Is ATL's run ever gonna end?

[Westbama Heartthrob]

The biggest rappers haven’t been from Atlanta in years

Drake
Kendrick
Cole
Cardi B
Nicki
Wayne
Travis Scott
Etc

All them nikkas pull from Atlanta. Who would Nicki be without wop?

Drake bite atl and Houston excessively

Kendrick is basically a one man outkast. If he had been born earlier, he would've fit right in with the dungeon fam

Travis Scott is a notorious biter

Cole didn't get taken serious and ditch the boring label until he started his feature run on predominantly trap instrumentals.

And the rest is pretty much a repeat of the same reasons. Rapping over trap beats and using atlanta flows

South always gonna run things. We set the standard and birth all black music. If a southern nikka aint on top of the game, it's a nikka doing his best impression. Hard they try, they're always gonna reflect it

You think that the stagnation of Trap music ia good for club culture? Those IG videos don't like; trap music makes everyone all and which makes no one happy as well as no one dancing. You really think it has 20 more years of life left?

Afrobeats, however, makes people all and : and everyone has a good time.

Afrobeat all sounds the same to me

Kinda like reggae in the way I can only listen to so much of it at a time

I dont see it becoming the dominant sound unless a lot of innovative artists come out

Trap can be derivative af, but it's miles more diverse than afrobeat

So the south invented Hip Hop?

Talk about rewriting history. South ain't gonna be running an international music scene in this current market. I came from NC a week ago. They played more Afrobeats, some Reggae, and 90s RnB at a club of people unfer the age of 30 than most of Trap. Outsode of Jeezy, Future, and a couple of Gucci Mane songs, broads were more responsive towards beats that actually makes everyone happy.

Talk about rewriting history.

Hip hop was made from biting the south

New York, which can't produce anything original, takes from a bunch of cultures and mixes them together so they look new to someone who doesn't know any better

Rapping started in the south. Came from a mix of the dozens, talk blues, and southern preachers

Read H. Rap brown's Autobiography. A lousiana native. He talks about how they used to play the dozens and signify each other. He writes out a typical verse he'd say. Rap that to any boom bap instrumental. It's facts. Southern nikkas been doing this shyt

How many classics would be left if ny nikkas aint have any southern funk and soul artists to sample. Yall still would be rapping over them kraftwerk bambatta beats

@FreshAIG did Hip Hop originate down south?

But once the global market takes away radioplay from the south/ trap music with Afrobeats or something else, you be NY status right down to the extreme hate and crabbish mentality of others doing it their way.

 

[Finesse]

The infrastructure of ATL is too strong. They look like they can easily do another 10.


I mean what other locale is even showing a chance of becoming the dominant region?

And the nikka that taught all the early DJs including Kool Herc was a country bumpkin from Winston-Salem

It's basically just acknowledged that ATL is the music capital. Too much networking there.

Southern music is undefeatable. It has too broad of an appeal and too many ways you can go with it. And clubs...south music made for clubs. Can't beat that.

It’s all South music

Even the early records being sampled was 90% Southerners

We are black America

Other countries are.pulling from Atlanta culture too lol bad bunny songs that ain't more traditional sound like songs Gunna could float on for example

 

[010101]

atl pushing the cultural equivalent of crack

it will always be preferred

the culture went south & became completely indulgent it's feel good music above all

the average individual will always go for that before the more traditional nyc up north flavor

nyc nikkas came in flexing their vocabulary & being culturally aspirational

that shyte makes most outsiders feel slow & un.fly

The only reason why the South has been on top (from a marketable preservative) for the most part is due to quantity not quality, which started with No Limit. Obviously what's considered quality is subjective however there is always a consensus among the population that can agree on one thing.

For example, Michael Jackson. Everybody and their mama knows MJ is legendary and his music no matter the years passed remains timeless there's no debating that, and most would agree that there'll never be a point in time where his music will ever be forgotten in the minds of the listeners.

Some music is eternal and others are just for the moment.

That's always been the issue with the South's Hip-Hop legacy. Many rappers have come from the South within the last few decades, selling tons of records and making lots of money but, only so few in its history have put out quality music that will stand the test of time, and a lot of the music currently coming out down there will burn out quickly and won't sound good 15-20 years from now.

The South produces more rappers than any region however historically the quality of music leaves a lot to be desired, if NYC/East Coast moved on Hip-Hop completely our music would be talked about forever until the world ends because of the quality we put out.

Secondly, Hip-Hop originates in NYC and the genre would very much likely not exist if it wasn't for 70s NYC so it doesn't matter what region (West Coast, South, or Midwest) or country you're coming just being able to rap alone you are paying homage to NY's legacy in creating this popular genre of music.

Basically, fast food music. Why no one talks about Master P's music anymore.

Its globalization. As in, international artists going to take over American airwaves soon, and the South gonna react like them NY rappers in the mid 00s when the south took their food. When you see the like of Burna Boy take over the interests of American IG hoes over a Future, is when you'll understand.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Yall nikkas keep tryna make afrobeats happen. It's not

And ny definitely not coming back on top. They had over twenty years to do it. Would've been done it if it were possible. We won

People will always dance to music meant for dancing
