ATL and Houston will go down as the two most influential cities in Hip-Hop...

[LordFendiMane]

you bay nikkas think y'all started everything. I can't tell if y'all trolling or serious.

A Bay nicca will try to convince you they created Christianity and fire if you listen to them long enough.

Cities breh?

Houston? Nah...much respect to them & their music, but they haven't really influenced anything since the middle of the last decade.

ASAPRocky and Drake would like a word with you

 

[Texas2step]

Guess u gon act like the bay ain't influence houston and basically the entire south....everybody know where the gods of the 808 rest they head at, everybody who's everybody know trap muzic ain't shyt but mobb muzic...I don't even gotta say no more ima just leave with a and keep it humble this time.

no one influenced Houston, we developed our own sound, culture, and slang

What Houston rappers have been relevant in the past 5-6 years? Kirko Bangz?

Y'all would be better off saying chopped & screwed is an influential sound in hip hop, which I would agree with. But Houston as a whole hasn't really done much in several years...not a diss, just a fact

 

[Texas2step]

Ehh anybody from the outside looking in wouldn't know, but Houston failures musically are as much because a lack of talent. Talented Houston rappers just don't tend to make it out, because has a poor local music support base. A lot of cronyism and nepotism among the musical gatekeepers, no major media outlets for hip-hop, and poor fans. I used to say most kids in Houston, don't want to be from Houston, they wish they were in New York or L.A.; it actually took a New Yorker (A$AP Rocky) to make the Texas Hip-Hop culture cool to a lot of people actually living in Texas.

slap yourself nikka. Houston has nothing but talent from Z-ro to Devin to K-rino. It failed bc of the combination of lack of unity, changing of style, and wanting to remain underground. Plus most people I know don't listen to anything outside out Houston.

It's not about relevancy, it's about the influence and our culture and style has been a huge influence which was what I thought the topic was about

New orleans I see u too....influenced P who blew up who in turn blew up the entire south...case closed


They call it the oasis of hiphop for a reason...give y'all y'all props but we talkin most influential here,we gotta talk facts...and the bay got more claim to that title

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

so Uncle Luke and 2 Live Crew didn't pave the way for modern day party/club music?

You named 2 artists your city has influenced. I'd say Miami (bass music ) & NO (bounce music)are both more influential overall than HOU (chopped & screwed)

How has bounce music been influential and on who? And I disagree with Luke and Miami bass music being influential. They just done it first. I don't hear anyone rapping like Luke or anything
