Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Them young ny n_’s aint doin s*** but bitin atl & The chi dependin on what their vibe is.

Till they develop their own sound, who gives af?

Wrong. I could wholeheartedly agree with this about 4 years ago but now that's not the case

It's comical how y'all have this "sound" argument when it comes to NYC artist but don't make those same proclamations with any artist from anywhere else

Just pure laziness

Someone made the argument that the internet and social media caused this.

Pre web era, people didn’t know other cities/state lingos, sound, and fashion. You had to wait for the video or song on the radio. Unless you’re going to a concert to see it. You really didn’t have the accessibility that we have now and it’s at real time.

so the same slang and sound is being used everywhere - so it seems that people are copying when in actuality we’re all sync as one.

but my argument with that is - originality - that what stands you out from everyone else. We need more of that.

CAUSE YA’LL THE ONLY ONES BITING!!!!

California/Bay area has a sound, Chicago has a sound, Detroit has a sound, The South has a sound (Louisiana, Texas, Florida, the Carolinas and Atlanta) have distinguished sounds....

New York is blatantly biting the South

I can still pinpoint where artists are from. There’s still regional lingo and social activity that can be distinguished

i fw it

@ that Stevie Ray gif knowing all the ****ery WCW had going on at the time

That’s the herpes dude right???

 

[finessence]

New Yorkers full of excuses. Defending these trash rappers more than y’all defend that turf of y’all’s, that’s being gentrified.

Mfers typing with NO elbow room. Shut up

Joe Crack

Fat Joe remains one of the dopest hip hop personalities.

 

[RIP Screw]

finessence not having it today

A REAL NYC resurgence is literally happening before our eyes and the haters don't even realize it. No young absolute surefire commercial superstar YET but a plethora of young street rappers who know how to make bangers.

Haven't heard so many young underground rappers being bumped out of cars and at functions in a looooong time.

When the summer comes it's gonna be even more prevalent let alone when GS9 and Max B come home.


Stay woke.

So basically NY catching up with everybody else?

 

[RIP sleazyy]

Crack hit & was considered a party drug at first, people just figured it was another casual thing like Coke. didn't know the effects would be that bad.

this pretty obvious when you realize how many super rich folks were smoking crack in the 80s and 90s

Wonder if IG was around back then which OGs woulda been just casually sparkin' up crack

 

[marikomorose]

Wonder if IG was around back then which OGs woulda been just casually sparkin' up crack

If ig was around back then a lot of ppl wouldn't be viewed so positive today

 

[WASHED KING]

Imagine the Crack pipe lighting smoke vid's....mannnnnn lmaooo

 

[str8drop]

madd people smoked crack back then. It didn't have the stigma attached to it back then as it does today.

Shout out to Joey. At least he's keeping it on brand.

Plus he used "we" in a loose, general way. He could've been referring to his generation's use of crack. He didn't necessarily say "I, Fat Joe, used to smoke crack when I was younger"

But but I thought the older heads was dealers not users

Info on "everybody else" ?

I knew ya would have a titty attack

Don't say nice things about anything NYC! We don't like that!

Don't you guys have your own thread!

Y'all remind me of the girl who thinks she's fire only because she has a fat butt

Faux elitist attitudes when it comes to rap for absolutely NO REASON

Man bro is like a whole nother rapper now compared to the 2 Legited days

Shame the antics and his image gonna overshadow cause he doing some of the better storytelling/picture painting out right now

The thought of seeing a crack pipe in the beginning of the video and knowing it's going to be fire lol

But but I thought the older heads was dealers not users

It was only a lil bit of crack so it's different

[finessence]

Sauce Walka gabbich man. Maxo wayyyyyyyyyy better. I would never drive, windows down, jamming his music. Man sucks.

maxo >>>>>>>

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I thought it was common knowledge that crack and cocaine were both social drugs, just at two completely different price points.

Crack definitely didn't have nearly the stigma it has not back then, and people used it a lot more casually. The way it's looked at has evolved a ton since the 80s. When it first hit the scene, it was a party drug.
