I'm starting to see NY, bout to Run shyt in a few years...

[BodeineBrazy]

New York will never come back as long as we are jocking somebody else style...cats need to study the masters...and stop trying to be what they not...when G Funk blew up we didn't copy that...we reevaluate what made us great and grew from that...NYC wanna make a comeback...study Biggie, Nas,Wu, Mobb Deep..that whole Era...and grow from that...

that was 20 years ago... hip hop doesnt sound that way anymore.

thats like telling Fabolous that he should have came out rapping like Whodini. Ya'll don't even really listen to these young guys music. Cuz they styles are very distinct and their own.

The problem with NY rap is fans not being able to let go of the past.

Listen to Don Q, he sounds like who down south. Thats a straight NY young wild nikka SPITTING. Art is reflective of the time.

NY will win being CURRENT. It's not jacking someone elses style. Was Ice Cube jacking Public Enemy's style? They have to stay with the times and put the NY spin on things to win.

No try to rap in time machine. Only oldheads and cac's want to hear that.

This is better than anything posted in this thread thus far. and I aint even fukking with Retch (his voice is borderline woat)



My advice: find whoever made that beat (HNIC) and make more heat with someone who has a better voice. Get creative or just give up.

Tweaking is Chicago shyt? We've been saying that in NY for as long as I can remember.

I find it funny how y'all choose to ignore all the NY slang in GS9's music. Lit, wavy, littesha, zoe, wilding, shmoney, you-know, etc.

Stop it bruh, stop acting like them nikkas don't go out they way to sound like us, Bobby even said when he got out of jail all his nikkas was on some Chicago shyt so just followed suit. There would be no Bobby without drill

New York finally feels like a hip hop breeding ground again. There's a lot moving on the scene

 

[How Sway?]

you might have a point but i guarantee that rapper will get on by using another region's sound (ie bobby shmurda)
Troy ave was the last great hope and we all know what happened with that.

NY rap is not JUST BOOM BAP. NY rap has always been about partying, having fun and getting fresh with a little content thrown in. Nas, Jay, Big etc. was not rapping over dusty Joey Bada$$ beats. I don't ever remember hearing Showbiz and AG on my block, or any of that weak Boom Bap shyt tbh. I get confused how THAT became "THE NEW YORK SOUND" but whatever. Thats another topic.

Yeah, but none of that shyt you posted was about having fun, getting fresh, and had very little content

Just a bunch of New Yorkers making that same drill, ATL sounding music and videos as everyone else

Thread is disrespectful to the legacies of Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, LL, Heavy D, Salt N Pepa, Biz Markie, Kid & Play, Red Hot Lover Tone, Kwame, Chubb Rock, Rob Bass, Special Ed, ect. ect.

Folks who made dope, feel good party records, and stayed original

Don't try and use them as an excuse for this wave ridin trash

Guess you missed the part where I put ", ATL"
But to answer your question, I did listen to the nikka, and he sounds like he's ridin Dej Loaf's wave.

He's copyin a broad from Detroit and y'all are cosigning him?

There's nothing original about any of the artists that you posted

That's the problem.

For all you youngins with your theories on what NY hip hop is supposed to be, I don't have the answer to that, but I do know one thing, there was a time when most self respecting New Yorkers placed individuality, uniqueness, and being fresh (not looking/sounding like what everyone else says is fresh, but FRESH (NEW)) over damn near everything

Hurts my heart to see y'all like this..

This.

The problem with the city right now, isn't that it doesn't sound like back in the days, it's just that everything either sounds generic, like another region or like everything else that's dropping in the city. You used to be able to have 20 different MC's, and get 20 different styles. Being original was a requirement. If you sounded like someone else, you had to go. You'd be Uptown and hear Showbiz & AG's "Party Groove" one minute, and then hear G Rap's "Ill Street Blues" coming out of a car the next minute. Everyone had their own lane and their own sound.

That's what's missing. And until we get ourselves back to the point where dudes are willing to step away from what they hear everyone else doing, and be original, the city won't move.

I do agree with @ISO in that YBz and YGz were making hood videos on youtube before drill music got national attention.. back in 2011 2010. i think it was just a nationwide trend but it was esp popular in ny and chicago for whatever reason.

I guess the difference is that chicago nikkas also made videos for their music(which was really just gangbanging over a beat ) that eventually became known as the drill scene, while most ny nikkas would just record themselves on the block and that was it.
