The southern sound is actually DJ uneek's la based sound, to be honest.

Which is why every now and then a la based pop producer can make a hit in rap..or a Hollywood pop producer who studies the so-called southern sound or DJ uneek's sound mixed with pop sentiments or Sonics. Will show up with a hit record that is paid for and made to look organic
Which are all lifts of ruthless post dre and dre post ruthless style work.

If a southern record leans or anything after that.
it may lean on pimp c's organ work or just straight jack lay'em down.
Which also reminds others of pimp c's organ style melodies too.

That may be right, but when I was rapping, all my beats had the organ, live instruments. The only time my producer used an mpc or whatever were for the beat itself. He was from the Chicago tho. A lot of southern producers are soulful tho. Hard hitting baselines and all. And yea, this was before dream and them. Or dj uneek. Even though he had some hard ass bass lines.

but most of it was from the south a bit after hte early 00's kicked in. its been on a southern run ever since. and its not about who's doing what its about the sound. the sound was a southern sound that other artists from other regions hopped on. now you have it some what spread out evenly with the pop stars being from the south, west, i guess you can call toronto north, and some new east artists popping. and let me not forget the chi. right now you have a chi cadence with a southern beat. unless you're listening to kendric, cole, or drake band(he doesnt write his songs. so i call him a band.)

new chicago drill cadence is basically dudes biting racks and triple six mafia or gucci who is the extension of project pat.
