NY rappers rapping on 808s just seems forced and out of place. "What goes around, comes around." I reside here and I agree that the NY hate was gonna come back and bite back hard. Now NY is the butt of all jokes in 2012 Hip Hop and everywhere else is popping on their music scene.

You do know rappers in NY were rapping over 808 drum beats back in the early-mid 80's. That was the sound of NY Hip Hop before Marley Marl made sampling James Brown breaks popular in the late 80's. Especially when Bambaata and other dudes were bringing in the synths, electro, etc early in the game. It's not a new thing. But that's all I wanted to say.

But NY rappers making strip club songs and driving in old school cars? Even the slang is stolen directly from the south. Yeah, old NY had that, but the 808s you hear today are southern inspired. I grew up on NY music and I know it takes a back seat to southern music and trends today. Hell, regionalism is pretty much a thing of the past.

Old school caddys, lincolns, OJ's, well I don't know if you would consider it old school back then, were pretty popular out here in the 70's/early 80's. Strip Club/booty shaking songs were made popular by Luke and the Miami bass sound, so I'll give you that. And yes, nowadays southern influence is more shown up north with music features, the slang and people drinking syrup, etc. But the stuff that southern Hip Hop was doing in the 00's (with the 808's and car culture) was already done in NY in the beginning of the Hip Hop era. Difference is they (south) added their own flava to it.
