Brehs, is it just that NYC rappers are just fukking lazy?

[MegaTronBomb!]

Y'all seeing right now why NY will never fall off. For a city that supposedly has no one in it ()
It's sure is a hot topic. It's like y'all no that Hip Hop isn't complete without someone from NY at the top or near it. Nice to see.

So who's here to restore the feeling breh?

I don't know. But he's coming.

look what happened to rap the second there was an NY nikka at the top to keep the culture in check

Whoever he is he needs to hurry up. shyt looking bad outchea B

 

[H.J.Duck]

Did he ever find the studio he's been looking for since 2013?

yeah because that was because he's "lazy", not because he was told not to release a response

not releasing one song =/= laziness

but I see this is more so a troll thread. keep going bruh.

When you already only rap maybe once a year.... how convenient is it to be told to not rap the very moment people actually were waiting to hear you rap?

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Fab is a TERRIBLE example OP.

He is the most consistent NY rapper in the game.

The problem came from the early 90s where labeled coddled extraordinary talent and and catered to their needs. That's why the older MCs of that era, outside of a KRS, Rakim, or a Big Daddy Kane, we're as long as they dropped a dope project once every 2 to 4 years. That's why selling CD out of kinkos and back of their trunk was a foreign concept outside of old Rocafella for most NY rappers. Method Man and Jadakiss, when they first came into the game said that rappers only recorded and toured 6 months of the year and chilled for the other 6 months...until DMX came in and Hov started dropping platinum albums annually.

Those rappers always ran to the labels because they were more focused on quality than hustle. Back when labels were profitable.

Now, cats gotta work 24/7, tour like mad, drop mixtures and projects like it ain't nothing, to keep up with that ADD social media lifestyle that the south laid the blueprint on. With a 360 deal.

That's why the older NYC rappers have a hard time adjusting to these times of the digital era.

bytch ass nikka tried to blame the south....you aint slick nikka

Call a rapper who willingly waits 5 years to drop an album a bad example of being lazy.

He's a harder working version of Lloyd Banks

Judge a rapper's work ethic based on albums brehs

 

[Jhoon]

The premise of this is flawed. It's so flawed i have to question the seriousness of it; It comes across as satire.

I think this is satire.

 

[Rollo Goodlove]

I can't speak on ny rap scene but CALI has the best u dethrone talent hands down.

This is supposed to be a hip-hop forum, but Fabolous is as lazy as Jay Electronica?
He released a mixtape series leading up to his album.
You guys got spoiled by Lil Wayne in the mid-2000s and expect everyone else on the planet to act like the kids who came after him and drop 2 mistapes a year, one album, and appear on 32 different singles across genres
NY rappers remember when it wasn't that necessary to drop new material everything time they turned around to keep up buzz. Just craft a fantastic project every year/other year.

It's a combination of things, the music just isn't that good, period. The notion that there are all these hidden superstars in these ny streets held back by x y z is bullshyt. The city is dead culturally, everything we make is just a generic rendition of other regions shyt, some of these nikkas making decent block music for their block but nothing that is going to shake the game

wait a minute that dusse go hard but this dude talking about taking trips to dubai. The other brother making love songs about his shooters

 

[Danktoker94]

A lot of these ATL nikkas is trash Bruh work ethic?? How hard is it to make racket and mumble lmaoooo only on this site nikkas swear ATL is crazy with music when really a lot of NYC nikkas clown on the south on the regevery south rapper literally last 2 years than nikkas forget bout em

 

[Edub]

Seems like they're the only region as a whole that does not treat their profession.... like a real job.

All the other excuses ( NYC has no sound, stuck in a time warp, no unity, etc.) are far less valid than this.

If any average NYC rapper had the work ethic of a Boosie,Migos,Plies or a Yo Gotti...they'd be the biggest thing ever.

Fabolous is probably the biggest example of this shyt....got the work ethic of fukking Jay Electronica, but stays in the club and taking the jersey game to levels nobody will ever reach


instead of working, they're on twitter wanting to know if you'd rather have a retarded son, or a gay son for years.

it's really gotten to the point that their output is so low, i can't even shyt on them anymore




If these dudes stopped being lazy, and quit believing they should be handed things simply cause they're NYC rappers..... where would they be?


let's discuss

NYC rappers in around 2008 started seeing NO RESULTS from the efforts of the likes of Fred the God Son, Maino, Red Cafe...etc(each were dropping mixtapes around the clock)...and labels backed off from the heavy financial support too...these are things many south and midwest artists never had to begin with so the lack of it never had effect.

NY producers are being outclassed like crazy too....that is the real problem imo...

 

[Danktoker94]

NYC sound is so unique every south dude sound the same or is tryna sound the same no individualism and there's mad raw spitters in NYC who can't get deals cause of racket and I'll beats
