RIP New York Hip-Hop? (Need Some Feedback)

I only named who I **** with. Reese always been wack to me. I listened to one of the Drilluminati tapes, ain **** with it. So I don't listen to Louie. I don't listen to female rappers save for Lauryn Hill. Mouse is cool but I don't check for him. Never heard of the other dudes but I'll check em out.

I like Lil Reese's hook game :rofl: :lol:. Dude writes some good hooks to me. As far as who I've heard, Mick Jenkins, Herb, and Bibby, are the nicest, to me. If L'A Capone had not lost his life, it would have been a wrap. He was the drill version of Nas to me. Dude was only 17, when he died.

These Chi rappers are even more generic than the Atlanta ones

Basically. All them dudes suck outside of Herb and Bibby, keef is my guy but he's past his prime at like 20 and is not ascending anymore. None of those dudes are better than the NYC "c listers". Still waiting on Nay to name ONE of these "million" A+ prospects coming out the south.
 
I'm pretty sure he didn't say there were a "million A list prospects" coming out the south. I think he said a million dudes out the south who have some general appeal to get themselves a buzz and make moves.
 
I hate the fact that Chicago is sleeping on SD. I feel like his debut album was pretty good. He doesn't get any recognition now that he's distanced himself from the rest of GBE.

I also fool with Montana 300, Tink, Sasha Go Hard, Dreezy & when I want to hear party type music I'll blast some Sicko Mobb. Chicago would definitely have the juice right now if all of their artists would stop killing each other.

Until then, us bamas/country bumpkins/ whatever yall people want to call us, will continue to run hip hop. Other regions could definitely learn a thing or two from us.

Denzel Curry, Tito Lopez (he went ghost for a bit), of course KRIT (although a veteran) Young Roddy, are a couple overlooked southerners.

SD is ill!!! That "She Boring" track. The whole Savage series, and the new tape he just dropped. Chicago has more diversity than atlanta. You've got Chance, Vic Mensa, Herb, Bibby, Tink.

Also, add Duke the Beast, S.Dot/Dotarachi too some dope, lesser known Chicago emcees, that are in the mix.

Atlanta is straight strip club and sippin music, as far as modernity. Chicago is more diverse.

All these names I'm seeing mentioned that have the NYC of 2015 sound or BK 2015 sound are dudes I either haven't heard any music from so I don't have an opinion and the other half are dudes I don't feel hyped about in the least.

I dunno man, where's the mass appeal on a local level? If these dudes are doing it right I feel like I should be able to walk down flatbush or the Veer or over on Linden and hear their music bumping hard (which again goes back to the NYC listeners aint really supporting most of these new NYC rappers).

And as far as mainstream, which somebody else already brought up, I'm not really hearing quality rap music from these other regions anyway. To me I'm not hearing this vast amount of talent. Dudes will mention the west and south and list off a grip of names but 2 names in most of the time I'm like them other ppl you just mentioned are whack to me or average at best and are only good for a few club/party tracks. So why should I feel any type of way about my region not being on top when the whole state of hip hop has fallen off with what's currently dominating the airwaves posing as quality rap?

J.Cole is cool, got his whole swag and rap style from the barely breathing East Coast though. Future ain't ****, overrated as **** if u ask me. They'll be another n_ from the A that everyone **** rides after everyone gets tired of the repetitive **** he constantly "raps" about. If Yung LA didn't turn into a dust head and get his *** whooped he wouldn't be nearly as "big" as he is. _s really want to act like Tweet Mill ain't outsell this n_ but but he the hottest in the game doe

If you can't feel this. Idk what to tell you.

I swear to everything I turned this **** off under 5 seconds when he started rapping. I even skipped somewhere to the middle.

Nah b. I'd have to be high on something at a party for me to get by on that playing.

If I want to listen something like that but pleasing to my ears I'd just play some Max B. mixtapes.

You need producers that can make hot **** in 2015 but still sounds like NY.

You also need dudes that can make club bangers but still sound NY.

Basically, you need to create a new NY sound that isn't based in the 90's (Joey Bad ***) or just a rehash of the 2000's (Troy Ave).
 
I thought this was really dope when I first heard it this summer



Also

YouTube Searched this dude off the strength of me seeing that Nas is pushing him hard and he's on Nas' Mass Appeal label





**** sound straight to me.

I don't think NY's problem is that there is a lack of talent I just think no one has a unique sound.
 
^Had no idea Nas was behind that Mass Appeal label. Was wondering if anything was up after Ill Will Records changed to the Jones Experience. Some very solid artists under there.
 
If everybody from the east coast ****** with Harry Fraud like the south ***** with zaytoven and the west does mustard NYC rap wouldn't be in the shape its currently in

True.

Shot Caller and some of the pre-MMG/Bad Boy French stuff sounded like what new New York should sound like.

5 seconds is even enough to try and digest the music. "You hated before you played it". That's the problem with some people.

Personally, I give everything a real chance to try and see the appeal. I then decide if it's for me after actually trying to listen to it.
