I thank them all for their contributions and keeping the spirit of hip hop alive when once upon a time they said it wouldn't last and now we're 50yrs strong and a best selling genre with rappers of all races from all over the world embracing the culture ❤

[@marzdavinci5970]

NY had some whack rappers, but they were always better at gatekeeping for talent. Most NY artists of the 90's had classic albums. That falls off heavily in other regions without local bias. Every Rapper in Wu Tang has a classic solo album. No disrespect to Goodie Mob, but they just didnt have that. I'm from the South. NC to be exact so we had some east coast sensibilities while still being southern. During those times I remember growing up and hearing my older cousins playing Wu Tang and Onyx, then turn around and put on Pastor Troy and Master P.

[@hitek9too255]

Because in NC we always had southern and northern/East Coast influences in our fashion, styles, slang, and hip hop. Plus, a lot of us have families and ties to the Tri-State area. That's why we never participated in this NY hate, North vs South, East Coast vs North stuff. Overall, I agree with your comment. I love Goodie Mobb, Master P, No Limit, OutKast, Scarface, Eightball and MJG, K-RINO, David Banner, UGK, T.I, Jeezy, Jermaine Dupri, Getoboys, MC Shy D, but other than that, Southern Hip Hop isn't that great, even when compared to the West Coast which is far superior. The overall talent level, quality, content, and lyricism is no way comparable to NY/East Coast rap. I remember in the mid 2000s to go from Canibus, Busta Rhymes, Lost Boyz, Big Pun, Mobb Deep, AZ to Franchise Boyz, ShopBoyz, D4L, Webbie was terrible. I even prefer the Midwest over Southern rap; they have Common, J.Dilla, Obie Trice, Bone Thugs, Slum Village, Royce Da 5'9", Do Or Die, Illa J, Binary Star, Lupe, Tech N9ne, Da Brat, etc.

I'd never thought I'd see the day when the top artist would be from Canada (Drake) Furthermore, this narrative that New York fell off is false. As with everything, evolution occurred. If evolution doesn't occur it dies. The record companies (those who really run hip hop) understood this and looked elsewhere.
