/thread

Repped .it’s this simple OP

 

[BossMobb]

Jermaine talking about HIMSELF not all southern nikkas. Even Nas himself said Southern nikkas ain’t slow.


Jay Electronica is a southern rapper with Nas’s aura in his lyrical DNA. Scarface loves Nas. Ludacris loves Nas. Rick Ross loves Nas. Killer Mike loves Nas. Hell MIGOS fukks with Nas.


I’ve been to five Nas concerts in my life. All in Atlanta. All sold out. The south fukks with Nas.

this is spot on. I’m from NC, some of Nas’ biggest fans reside here. I think Esco has a lot of fans in NC, GA and Florida

jermaine is a legend but he is also a fukkin idiot. he's never consistent & all over the place like a female. remember, this is the man that made it a point to congratulate mims for "being a new york artist who gets it" because he created this is why i'm hot lmao. meaning, fukk making substantive records, make ringtone rap devoid of any substantive lyrics en route to a #1 billboard hot 100 record. then you turn around and say you love biggie, tupac, and hov who are the antithesis of mims aka the predecessor to lil pump. c'mon bro

then he low key tries to shyt on the south about intellect in hip hop. obviously i'm from new york but i hate that he's even remotely giving nutrition to that false narrative about my south nikkas. what he means to say is that wu tang, mobb deep, and first album jazzy boom bap nas is only car music for the northeast let's keep it a buck. everywhere else in the country those kind of beats & hooks are not even third choice. you were not chillin in houston in 1995 and see nikkas with the candy paint bumpin raekwon criminology in the parking lot lol. take the military for instance, which was dominated by the south, when we was off up in the nco club the quickest way to clear the dance floor was to play mobb deep white lines... lil kim version or not. when you think nas music, even the commercial hits, it doesn't rank beat wise with what biggie & hov generally delve into sonically so it makes sense. in other words? danceable. pac was a prophet & preacher but rapped over beats hoes could dance to. in new york we have a culture post-1990 that didn't prioritize danceable music to rap over which is why in the early 90's when clubbing there was way more dancehall reggae & uptempo r&b played than rap. puff said fukk it and shifted the paradigm here heavy with bad boy but i digress.....

but nikka, don't say we from the south & it's too rappity rap like nikkas are too dumb to decipher the bars. of course all southern nikkas understand nas lyrics & respect his genius. but were nikkas really interested is the question. well not completely disinterested, but definitely not on par with other artists which is more than fine. and lmao @ this nikka saying king push be rappin about his life. oh, you was in the field now jermaine? exactly what part of push's coke raps applied to you jd? damn this nikka is silly sometimes. amazingly gifted in both hip hop & r&b but carries himself like an idiot

 

[boskey]

Now that you brought up Scarface I would say the old school southern rappers didn’t sound “slow” to me at all. Well at least the main stream ones

Yeah people need to speak for themselves instead of making generalizations. I never like when people from the south or not from the south say “we don’t care about lyrics like that”. Cuz Scarface, 8ball and MJG, Dungeon Fam, UGK, Trick Daddy etc were all spitters. Your basically selling them short and it sends the wrong message to young artists and fans. Your music can bump and you can still be a dope writer it’s not either/or

Exactly. guys like Mystikal or Pimp C were spittin' harder and more clever shyt than many of these eastcoast rappidy rappy ass bums, while havin' an unique captivating style at the same time. fukk Nature, Fu Schnickens, Cru, most of Wu fam and those cats, nothin' special bout em

You had time today.

 

[CrimsonTider]

@CrimsonTider, i need your opinion on this?

Nas music is simple and surface level

JD speaks for himself

 

[spliz]

So. For people shytting on Pap’s opinion in that other thread. See what he was sayin now?

 

[Deoji]

JD says a lot of stupid shyt.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I can’t take nothing JD says about hip hop seriously. Not disrespect to him but his biggest contributions to hip hop have been Kriss Kross, Bow Wow and Da Brat


Now if we talking R&B that’s different
