This is terrible

The south as a whole is not terrible

My problem is will these rappers be performing these songs when they get old? Like will we see this performed at the Moneybag Yo lifetime achievement award event?

here'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.

Obviously I’m not talking about UGK, Scarface, OutKast, 8Ball/MJG, Goodie Mob..

I’m talking about Southern Hip Hop from like 2005 to current…. It all began with Lil Wayne’s trash ass

Then why are the vast majority of HBCUS located in the South? Surely the enlightened Northeast could recognize the worthwhile endeavor of Negro education and uplift?
Or, did that Northeastern education, in the words of Carter G Woodson, rear a generation of educated Negroes who were all but useless to the cause of Negro advancement? If the South is so backwards, why was there no equivalent to Black Wall Street in the North? Why did all the great Black arts, with the exception of hip hop, begin in the South?
:ohhh:


Not a fan of the Harlem Renaissance?

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

:yeshrug:
This is actually pretty much true outside of the golden age of hip hop … and even then Hammer and Whoop there it is and Vanilla Ice existed …

Why cannot the simplest of raps coexist with the most complexed?
Does it have to be one or the other
Variety is wonderful

Problem is the radio and record companies
their resources and time slots can only promote a certain amount of music/artists

it more points to the populace being sheep

Why do NY/NJ nikkas always say this when you can’t even name the last decent NY artist of the last 20 years. :comeon: Who was the last remotely good NY rapper to make noise? Bobby Shmurda? Hell no, he was garbage water. Cardi? Nah, she on the same tier as all these garbage mainstream rappers. ASAP Mob? Nah, they was more noted for their dress code which is already outdated and looks basic today in this era where anyone can copy and paste their whole “aesthetic”. Even Dipset was weak compared to Wu, Boot Camp, Mobb Deep etc.

Nah, can’t name any decent NY rappers over a two decade period. A city of 8 million people at that. And I loved NY rap in the 90’s. It was God tier. Even the obscure underground shyt. NY ain’t been the same since Big died and Jay retired. Hov carried the torch single handedly and even he had his weak moments and trash albums.

Other regions had decent movements since fukking 2000. L.A. had Kendrick, TDE. The Bay had a decent movement a few years ago with Larry June, Lil Pete, SOB RBE but the Bay scene mostly fizzled out because there are barely any nikkas left in hella Bay Area hoods.
