There's a bunch of newish rappers from NYC that sound like they're from there. I'm not talking about the tired throwback I'm bringing the 90's back cats like Joell Ortiz or Joey Badass either. The problem is that folks want the most visible NYC rappers to be on that shyt and it's not going to happen until sounding like you're from NYC is commercially viable again.

NYC getting shyt on mericilessly on Twitter :russ:





what does a comment like this even mean? In NYC the hot spots are filled with people from all over the country and differerent parrts of the world who have nothing but great things to say about the city. So which one really counts? Trolls online or people who are are actually not from NYC showing NY love? Some of u online heads are really delusional in thinking the net is the real world.

while i hate when the east coast tries to emulate the south(besides when red n meth did city lights), this is the reason rap is the way it is now. they'll hate you whether you try to bring the 90's back, or whether you're trying to sound like something else. people act like they want originality, but then when it comes, they hate that too. i'd just be happy with the 90's back...at least every region was putting out uncut dope:banderas:
