She just mad the bitin didn’t work. NYC lost its way with the gangbanging and ain’t been the same ever since.

[Ghostface Trillah]

Only elitist new yorkers think this and they all sound stupid

 

[RammerJammer]

Ain’t nobody tell NY to copy the South’s sound in the first place, they could’ve kept doing their own thing but did they? Nope.

 

[Hannibal Fox]

Any more than the Jiggy era sound that NY was on for a hot minute?

At the end of the day the consumer dictates for the most part, what sound takes prominence.

It's difficult to predict what will get over however everything comes full circle.

"nikkas can't sell records so they blame it on the South"

"nikkas can't sell records so they blame it on the South"

nikkas ain’t got enough creativity to come up with they own shyt so they blame it on the South.

 

[CrushedGroove]

What's crazy is every region had it's own sound. Very few NYers worked with the South which caused them to band together and represent for their own. Nobody telling NY artists to sign deals where labels make them put out music sounding like the South.

I miss when NY sounded like NY because I was able to envision through the music and lyrics. Same with LA and the Bay. Same with H-Town, Louisiana and everywhere else.

The sound has become streamlined across the board, a lot of southern hip-hop is just easily digestible which is easy to understand in a society constantly on the move. People don't take or have time to break down lyrics like they used to.

Not to mention, it's always someone from the East Coast complaining about the South. You never hear anyone from the West or the Midwest saying shyt.

The South has had the game on lock for the longest out of everybody

 

[Zero]

She just mad her second album got shelved and she never recovered

 

[Harry B]

Far from southern but just looking at other genres, the south saved hiphop. Brought mad new dimensions, genres usually start dying when no one innovates new sounds. And rap was getting pretty static.

Mostly it was the production but also flows and melody.

All these karaoke rappers that haven’t managed to bring anything new to the game but just mimicking what’s been done are always complaining. Basically saying, “dudes can’t even mimic what I came up on anymore”.
