Houston started the souths takeover for hip hop and no one recognizes it

[BrothaZay]

ATL had some hot acts in da early 2000s but it was HOUSTON in the mid 2000s that COMPLETELY shifted the focus from every other coast to all eyes on Screwston.

After that ATL became hot and the south been on fire since

man i wish the world could've seen them houston nikkas in their prime

by the time they hit the mainstream, they just wasnt the same

 

[28 Gramz]

Nah. It was a combination of the Crunk movement, Lil Wayne, TI, Jeezy all emerging at the same time as A list stars and NY falling the fukk off.

 

[PhonZhi]

Nah, I think Houston blew up around 05 with Still Tippin' right?

This song was HUGE in 03 and started the south's reign imo

shyt was amazing. The Houston mainstream height only probably lasted 2-3 years max before tons of people siphoned the style and acted like they created it themselves, but it was dope. I still listen to a lot of their new stuff today, but the Houston stuff coming out between 98-05 was great (hell, rap music in general tbh)

ATL been hot since the early 90's breh. Kriss Kross and TLC set the game on fire in 1992, outkast came in like 93 or 94. ATL been had the south crown. The 05 Houston run ended because the industry started hating on the H, it's like they wanted ATL to be the only remaining major hip hop hub in the south. Dallas need to get put on. They music is lit and it been lit. Jewish execs want to keep the spot light on Atlanta cuz them Texas nikkas too smart business wise and won't get ripped off, which means less money for them cacs.

I guess this is a good a place as any to put the video here. People took a lot of shyt from Houston and ran with it never paying respect. Slim still doing his thing down here and we have spitters. I'll put Kyleon on any track with any nikka in the industry and he'll murder them. Check out that Slim Thug podcast The Connect on youtube and they talk about all this shyt.
