Ayo, how does ludacris have a spot but not TI and Gucci?
When the community starts calling the cops on dudes selling drugs and guns openly outside..dudes committing crimes with the silent backing of the community.

I like Southern Hip-Hop, particularly the era of Geto Boys/Scarface, UGK, OutKast, Goodie Mob, Three Six Mafia (although they're more Midwest), Eightball/MJG, etc.
I never was a fan of that Lil Wayne, Birdman, Cash Money, No Limit era, Lil Jon, ringtone era, etc of Southern Hip-Hop. That shyt was and still is terrible and somewhat the catalyst for why Hip-Hop is the way it is right now.
That mid-late 00s era of Southern Hip-Hop up until now has been terrible and one of the reasons Hip-Hop fell off so hard, the South made it acceptable for certain trends and negative aspects to be ok. Lack of skill, terrible cheap sounding beats that age badly, glorification of degeneracy, awful album covers, etc.
As someone else mentioned, the South seems to be exempt from criticism because if the West Coast and especially the East Coast (NYC, Jersey, Philly, etc) put out this kind of music it'd be getting clowned and shytted on and rightfully so because people expect better from the East Coast.

Growing up is realizing that mainstream rap, as a whole, has almost always been trash.

The South has always been trademarked in anti-intellectualism, from sticking with slavery while the rest of the country industrialized, to today being the regional leaders in inferior compulsory education. It's no surprise that once they began to gain greater influence in hip hop (late 90s / early 2000s No Limit & Cash Money), rap music eventually went downhill in regards to overall quality.
There's a reason why, even though some southern states are part of the 13 colonies, the Ivy League schools are located in the northeast region of the country. Cold, harsh winters = less time for outside agricultural pursuits, but more time to hit the books and study.
However, to be fair to Southern rap music, your first paragraph is spot on for the most part.
And those of you who say you'd smash Glorilla got some SORRY tastes in women

People were calling the South trash going back to the early 90s. Still called it trash when P was killing the game. We keep on rolling with the punches.
