To add on to what Math said about ATL having "NY parents," yo, I say the same thing about hip hop's genesis. Those kids in the Bronx that were creating the hip hop culture in the early '70s had Southern parents, mainly from the Carolinas. The Carolinas have a huge footprint in the creation of hip hop. Coke La Rock, Trixie, Saza, MC Sha-Roc, Disco King Mario, and many others had parents from there or they were born there and then moved to NY in the '60s.

I’m with Mecca on how music is viewed from a Hip Hop perspective. And I’m from Atlanta. So Atlanta had its on run and it’s ongoing. When everyone booed OutKast after being best new artists nobody was claiming them from up top. Also Goodie Mobs debut album had Dirty South as a song which is basically saying what Mecca is saying on wax. Later on artists from NY during the late 90’s started to come down and do collab records. Raekwon on a OutKast record, Silk the Shocker on Camrons record, Jay Z on Juveniles record, etc. So it’s still separate from a Hip Hop perspective. Nobody ran down and called Uncle Luke East Coast. 😂
