Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
What/Who in the hell is that?
Is this what NY artists are getting support now, @NY's #1 Draft Pick ? Are they that desperate to get back on top/remain relevant in the rap game?

I lived here for 20 years now and I don't see what the hype is....NYC no longer produces anything original.
All the food and music that was known here is being produced somewhere else now.
This is just a big ass city of miscreants living off the rep from 30 years ago #facts

I'm not mad at this comment. It's almost a fact. I'll pro8bably never leave NYC, but there's so much nonsense that happens here that just wouldn't fly anywhere else in the country and it's chalked up to people from NYC thinking it's normal standard operating procedure because they haven't lived anywhere else, or chalked up to transplants/newcomers saying "oh, well, that's NYC for ya! how great is this!"
A city known for vibrant creativity turned into a place where it's damn near possible to make a living doing anything creative. A city known for vibrant enclaves and local businesses filled with landlords sitting on vacant commercial space, collecting tax breaks, waiting for a Chase bank or Duane Reade to come take over the lease.
Everything in NYC is a big battle and it can get exhausting sometimes. Battle/fight to get to work every morning, battle/fight to get decent housing, battle/fight to go out to eat, wait in lines for damn near everything. TSA at JFK airport has to be up there with the worst, most in-efficient agency operating in the entire country. Now they're going to put through congestion pricing where it's going to cost MORE money to drive into Manhattan. The tolls (that you can't pay in cash anymore, everyone needs a trackable EZ-pass) weren't enough. The MTA is literally falling apart due to decades of mismanagement and politicians kicking the can down the road, yet everywhere you look there are dozens of huge high-rise apartments going up adding thousands of more people to already overcrowded neighborhoods and infrastructure. The city's just filled with weak chain stores and lame trendy "Instagram friendly" businesses that will pack up and leave in a year or two once the hype dies down
Everyone wants to talk about how NY rap fell off... it's because the city itself fell the fukk off and the culture here is extremely different, to almost non-existent...and it's never coming back.
Commute 1.5 hours each way to work, be on a waiting list for housing, be on a waiting list for parking, be on a waiting list for a municipal job, spend 3 hours going to MetLife Stadium to go through airport-style security and $20 beers to see the Giants lose. as much as I love NYC the whole city in 2017 is a massive L. Unless you got double digit millions without a care in the world (which apparently a lot of people here fall under those categories) the city is a huge pain in the ass and the quality of life is garbage.
But...where else would you rather be? A cookie cutter housing tract in Texas where everything closes at 9 pm and the most exciting thing you got going on is the WalMart?
sounds like it's a L everywhere
This shyt is exactly why i moved. Everything was hassle. I just went to the dmv here in fl. I was in and out in thirty minutes. In NY it wouldve taken me two hours minimum.
Ny strip clubs are . Chicks just wearing bikinis twerking expecting tips. Strippers are all haggard looking while yhe bartenders are 10/10 but are stuck up and want you to buy $20 drinks..word I hear ya. the DMV here could easily turn into a 2 day affair.
I just think it's so funny that so many "millennials" are moving into NYC in droves but are doing things and inventing things that are anti-city in every way, shape and form. Move into a city to have your whole life set up to where you never even have to leave your house. why? Netflix, amazon prime, postmates, tinder, etc... all these silicon valley "solutions" to problems that never even existed, are ultimately killing cities and community living... yet they're being marketed toward people in the big cities . "New York will always be New York" has been the saying forever... even the Mayor used to say that. I really hope Amazon doesn't come here and gives NYC the big when they pick their new HQ. Kinda like how Hollywood is burning with all these rapists, part of me wants to see NYC pay for decades of mismanagement and coasting off it's rep the bubble needs to burst NY been coasting off it's rep forever and hasn't "put in work" in ages. There are so many little b.s. things that happen here that just wouldn't fly anywhere else, in every aspect of culture and life. Even look at the strip clubs here We have the nerve to call these places strip clubs
I was at Bojangles and the girl behind the counter was like, where you from? I'm wit my girl so I'm like. I'm from New York , tho.
She like well if your girl don't mind can I leave with ya'll? It's wack down here and they don't get money like that.. I said I wish I could help.
This guy is from NY as well:
