Could a top NYC rapper bring that old NYC/East Coast sound back like Kendrick did or are niccas too gone riverdancing to UK/90's sample drill beats?

[Sane]

Who's gonna do that? Ice Spice?

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Kendrick sampled a latin singer from brooklyns song for squabble up and somehow it’s considered west coast because some people did gang dances to it

No because this is a generation raised not off locals, but more off what was poppin at the time and that was the South and Drill. LA and the Bay are self-sufficient, where being local isn't a problem because locals will support you. Cash Cobain can go to a local college campus and do a show but that's about it. We're not nearly as insular. I wish the city was just 100% behind Rome Streetz but that's not the case. Too many false starts and in hindsight, locals shoulda been less critical of A$AP Mob and any crew after them blew it in one way or another.

Kendrick new album ain’t g-funk

Boom bap peaked 30 years ago it’s not coming back

That last sentence says it all.

shyt feels dire and hopeless within the city.

What do u mean here?

What makes LA and the Bay any more self sufficient than us

Cash Cobain is much more popping than any of them artist on Kendrick’s album

I hate when NY posters be on this self deprecating shyt and dikk sucking other regions

We have our own shyt as much as anyone.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

People hate New York and east coast rappers. Look at the irrational hate people like Dave East get on here.

 

[prophecypro]

ASAP Mob, Joey/Pro Era, Bronson and whoever was from Griselda that was from the city all did it but didnt get that kinda push (except ferg and rocky. french montana had records that came close (Shot Caller) and then after it was guys actually from that era before (Nas, Jada, Busta etc)

Theres people but it also means people in NYC not callin the shyt dusty or whatever

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Pop Smoke could’ve been but

Its more warranted now but son was hated on here from the jump and it was weird af. Me and @ISO was like the only nikkas on here who would defend him.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Pop had the light but he got taken out. Last rappers NYC rallied behind were non rapping ass Shmurda

I didn't understand how much hate he got.

 

[ISO]

No because NY doesn't show love to their new artists as much as the West Coast OGs do.

They been having Jadakiss and Fabolous hog the scene for over 20 years.

Young MA came close but she had a super short run

Lol most the young NY rappers are more popping than the artist on K-Dot’s album

Kendrick & Mustard have built a pedigree for 15 years so they’re afforded latitude to do different stuff. Mustard is the contemporary version for the west as the guys that came before. He’s making traditional west coast vibes with new aged feel. Before you worry about a east coast rapper doing that you need the east coast producer repackaging the old into the new

The difference between boom bap and that bay shyt is BPS. When was the last time a boom bap song tore up clubs? Radio? Made women shake their ass? Inherently people move to that west coast shyt whereas east coast shyt is more…not that

So whether or not Kendrick is using a regional sound isn’t as important as it passing the accessibility test which boom bap doesn’t

Why can’t the young NY producers of today making sample drill beats be seen in the same light or as modernizing the sound?
