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

No the proof is not there in the main sound of the albums. Not at all. If u talkin bout a few collabs here n there that's a shytty argument. The main rappers and producers on
Ruff Ryders: Rappers - DMX, The Lox, Eve, Drag On.
Producers - Dame Grease and Swizz Beatz.

Diplomats: Rappers - Cam'Ron, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, JR Writer, 40 Cal, Hell Rell, Un Casa.
Producers - Just Blaze, Heatmakerz, Kanye West.

Rocafella: Rappers - Jay Z, Memphis Bleek, State Property, Dipset, Kanye West, MOP.
Producers - mainly Just Blaze, Bink, Kanye West.

D Block: Rappers - The Lox, Jae Hood, 357.
Producers - Vinny Idol, Poobs, Liveson, Swizz Beatz.

G Unit: Rappers - 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, The Game.
Producers - Dr. Dre, Red Spyda, Eminem, random variety of producers for them. Too many to name.



All of these Artists and producers are very East Coast based and oriented. Name the southern counterparts that came before them. Name the southern styles they jacked. And don't name some damn random collabs on an album either. I'm talkin overall styles.

What does rosters have to do with this discussion? I said NY been borrowing from the south, midwest, and west since '97 and i meant that. Go back, listen to those albums. Anything other than that, stay out of my alerts

Biting can't save y'all, trying to create a hater hive mind mentality cant save yall. It's over. How many times will I have to say that place will never bounce back to relevance?

Ny dudes have to bite the south because
Ny rap is not popping. Idk why they take pride in biting nikka. Cali and south never bit ny. They have one rapper in the top 100 on billboard getting radio spins. South got 8. California 7. Y'all are never gonna be hott as u was 98-05 and 79-88. And many south artist are independent. South still the best California two ny a distant third or 4th chicago Midwest hotter than u too. Kendrick and yg better than everyone in ny. Stop it coli


Cali aint hot dude

And the south never bit ny?

Lol their 2 biggest rappers in the last 10 years(cole ,wayne)

Took ny styles

The south didn't "take over" hip hop until about 2006. As of now, no region in particular runs rap, but besides J.Cole, Future & Young Thug none of the hottest artist in rap come from the south.
I actually live in the south now and southern artist are nowhere near as big as they were when I first moved here.

There's this artist from the same state as you, he's kinda popular at the moment, maybe you've heard of Travis $cott :comeon:

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.

nah breh :mjlol:

if he was compared to the biggest draws in the south in that regard as far as "show money"...he wouldn't even make a top 10 list...you think this dude with his one song, which overshadows his name as the actual draw is getting 30-40k a show like Gotti, Boosie, Thugga, Migos, Gates, Jeezy, Juicy J, Dolph etc. :usure:

Fetty Wap is probably the only East Coast rapper that can get "show money" on par with them.
