I dont really see it as trying to "bring the 90's back", but actually tryin to restore an authentic New York/ East Coast sound which has been dead the past decade...
French Montana sound like a south nikka
Rocky has the whole Houston influence
Jim Jones is basically a south like artist
only real East Coast "sound" has been a 40+ year old CEO the past 10 years
The East Coast "sound" can't really be defined by anyone because the East hasn't really used it. It's a dated sound. Why does every NY song need to sound like "DWYCK" in order for it to be a NY style song? That old school NY sound doesn't fit what people in NY listen to or what our tastes are. You're not gonna find nikkas in 20 degree weather rockin Champion hoodies rubbing up against each other for body heat with baseball bats and 2 x 4's near an abandoned building bobbing their heads to boom bap. We're past this. We'd rather be going ham in the club listening to some faster paced MMG sounding shyt, and boom bap in 2012 just doesn't fit the atmosphere that everyone wants around them.
So what the fukk does he helping artists get on have to do with "industry plant"?..first off u cconfused me wit another dude..second u talkin straight up nonsense..nikka u dont know me...u aint expose nothin but urself for hatin and shyttin on a fukkin teenager when theres plenty more other "artists" way worse to shyt on...u sayin him being managed by Shipes makes him some kind of an industry plant is fukkin stupid..and shows YOU dont know anything about how the industry works...nikka its ALWAYS been and ALWAYS WILL BE about WHO u know..not WHAT u know...so aint shyt no damn revelation...u dont know me g..just keep it at that..I dont got a prob wit u..I just disagree wit u..nothin more..nothin less...Give it up son, I exposed ya shyt. If your from New York and dont even know who Johnny Shipes is, there's no way you can be involved on a professional or serious level. You and ya homeboys recording music in ya basement doesnt count
Shipes is a pretty big staple in the underground NY scene, he even helped get Currensy situated with DD172 and em back in the day. He was behind all them collabs between Currensy, DZA, Krit, and Nip

Shipes lowkey was behind Nipsey Hussle (Bullets aint got no name was sponsored by him), Big Krit (n his whole REAL southerner music sthcik), now he is trying to do this shyt wit Badass. Its all jus marketing. And ya dumbassess are falling for it like some fukkin children. But its wateva man calm down b, I aint trying to hurt your lil dream of wat this really is.
to the nikka Rominati, go back and read your posts and tell me you dont sound like a hater. You bashing a teenager who just came out the gate, a baby in the game, than comparing him to artists you think are better and should be repping NY.
You sound like one or the other: a label rep, who missed the opp to sign Joey or a bum ass rapper, who cant get on after Shipes threw your demo in the trash, right before he scooped Joey up in whatever expensive vehicle he was driving that day.
I know youre gonna respond and say, "whatever nikka, i aint no hater, refer to whatever post and question have i read anything you posted in this very thread."
If you feel that way go back and read your all your posts and you sound like you hating on son

i wouldnt say he sucks, but his "bring boom bap hip hop" gimmick is not going to work for him well.

I wish.
Im jus a nikka from NY. Who wants to see his region properly repped. Not no gimmick rappers or concept rappers. Check all my threads in the spot. Its me offering critizicism on ALL NY rappers. From 50 to Maino, to Diddy to Jay. I guess everyone else agreeing with me are frustrated rappers and A&Rs too huh

You must not know who Johnny Shipes is do you
He a jewish A&R who is in new york. nikka was behind numerous artists over the past decade. From Nipsey, to Smoke Dza, to Big Krit. His whole stitch is "real hip hop artist"
