Maino Message To NY Rappers: "N*ggas Here In My City Soft. It's So Sweet Here"

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

If you didnt live through the crack era and see the effect it had on the community then you cant accurately speak on it.

Your comparison of now to then reeks of trying to hard out of a desperation to relive times that werent worth reliving. It wasnt anything to glorify. When rap switched from being the hood news reporting it to millionaires and studio gangsters recording it Hip Hop lost it's authenticity.

If things are as bad as you want to make them out to be, pull up some stats on crime to prove it. OR if you're really about that hood life and in the streets, log off and go outside. shyt should be popping out there right now? Right?

The fact of the matter is you're displaying typical nikka behavior by lashing out at what you don't understand because you're either too lazy to read my posts or you can't comprehend how a nikka can be from the hood and not be pro-violence and ignorance. I never once implied that I longed for the days of senseless violence to return to NYC, In Oakland California the violence is as bad as it's ever been which is why the FBI ranks us as being the 3rd most dangerous city in America in 2013 for the 3rd year in a row http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...ities-in-america_n_3478091.html#slide=2595132.

90% of the nikkas I grew up with parents were effected by crack either from a consumer or distribution standpoint. So your dumbass statement about the crack era being over is pretentious at best and ignorant at worst. And what exactly does being about that hood life means? You need to read before you reply if you care to avoid these kinds of sonnings in the future.

you stay sucking up to Maino like you're posting under duress and shyt. He's not that good.

Corny tweet. Where did I once say Maino was a good rapper? That wasn't the point of my post. I was talking about the Mafia, the group and Push! and Lucky are that good.

As far Maino, he's an ehhh rapper, but he's a real nikka. And I saw grind all the way from the bottom, to being a successful rapper in the industry. I respect that way more than a slightly better rapper than him, rapping about shyt they never did. But you nerds, love that shyt. So, respect to y'all.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Stop makin southern hip hop, NYC. That goes for you too, Maino

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

Maino talks so much shyt & has done NOTHING in music...

 

[Atlrocafella]

Giuliani and Bloomberg got they feet on niccas necks

just vulgar.

 

[The War Report]

Good points. I can see how a nikka would be mad tho, NYC was thriving when he was locked up. That hardcore shyt was in heavy rotation, he gets out of jail and gets a deal then 50 destroys the NYC rap scene and reduces it to rubble only to have this kind of shyt blow up.

It ain't no different than Cam rocking all pink. Harlem dudes are just a little extra with the fashion. Rocky is just on the Euro fashion tip. Hip Hop started with dudes rocking outlandish get ups, so I don't know the point you're trying to make. And that goon shyt in the 00's is what killed NYC rap. Every fukking rapper had to be harder than the next one and there wasn't any versatility anymore. You had nothing but dusty, grimey talentless looking nikkas diluting shyt. Even mafioso rap wasn't something everyone could do. NYC should of never veered away from the boom bap/jazz sound but evolved it.

 

[FreshAIG]

Can't really compare Cam to Rocky. When Dips first came out, out of towners saw how hard they repped Bloods and were talking in their music etc..and everyone got the impression they was the toughest nikkas in the world, even with Cam wearing pink.


Everyone thought Asap Rocky and his team was homosexuals

You nikkas still blaming 50 for NY's demise ?

FOH, So its 50's fault grown ass men couldnt make hits or make good music... Yeah he beefed with em, but saying he destroyed NY music is just absurd...

 

[Black_Jesus]

Maino speaking the truth... who cares if he's "relevant"

 

[NotaPAWG]

I literally JUST posted about this in a thread on KTT where A$AP Rocky said no one cares about New York rap anymore, and for the most part, I agree with him. That's why NY is bitin the souths sound. The younger generation is takin over, the generation that grew up on Lil Wayne and for the most part, don't respect the og's or understand the art of rapping. They much rather listen to something that sounds bangin with OK lyrics and don't have the attention span for NY's complex rhyme schemes or just haven't familiarized themselves enough with NY's sound.

Anything that even remotely sounds NYish gets seen as "dusty" and thrown to the bushes by the younger generation. The younger generation wants the Bricksquad, A$AP, and GBE sounds over this way so unless an artist is bein cosigned by someone "credible" in the industry, they don't care and are just gonna hate.

So can we really blame NY?

From an outsider perspective, and listening to NY heads speak on NY right now, it seems NY doesn't even support their own.

fukkin Vado put out a pretty solid mixtape, that features French Montana and I didn't even see French Montana tweet nothin about it!

In Oakland California the violence is as bad as it's ever been which is why the FBI ranks us as being the 3rd most dangerous city in America in 2013 for the 3rd year in a row http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...ities-in-america_n_3478091.html#slide=2595132.

You need to read before you reply if you care to avoid these kinds of sonnings in the future.

How could the violence be as bad as it's ever been when the crime rate is down? It's not even comparable to the crack era. No amount of gifs is gonna change that. In '92 at the height of the crack era there were 175 murders in Oakland. This year the cities on pace for maybe 120. What you think of as UP an epidemic is lower than 80's, early 90's that produced the golden era rappers and their subject matter.

See the difference? In DC and NY the numbers are dramatically improved since the crack era, which most reasonable people would agree ended 20 or 15 years ago. Even Chiraq with all the violence is safer than it used to be. And of course there are still crackheads and folks living with the burden of family members and friends with addictions. Its safe enough out here for rappers to wear dresses.

--------

To bring back around to the thread. These current rappers are a product of their environment. Why would anybody want to be a gangster or a thug when you could be anything else? NY rappers need to working on making good music to follow up the diss records.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

All this comes down to is Maino is old, irrelevant & @ the city because no1 likes him here.


Here's the thing about all this talk about gangsta rappers not reflecting reality anymore...Bedstuy is still the hood isit not? There's plenty of young goons out there & they rather bump Meek, but does Maino not represent them in some fashion? 'Gentrification' has only truely turned around neighborhoods that never held no weight in the ny rap game anyway, l.e.s, the heights, williamsburg etc so really what are we saying? Crime is greatly reduced but there's still a minority about that life...And the thing is they were always a minority in the hood. So if you tryna say gangsta rappers have no place in hiphop no more then they never did.

These days none of these industry plants represents where they come from, gangsta or not, because they all came up on the internet, these dudes have no grassroots movement what so ever. Asap Rocky does not represent contemporary Harlem at all but let nikkas online tell it harlem is full of skirt wearing hipsters

50 arguable destroyed 3 prominent NYC labels by himself. Murder Inc, Ruff Ryders, Diplomats.

The crime rate in Oakland California is ascending not descending, murder rate is only a fraction of crime that's measured. Robberies and Assaults have gone up.

With a crime rate of 71 per one thousand residents, Oakland has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes ...

You have a 1 in 59 chance of becoming a victim of violence in Oakland. If that's your definition of things getting better than we can agree to disagree.
