"The South fukked up Hip Hop's sound"

[IllmaticDelta]

You can't be serious.

50 himself is one of the earlier NY rappers to be influenced by the South's rise of the late 90s, esp pre Get rich or die trying. You must be young. Eminem ain't influence shyt but TRL and farm club.com white boys.

facts

drake himself be tapping into those southern sonics



autotune and talkbox aren't the same



lupe and kendrick don't sound like eminem sonically speaking




singing rappers predates even jarule

You're not even negating what I said

Autotune and Talkbox are the same principle, come on breh

Kendrick and Lupe both say Eminem one of their greatest influences. It isn't your opinion. You can google it if you want

Obviously singer rappers predate Ja Rule. Thats why I said MODERN. Kids these days only know of Ja Rule and Drake for who influenced them

Drake is a well known Kanye stan, like I said it isn't your opinion, you can google as well

Im from NY of southern background. 50cent sounds like a NY afram w/o a distinct southern tinge when he's not put on a fake accent

50cent doesn't sound southern outside of specific rapping/musical settings. That's why I posted the videos with him being interviewed so you can hear his real accent.

I don't think everything needed to be boom-bap, but the south, with the exception of a few artists/groups, certainly didn't concern themselves with maintaining the standard of 'skilled MCing' set by the east coast. I don't think 'being nice' mean as much in any other part of the country as it did on the east coast.

The south used rap purely as a hustle.

The problem with that is, because of rap's influence, being simple-minded AND ignorant as fukk became cool. Entertainers are trend setters, ESPECIALLY in our community, and especially rappers.

And someone up above hit it on the nail: I've heard soooo many people dismiss rappers with skill. 'We don't give a fukk about that bullshyt!'

I'm proud to say I've never had a friend or even a close associate who didn't appreciate lyricism. I don't think it's a reach to say, there is a connection between that, and every single one of my friends and associates being regarded by the people that know them as highly intelligent.

If were being real the south saved hip hop.

At a certain point, you gotta admit that you're old and what you like ain't what the streets are feeling.

I was just in my old hood yesterday evening, "the streets" aint really into this weirdo rap stuff that's winning out here too heavy, it's the internet. Before, in rap, you had to be solidified in the hood first, to then ring off on a big scale, but now the internet dictates what's hot. Weird times.

I do miss the aspect of hip hop artists having to grind and have a local following before blowing up. Many current artists still went that route, but a lot of these folks just come out of nowhere. People in their own city never even heard of them.

by getting shot in the mouth*

Not just the way he sound. He was using southern slang in his shyt. Shouting out southern themes and shyt. He was very New York but he was new-New York for the time that knew what was going on outside of the city. Pre get rich or die trying.

Neither sounds sonically like eminem. kendrick is more andre 3000 than he is Eminem

drake and kanye both pull from southern sonics

his rapping/vocal delivery is what sounds southern
