salaamdeitrus7946Pale is a pidgin English word for Father
Chale is think is a Ghanaian slang for friend
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.
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!
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.
I’m here for some new music. Thanks for broadening my musical horizons 👊🏼

This was MI being funny and addressing a beef, more like giving the dude some lessons. He is a cool kid, one of African's finest, if not the finest.
The beef between him and Vector has now ended leading to the of release a new single"Crown of Clay", a very nice song🙌
MI has a couple of good albums... You can look up his song "Everything and Unstoppable. Dude is really good.
You should react to “you rapper should fix up life” by M I. he literally dissed the whole rap industry in nigeria
Yes he did 😎
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.
M.i sound here is legendary! Ain't surprised he dominated this space.....naija's got rappers!
The beef is settled already but this track never stop playing in my head, react to Martel cypher 1 and 2
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.
Definitely subscribing to you guys now😂. This was dope even though you didn't know the whole story
This song was a beef song with another top rapper here in Nigeria, Called Vector. You should check him out too
Problem now go be vector always speaking yoruba here and there them no go understand shit

Nice video. Please react to "Everything" by M.I Abaga next. Thanks
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
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.
dobale means is how you greet an elder, usually by bowing, he's no matter how tall the son, he still bows to his father
Everything thing MI said was facts
Let's go!💪🏾 Mr incredible is in the house! 🗣
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
“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
At the same time, BBQ (barbecue). He's roasting like a barbecue in his girl's place. M.I's a Lagend.
Listen and react to "Everything" off his Illegal Music 3 mixtape. It should be what you can relate most to.
You know music
That's my best MI song
Nija!!!🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
This hit different bruh🔥🔥
Been a watching for years.
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 🙏🏾
12:31
That's where the deadliest bar is.
"You're not even top five from Yoruba land..."
Then MI goes on to name Yoruba rappers he puts ahead of Vector:
"Mode, Eldee, Badoo, DaGrin, Remi, YC and Falz...omo, CDQ..."
Including CDQ is the punch, because he's more of a hype man than a rapper. And as a double entendre, C-D-Q sounds like "see the queue"...showing just how far behind his peers MI thinks Vector is.
Man, this was awesome! I hope you're able to check out "Everything" by MI. It's even better
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
@6:45 Dobale chale in this context, means "You will bow to greet me" because in Yoruba tradition the son bows down to greet his father
By far the most disrespectful diss i ever heard.Very well crafted amazing work of art.
This was the only track he used to respond to Vector's 3 beef tracks..
MI is a rap god..
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.
DON'T FORGET BLAQBONEZ, LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA

They are facts. Truths are in them. The Beef been squashed though. They over it.
M.I Abaga is one of the major shareholders in chocolate city (a very big feat, considering the fact that he got there from being a signed artist on their rooster), but he doesn't own Chocolate City.
The Viper is a brilliantly crafted track. It just had to be MI doing it. Nice reaction
We all started rapping because of MI bro
Iceprince won the BET Awards for best international Act

mi abaga is Africa's finest....plain and simple. what took you guys so long man, only stogie t is touching this guy
