That’s funny

Judging from the comments I think a lot of people reacted too strong to the title and not really realizing the points I made. It’s like people think I’m saying the south sucks lmaoooo. In what world would I say that. Out of all people saying that, me saying that is hilarious

I think that's accurate, but you also didn't have these legends properly mentor or pass the skill torch to their kids.

Lmaooo

This short clip perfectly illustrates the past 20 years of rap music and lowkey the dynamic @YoungNastyShawty trying to illustrate 😂

Poetic the nigga besides waka yellin died over a piece of candy man.

Hey hey hey, you can get your jokes
imma get mine off too

Aight here's another one for them NY niggas, they hate this one

Hey NY Niggas, why do y'all let latin folks say nigga?

And NY Niggas, don't give me that 'we grew up in the same building his abuelo was the super' nonsense
Why do y'all NY Niggas be letting them say it?

that’s simply not even true if we’re talking about New ATL, Grand Hustle or the plethora of southern artists/labels

Big Krits first album literally has 2 Chainz, 8Ball and MJG, Luda, and Bun B. you niggas are charting lol

nigga inside a club tryna spit a freestyle, of course niggas not tryna hear that bullshit. this random clip didn’t prove anything lmfaooooo this like a white dude posting a 10 second clip of the soundcloud niggas saying turn off the sorry ass beat and saying “what happened to real rap???” like come on gang, I know you can do better than these low takes

If the south is so bad why didnt the northeast take back the mantle? Imo rap music is very diverse i dont have an issue with people making fun music, if thats what ppl rather hear it makes sense

I also agree that if rappers find more success with gimmicks its not rly the rappers fault its the fans

maybe the commercialization of hiphop boosting pop/country/dance fans into the genre did more damage to hurt the lyricist

• commercialization led by southern artists and everyone trying to sound like they’re from ATL

cause these fans just want a catchy beat with passable, catchy lyrics

• so you mean all the current rap hits with a southern sound and a southern flow/approach to bars

Even your defense of those things having nothing to do with the South, they really just come back to the South

This song epitomizes rap’s commercialization, no? Tell me what region it’s emulating and what song it interpolates rq

Migos and Waka were rapping over Grime beats in 2016 literally during Migos PEAK
I could deadass go year by year and post all the variety in music and sounds the south was providing from 2010-2019 that was not just trap or whatever the f*** you niggas got going on with your downtrodden hate lmfao

why you niggas hate the souths major influence so much? maybe the other regions just weren’t doing s*** or enough then…now you niggas blame the south in hindsight. Tuh

Do you really wanna take it there?

You know what? It ain't that deep. See the truth coming out from down South more than enough to not need to say anything lol

That wasnt their main palette of what they rapped on though

migos however were way more diverse beat wise than most of the post 2020 trap rappers who largely just kinda fall into that detroit florida sound or whatever is trendy in ATL

I'm just playing man
My fault OG

now you moving into a whole different decade of rap and dominant styles (rage, slizzy s***) where 2 major artists from the south were in jail for 2-3 years

what are we doing here? lmao. Carti ruined rap for everyone? cause I swear that Rage sound was made more popular by a west coast artist and Cash from NY…ya’ll correct me lmfao

Im not even thinking of the type of niggas who hop on rage or slizzy s*** im talking the YTB fatts bossman dlows fattsmaxks etc and moreso not even specifically them but the niggas under them in that same archetype of post 2020’s street rapper

I think the south in general pushes ethos of rap strictly/mostly being a hustle more than the north/east. And yes Cam and 50 kinda was on that too but the South took it to a whole nother level lol

none of those niggas have any influence on how niggas are rapping in 2026 or the 2020s compared to rage or slizzy or Detroit style which all the women do you just listing of southern rappers you don’t like lmaoooo they all got hard music they’ve made but you just chatting. who tf was checking for Fattsmaxk until 2 months ago and that moment already faded it was more exciting to hear a YouTube producer get a placement than “damn, Fattsmaxk just another southern rapper repeat”

You make the same argument for the west

They do this with every sound. My point is it’s not southern mc’s that lead to the decline it’s people from outside gentrifying the place
