"New NY"

Even yall thread titles copy Atlanta :dead:
technically it is the "new" ny:ld:

off topic, but I noticed once the original hip hop heads in nyc started leaving NYC around 1995/96, that was the beginning of nyc hip hop going down in 1997. Once 2003 hit, Atlanta, and the south in general, started putting its whole leg in the door. By 2006/7, they took over the house, and NYC ain't been the same since!

Hip hop is an energy, to me, and NYC people don't really have it anymore, as a whole. Why I don't know, but they are living off of past rep. The reason why Atl has it is because they have the balls to do them, and if the world catches up, they catch up. That is what hip hop is about, and NYC was about, but now its all about being like everyone else around you for most "views", but claiming to be the most liked by the country, and acting like NYC is hot. Even to hanging out in strip clubs where bytches don't strip naked:wtb:., just to act like everyone else in the country. Back in the day, NYC would just create something they could do, and do it well., they could care less about what everyone else was doing , and that's what gave nyc its style!

The people in NYC aint the same since the original hip hop heads started going down south:yeshrug:

Ny wasn't allowed to crash and burn..and that's what hurt in the long run..

When the chicken noodle soup/aunt jackie era was shunned, it pretty much set Ny back...

Even if the older heads didn't like it, you gotta let the kids breathe and find their way..

I admit I was in a weird backpacker stage during that time:mjcry:, but looking back, it was fun light hearted music that nikkas was dancing too..

We just starting to get the ball rolling again...

As far as the strip club thing, that shyt died during the Guliani era..:francis:

Nah, NYC THOUGHT shyt was getting better, but they just had a couple of popping songs, there was no real movement happening. Every rapper kept saying they was gonna bring NYC back, but aint shyt happen, and its because they forgot what hip hop was about!

When you look around, and see the music is hot from so many producers, the style that rappers use are different/banging, the style of dressing is banging, and the parties are popping THEN you will look up and see NYC is back. What happens now is people try to force it, using the media as their hype man, and for over a decade I heard "NYC is back" only for nothing to happen, and they copy what the new shyt is.

Fat Joe had top 10 billboard single as well as cardi b and a boogie is getting his in the past 2 years...

Once nikkas make a dent on the mainstream, it goes from there over time...

NYC can't win with anyone...

If we get a top billboard charting single, it's your copying from the south...mind you the 808s that are consistently used in southern rap were originally a Ny thing:pachaha:

If we get nothing, it's N.Y. isn't relevant in the mainstream..

Cardi B out here all over the billboard charts, but the goal posts find a way to get moved:mjgrin:...

Well she don't sound like a Ny rapper...
She not what Ny rap is about..
The excuses go on and on...

Mind you when party like a rockstar and chain hang low was all over the charts, it was a win for the south even though they were apart of an assembly line of one hit wonders...

Along with trillville/lil scrappy/bonecrusher/and a host of others that haven't been heard from in over 10 years musically...
:heh:

All I'm saying is, the same way the South was on the bubble for a bit is the same way the new talent from ny will be..

@360dagod You named a couple of artist, I'm talking about hip hop. Who are the hottest producers? Who got the illest rhymestyles? Who got the illest dresscode? where the hottest spots to get some ladies? What's the top heads driving? What's the topics that are rhymed about that describe the city?

Until all those things can be answered, and the whole city agree, aint shyt happening. All you got are rappers who are doing good from nyc

Yeah, those artists you named are gone, but ATL is still repping ATL, thats what its about not the rapper, they come & go. It's about being true to YOUR experience, and your interpretation of it. I'm not hating on nyc, just an old head critiquing my family, I want yall lil nikkas to win! I experienced hip hop as a fan, and living it, its a feeling that is hard to describe, but nyc is lacking it right now. All I see is rappers trying to be hip hop, and they think being criminal is it when that just come with it being hip hop is street music, but it doesn't have to be like that, this is still music, so you need more then that!

Hip Hop is about being aggressive, while still being creative. Being a strong man, while allowing your soft side to show. Its allowing these two opposites to be expressed through you, that makes hip hop special. In other cultures a man who dresses fly is soft or gay, not hip hop. its the same with being introspective. Hip hop allows you to be, and enforces, intelligent, aggressive, humble, fly, and militant, in one person. Aint nothing else like it! This person was the NY MC! This is why men wanted to be him, and the ladies loved him. Rappers forgot this.
