i won't front A$AP mad nice for his era but fo real anytime u put this dude in the same sentence with the R this shyt is just :mjlol: in the words of bobby heenan that's like comparing ice cream to horse manure....like comparing prime ribs to lunch meat

nope. It's like comparing a high end steak to millionaire steak. Sure, one is superior on multiple levels but they're both quality steaks at the end of the day.

NEW YORK CITY
The world globalizing reduced New Yorks status, remove rap from the title and you have your answer. NY is a generic global city now. The old New York ethnic enclaves are disappearing, the hood is disappearing, forget Hiphop, there is nothing poppin in New York culturally in general.
lol what does it even mean to be a "generic" global city:mjlol:

Nyc as a city is probably doing better than its ever been:gucci: Nyc status as an actual influential city ,on a global scale, never rested on its hip hop. Dudes are delusional

I'm from the NYC metro area, and I never realized how corny NY was until I lived in Philly for 10 years. I moved back to my hometown, and people are slowly starting to adopt elements of Philly culture from years ago. Add to that, the exposure that social media gives to Black culture everywhere. You can really see how corny NY is by comparison. NY has its redeeming qualities, though. I find that the average New York breh is more intelligent than the average breh from most major cities. That's just my perspective, and I probably pissed people off from both sides of the argument.

NYC never responded to Rocky like they did with Rakim. Fab was getting more love in Rockys prime over here. I haven't heard Rocky getting airplay like that since Fukking Problems in 2012. Ferg on the other hand keeps popping up here and there on radio. East Coast is currently in my rotation. Its funny how your breakdowns never match how NYC actually responded to Rocky.

:lupe:



Y’all playing corny :trash: like ASAP Rocky and Dave East on the daily :huhldup:
ITS simple.

It’s trash because out of Towners define it by things that happened 25 years ago and have no clue who anybody is or what’s going on.

An out of towner can tell u about “the tunnel” and shyt like that.

But they can’t tell u about Santos etc. All the things that went down there or any of the clubs, scenes in NY etc.

They don’t know what gangs are out here. HOW THE STREETS ARE NOW.

They can tell u about king tut and bimmy, but they can’t tell you about Rugs or other nikkas I won’t name

NY Culture is trash because nikkas really don’t know anything about what’s been happening the past ten years.


So nikkas be like “oh nikkas ain’t wearing fatigue suits and being godbody!?!?”

shyt trash...

nikkas not rapping over beats by 50 year old producers!?!?!?

shyts trash...

Meanwhile NY moved on, names, faces, legends have lived and died in this city and nikkas don’t know nothing about them. That ain’t the town.

Y’all just don’t know whats going on. And y’all dont know what NY is supposed to be or sound like anymore. So these conversations have to happen every two weeks.
