Absolutely. I am from Houston and lived their all of my life. You out of town fakkits only feel comfortable saying stupid shyt like Young Jeezy is a better artist than Joe Budden because the South has taken over the map.
By this same dumb ass logic, Young Jeezy is a better artist than Jadakiss too. You fukkboys know rap but don't respect it.
The reason why acts like Jeezy are able to thrive today is because of advanced studio effects, over compensating beats, and catch nursery rhyme hooks.
Guess what fakkits? That is not what rap is about. That is what it has devolved to, in a successful attempt to cater to outsiders but any real critic knows thats not what makes an artist.
Aside from the fact that they are not even in the same genre music wise judging by today's standards make this thread even dumber,
but the bottom line is that being a great rap artist is about being able to contruct great bars and hooks that are timeless like art.
Jeezy is a product of lil jon-esque production, attempts at east coast punchlines and swag and glorifying drugs and street life with no consequence even though Gucci showed the world a consequence of all that tough talk.
You dudes have been dikkriding for so long that yall have fully bought into bullshyt and it is sad.
