The point is u making it seem like NY is all boom bap when all they artists have compromised they sound to fit into whats popular right now which is that bouncy/trippy southern style.
Ya'll aint say nothin, but Bada$$ come with a more "traditional" sound and ya'll throw duke under the bus

fukking sucks.
His hype is completley manufactured. nikka is jus a faux paut attempt of appealing to the "Real 90s" Hip Hop niche of the market. Lil kid is 17 but he knows all about the 90s huh, I bet he prolly dont even know the first song off The Lords of the Underground debut CD.
I was holding my tounge cuz son is from NY, but when I sat and watched his videos, all I can see was a marketing strategy of "Bringin Real Hip Hop Back!!"
Corny as fukk. Tha rap game is about being yourself and doing you, in the 90s that 90s shyt was acceptable cuz, well it was the 90s
Be yourself man .You gotta come harder than that youngin, you gotta come harder than that
I feel you, but at the same time to me being 20 it makes sense
Alot of us young cats today even tho we couldn't fully appreciate the piffness of the 90's while it came out back tracked and were just left
at the quality of music and tbh there's tons of young niccas just like me that from around 04-09-10 were almost exclusively bumpin 90's because the Hip-Hop coming out at that time simply wasn't up to par, so we have this nostalgic feeling to Snapback(who you really think brought Snaps back nicca
? young niccas) Michael Jordan (and his shoes) and 90's rap in general
I outgrew my whole "90's rap or 90's music is the best ever made i can't listen to anything else" fase but I know there's ALOT of young cats out there still feeling that, nd being that Joey BAD is 17 I can relate to why he's making music over those type of beats
On the other hand him rapping over 90's instrumentals and trying to be a "real hip hop" type of rapper is the same reason why I can't listen to him everyday
Just to put it in perspective for you breh

What you are arguing about is another problem with New York itself. But it still has nothing to do with my orginal statement/arguement.
The problem with NY hip hop is that it is scared to do something different. Cats either are falling back on the safety net of dikkriding the south movement. Or are too scared to step out on there own and run back like a lil scared kitten to that "stuck in the 90s" sound. There are numerous problems with NY with right now. This thread was jus stating one of em

You guys make it sound like the beats are on some 36 chambers/Illmatic tip, when the beats do sound very modern with the mains elements of the boom bap style production.
Did any of the naysayers listen to 1999 at all?

nikka not even that nice with the spit either. I was looking at him at the BET cypher like
BET Cypher 2012 (A$AP ROCKY, Childish Gambino, Driicky Graham, Angel Haze, & Joey Bada$$) - YouTube
nikka needs to find another gimmick, that 90s shyt not gon last him thru 2013
i never seen thisall those nikkaz spit
MegaTronBomb!
Power is in my hair nikka
dude isn't that nice... he clearly is one of them hipster dudes that obsess over the 90's, but doesnt really know shyt about the 90's.
but he's from NY, and this is the latest " we bringing NYC back" rapper to get behind so i see why he's getting a buzz.

Wtf is this, New York dont even fukking look like this anymore
fukk what it look like, is the music dope tho? Yup
Also I agree with NY being unoriginal stunting the city's growth, but I dont understand how ya'll faulting a nikka from NY sounding like a traditional NY artist.
[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb-E3EuIfn8[/ame] K.R.I.T is a 2012 artist and his shyt sound like music I heard over a decade ago in the south...
Why u give him a pass...cause that style isnt played out yet?

Wtf is this
I mean Cot damn do you see this sht...
This nikka trying so hard with this 90 shtick its almost sad
Theres a lot of rappers who were dropping heat at 17, who more importantly werent completely stealing other rappers blueprints to do itHave you heard Waves, and the kid is only 17
I pretty much said the same shyt on the old site the first time I heard dude.... his gimmick overpowers his music... its clear without it he wouldn't have shyt to say or a style to run with. Hes emblematic of the flash over substance mindset of the crackbaby generation
