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 eathe 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.

the net isnt the real world?

from my point of view being a southern boy, we watched NY shyt on us decade after decade, and we really couldnt defend it....
cuz the labels and media tried they best to push a stereo-type or arch-type of what a southern was/is and folks all over the nation played and downplayed us as region, and we looked in the mirror and "owned it" no doubt it hurted as a region to be addressed the way they addressed us, it hurted us a region to be viewed the way they viewed us, like damn is the south really the reason hip hop dead.............. but when truth showed itself and revealed the hands of the labels table were turned....
we didnt go to the labels, so the labels could no longer box us in a region............they last straw was Trinidad James.....
still tryna play a image off as a southern stereo-type and it back fired......... dudes down south is just as lyrically equipped as any other region, and im glad NY cant shake the voodoo that we hit them, when u hate something so much, that what u hate then consumes you.......and i think that NYers need to apologize and that curse will be lifted until then Hip Hop will never find its home back in NY.......NY the tables have turned....

It is a case of karma......its funny but as much as loved the local artists (Wu-Tang, Mobb, Big, MOP, etc).....I equally loved the music being made by Outkast, Scarface, UGK, Snoop, Quik, etc....and people around my way thought it was corny/wack/bullshyt.

fukk a region.....good music is good music......noise pollution is just that. This whole "whos region is better" bullshyt is all divide and conquer tactics. You can big up where your from and still like whats coming out from every corner of the country.

Biggie was the last real rapper of NY

Breh you forget DMX had NY and the Game in a choke hold. Was even shytting on WestCoast legends fukking they bytch and clowning them on wax for the world to here. DMX was the hardest nikka from NY since Big Daddy Kane.



Clowning the fukk out of kurupt

NY nikkas need to give respect to the only true hood nikka that held the crown. Even if he is embarrassing AF now. Nobody would even think about do what Kendrick is doing back in 97-03

He's got two albums and a bunch of mixtapes. The albums are both dope.

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.

I agree. But, don't forget Philly.

I rarely listen to that down south jungle music.

Remember, going all the way back to 2003, the top 5 active rappers or movements were by rappers who were unsigned or independent.

So...who cares what is commercially viable, biggest rappers are still Lil Wayne, Drake, Ross, Jay-Z, and J.Cole. Its not like they would be in good company anyway.

Dudes bootleg everything in sight, and wonder why trash sell? This is the weakest era of all time, you guys only have yourselves to blame.

EDIT: You thought there would be no consequences to making 2Chainz hot?

This is definently not karma. Ny has been making hip hop since 73 and is burnt out right now. We'll find our way back when its time. Hip hop with the south holding the torch is at its weakest state right now, if anything this era is a testament to why new york needs to be on point. Really, what does the south have to show for

 

[MINT]

NY rappers been saying this for almost a decade now. Dudes need to get over it and keep doing their own thing.
