You are ALWAYS dismissive of everything you don't personally like.
Post the Beans interview
Breh, alternative rap doesn't change the fact that they're Southern pioneers.
Eightball & MJG put Memphis on the map and laid the foundation for styles like crunk and trap.
OutKast made people look at Atlanta as a viable Hip Hop city. Did they make Atlanta dominant? No.
I wasn't bragging. You pointed out that there were people disagreeing with. What's funny is that those that were disagreeing with me were arguing that Kast pioneered trap music. Not only that, they went as far as to saying they made it mainstream. I simply pointed out that you were in here arguing with a post that agreed with me.
We are talking about The South as a region are we not? This would be like someone from Florida going into a thread on the "King Of NY" talking about how Biggie, Jay, or Nas was perceived outside of NY and looking foolish because it wasn't even the point or premise of the discussion. Said poster from Florida would have no credibility on the subject whatsoever because they are an outsider who really doesn't have any standing in such a discussion. You're not qualified to speak on who moved the needle for The South. For one, you're biased. Two, you've proven you don't know what you're talking about because you seem to think No Limit blew up the entire South. You're still in here trying to paint Eightball & MJG as regional when artists as diverse as Mase, Foxy Brown, Mobb Deep, Too Short, Krayzie Bone, and artists outside of Hip Hop such as Brian McKnight and Limp Bizkit were calling on them for remixes. That means, to some degree, they made noise outside of their respective region to where people were on their music.
What ground did Eightball & MJG break? They were selling hundreds of thousands of copies without a major distributor, which was unheard of at the time that they did it. They pioneered some of the styles that later became popular i.e. crunk and trap.
Those "idiots" as you call them, had a valid point. You purport yourself as a Hip Hop head and a historian, but were dismissive of The Source. No one is saying their word was the end-all, be all, but it was respected and held in high regard by Hip Hop heads.
i guess outkast is over him too. that don't make ti the king
not saying that everybody on that list are rappers I'm a huge fan of either. No one comes close to scarface wen it comes to bieng named king of the south.
