Nah, we don't like wack ass artists in this era. There is a reason why Kendrick is killing the game and still be on the cover of GQ, while the c00n rappers like 2 Chainz is struggling to get a hit. Regionalism is dead and that old, gritty sound isn't coming back due to gentrification.
I agree somewhat
I don't see anything special in Kendrick tho
I've said it before about gentrification/Giuliani
NYC ain't the same as it was 20 years ago
The music reflected the times
I'm not sure where u from
But NYC is still hood
It's just not as spread out
And I'm not sure if it's because I'm older now but I don't see the gang scene as prevelant
I don't think it's impossible for that sound to come back but it will be hard
Especially with the younger generation being a bunch of followers
As someone who loves that old sound, it was wonderful for me when joell Ortiz first came out with the brick. For a few years every verse was fire. He brought back that feel for me for a couple of years. He don't spit the same no more but I appreciate what he gave me for that time.
