No, New York just lost its identity. It's a shame too because the West Coast didn't have to change a damn thing about the way they made music. I don't know why NY felt the need to try to chase trends instead of set their own as they always did.

I don't see NY hip hop making a comeback for a very long time if we're being honest.

NY will always be around, but as far as a cultural leader in modern day rap? NAH. They are finished.

Toronto took their sound and reinvented it.

some of the beats boi 1da, 40, zombie on da, track, vinylz etc etc. make is what I imagined the new revamped NY sound could & should be like.

Do new york even have any producers revamping the sound? I know its easy to blame rappers but an NY producer championing a new revamped NY to the world would blow up real quick, where is he?

NY and even the East Coast in general doesn't really have a new sound to give to the world. we just imitate other sounds like Trap music, chopped and screwed (ASAP Rocky), Drill music. yes we have artists that do boom bap but it isn't what people are really checking for now and this is coming from somebody who loves that boom bap sound. do you guys think New York has to try and reinvent it's sound ??

ASAP Rocky already reinvented New York's sound. It's called Live.Love.ASAP. Y'all just weren't paying attention.

That shyt Clams Casino did (a Jersey dude by the way) is straight up New York meets Southern shyt. But y'all slept and hated :yeshrug:

I don't believe in blaming the radio. NY nikkas just not making hit records right now. I heard a few decent sounding joints on Respect Life. And NY still got lyricists but nikkaz is busy trying to remake a sound that already peaked a decade ago.
