Sorry to break your heart. In NY, we dont condone nikkas wearing jeans that give yeast infections.
maybe ya'll need to start doing so. Then people outside of NY can actually give a fukk about your city like they do ASAP. He's the only dude people really give a fukk about, and ya'll still haven't figured out why? It aint got shyt to do with jeans. Only a lazy minded nikka would think that.
ASAP mob not doing anything new, they bit the entire Wu style.
I know their shyt is straight Wu - that's why I love it. It's Wu done in a completely different way that could only happen in the 2010s. They took Wu and added other cool shyt that's far from the Wu sound (e.g. Screw, Bone Thugs flow and New Agey sounds).
Meanwhile, you got lames like Joey Badass who are doing bad Scenario remixes and sounding pretty much like 1993, but shyttier.
Dont believe me, research who Rocky's manager is...ask Asap Nast how he got method man on that song.
That song was always trash to me. and frankly, I hate seeing the ASAP dudes lean on legends for buzz. I was disappointed as hell to see Rocky do a track with Raekwon, Bone Thugs and all. fukk them old nikkas. Respectfully. And I say that as an early 80s baby who grew up when hip hop was HIP HOP.
Either way. Im talking about that NY sound, im from NY...ny nikkas dont sound like we from houston, atlanta and all that shyt.
Y'all need to wake the fukk up and innovate. Hip hop isn't regional anymore.
Besides, NY bit the West Coat's swag back in the early 90s, which led to them ushering in a new rawness in the form of Wu, Big, Nas, etc. The West Coast gangsta dominance made NY step their gritty shyt up.
Your favorite rapper Jay-Z made a career riding on Southern-esque beats courtesy of Neptunes and Timbaland.
Why hasn't NY stepped up with better relevant product for 2015? There's no more excuses.
outside of Rocky, I aint seeing it. Real talk. All I see is a sea of talentless wannabes appealing to a dated notion of "New York pride" while making some of the worst music ever. Your boy Troy Ave, who's trying to dikkride 50's sound to the top, is no different from that wack ass Sun God track. Coasting on the legacies of their parents.
People ignore ya'll because you haven't stepped it up. Period. And the one guy who does (Rocky and Clams Casino), ya'll nikkas hate.
The first thing ya'll need to do is find a new East Coast producer worth hearing.
