I get this vibe more from east coast nikkas if anything. Down south nikkas be cool as hell, and for the most part we get along with everybody as long as you don't be on no bullshyt.
not sure about this on a wide scale but it made me have a flashback to when one of my cousins from kinston nc came up north to visit
and he whupped me AND my other cousin ass. i remember he kept saying "this how us down south bois do it" while he was fukking us up
granted he was like twice our size and older but that shyt was humbling. we couldn't wait until his country ass went back home
Yes, it still holds weight in the minds of the fans due to the fact NY was (still is) the epicenter/mecca of Hip-Hop so getting a thumbs up or thumbs down matter when it came from us...believe it or not.
Kast MAY be bigger than Mobb but I'd argue Mobb is more respected in Hip-Hop for numerous reasons.
Also, Kast ain't better than Wu. No duo or group from the South touching them but that's a convo for another time
Key word, WAS the epicenter.
Nobody checking for a NY co-sign like that now.
That’s because yall failed to protect your creation
Yall should’ve took notes from earlier southern artist like James Brown and Ray Charles on how to innovate new sounds AND OWN and control it. Now you big boot wearing fools on the outside looking in on some shyt you birthed
Finally I fukks with Wu but I’d take the dungeon family any day as a stable.

Ball & G >>> Mobb deep
Chicago to:New York claims Chicago- fuk Kanye.. Chicago is not in the south. Chicago is closer to the North than Southern states.
They really wouldn’t even have beat breaks to rap over without the south. The most sampled musician is James Brown. But I’m not here to hate, I’ve rarely met an NYer that didn’t let it be known. The folks I know are cool… but they’ve been down south a minute
Close enough. Stfu. Arkansas isn’t claiming Chicago. They can’t even get their damn name pronunciation right.Chicago to:
Little Rock: 9h 25 min
Memphis:7h 50 min
Jackson: 10h 45 min
NYC: 12h 33m
Cut it out. The Chi (Central Midwest in general) and the South have extremely close family ties to the areas above other than NYC.
The entire Dungeon Family matches up evenly with Wu. You can’t put Kast up against the entire Wu, you’d have to put them against like a Rae and Ghost. All things equal, it’s not really how you’re trying to present it.
