You dont play any southern music

[CashmereThoughts]

My office lets us play music and since im the resident music person my spotify playlists are always playing in the office. This new kid from NC said to me while Little Brother was playing. "you dont play any southern music" (LB is from his home state).

-I replied "this is southern music right here"
-Him "no its not"
-Me "LB is from NC!"
-Him *googles* "this dont count as southern rap"
-Me "why not "
-We dont listen to that shyt down there, these nikkas want to be from New York

southern bredrins, Is there some criteria to be "southern" I dont know about or his this nikka trippin?

I remember LB complaining about not getting love in NC

 

[letti cook]

im having a hard time articulating it right now but its like when you use "proper diction" people say you "talking white"

when a southern rapper can rap and got beats that arent heavy on 808s, hihats and snare rolls...

like, I sat and listened to French Montana...FRENCH fukkIN MONTANA....try to claim T.I. as a New York rapper cause he can spit

 

[get these nets]

op..............play instrumental or jazz at work

to avoid the obvious future problems.....

Never fukked with LB.....thought that they were trash

NC rappers never get love in NC. Gotta go somewhere else to get it so when you get bigger them cats back home act like they made you and you owe them something cuz they smoked a L with you at a open mic or something 10 years ago.

I'm no expert in SOuthern Music but i would think when people mention the Southern Genre of Rap they mean artists like:

Outkast, Goodie Mob, UGK, Young Geezy, T.I., etc

The ones in red are the only ones i ever listened to personally. When it comes to rap barely 1or 2 artists/groups from "The South" make it into my top 10 favorites. I'm more of a The Roots, De La Soul, KRS-One, type of rap fan. To this day if i had to name a Young Geezy track to save my life i'm probably as good as dead and note I've lived in Miami and Atlanta the last 24 years of my life.

I actually liked Little Brother but is NC really considered Southern among americans?

“As long as there’s that tick (tick) followed by that bump... you might call us country but weez only southern, and I don’t give a fukk, P Funk about to spark a nuther’n...”

-Big Boi

He summed it up here.

Southern dudes like their rappers with a 3rd grade reading level so that they can relate.

I remember a dude from Atlanta telling me that outkast wasn't real Atlanta nikkas but 21 Savage is.

 

[King Poetic]

do he consider chamllionaire or killer mike not southern rappers do to them being good lyricist

 

[intruder]

Are you playing clean versions or with explicit lyrics, @CashmereThoughts ?
I cant fathom listening to rap around people i dont know like that . Too much cursing in rap as a genre for me to enjoy blasting it in public without being self conscious about it

He's from Rual NC. He never heard of LB. Raleigh had to be a huge market for LB being a larger city and since they from near by

They view Outkast as Southern and representative of Atlanta but not quite representative of "the streets". Kinda like the same way NYers view Mos Def va CamRon or Onyx

Yeah no excuse in 2018 though I could see if it was 20 years ago.
