I swear, that shyt was so disgusting...At least Richmond nikkas had/have some pride in being from Richmond.... same with the 757 cats.

But Northern VA...

Although, nikkas from Alexandria are starting to not be ashamed of being from Alexandria...But @ them trying to make quiet neighborhoods seem dangerous

Chill nikka


DC & PG ain't got love for the home of the titans?

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Outside of the Clipse that's a terrible list for hip hop

Better than the gay area.

the 757 aka hampton roads...anybody remember Joe Pro? his dvds were frickin awesome!

Joe Pro...my nikka. I went to one of his house parties once.

These nikkas really in Alexandria talking that trap & gunplay shyt

The only time you ever hear about anybody getting 'd up in NOVA...it's usually migos out there doing the 'ing.

Or when DC nikkas congregate out there...like at that Scarface & NEG show a couple months back

Timbaland and the Neptunes established a signature 757 sound.

yeah as far as the 757

but va as whole ain't never really had a lot of talent make it big and show off a platform of talent like talkin' bout

timbaland and the neptunes are really the only 1's to make it and to me they only represent 1 aspect of it

i don't know, this might sound crazy but in so many ways i feel like va still ain't "made it"

underrated reply


might as well throw in Skillz

From Where? is far and away his best album but he's found himself a nice little niche with the year end wrap ups and ghostwriting for people

That's all that matters.

States don't really have signature sounds. Just locales. Virginia's fairly big and spread out. NOVA is basically D.C. and they were always about that go-go shyt. Not much in the way of hip-hop. Richmond doesn't have much of an identity. Most of the rest of the state is rural and/or cacced up. You're not going to have a hip-hop movement come out of some nondescript as place like Roanoke. The 7 cities had to do it for the whole state.
