The constant need or encouragement for newer rappers to make 'new york sounding music' or 'bring back new york' or 'restore the feeling' or 'bring back that golden era rap' is a huge part of why New York has lost its identity... its basically in a stagnant state to the point that some rappers have even said fukk it and became impromptu Drill artists or basically rapping from the boroughs of New Atlanta.

ASAP was the only glimpse of what the future or what the future of new york hip hop could look like if creatively the newer artists are allowed to thrive and find THEIR own sound that connect with their own generations within their own communities and in effect pattern and patent a style that others can connect with cross the country and build a movement thru the internet. Now for those who will say, well ASAP took a lot of influence from other places ... well isn't that hip hop. You become linfluenced by something then in turn ... make your own lane/brand/wave and your own twist on it?


Waste men like Papoose, Troy Ave, uncle Murda are simply lost. Living in 1994 or 2004. Haven't yet made it to 2014 yet and could never even fathom the future of where music is going. Unfortunately for a lot of you ole heads on this site ... since I know you live in denial. The Youth drives music influences and choices. Its not for nothing why we have Migos, Young Thug and others currently buzzing on the come up because of the support from these younger people who want to be different, unique and connect with something that they can identify as theirs or themselves. While we have others that have no avid support from the teens/younger generations not having that movement/buzz currently.

Simply put to not stray too far away from the point.

The idea of the 'New York Sound' has completely STOPPED the progress of hip hop in New York and created a cycle of rappers choosing between trying to sound like other regions or trying to time travel back into 2003.

Sadly, New York is not a place where creative minds and trend setters are born. Its the home to the lost nyggas, swagless flattop dudes and followers.

Weigh in brehs.

LA still has a ways to go before we can say that its back.

Not too many NY nikkas got swag n global appeal like they used to back in the day. nikkas all over the country used to look up to cats like Jay, Slick, Ghost,X, Big, Nas, 50, Banks, Cam n Juelz, Jadakiss, Fab etc.

Are the Troy Aves, Old Droogs, Flatbush Zombies, n Action Bronsons really commanding the same level of respect and admiration? :mjpls:
