Are a lot of the 90's and 00's southern hip hop artist making money overseas?

[NYC Rebel]

I'm curious as I see MC's like Jeru making their livelihood living in Europe performing their old hits. I see this with a lot of east coast 90s MCs. Are the Southern acts of that era being just as embraced overseas?

I never heard of Europeans respecting southern hip hop now I think of it.

They prefer the cold dark 90s Eastcost..

A lot of 90's hip hop and R&B acts hit the Hawaii circuit....Win-win on both ends....definitely smaller venues, but it ends up being guaranteed money.

But if you told me that Mr Serv On was getting shows in Tbilisi, i'd

Houston music is huge in Asia. Check out Japan, they love DJ Screw.

I've heard a song with Frayser Boy and a rapper from Germany I think, or some Eastern European nation, whatever it was I don't speak the language.

It's like O.C. said, Europe is really into what was going on here in the early to mid 90's.

They really want to see a lot of the Golden Era artists. Jeru's been over there touring forever. Dudes like the Cella Dwellas, Beatnuts, Hieroglyphics and Large Professor are always booked in Europe. They want the boom bap legends all day. I've seen a lot of people we used to listen to crazily here back in the day, over there touring when I've been there. It's like '94 all over again there right now, lol.

You crazy. I lived in Germany and traveled throughout. They loved ANY hip hop, just as long as it came from America. This is from the largest club I’ve ever been to. Dance floor easily held 1500 folks and was 3/4 stories tall. It stayed blasting southern music. I was hearing Pastor Troy in Amsterdam in 05.

It makes sense. Houston has a huge Asian population. Probably the most in America behind parts of Cali and NYC

It would only make sense that Asians in Houston eventually put their overseas family members on to the music they like.

This. Most Southern acts still make good money just doing shows in the region. They don’t need to go to Europe when they can make that same money in a town that’s a drive away.

I was in Madrid and Paris last year and damn near walked into Large Professor and Jeru shows. They are heavy into DJ culture in Europe to it lends itself to playing those East Coast golden era MCs
