Can we just admit the south killed hiphop? and stop being so PC?

[Pop123]

This is 10000% facts, the South got to the forefront and literally put the music (and the listeners) on the short yellow bus and rode off into the sunset. Outside of what the south did to rap I love the south, all my fam from down there so it's not hate...but since they been at the forefront of rap everything and everyone has become numb to stupidity and bad rapping, lol. The ill part is most of us don't even realize that we have been so saturated in this trash that our ears have adapted to it and we actually like a lot of it now,

This again....

The south didn't kill hip hop.

Everyone trying to be like the south did.

 

[OG Talk]

They totally killed our genre. Its so watered down that the entry skill level is non existent. Now little Asian girls are making more money than poor black kids from the hood.

Y'all simplified production. Sampling took musical knowledge and skill. Chopping, placing, sampling drums. Chopping loops kicks, creating new shyt.

As we know rhyming takes skill and intelligence. U have to actually write a 16 that rhyme, have metaphors , on beat, flow and actually touch the listener soul.

In order to get a record deal back in the day u had to all of that plus avoid the nikkas trying to extort you and find a way to get inside a A and R personal space

The south killed our genre. NYC cats was spitting that real shyt. Hard shyt. Southern nikkas kill it and soul it for cheap. Y'all nikkas sold your people out because really you sold black culture and for that I'll never ever forgive y'all. I grow up on this shyt. I cried to this shyt, its the story of my childhood. I really love hiphop

I remember the first time I heard N.S.O.M. I was like whos that !!!!!! or the times pac made me cry in my room alone. Hiphop used to mean something

Hip hop has never been better... fukk you talkin about?

I hate when this topic comes up around here. Most of the participants in said topic are way too young to even have a worthy opinion on who killed hip hop.

It is a very simple, very resounding YES- the South killed hip hop.

No, hip hop does not still exist and if it does, it is amongst only a handful of artists and virtually none of them are mainstream- which, in itself, means hip hop is dead.

 

[desp]

Y'all remember when NY tried to save hip hop?

 

[jelanitsunami]

The South kept making music for the South and eventually people around the rest of the nation started liking it that's not the South's fault.

By 2006 most new NY rappers were street DVD 50 Cent clones and the city never really recovered, that's not the South's fault either.

Nikka, yall newest act is a Mexican with rainbow hair


Hov just went and signed a Japanese dude


Name a southern label with an asian



Wasnt Jin on ruff Ryders, an east coast squad?



I'm a southern nikka and I got love for da East, but dont throw stones if you live in a glass house. All these other groups that in music and till this day you still throwing shots. Shyt lowkey pathetic. It's been 20 years dawg, let it go.

Some of our dudes is wack, true but we have given just as many lyrical dudes as well. What you don't get is, lyrical ability aint just punchlines, not for us. We came up off the blues partna, conveying emotion
Is our goal, well used to be.


How about this then, no east coast rapper use no southern style beats, or no southern features, and go back to yall original flow
If our shyt so wack , they'll have no problem doing numbers right?

 

[Stir Fry]

I always thought NWA did

 

[Zero]

The east coast killed they self. Should have kept making the music they like instead of standing around crying and pulling they dikk.

CLOSE THREAD

Na Scarface is good but he's no way greater than Pac and Nas.

He's on the same level as Pac and Nas as the GOATS. And can be argued as better

Infact he has a strong argument as the only goat with no "bad" album.

I'm from the south and I can't say that I disagree breh:

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Atlanta is just the pawn.
