Why Do Southern Nikkas Have a New York Inferiority Complex

[livindajetlife]

Why y’all New York nikkas so upset hov won’t be regarded like y’all hold him lol

 

[Knucklehead]

Who the hell even thinks like this anymore? You have to be a complete simpleton to only listen to your regions music and cut yourself off from the other great music being made.

Jay Z was 10x bigger than Jeezy in the South.

It's funny how Southern nikkas swear up and down that they don't follow Jay-Z like that...


Yet they were bumping and buying his records

*The South surpassed NY in the 2010s

Of course. That's how the game goes Jeezy had the world on smash during his run but Jigga was still going off on those remixes

Jeezy, T.I., Ross etc was regional Southern acts

Jeezy and T.I definitely got played in NYC during their prime. I was in NYC public school during those years....



I recall kids stanning them, singing their songs, etc back then.

Too lazy to watch the IG clip but in 2005 Jeezy was one of the hottest rappers in the game and Jay was retired, I could see Jeezy being more popular in the south during that time period.

Well around that time Jeezy was on fire Jay was the president at Def Jam. But he just came off The Black Album.

Right. This a insecure ass thread. Back then alot of different rappers had their run at the top. Its not that big a deal to say Jeezy was hotter than Jay at one point because we all was there to see it.

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

its more of a the south has a jay z inferiority complex. dudes from the south really use jay z as the benchmark and love to brag how they werent bumping jay z and how he got no play in the south

Only jay z I wanna hear in the whip is a toyota

 

[Will Ross]

jeezy was more relevant that is why jay z got on songs with him. Jeezy legit had schools banning his merch all over the country.

New York used to set the trends but nowadays you don't know if they wanna be from Chicago or from ATL...

The South definitely won.


I think what also helped the Souf was the fact that they:

1.Stuck together and was willing to give each other a helping hand unlike NYC.

2. Their producers didn't just depend on sampling. Southern nikkas knew to incorporate live instrumentation in their stuff. Lord Jamar said that he incorporated some Pimp C production techniques for their 1994 album "Everything is Everything.

Plus the South introduced strippers and Strip Club Culture to a legion of gameless simps and video hoes became just as popular as rappers themselves.

blame the old heads

they were coming down from uptop a different type of fly

put money up it has to do with how the women were responding

HA

So does the West. You'd be hard pressed to find a NY nig just hatin on the South or Cali like you see them just blindly hating on NY. Rap was cool when NY had it in a smash totally, you know that...everybody is damn near mentally feeble since ATL took it...no offense.
