Without ATLANTA, Hip Hop is dead

[CACtain Planet]

From the lingo, to fashion, to the production, beat making, dances/2 steps, labels, infusion of new fresh talent and sounds every year, it can be concluded that since 2002 (Lil Jon, Ludicrous, Outkast, Pastor Troy, Cee-Lo,T.I., Jeezy, Gucci, Rocko, etc) Atlanta been keeping the Hip Hop culture and rap genre alive in black America for without it, Hip Hop is DEAD in 2014....Big ups to Guwop for consistently putting on new artists, seems like every year since '08 three or four new artists/producers/beat makers blow up off his co-sign

Guwop is near the top of the list of most influential rappers of all time.

Even those who think this is a bad thing have to agree....

Fact

Not hip hop. i'd even argue that this thread having merit furthers the notion that hip hop has long been dead and is never returning.

 

[OG Talk]

You're kinda right...

Best conscious rapper-Killer Mike

Best gangster rapper-Guwop

Best club rapper-Future

Most coveted feature-Andre


Whether its T.I., Luda, Jeezy or Quan, Migos and Duct tape..

The city has been providing something for everyone, no matter your taste the past few years.. Definately one of the most versatile cities in the recent history of hip hop... Dont see why it gets unfairly hated on...

without atlanta, lyrical rap will be the standard in mainstream hip-hop.

aside from Mike, whose doing fringe albums with a backpacker overlord from NYC & Dre, a guy from a 20 year old broken up group i'm not seeing any hip hop there.

Why do people from ATL think outsiders care about what they wear? I mean yall fly in rap videos but I went to atlanta last year and its a lot of bummy lookin folks out there.

Weak music, weak sales, odes to strippers and whores, blatant biting, simple raps, fake gangsters, real gangsters implicating themselves... yall can have this era

I dumb down for my audience. And double my dollars

And sure enough, Jay is the only NY nikka still popping in this weak ass era... you were saying?

 

[BangerzAOTY]

Jay Z is too intelligent to dumb his lyrics down to the level these swag rappers in the atl are at.
