I'm From the South But Hip-hop Was Better When NY Ran Shyt

[PhonZhi]

Was bumping this joint yesterday:



and breh that starts rapping @1:40 made me remember what I loved about NY rappers. Dude sounds so.....intelligent and smart

I'm a southern dude through and through but was always drawn to "east coast" rap growing up. The jada's, Jay-Z, Fab's and A.Z's. I loved LYRICISM. I loved the intelligence. Maybe its the accent, I don't know but NY rappers always came off as more "intelligent". Dudes like Talib and Mos Def had a breh wishing he was from NY.

This video right here





When I listen to rappers like Gucci, Plies, Master P, Yo Gotti, 2Chainz and a lot of these other mumble mouth southern rappers, I don't hear "intelligence". I know its mainly because of the accents. I've heard a few songs by a dude name Young Dolph and I can honestly say that he SOUNDS like the most unintelligent rapper I've ever heard. Again, I know its because of the accent. Not saying that these guys aren't intelligent, just speaking on the accent. I think somebody like T.I isn't given his due props because of his accent. Dude is a beast lyrically but some people lump him into the average category because he might not "sound" the part.

Another verse I've always loved was Roc Marciano's verse on The Heist:

2:00



Even before I knew who he was, his verse always stood out to me because of how "intelligent" he sounded.

I'm not saying NY rappers are more intelligent or shytting on southern rappers, but it took awhile before I started listening to "down south" shyt. Everybody else was bumping 8Ball & MJG/3-6 Mafia while I was bumping Gangstarr.

Hip-hop just seemed like a more "intelligent" art form when NY was on top. Now, with the south running shyt, its turned into a fukkin Minstrel Show

So you're a regional c00n is what you're telling us.

Throwing your own people under the bus to prop up others...you should be ashamed

Has nothing to do with being a regional c00n. Most southern nikkas in the rap game are too retarded and they're the reason why rap is on the decline and trump is in office. Ppl are getting more and more dumb. I miss when hip hop was ruled by intelligent artist from the east, midwest and west coast. I can't even listen to the radio without feeling like I need to read a book like wtf did I just listen too.

*Sits back and watches this thread pile up with retarded ass trolls from the south and collects negs from this post*

I'm from a small town in the south and always thought this. I loved 90s and early 00s NY hip hop. I was basically the town pariah for my love of that type of hip hop.

Ya'll hear this? Hiphop was better when it was ruled by the "intelligent" minds of east coast dust-sprinkled smart-dumb ideologies, west coast black on black gang criminals, and midwestern farmhands.

I was staying in Little Rock when Get Rich or Die Trying, and it was bumping out of every car passing by. The last east coast album that I remember that was big down south.

I'm from the ruralest part of the south and I'd never say this.

Hip Hop was better when it was regionalized, with cats literally competing to see who could put out the best album with the best lyrics.

Nowadays nikkas dont compete, they just do their best to hop on a successful wave and copy the success of others.

There IS no "my album better than yours" because "my album IS yours"

and unfortunately, sounding dumb with the most popular style of beat is the wave.

Drug dealers, gangsters, poets rapping about life >>> drug addicts from the south rapping about dikks, lean, being played by bytches and portraying themselves as something they're not.

*Sits back and smh at more of your retarded ass southern troll logic then decides if I should leave thread and read a book to prevent my intelligent mind from being tainted by your stupidity. Your next post will make that decision for me.*

Let's step back for just a second.

Dudes in here are waxing nostalgic for an era of "intelligent" rhymers with Nore as an example in the OP

Noreaga....a alcoholic with an admitted 6th grade education :loldenzel2:

An accent doesn't determine your intelligence, you having a brain with whatever you're saying with it does.

Making stereotypes and generalizations on your own region, doesn't make sense unless you hate yourself and own cultural identity as an individual. Then again, it's not like you nikkas know what cultural anthropology is.
