I'm cool with one of the execs from Livemixtapes, dude said literally 80 percent of their visitor traffic is from Atlanta.
I was like damn, Atlanta nikkas might really love rap music more than everybody else.
The south is like that in general. Sports and music is our thing :yeshrug:

I will say this.
The Bay Area got they own lil world out there.
They have local artist who (somewhat) support each other and stay grinding independently.

But it's crazy to me how LA cats have no idea who these dudes are outside of Mac Dre.
DC rappers don't know about Bmore rappers. Philly and NYC have two different scenes. Jersey has it's own shyt...that's why. People have self contained music scenes.
Atlanta is hot because it's a transplant town with "easy" natives. From dope dealing to music, people with money and connections can go there and make shyt work for them...
nikka said strip clubs...Miami has a deeper strip club culture than the A...in fact...Atlanta got its' strip club culture and its' original offering to hip hop FROM Miami...(you know, atl bass music? It's miami bass.)...Miami, Memphis, Detroit, etc are the reason why atlanta is hot. A lot of Atl styled rappers living there are transplants with fake accents..like Waka.

They have the producers. And they're just quicker when it comes to innovating and progressing current styles
Shawty redd is from Detroit.
Zaytoven is from the Bay.
Lex Luger is from VA.

They molded the modern production in atlanta...invented it. Now people are following their lead. So no, they're not quicker innovating anything. People move down there and make them hot.

Atlanta has open space and a scene for producers...they're not innovating shyt frfr.

Ugly ass nikkas always say "Somebody musta fukked your bytch". Naw. On the contrary, I've fukked a few ATL bytches who I thought were action and y'all nikkas get mad. Too bad you can't do shyt outside of your city. RIP Philant LOL. #OHIOUP.

He partly right though. The transplant culture in Atlanta is a big reason for its success. But its not the only reason. And Atlanta has a culture of its own, LIKE EVERYWHERE ELSE.

I am 30 and I was raised in atlanta, and it was because of the transplant culture and the circuit and the strip clubs. The amount of black people here in one place, from ALL OVER THE SOUTH. The south is not as developed as the rest of the country. The only MAJOR and growing urban centers are ATLANTA and Charlotte. And Charlotte is new. lol.

Everyone from all over the south comes to atlanta. Not just to live. But to shop. You should see the parking lot of Ikea or Lenox on a saturday.

And when an artist is big in Atlanta. He tours the whole south and is big in the south. But usually artist get hot where they are from and come to atlanta to hit the circuit and work records.


So the fact that Atlanta is the Center/top of the chitlin circuit is why it constantly has what seems to be artist from atlanta. Our Music business network extends the whole south. Not Just atlanta. Not just Miami. Because of the freeways.

Atlanta is better for the circuit than Miami because Miami is at least 8 Hours from every other state line. Atlanta is less that 2 Hours from Most of its closest capitols an major cities in the south. 4 hours to charlotte.

Lol are these nikkas even relevant anymore? Nobody's beats sound like these nikkas anymore. This aint 2010 nikka and Zay and Shawty will claim ATL before they claim they hometown...

Them definitely the OGs but nikkas like Southside, Metro and London craft the Atl sound these days and they shyt is nothing alike the old school zay sound

Its not just strip clubs or radio. Atlanta is just seen as cool much like NYC use to be and nikkas are willing to help each other.

Yachty, Awful, Two9, Key!, etc "blew up" via The Internet, not clubs. nikkas from the A took Soulja's blueprint and ran with it.
