Because Philly niccas can rap eighty zillion bars from dusk to dawn but can rarely make a quality song. Very few of em are artistic. Very few are unique. With the exception of Black Thought and Will Smith DA GAWD, you can throw all of those niccas in the same generic category.

I use to fukk with alot of philly underground artist like 10 years ago.They had alot of buzz back then(kinda like how chicago is buzzing right now) but them nikkas never made no songs, they just spit 1000 bars over a instrumental.

The only one I still listen to is Quilly Millz

Its sad to see how much Joey Jihad fell off, I use to think that boy was gonna be a star

I saw some interview of this nikka on youtube and he was looking like a straight fiend...shyt was sad


Edit: here go the interview





I dont know what that nikka was on but it might have been a blessing that he got booked for a minute

the city of philadelphia is not a breeding ground for effeminate swag fags. they not getting shine in the modern rap game.

and @ who said philly dudes can't rap.

Nuff said.
We don't make that bubblegum waka gucii pop rap lil wayne shyt.. and as a result mainstream media chooses to ignore the city's real talent.
I'm glad people in here are recognizing the real though.. and that is, when we do put out an artist, they are usually always talented.

 

[WheresWallace]

My boy just put out an LP, Italian dude..check it out

Yeah, call us moolies and then steal the culture...

Nah, I'm cool...

i love philly a lot. my girl is from there. my dad is from there. great city, love visiting. but somehow, some way, philly is terrible at producing musicians. i have played gigs in philly and they were chill but all the bands we played with were horrible. not sure why but it has always been that way. the punk scene is good but the bands are bad. as for the rappers, meek mill seems to be "the one" but he has a couple tracks (if that). make a song.

this is no PGH vs. PHL thing, i have mad love for philly but everyone there is all the time. no clue why, aside from having a colossal chip on their shoulders from being in NYC's shadow. and once again, not hating, NYC is fine but who cares about it. i live 6 hours from both and have had plenty of good times in both cities. shyt i will be in philly this weekend having a good old time.

The only people who think of philly as being in NY's shadow are people not from Philly..In Philly New York is rarely mentioned EVER. Unless it to go see some tourist shyt. Philly really stays with its own borders..which might be the problem.

everytime i asked someone about Philly it always came down to some crabs in a barrel response and that most can't make the proper transition from just rapping to making good songs.

Peedi should have been a star though.

both Hov and him fumbled......if Philly stop dik eating HOV maybe somebody would come up.....HOV trashed the whole rap scene and philly still love the camel...i dont get it

 

[Goatpoacher]

Philly underground has been the shyt. From Lost Children of Babylon and Jedi Mind Tricks, Chief Kamachi and Reef, Viro the Virus, Jak Frost, Arrakis Records, etc.
