It was definitely rough for them back then. Late 80's, early 90's. But they have to understand, we did that to our own too, lol. NY was the gatekeepers back then. But even if you were from here, you'd still get booed if your shyt wasn't correct. But if you're an out-of-towner, I'm sure that hits you a lot harder. But if your shyt was dope, NY was always the first to show love and support. We were blowing up mad ATL shyt back then, and still do it today.

We were already fukking with Outkast heavy before 3000 did that speech at the Source awards. But they always felt like we weren't, lol. They still think it's 1989 and NY is the end-all for approval. So when they feel slighted, they go back to thinking it's because they're not from here. The game is mad different now. There's no region that you need approval from, to pop. You can be from literally anywhere and still blow shyt out the water. But a lot of ATL artists are still stuck on this "NY this, NY that" shyt. It's wild annoying.
That's a got damn lie.....:russ:....but tell it bruh....:mjlol:....NY was not fukking with Outkast....

Southern dudes always wanna expand the south. TI is talking about GA vs NY. Now dudes are stretching it from Texas to VA vs two hoods in NY. That alone should tell you that NYC is another type of animal, when you’ve got to stretch the map to include 50% of USA where vs two hoods.

I actually knew Archie. We went to school and rapped together. I was wild happy for him when I saw the vid for “We Ready” :wow:

Copped his album soon as it dropped. I still listen to it from time to time. It actually was a cool album. No clue where he been. Prolly could have made some noise when ATL started doing their thing in the mid 2000s.


oh word? salute. well one thing is for certain your mans came out the gate with an all time blassic b

when they play we ready at ANY football game HS, college, or pros :wow:

Somebody had a great idea. I think it was hot 97. Diddy wants Dre and JD wants Diddy. Diddy and JD should do an all Rnb vs. And that would still leave an opportunity for an all rap vs with Dre.

Why Southern Nikkas always begging NY for approval… remember when Outkast got onstage in 1995 source awards and almost cried:mjcry:

I think the South never got our respect the way the West Coast did, it still bothers them
