Atlanta! Hey ya was by 3staccs right? What genre was that love below album? Wasnt hip hop, and its success changed shyt. Without that no lollipop from wayne which started his demise. Outkast are my top 3 groups ever too but its true. So bam from that u get future, ti whatever u like etc. Aka genre bending. Devin the dude wasnt a rapper full time from jump so i cant blame him but 3staccs. That album birthed rappers moonlighting as singers to crossover. Cee Lo always did both his style was half rap half sing since cell therapy. Luke and new Orleans originated the stripper anthems but they were underground. Now ushers saying he dont mind. The stripper fetish started in Atlanta with magic citys rise in the bmf days. They made it to where nikkas wanted a thick bytch and it was ok to pay for it. When joc, soulja boy, d4l etc had dudes in the club doing routines and got rich.. Ever since look around. Lyrics died with gucci. Cuz jeezy was a punchline nikka infact all boys in the hood could rap. Check the freestyles n mixtapes. Gucci was so straight to the point the nikkas he inspired had no appreciation for metaphors similies coded slang rhyme patterns and all the shyt greats from everywhere else hang there hats on. Midwest listen to any midwest legend bet they nice with the pen. West coast nikkas always could rhyme. Kurupt was crippin hard but look at how he put it together. Eastsidaz, jayo felony, quik, spice 1 etc. The bay been talkin briccs n bows its just coded. Hence thizz.. There underground scene was doin today mainstream numbers. Too short played his own basslines too. I can go on n on legend by legend city by city. The south n trap are not to blame its Atlanta. Not because they lacc talent, but the fact youve had a stranglehold on this shyt over 10 years and all of the criticised changes were brought about by yall. Dem franchise boys sound rakim compared to a trap mumble nikka. Yall devalued lyrics.
i can say all this is a byproduct of the fraudulent puff yousa hater movment.
which ruined the mecca internally landscape wise.
that took an emo term like playa hating,..which used to be hollering at a nikka female in committals.
then, changing the term all the way into excusing a culture thief/sellout.
for being a culture thief/uncle tom c00n mccan behind the premise of the new puff defined term of playa hating.
which was shorted to just hating. where eventually the original meaning was lost.
when, someone culturally was in the wrong and being wrongly made into the badguy in a pop sense.
for explaining how some one was a being a blatant culture thief.
on top of puff damging the culture protection mechanism with yousa hater .
then using the pr steam to desecrate the holy grail culturally. when he made that blasphemous abomination of a record from the message.
after that, coupled with rap being mass marketed nationally as a science to the mainstream via leo burnett.
including the emotional windfall of big being used as a keypoint for sympathy.
puff eventually damaged the protection mechanism of not only just the industry of rap. rap being the last profitable pillar left not damaged by art houses cultural based thievery.
that eventually rap as well as an industry was damaged and moved from being the most profitable model in the music industry.
which is how rap was able to even get art house recognition in the first place.
as art houses all suffered cultural disconnect to rap and hiphop originally.
despite culturally the art houses not knowing how to fully monetize, it using their pop lack of culture ideals.
before the cultural protection mechanism were damaged.
rap only had on genre compromised and that was gangsta rap as a pop model.
the other genres and content points in rap were not tainted or deemed a non-draw at that time like how puff de-evolved the business to where we are now.
that eventually a puff type from all genres including emo.
soon damaged the industry of rap and last pillar of hiphop.
that had monetary value running the same culture thief based script.
couple that with puff's ideal in business being from the fraudulent production deal model from mca as well.
as mca got a pass in the hardcore bboy revolution. from being around in that lull of transistion from 84-86.
where most defjam associated artists or managed groups all clung to old school dj hollywood culture thief ideals.
yet hid it well enough to draw and establish a drawing foot print in booking to record sales.
that allowed them monetary freedom to go unscathed from cultural scrutiny.
which created a bad brew where almost over night the culture was sent spiraling into the same death knell descent breaking endured and never recovered from. till breaking is exactly only really practiced outside of older bboys in the art school medium. where the classically trained medium or venue is a cultural violation.
all because the classically trained art school medium is gay and also a cultural violation to hiphop as well.
where breaking and now cultural rap was given a speedy death knell sentence in quick succession to pop sellout culture thief imposter based industrial ideas. that wrongly take hiphop out of the context of what the pillars and their business are about culturally.
plus left them with no cultural protection mechanism from cultural disconnect to the pop realm which could not be reversed.
once, the culture thief based framework setup by puff was made to draw largely in a pop sense.
