Fam what?
Cyhi and Gambino are ALL ATL
Gambino just dropped a fukking song called "Candler Road" and Cyhi BEEN had all his videos recorded in ATL as well as various anthems:
Breh every artist from ATL has the "Atlanta song". Those artists aren't branding themselves as Atlanta artists though...Cyhi is in Greg Street's hip pocket but because Cyhi doesn't build in Atlanta the right way he's irrelevant locally. Bino ehh. Nobody locally is checking for these dudes like that. You gotta remember the comp to get on in Atlanta is ridiculous EVERYBODY is rappin. Just havin cosigns & "Atlanta songs" ain't gonna get Atlanta behind you. The sad thing is, the blueprint on how to get on is so fukkin easy, but nikkaz wanna try & reinvent the wheel shyt every summer

Cyhi is FROM atlanta.
Gambino is FROM atlanta
and they both rep it in their way. WTF are you talking about?
Why do they have to conform?
You're talking past me. You started out saying that these people aren't from ATL. Thats patently false.Aye breh chill. I know this Atlanta rap shyt like the back of my hand... They are examples of being from Atlanta & not being embraced by the city b/c they don't build in the city the right way. This conversation isn't about repping Atlanta in a song, I already told you everybody from Atlanta is gonna have their. "This is my Atlanta song" record
Also it's not about conforming..,you can build relationships in the industry, rep the city & not have to change your sound. But if you don't make the attempt don't be surprised when people locally aren't fukking with you
You're talking past me. You started out saying that these people aren't from ATL. Thats patently false.
If you're arguing why they haven't truly hit it big in the city, thats a completely different issue.
What is this blueprint you speak of?
Building with the street DJs, the strip club DJs...you don't need to go after radio in Atlanta, you can do shows and build a buzz from the strip clubs. If you feed the DJs, you'll be on (assuming you got hot music). But if you make music & then you're not building with people in the city, why should anybody care. Being from Atlanta & making an Atlanta song ain't sayin nothin, that's what you supposed to do
