Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck claims he is capable of doing hardcore hip-hop like American superstar Eminem but has opted not to because he believes Nigerians do not appreciate the genre.
He stated that Nigerians prefer melodic music, so he has adjusted his style to cater to commercial success.
In a podcast interview, Odumodublvck expressed his desire to make Nigerian rap as exciting as Wizkid has done with R&B in the country.
He said, “Some Nigerians did pure rap but they didn’t make it exciting for people to gravitate towards it.
“People said my rap sounds like nursery school rhymes. I dumbed it down so I can sell these records, so you don’t have to think twice. When you listen to my rap, if you understand the lingo you get it once. You don’t have to go to any dictionary.
“It’s not hard core rap. It’s easy. I’ve made it exciting. Just like Wizkid, I want to make my rap sweet and exciting.
“I can rap like Eminem and all these guys but bro where I come from nobody is gonna listen to that stuff. They don’t understand it.”
