What the fukk is a "regional classic"?

 

[mobbinfms]

Yet...the only cosigner to your peckawood drivel in this thread is a CACnadian...a fellow vulture, who like yourself, don't even have the ability to understand the content of the music in the sub-genre that groups like 3-6 & Mobb Deep operate in. Which disqualifies both of you from the conversation anyway.


You crackas got some nerve trying to arbitrate quality to nikkas about our own shyt.

Talmbout some they "regional" when you can find sub-branch's of 3-6/Memphis sound...a sound that started in the early 90's... in every corner of the country in 2015...from NY to Chicago to ATL to MIA

Yet you can't find sub-branches of Mobb Deep's sound all over the country


But i bet you think they have "universal classics" When they had no real sonic or cultural impact on the sound of rap like 3-6.

Nobody wants their music to sound like Mobb Deep in 2015....impact wise they're peons compared to the 6.

So everybody agrees the sound of hip hop is terrible in 2015
And everybody agrees that 36 is the biggest influence on the modern sound of hip hop
Cognitive dissonance

This was recored in like 98-99 yet Sounds better than every Travis Scott /A$AP song that is influenced by them lol.

None of that Autotune either

they birthed trap rap and crunk

That's a huge overstatement considering the influence Eightball & MJG had on trap rap. Before people were really up on Three Six, it was Eightball & MJG who really kicked in the door in that regard. Coming Out Hard is one of the most influential albums in Southern Hip Hop. From Master P to T.I. to Jeezy to Gucci.

3-6 played a apart in creating the sonic, cultural and stylistic base for alot of what we hear in modern rap...and made it appealing for modern rappers to want to create sub-branches of their sound.

What modern rappers do with this creation is not on the originators of the sound

Mobb Deep's music wasn't creative, powerful and quality enough to have such an impact on newer generations of rappers where they would want to create sub-branches of their sound...because they made vastly inferior music.

Migos >>>>> Mobb Deep btw

you know how influence works tho. Its not always good. Usually, somebody drops an innovative style and sharks run that shyt into the ground.

Its like T-pain begats Future who begats 100 whack, mumbling nikkas misusing auto-tune.

You can trace lineages back to anybody and it will always have the same end result ..There's an originator, then there's a few dope offspring, then everybody else does terrible renditions of it til it aint cool no more and next originator changes the game. Circle of life shyt.

Lol three 6 never rapped about trapping they rapped about being junkies, killing people, and pimping. Dudes comparison is so off

Yeah, they had some songs that are trap particularly "We Got Da Dope". They definitely influenced trap rap sonically, but they didn't birth it.

Your half correct...Coming Out Hard had a HUGE impact on 3-6/Memphis sound...particularly when it comes to drum & bass patterns...which Ball & G picked up from DJ Squeeky & DJ Zirk... but they veered away from the sound after '93...while 3-6 stayed true to it and was chiefly responsible for the sound spreading to ATL and then nationwide.

Memphis had already spread to the ATL though. Ball & G also influenced early OutKast and Jazze Pha was working with them. Jazze label and claim to fame came from working with Tela and Eightball & MJG. "Sho Nuff" became bigger than a song.

Yeah...but Outkast don't sound like Ball & G, sonically or content wise... nor did any other ATL rappers around the time of coming out hard...like i said, after COH Ball & G started to veer away from their base sound which you heard on COH, Listen to the lyrics and their features on DJ Sqeeky & DJ Zirk mixtapes from 91-93...ATL rappers didn't start biting the Memphis sound until 3-6 blew it up and Ball & G had long abandoned it.
