NYC Black culture is a joke compared to the South..which is one of the main issues
see in the south where nikkaz aint deluded in this illusion of "
racism doesnt exist anymore" idea blacks are in the south are usually more supportive of artists in their area
And aside from the gang culture of LA they are always willing to support up n comers
NY hip hop's problem is NY itself
NYC doesnt have its own identity because it has taken in too many identities to begin with so its difficult for a large group of NYers to support an artist as a figurehead for NY collectively
Another problem is Ny's resistance to revolutionary concepts
I listen to alot of these up n comers in NY and its for the most part its just meh
Its either artists who are merely adopting and recreating music of da south without any tweaks
or its artists who merely make songs using flows and cadences that i couldve heard 20 years ago
Sometimes I jus be listening and jus be like
COTDAMM
Can somebody anybody in dis damn city make revolutionary music..music that utilizes unique or new flows, new ideas, new ways to structure song, new topics, ANything
Thats why I be
when i see these dumass nikkaz
for some
new camron songs that sound outdated as fck or dem G unit
remixes
I fck wit Asap doe..atleast he tryna do what im talm bout..he adopts some elements of houston in his vocabulary and cadence butmixes it up with some retro NY elements..and making it his own
I jus wish there were more NY artists to really change sht
But Im not worried bout this NY comeback sht..I appreciate and like alot of southern artists to complan
