nah breh. I'm not really into Cash Money like that. How do his old albums compare to 400 Degreez?


Man what.... :dwillhuh:



Breh BG before the drug habit was a better MC than Juvenile lol... BG is the reason they got their deal with Universal (which was the set off) that gave 400 Degreez the platform it had.

i remember Outkast discussed using live instrumentation on their albums.




I'm hip but at the same time sampling means so much to the genre as a whole, you feel me?

Manne Fresh used live instruments in his production

Scarface (the MC) can play multiple instruments and has used them in his production

I love both but I can't front on sampling. Dr.Dre is one of the best producers in music and he wouldn't be anything without it. Same with Ye

and it makes sense that your music would reflect what you grew up listening to and what is played most frequently by media outlets

why do other regions(the south) still coming looking for that validation¿

the sound been moved beyond regions at this point it's just the overall culture of black youth mainly differing in lingo and accent

one thing though a$ap is the template for basically the whole games aesthetic right now

ny still donating plenty swagg to the world if you really know
cause culture is more than just the music

ya dig¿

:russell:The glory days are over. The internet killed the regional sound. This dude is hot garbage but I cant be mad at him for capitalizing on a knowledge deffecient hiphop fan base. Another point I wanted to make. Maybe we need to start looking in the mirror as a society and start blaming ourselves for supporting this trash.

I'm not saying it's trash

I don't think any of the records Desiigner was featured on (on TLOP) were bad but he really sounds exactly like Future. It's almost :mindblown: when you think about it...

French should not be in the same list with these other guys.
French got his swag from actual Southern artists, didn't jack it like the other dudes.

French belongs right there with the other three. He sounds very southern in dialect and delivery.

That's why I @ you...

You're one of the best posters in the booth. Your questions from the Three 6 mafia thread always stuck with me. You seem like a true student of the game.

Anyways,

The south will continue to dominate until new syndication laws or put into place. There is something about the style of music they make that resonates with the world. I'm not taking anything away from northern artists but it is what is
Is the south really dominating though? For being about half of the country, I wouldn't say so.
Future and Young Thug are the only ones I've played for some time, then we have Rae Sremmurd and Gates that are making noise too. I'm not really checking for cats though, so I wouldn't know.

What I don't understand is why influence is a bad thing? People are influenced through internet these days. There's artists from Atlanta that people from Montana can fukk with before cats in Atlanta start fukking with them, that's the power of the internet. So the fact that this is correlated with the advance in technology is not that weird.

Artist need to be held accountable for biting. Its trash because its not original. Hiphop is anti biting. Im about to bump cuban linx and blast the shark nikkas skit. But hey. We live in a world were a kid in Montana can sound just like Method man

Alright J. Cole too, always forget about him since SC is so close to NY and he lived in NY since he was a teenager.
Wale is from DMV, ask Pusha if he's from the south and the rest are pretty :yawn: at this point imo, Jeezy did some numbers though.
I forgot about Killer Mike on my southern list that I play or see making noise in terms of quality.


But again, we are talking about domination here. Dominating is not having a bunch of rappers, it's having a lot more than the others. IMO the south wins on size, having half of the population really helps. Just naming names making noise we can do that for everyone

West Coast: Vince Staples, Tyler The Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Dr. Dre, Schoolboy Q, The Game, Ty Dolla Sign, YG, Hopsin & Macklemore (:laugh:) and more.

East Coast: Asap Rocky, Fetty Wap, French Montana, Action Bronson, Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill, Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller, Wale, Pusha-t, Logic and on.

Mid West: Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Freddie Gibbs, Vic Mensa, Chance the rapper, Dej Loaf, Big Sean, Danny Brown, Durk and on.

My point is if we look at BET Hiphop awards for the past 2 years, it's very diverse, no one is dominating.

Well yeah, French opened the doors for these other guys. Frenchie BSM and French Montana were the first two Northerners to do it, and certified. Frenchie BSM was an original So Icy Boy, and French been certified by Three 6 Mafia, Bun B, Bleau DaVinci and Deb Antney.

These other dudes you listen aren't certified. French doing Southern music, is like Waka doing Southern music, or Pac doing West coast. Although French been true to both NY and Southern sounds.

French has been true to his NY roots though. He does sound clean on trap beats.

it was bound to happen.

Rap went pop, and the Southern sound is the poppiest aka most accessible to cacs.

I might have just lit up your thread, breh. Cue the stalkers

I feel like the southern sound is more loved by blacks than anything.
