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

Go Deeper with that @WickedGames

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 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 () 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.

@Harry B you're moving the goal posts a little

J cole is southern

Wale is from Maryland and Pusha is from Norfolk/Hampton

Those boys are from the south and if you look at my list and subtracted those artists and their influence on hip hop what would you have right now

That list - Their Impact on hip hop = ?

 

[Grano-Grano]

Max B wasn't tryna sound like other regions. Why you think the East Coast loved Biggaveli? My generation loves the south because they talk real shyt. We can't be on that regional division shyt that 50 and em was on. Real recognize real. It's a generational shift.

Why it gotta be NY vs the South tho? NYers don't even see it as a rivalry. We support South music and been doing so since we were on top.

I'm a NY nikka but I lived in the ATL area growing up as well so no biases here. I been fukkin with South music and I'm glad to see the South winning. Why so much animosity towards NY tho?

No shade is being thrown at NY or the north

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Everytime i think of the south's takeover, i think of the movie paid in full.

Calvin=new york

Ace=the south

Drug game=hip hop

Calvin was runnin that shyt. nikkaz used to clown Ace. Calvin gets knocked. Ace starts runnin shyt. Calvin comes home. Ace tells Calvin the way things are gonna be. Calvin is back hustlin again, but cant stand to see Ace runnin shyt instead of him.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

maryland is not the south.
NC, at one point in time, had more northern leaning music...and kinda still does.
J Cole and Wale don't have a southern sound...

You telling who? Me?

Anything below the mason Dixie is the south

You telling me?

Baltimore is considered northern MD. The area code doesn't include 202 240 or 301

And we don't consider the DMV apart of northern MD. As a matter of fact the majority of the DMV is below the mason Dixie line.. In the south


I said Wale and J Cole are from the south. Wale has had a Southern sound since late 2010 singing to a southern label

I'll give you J Cole on sound but please believe that boy reps the vill like no other

Quote it

I'm the TS so I can tell you that isn't the purpose of the thread.

The thread is about the telecommunications act of 1996 and the impact it had on black radio

 

[NotaPAWG]

That southern impact on the rap game (specifically NJ/NY)

Everything goes full circle. Hip hop didn't exist long enough for things to start going full circle until around the 00s. In other genres of music there's no regional sounds anymore either, but there used to be 20+ years ago. The longer a music subculture is around the more regionalism disappears. Although you still have sounds that are defined by regions. But in hip hop right now it's becoming a lot like rock music where that regional barrier disappears

How do you think hip hop will sound in 10 years

Next decade

10 years removed from the 2010s

Idk. If people are clowning artists and hate how regionalism is kinda becoming obsolete there gonna probably hate it in the next 10 years.

I think of it this way like.. You had ASAP Rocky come out whos from NY, same as me, mostly. Llarge influenced by the souths music and ASAP Mob loves Dipset. Dipset was influenced by the south as well. It's funny how people don't understand how this could contribute to northerners sounding more southern. So you got these rappers from NY (ASAP) who were also of the Internet generation. The south has been doing their thing for a minute. The 00s we were listening to a lot of three 6 Mafia, I'm from Mass not sure if it was like that in NY, too. So you can't expect a generation that came up listening to a lot of southern shyt or NY music that was southern influenced and expect anything other out of it.

Also In the 00s digging for music was harder than it is now. Now, I could just open up soundcloud and listen to some obscure southern rapper.

The newer generation coming up & making music don't have the techlogilical barriers that could limit influence outside regions that we did in the 00s and earlier.

kinda like how in the 80s and 90s having an mpc was like a big deal. There's younger posters on here who argue that making a beat from scratch takes more skill Than sampling but they don't take into account that producers back then didn't have access to equipment like that. Now you can just download a program and be a producer.

It's a generational shift "progressing" also with technology.

that's dope.. I don't even think I can answer my own question

Here we are in 2016 four years from 2020 and the south's reign is still prominent so much so that their influence is everywhere

If you're saying that you see one big blend with no regionalism isn't that what we have present day thanks to syndication? There isn't anymore diversity at least thats what it feels like

There's still regional sounds to some extent. Artist are going to rep where their from regardless of if they sound traditionally like their region or not. I think it will just become like rock music. In the sense It will balance itself out ;the southern influence will fall a bit and instead it will just be artist from whereever influenced from whereever.. It's already happening. Vince Staples last album sounded really influenced by Hell Hath No Fury. Odd future does not sound traditionally like Cali music. J Cole sounds more NY.

people will support it or not. It won't be a big deal in a few years because well become used to it
