Lets keep it real.
One reason ATL got on n stayed on in the mid 2000s to now is because the bar was never set high for them. Luda and Lil Jon came thru, bought dat energy to the game. They were dope and are legends imo, but it wasnt hard for another ATL rapper to come thru n add their own twist. Den u get snap era, same shyt. Not hard to recreate it. Now the trap shyt. Lex Comes thru, crushes buildings with Flocka. Now everyone imitates him n 808 mafias sound. Same with MIgos etc..
Not dissing ATL, just saying, the standard for their music isnt really set that high, so its easy for another hometown hero to come thru, just add a lil twist to his style, and crush buildings.
The problem with LA, is that the standard was TOO high. YOu have the GOAT producer in Dre and at the time had the fastest selling rapper of all time and global icon snoop. You can't imitate that classic G funk sound like u can with trap. With trap even a wacc ass beat sounds dope. In G funk unless u really got skills its gonna be a wacc beat. And so many people in LA at da time tried to jump on da wave but da music was just trash because they didnt have the skills to replicate the GOAT producer and one of the most unique rappers and voices in hip hop history in Snoop Dogg. Its a reason the west didnt come bacc til Mustard and YG bought a easily replicated sound that allowed for anyone to replicate n sound dope on.
You cant create another Doggystyle or Chronic, but u can create another My Krazy Life very easily.
