Shy was nice. We talking first or second album?
Atlanta was already on the map as the place to be and was establishing itself as the mecca of black entertainment as far back as the early '90s. long before an outkast.
kriss kross repped Atlanta like once on their debut I believe. honestly, I never noticed that until recently, but everybody knew Jermaine dupri was Atlanta and everybody down with him was at least Atlanta based. really so so def put Atlanta on the map rap-wise.
and on the overall tip, l.a. reid & babyface were the ones that got it poppin. coincidentally, outkast became laface's rap group after the fact.
Sure, when it comes to a lot of other stuff, ATL was well established as a black Mecca before Kast. Ironically, the only So So Def artist I have a firm recollection of knowing where they were from around that time was Brat.
JD was established before Kast, but not as a rapper.

post some songs that make him better than the HB's. I heard little of him and i dont remember being impressed.
Look at how he went in on his first single from the second album. Over a crossover attempt beat at that.

the bolded can be said about
as well.and lets not act as if outkast made Atlanta into some sort of hip-hop powerhouse. Atlanta didn't reach that status until a decade later, no thanks to them. they were just the first extra-lyrical rappers to come out of there, and people still don't respect that city in terms of lyricism. lets keep it all the way real.
so so def was a big deal and everybody knew it was Atlanta-based.
and yea, kriss kross repped Atlanta in their intro. they just didn't rep it to the death.

shyheim was the goat child lyricist but that's pretty much where the buck stops.
lets be real. unless youre a fan of dude, you'd be hard-pressed the name the titles of any of his songs. hes not even at the top of his ilk. da youngsters and illegal made more noise in terms of that raw east coast chit.
and in no way is shyheim seeing the hot boys. I mean, its not even a fair comparison seeing that the hot boys were an adult group. I don't know why theyre being brought up in this debate. to this day, millions of people are still under the assumption that BG & turk were grown. the only person stressing their age was wayne. they were compared to groups like TRU & The Lox. they weren't being compared to the magnificent 7 or the lil soldiers.

Shy was a one album wonder to me, but the Hot Boys were ass. BG Turk and Wayne sounded like little girls.
