MI Explains How Rap Is Deeply Rooted in Nigeria – "I'm A Student Of The Culture"
In view of pro rapper MI’s relationship, the starting point of rap can be followed to Nigeria. Utilizing the Igbo culture as a similarity, the rap artiste said;
“My dad is a minister and I was naturally introduced to an association called Great Commission Movement and my companions while growing up were all white; my first companion’s name was Jonathan Skidmore. At that point I went to a school called Kent Academy in Jos and it was likewise loaded with white children; from that point, I went to another school called Little Genius and this school additionally had white individuals there. Thus, I am somewhat hindered in understanding the Nigerian culture the way every other individual does and along these lines, I am an understudy of our way of life. This has influenced me to understand that the principal rap is from Nigeria. On the off chance that you read Things Fall Apart, before an Igbo individual talks he says, Igbo Kwenu, his kin holler, hello. That is the snare. Prior to the individual begins talking, he should state some allegorical proclamations as you don’t simply observe a frog running toward the evening and everybody in the social affair would murmur since they know where he is going to. He won’t not have to state anything after that. The individual that would react to him would give a counter allegorical articulation. That is hip-bounce; it is exquisite, tasteful and lofty. It is called swag. That is the thing that I attempt to bring into rap.”
