Not even close. And that's not a dig at Slum Village, but LB is a different animal....shoutout to Murs, Elzhi, Skyzoo, and Khrysis while we're at it.
Chitlin' Circuit mixtape series :wow:
The Listening :wow:
The Minstrel show :wow:

They are a criminally underrated group.
I got nothing against lb just they came out right after black eyed peas sold out but they didn't deliver same with jay elec. Ill just stick to proven names like atcq and mos def for that type of sound. Lupe kinda fell off hard too
Just my opinion

You can adopt a certain style with out doing there politics. I doubt Nawlins nikkas was wearing bandannas pre 88.
I doubt it. We was never really influenced much by cali. He never adopted they slang, they culture, gangs. The rags started out as army fatigue rags cause wearing fatigues clothes was big in the 80s/90s and once it had been around for a while people flipped it and started to match them with whatever color they was wearing

cash money was not doing no west coast thing lol. Wearing rags is a new Orleans fashion thin. When u seen early cash money rocking rags it’s was New Orleans thing. That’s why u would see them with a different rag on each time.

We called them Soulja rags, no color was affiliated with any areas. nikkaz wore whatever color they wanted and still do

So NO was rocking colored bananas before they saw the movie Colors.

If you say so Breh. I wasn't there.

I am speaking generally here. Early on act like Geto Boys were more like NWA than like Big Daddy Kane.

The bandana thing seemed to be a clue but I'ma let you tell it.

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

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

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 :gucci:

i knew that/ knew someone would bring it up

got nothing to do with the point...T.I. is an Atlanta rapper...French's statement and point was..we fukk with you up top cause you rap like a new york nikka.

the point is, when a southern rapper is considered lyrical, people always try to connect it to New York in some manner cause the stereotype is southern nikkas cant rap
I mean. is he lying?

I mean I just said it started with camo rags(cali never rocked that) from the late 80-to mid 90s and it’s transition to us wear colored rags in the late 90s cause people transition from the camo and started wearing rags that matched they cloths. So if I had blue on I would wear the rag as a fashion accessory to match

Above the fray.
How do you rate the menstral show album?
The Minstrel show ...was nothing remarkable.Listened to it on a road trip when it came out,on the way home we listened to the bonus album of The 18th Letter by Rakim (the book of life) which was a rakim greatest hits album.
Haven't listened to LB since then.

Nothing was going to stand up to Rakim greatest hits, but people were touting it as this and that...I wasn't impressed.

Are you old enough to remember Omniscence?

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?

Tell that little snot nosed brat to kill himself

LB >>>>>>>>>>>> His whole, pathetic, worthless existence
