Miami had a balance when Raider Klan was out.RZA is not wrong. The 5% influence in NY resulted in alot of great and thoughtful art.
I’m from Atlanta, but I must say our influence in the game is borderline embarrassing for the most part. When you only care about dancing and catering to birds, your art will suffer.
Two cities that should never be the Mecca of Hip Hop is Miami number one and Atlanta number two.
There is just too much accepted buffoonery in these cities for them to take leadership.
He is right that Atlanta’s current music scene caters to strippers, crash outs , and tricksGet off they dikk and show some respect for yourself
They also brought c00ning ass mafioso and shiny suit bullshyt to the game
Most of them nikkas weren't even living that 5% lifestyle forreal. The whole wu was shermed the fukk out and running trains on broads but you acting like they was the poor righteous teachers
They made some dope music though
But don't get it fukked up like atlanta ain't been delivering that shyt either
Which it shouldn’t have to be as the city has a wealth of black history and accolades that can be articulated over a nice instrumental

Welcome to hip hop
Every region has had party music be the face of its mainstream
You forgot yall goat literally had a song called party and bullshyt
Jay shyt on nas for being a conscious rapper. Yall treat backpack rap like some lames. But now you want other regions to make nothing but arrested development jams
All I can say is, yall better be the first ones in a new Kenny Mason, earthgang, or cyhi album thread. And it better go plat

This is the answer really. Its not a East vs South thing. Its a American thing.
Sex Money Violence Drugs Power Fame
Thats a American thing. Its not region locked to parts of the country.
Word to the westerns and mafia flicks before hip hop was even a thing. Grand Theft Auto is America's most successful game. Its in all forms of media.

You a ny nikka now. You wanna be down with them clowns, right? So stay thereWho’s y’all? I am from the Metro Atlanta Area
I always hated the argument that the south is responsible for dumbing down rap and killing lyricism when the top southern artists at the time NY fell off was all better lyricists than the top NY rappers from the same era. T.I., Wayne, Rick Ross and Jeezy all had bars. I seen it said on here Jeezy wasn't lyrical but he was always clever and quotable, dude was way nicer than anyone from his generation in NY that had any commercial success.
But RZA quote is accurate in context. For a long time there was a lane in NY hip hop where you could get sell records and get label support being primarily a lyricist and not chasing crossover hits. NY radio and the mixtape DJs stopped supporting those artists and forced those artists to go independent. They gave more support to other regions and the only local artists getting play was jocking those regions or chasing a super commercial sound. But he not blaming anyone for that other than New York radio, DJs and artists themselves that, they responsible for losing their identity.

In the 90's NYC Hip Hop was the trendsetters. In the 2000's NYC became followers and have been followers ever since.
The fall off can also be contributed to NYC Hoods basically going full Blood and Crip. NYC lost a lot of authenticity once they adopted LA gang Culture. Now they have no identity musically. Just copying the next hot thing

Cash Money and No Limit would've never blown up on their merit without NY radio minimizing Wu first.
