The Fall of Atlanta Rap: Yung Joc Speaks Out‼️ “Is It Really on the Decline?”

[LevelUp]

 

[Wild self]

It is.

 

[MoveForward]

We’ve had the longest run of any state or region in hiphop history. Future, 21 Savage, Playboi Carti, and even Lil Baby are still top streaming artist. Gunna is doing his thing and Thug is about to have some #1 hits within the next month or two. If Atlanta fell off, who’s on?

 

[BlackMajik]

Can't wait until my boy JID comes out with his next album

Yall ain't stopping shyt

 

[Pop123]

[Pop123]

Atlanta never had the top rapper in the game, in any year.

 

[Youngblood Priest]

You're right. We've had the top rappers in the game all them years.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

You're right. We've had the top rappers in the game all them years.

Nope.

From 2003+ Its always been Kanye, 50 Cent, Jay Z, Eminem, DMX, Drake, Kendrick, Nicki, Lil Wayne etc.

Atlanta always had the B level rappers

I agree but we do have the highest selling hiphop album EVER and no one can dispute that Atlanta has had the longest run of any city while staying true to our sound.

 

[TM101]

It is.

The world that made great rappers in their early 20s doesn't exist anymore. This what we got and we need to support the young guys who are staying out of trouble.

How when the biggest Atlanta producers are not from Atlanta

Zaytoven from Cali born and raised until adulthood

Metro from St. Louis born and raised until adulthood

Lex Luger from Virginia born and raised until adulthood …

They all had their own sound that didn’t sound anything like born and raised ATL producers like lil John and Jermaine dupri

 

[BreezyH]

Metro and Lex were definitely influenced by the trap sound and the trap sound is synonymous with Atlanta. It also took Atlanta artist to make them who they are. Metro isn’t giving Nelly beats and becoming who he is.

Lex got on with Waka who is from New York and blew up with Rick Ross who is from Miami
