Hate to say it but the East Coast is the weakest region lyrically in modern day

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Yall aint had a lyricst since Joey and even he wasn't the top of his generation

It's always kendrick or cole wouldn't be considered top tier in as strong era. But yall do realize yall are admitting that ny rap is lyrically weak af when you say that

Cause it's only a "weak era" when a NY ain't on top

Yeah I really don't know who is lyrical out here in 2024 as a new act. Not one from like a decade ago.

The south

Cordae, Aaron May, nle choppa (when he actually raps instead of being a jbo nikka), denzel curry, and Kenny Mason

That's because hip hop isn't regional anymore. Back in the day every region had their own sound. You could hear a song & instantly tell where it came from. Now damn near everything has the same sound (at least mainstream-wise).

We are now, but ny nikkas been saying it's a weak era since the early 2000s while there were plenty of great lyricists and classics being dropped

Ny just been washed since snoop came through and crushed the buildings
