Shameful and embarrassing how NYC artists and fans are stooping so low for music relevence.

[Awesome Wells]

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.

Exactly.

If you were wack, biting, or even soft by Hip Hop standards, dudes would come to your show and literally throw you off the stage. I remember Nas saying that Marley Marl told him that he sounded too much like G Rap early on, so he didn't want anyone to hear him again until he sounded more like himself. Dude became one of the best ever. You followed the rules and respected them. Today, a dude will watch videos for a year, and then come out sounding just like his favorite rapper, and he'll get by being a clone. Hip Hop lets a lot of wackness slip through the cracks these days.

Adding melody to your flow was done long time ago, it was re-popularized by Kanye and then later on Weezy.

Cats can't help that they sound like a dyke.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Nothing but biters, everwhere.

 

[untaintedbeats]

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.

Change don't = better...sometimes u gotta destroy and go back to what got you where you at....but still...I'm a hip hop fan...been a hip hop fan forever...I understand it...I know what good and bad hip hop sounds like...when a kid tells me I'm too old to understand their music...that's like telling me I'm too old to understand how to use my own two legs to walk...hip hop been apart of me...can't no youngish tell me nothing about hip hop...now if they called it something else...than I couldn't argue with them but as long as they using the name hip hop...they can't tell me nothing...

exactly.... a boogie is like 19 or 20 years old. he prob grew up listening to kanye, drake, etc...

people act like he was supposed to be listening to Channel Live and shyt when he was in middle school

i peeped new yorkers will kick that real rap shyt until one of their own artist makes midwest/south style of rap

Most young nikkas dont and have never caref about that "real rap" shyt

Sounds like Def Loaf, a mid west artist. Major influence, a kid from Canada who also came up trying to ride the Southern wave





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....

Lowriders are rare.

Damn am I out the loop that bad, this shyt got 2 mill views and I never heard of dude

im not watching a muthaphuking thing except my hand smacking u right in your phaggot azz face....

u like it...as evident in your excitment happy to see NYC have some relevance in the mainstream..u admitted u a nyc nationalist

which is dumb considering ALL REGIONS TALK THE SAME SHYT.....nothing unique..the INTERNET got everybody the same

yeah i love Dave East....but unfortunatly the MEDIA and these fools on here keep throwing the wack mofos like DESIGNER and YOUNG MA in our face

so lets stop pointing the finger at each other..it's the media......cause u point it again i'll break that finger right off in your slackjaw mama's azz

i ain't responding c00nface ...u got a problem PM me

How many of these nikkas are spitters?

He sounds like Def Loaf and even you know it. And you can be melodic and not sound the same. Even Akon's high pitch voice and melodic singing doesn't make him sound like Dej Loaf.

It's not just the production with these guys. It's the cadence. It's the flow. The song structures. The slang. The styles. That doesn't mean bubble jackets and timbs but it certainly doesn't mean looking like the Dyke version of Kevin Gates ala Young MA with flow and style to match.

Low riders and gold teeth with lean and slurred speech is not New York. Being bloods and crips is not New York. I don't live there so you tell me what is going on in New York that isn't copied from another region right now.

We love timbs but not in the summer
Find me a video where nikkas are dressed like any of these
