People still claim asap rocky makes Texas music which is utter bullcrap. DJ mustard had nothing to do with YG's second album which is a damn near classic. You talking about hyphy when that's the bay **** has nothing to do with LA. Kendrick Lamar who is the best rapper out hands down doesn't have one ounce of Southern influence in his music at all his **** is straight g funk 90's West coast influenced. Yall pick and choose who yall want to hate on
Hyphy is still west coast. A new sound. Mustard sound is influenced by hyphy sounds. And was a new sound that dominated, and put the west up front. YG isn't YG without mustard. And Mustard produced almost all of YG's first album (one of the better ones of this decade). Kendrick is influenced by 3stacks and Wayne. But him and TDE brought a NEW SOUND with them.
Idk why it's so hard for NYC to realize y'all need to be innovative again? It worked for ASAP. Now make it work for other artist. Form a new sound and run with it together.
The way the South, West and Midwest did. NYC/East coast is the only region to not produce a new sound recently. All of the other regions brought something NEW to the table.
Step back and take an outside look from a non New Yorker.
