Sounds like Def Loaf, a mid west artist. Major influence, a kid from Canada who also came up trying to ride the Southern wave
Now, Young M.A. is biting Kevin Gates?
What about Young MA is more New York than New Orleans? I think you got your New's mixed up.
Don't nit pick and try to argue one point. I said low riders, gold grills and lean. Not just gold grills. You know exactly what I meant and I know you are a pretty smart poster. Don't play games.
They mention em....people are into em....
As for mentioning low riders.....theres been tons and tons of examples of you guys doing it in songs from Puffy Daddy to Jim Jones to 50 cent. Bloods being in Atlanta means nothing because we are not talking about Atlanta here. You are trying to do a classic mis-direction. Bloods and Crips being in NYC since 97 doesn't mean it's okay or it is something New York. That still is and always be associated with Los Angeles.
Regionalism isn't dead. And people always liked what they liked. People loved Eastcoast records in LA during the supposed West vs East. That's not the point. New York rappers trying to sound like Southern rappers is getting more and more popular....selling out their sound and roots....
SchoolBoy Q and YGs albums do not sound like Gucci Mane and Futures. Period. Regional sounds and styles are not 'dead'
If we are basing things off the kids then again it's rappers like Lil Uzi Vert (Philly) and Lil Yauchty (Atlanta) are who we should be talking about....

Failure is not a option
This clown A Boogie done stole a females flow.
We all know about Designer stealing Future flow and cadence with no shame.
Is NYC hiphop turning to the Republican party?
...nikkas see NY cooking

dude is avg but son buzzing hard y'all nikkas need to get of ny daily nutsack and wake the fukk up already this the internet age nothing is the same..there are very few original artists breaking new sounds or flows and everybody is just cloning and sharking everybody else's wave it ain't just ny it's everyone sharkng everyone. it's the time period we in and if anything all rappers are clones of ny for rapping in the first place

Kevin Gates don't get play in NY, he's not a popular rapper among youth here. Why you comparing them what similiarities they got other than being tatted and Rican? You're basing Young M.A. off one track a lot of her shyt is very "traditional"...
This is Kevin Gates to you?
NY Bloods are different from Cali Bloods. United Blood Nation was founded in Rikers Island in the early 90's so inmates could protect themselves from other gangs. I mean we're talking about a gang that's existed in NY for damn near 25 years. I remember growing up my moms would tell me to be careful on Halloween because Bloods would slice people for initiation. This is a part of NY street culture.
Regionalism is dead because it doesn't matter where you're from anymore. Slang and all that has spread nationwide. This is the internet age. If it's not dead why do so many artists sound like they from somewhere else?
-you said A Boogie sounds midwestern like Dej Loaf, when Dej isn't a traditional Detroit artist and can be categorized as Southern. I know Detroit for having rappers that can spit like Eminem and Dilla beats...
-you yourself said Drake was a Canadian who got hot off a Southern style. From what I've seen Toronto rappers pre-Drake rapped in a street NY punchline style...
-you said Shmurda bit Keef when Keef is from Chicago. If I'm not mistaken Chicago was known for neo soul rap like Kanye/Lupe/Common and fast spitters like Twista/Do or Die/Crucial Conflict. Keef makes drill which is basically trap music with Chicago gang banging thrown in...
If you really think about it you're contradicting yourself...
These dudes aren't trying to sound like anyone they're a reflection of the times. A Boogie "My shyt" is what a NY hit record sounds like in 2016. All these kids are a representation of NY.

Who shunned them in NY other than corny
nikkas who was talking that regional B.S.?Because the youth in NY didn't. Live.Love.A$AP was the tape to smoke to, dudes was changing they social media names adding A$AP to their names. Shabba and Work by Ferg got mad love in the city.
Rocky stopped jacking Harlem and started fukking with SoHo/London/Beverley Hills. Yams died, Rocky dropped an experimental album, Ferg fell off. Rocky still a star.

Point is things change. What you grew up on and whats coming out 2016 is not the same. Which is why all you diccheads is in here complaining.

I don't think it's about old versus young. It's most of these dudes are just wack. The old heads were raised in an era where the standard was higher for MC's. There were rules. One of them being that you couldn't sound like anyone else. Another, you had to actually be dope. People just wanna hear something that sounds new, and not like everything else that's out now. That's what's missing.
Standard's were definitely higher back than. Cats weren't cool with other MCs copying their skills to the T. I remember when Shyne first came out, NYC and everyone was hating until they realized the flows and content was way different from BIG.
