Without ATLANTA, Hip Hop is dead

wait you're serious ?

In all honesty, Guwop's influence on the Rap game from '05 - '08 >>>>> Biggie's influence from '94-'97

in what way ?

in what way ?

Mike Will Made It, Zaytoven, Lex Luger, Nicki Minaj, Oj Da Juiceman, 1017 Bricksquad, Trap, Lingo... Biggie was just a great rapper but outside of that he didnt really impact anything as far as the artist he signed except for Lil Kim and he didnt really create a new style lyrically (Wu Tang, Nas before him) and he didnt really inspire anything new as far as production style either... again, great rapper but thats where it begins and ends for him

@ the bolded.

gucci is my dude and i dont even like biggie. but you buggin out right now, my man.

Dominated the underground scene from '04 - '10 and inspired several genres from within Rap (Trap, Swag,Snap, Futuristic, etc)

Dominated the radio and album sale charts from '03 - '11

again, what underground did they dominate? jeezy is the only one that had a national buzz before he hit the airwaves.

that outkast album was not hip-hop.

i like ludacris, but lets not act like "chicken n beer" was an important album. this is why i dont like arguing about commercial stuff, because most of it has no bearing.

we don't have a new Chicago artist in the mainstream....
that is as technically gifted as a writer with content as Gucci.
on top of most of the stuff,...
that gets gateway traction is all a lift of future/yc's racks.

if Chicago got behind more of the smoke'n ride artist who populate outwest.
it could possibly find its new gangsta rap draw that had traction.
instead of piggy backing off of being a soldier boi admin based a&r project.
as out west has its own culture, and actualized urban landscape to provide something new.

Half the ATL is made up of people from Chicago in the first place. When a dude from the CHI visits Atlanta it's a family reunion for us. We deep as hell down there since the 80's at least. Some of these little kids running around Atlanta right now, parents or grandparents come from the CHI or Midwest/East Coast not to mention the people who still move down there from the CHI till this day starting families and literally fathering atliens. Them dudes in the Atlanta are decendants of reverse black migration from north-to-south and they'd be a completely different city without that influx.

Atlanta is not really organic, their style comes from Northerners migrating down south and mixing with locals. Not knocking Atlanta but Northerners especially from the Midwest helped shaped their identity in the first place. Plus for many years Atlanta was accused of taking crunk from Memphis so Atlanta has always been a mix of influences, not some kind of organic cultural hub. This coming from a dude whose been down there several times, and got fam down there.

yea, atlanta is a migration city period. virginia and north carolina as well.

atlanta even moreso than them because atlanta is also the black entertainment mecca. its been that way for well over 2 decades now.

You can go to atl for a weekend and not even meet a person that's actually born in atl.

I remember back in the 90's everybody and they momma could move to atl and have multiple job offers in a week. Which is one of the reasons so many people flocked to atl.

whoever said that the futuristic stuff couldve had legs if done right, was correct.

this shouldve been a HUGE hit.

grand hustle is the f*ckin pits.

Try to rationalize why your city's own music scene sucks, brehs

How many post do I have make to get thread making privileges? I want to create a thread about this producers battle (Beat Royale) at the Basement in Atlanta tomorrow night.

Thanks in advance

 

[Wild self]

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

The east coast was heading to a similar direction post 50 Cent. You want Uncle Murda or Maino be the #1 artist? Or how bout Papoose? Or maybe Troy Ave

By the mid 00s, the NY scene was a shadow of its former self compared to the 90s.

I dont deny this at all, I think I have said as much actually. What does the East have to do with this? Rap in general sucks right now.
