Why has Mississippi barely produced any major rappers?

Mississippi has no real hip hop identity to todays generation. No strip clubs, businesses, or bad bytches go there.

:dwillhuh:
There are bad bytches in Mississippi. I know for sure most of y’all nikkas ain’t been there talking all crazy.

You up north fakkits better get off the Sip back..punk ass nikkas wouldn’t survive one day in Mississippi but us country nikkas can thrive in the city or the country.


Mississippi is the epicenter of American music in general. They’ll be alright if they don’t have any rappers with top 40 hits.


:wow: real music

Because musically (at least hip hop/rap wise) we're stationed in the middle of Louisiana, Tennessee and Atlanta (and texas, to an extent).

It's kinda hard to develop a unique sound when you're bombarded on all sides like that.

Hand in hand with that, if you sound too unique, people aren't gonna fukk with you enough for your movement to gain traction past a borderline local/regional level.

Spent a lot of time in the Sip. Biloxi, Gulfport, Moss Point what’s up! Coming down from Carolina as a kid, I used to hate it but as I’ve grown older, I’ve grown to appreciate that state. Ain’t nothing like a club down there, and them juke joints in the delta :wow:.

Banner, Krit, and Rae Sremmurd are hip hop, but they also make good music. Mississippi is music. It’s African American music.

I always thought this song was dope



And found it funny that you could hear the pain in David Banners voice that black folks left Mississippi and the deep south the fukk behind and now don't even mention or claim the state even though most of us got roots and family there:manny:

Even when the rappers shout out a dozen states and cities in their songs they don't mention Mississippi:hubie:

We from a place
Where ya used to come in the summertime
Now y'all don't mention us in your rhymes :mjcry:

we kin folk:mjcry:


You made me nostalgic as hell breh. First thing that came to my mind was goin to my homeboy's grandparents country town in Florida when I was 11.


My dad's side of the fam from the Sip tho, Clarksdale stand up! :blessed:

Jamaican Somali nikkas from Canada in here saying one of the states that laid a part of the foundation for Hip Hop isn't Hip Hop.:dead:this why AAs need to start taking this type of shyt more seriously. This shyt is culture, not just entertainment.

Much of the Hip Hop attitude comes from Funk music which is southern. Funk played the same role in the AA community back then that rap plays today and has for the last 40 years.

If you want to keep it all the way real you could say early Hip Hop was basically a part of the evolution of Funk and Disco and later on Soul and Jazz. Really up until samples played out.

The real answer to the question is no or lack of industry.

Spot on.

I keep having to remind myself that these nikkas saying Mississippi ain’t hip hop is foreign nikkas from NY, Toronto, the UK, Caribbean, etc. Anything that comes from Mississippi or the Deep South is real deal AA shyt.

You’re exactly right in that there is a lack industry. nikkas from MS know if they are to get on, they’ve got to leave and either start poppin in ATL or Houston.
