At first it was funny, but now its just SAD to see New York lack a rap identity

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Where's that New York sound? I miss NY having their own identity

Everything out of the area sounds like its from some where else. (at least the mainstream stuff)

To quote Talib Kweli. "we used to drive to 50 states and hear 50 flows/ now every city knows sames songs its just again pimps and hos/ and the kids think the key to gettin down in the game/ is to copy the hot nikka and start soundin the same"


I'm not gonna lie, as a southern nikka at first it was
Now its just

 

[stealthbomber]

as a west coast nikka im still

but really tho ny step yall game up
nas can't keep saving yall

 

[FreshFromATL]

Breh it ain't no hope for them nikkas no more. Them nikkas identity is trying to remix Southern Hits that been out for months . Them nikkas are like that one bum-ass uncle that still lives vicariously through the golden days

Every region is wack and corny now. Lets not act like NY is alone here.

South still has a definitive sound
West Coast still has a definitive sound
Midwest is the same as it was before (a sound that can't really be defined but not like the other regions)

Nah dude y'all ARE alone. Every region had a young nucleus of talented up-and-comers to carry the torch from the OG's EXCEPT NY

Haha who the south have? Future? 2-chainz? Travis Porter?




And dont bother saying Jay Electronica that guy is gonna be 40 when he drops his 1st album. Only thing the south got is Big Krit.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Action Bronson ( and a few others)is pretty much the only newer act I check for with a clearly defined "new york" sound...he's dope

Do Curren$y (just hit mainstream) and K.R.I.T. not have albums that drop on Tuesday? Did J. Cole not get a gold plaque last year? Ain't Wale droppin' music? And 2-chainz ain't doing nothing but taking that trap music torch from Jeezy, T.I., Gucci, etc.

haha, for all the years the westcoast was getting shyt on over at SOHH I do have to agree a part of me laughs.

But then I realize just how much great music New York put out in the 80s and 90s and think it hurts Hip Hop when New York isn't pumping out new talent.
