The success of Designer/Bobby Shmurda just shows no one checks for southern music outside the beats

[DaSk8D00D]

@ this nikka reaching back 20 years to find southern artists with longevity.

Rocky has already outlasted every hot southern rapper from this generation bar Future. Now who was Rocky copying again? You're telling me that Houston nikkas who can't even get on are supposed to have better long term careers then Rocky?

& once again, you're dismissing creating a classic album like it's nothing, the entire south hasn't been able to produce a better project in 10 years, Rocky last album was trash still went gold off the strength of that first mixtape, he still outselling everybody from the south besides that nikka who sounds like he's from New York. Rocky is far more likely to have that 8ball MJG career then Migo's. Just admit it you have no point, bringing up Rocky was random and the worst thing you could've done because his career has been the embodiment of NY nikkas doing southern music better than nikkas from the south.

Hard for me to take an L when I live on the west coast where we've got better beats, lyricists, & weed than the east & the south:stephjax:

You keep championing asap rocky,desiigner, & fetty wap like they gonna bring y'all back to prominence again:stephumad09:. I love NY hip hop but in 2016 y'all claim to fame is having the most successful biters

My arguments have been decimated and I have no retort

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Nikka no...

NYC is notorious over the last decade for not breaking in

I throw on hot 97 at work all the time and the only rap they play is drake and new York nikkas, the rest is r&b

 

[HoldThisL]

South nikkas all up in their feelings in this thread.

 

[BabyFaceKillahh]

All y'all nikkas clowns

Facts. Beats and flow play an extremely large part in hip hop now, the south just so happened to hop on the "hard beat/diff flow" shyt first, so people were forced to listen.

Once NY/East Coast started doing the same thing they started over shadowing the south.

Desiiner-Panda number 2 song
Bobby Shmurda-Hot nikka peaked at like Number 4

Fetty wap-Numerous hits

meanwhile bammas like Yo Gotti and Young dolph gotta tour 250 times a yaer and release countless records jus to crack the hot 100

Who has made more money off their music?

How are you on the top 10 in the Mecca and still a broke boi

 

[Momentum]

2 one hit wonders is what yall hanging onto now

2016 NY Hip Hop

 

[Kokoro]

But nobody buys their generic garbage

 

[DaSk8D00D]

Yep, you win @NvrCMyNut . And the coli cares just as much as much as New York will when desiigner's album goes triple woodchips & y'all looking for the next YouTube star to replace him:kobesmug:

He's making more off show money than those southern artists flopping on sales, since they only get 10 cents off every dollar for every album sold. Yeah that's cool...oh, and they have to pay back their label with THAT money.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Dumb trash post

Listen to DS2 and say that

 

[Bawon Samedi]

Even with Drill rap, random NY rapper starts drill rappin, getting millions of views




Chicago bammas dont even do them numbers no more

These losers have no shame biting the drill scene.

Does New York City have an identity issue?

Bet they NEVER shot any guns.

 

[Wacky D]

bobby schmurda is more than just beats.

its his whole delivery, voice, aura, presentation.

hes basically a lesser-skilled un kasa but in a weaker era with a hit record & conspiracy charge..................with that said I'm down.

That shyt is SHORT TERM tho. Yo gotti got shytted on a couple times in this thread and dude has like 5+ albums, how can anyone knock that when being compared to people who were nobodies not even months ago? He may not even get paid what desiigner is right now a show but his career will last exponentially longer and have a core following that will still keep him paid & doing shows 4-5 years from now, while designer will be just as relevant as yung LA before 2017. Y'all need to stop, ain't none of y'all actually buying any of these NY copycats albums nor will half of them even make it that far to begin with, So no, NY cats are NOT better at making southern music, they're just lucky to enough to find a gimmick & go viral while being in the most famous city in the world.

Since when were singles numbers and YouTube view a legit way to measure how much better an artist is at making music? ALBUMS is how you solidify yourself as a true player in this music game so there's no fukking way some weak ass viral buzz is gonna make me think that one artist is better than the one's they're copying thatve been around for years. I'm not even a huge fan of a lot of the non-elite southern acts but I can recognize their authenticity & discographies. none of the NY dudes mentioned in this thread will have that longevity, nor are their actual singles even all that impressive to begin with so the whole premise of this thread is just

Bobby isn't southern at all
