Respectfully, who are the stars from the last 20 years?
Ice Spice
Pop Smoke
I say this as someone who wants NYC to return to prominence, reinventing their own sound, and get hip hop out of this quasi-pop, sing songy, BS
Now the NY has been irrelevant and dead for over twenty years can we all agree the south killed hip hop?

How are Nicki and Cardi not stars lol
How is Asap Rocky not a star?
Even Aboogie got 3 certified platinum albums and several platinum singles. Heck he has a diamond single
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Earns First RIAA Diamond Single With Kodak Black Collab - HipHopDX
The New York rapper once made a staggeringly precise prediction regarding the song.

Fair, I was legit asking, b/c couldn't think of any.How are Nicki and Cardi not stars lol

Cardi and Nicki are absolutely stars and probably superstars as their nearly household names outside of hip hip. ASAP is/was a star too. A Boogie has a diamond song which is wild b/c I wouldn't say he's a star, but I can't argue w/ the #s.
My only issue with them is besides Nicki & Cardi's accents you wouldn't be able to tell they're from NYC, but that's my overall issue is that NYC lost it's sound b/c the industry/mainstream sound shifted to down south. I miss being able to hear a song/artist and immeadiately knowing they were from NYC and even which borough. But that isn't NYC's fault, everyone was chasing the new sound to pop in clubs which was ATL.
^everybody sounds like everybody now.
This Whole Album was a Eulogy that still stands and the worst song is a who done it that's the central point of this thread 
, Fukking brilliant G.O.A.T shyt
A neg rep clown with Camron in his avi made this thread. 
Cam rapped corny ass shyt over the Golden Girls theme music.

100%
West coast still sounds west coast. Lousiana still has it's sound for the most part, etc.
regionalism is there in the underground. Plenty of underground NYC rappers that are instantly identifiable as NYC artists.
But on a mainstream level, everyone doing the same shyt and it's bland af.
New York hip-hop artists definitely need to get back to being the pioneers and leaders and being unique
remember in NY rap where if you copied another rapper's style it was a he11 worthy sin ??
It was called "biting", lol
But NY rap needs to reclaim it's own identity, enough following the South and drill
when NY was on top, hip-hop was in good hands, everybody ducked with it
I'm not not even being biased because I had zero problem with West Coast rap when it rose to prominence
but when the Southern/ATL simplistic music took over in the 2000s hip-hop took an L
even The Game said he was tired of hearing nothing but ATL music...and he's from Cali
The South in the 2000s killed hip-hop, it is what it is

Very true, but yeah...it's beautiful and ugly at the same time ..
Disagree with this and a lot of things you've said in here.
breh, I have zero problems disagreeing, one of the philosophies I live by is "agree to disagree"
it's a beautiful Saturday miday(not in NY right now)
listened to an old Canibus, DMX, and Nore freestyle session, it's all good
but I stand by everything I said, I don't post for daps on shock value, I put thought into my posts, unless I'm making jokes
enjoy your Saturday

As @Wild self has been posting for years, when stripper culture in hip hop started dictating & took the forefront in it is when we started to see the spiral downward.
Also when gate keepers were removed from it & nikkas wanted to start handing out participation awards instead of calling someone wack is another reason

Leave the Midwest out of it. We tried
Muthafukkas really let hoes and p*ssy dictate a MASCULINE culture to fukkery and parody.
