Does the south have a guilty conscience ?

[The Kryptonian]

all i got to say is this


 hip hop is in it's 'hair metal' 'disco' phase sooner or later the industry will see a counter genre much like punk was to disco and grunge was to hair metal, then something else will spawn and we'll all be considered old fuddy duddy's for liking hip hop

this is TRUE shit.

I don't think that it's that the south has a "guilty conscious" - I think it's the fact that hip-hop heads (esp. New Yorkers, keeping it real) have hated on the south for years now, saying that they're not lyrical. So that now that a New York rapper says that Hip-Hip Is Dead, they think that it's just another person saying the same thing. I don't think that's what Nas was referring to, but they have plenty of reason to believe that. NY hip-hop fans are stuck up as hell (and that's no disrespect, cuz I love NY better than anywhere else, whether it be the actual area or the music from there), and they never give any other coast a chance, whether it's the south, west or midwest.

Sad thing is, south rap really can be lyrical, and people won't give it respect. Take Project Pat for example. His new album "Crook By Da Book: The Fed Story" is dope as hell, cuz it really exemplifies what southern rap is. East rap is primarily characterized by punchlines and wit, while southern rap is based on how much it depicts the culture of the south, and Pat does that perfectly. Pat's talking about broads, making bread, and surviving in the hood by working hard; that's what's really going on in the south, so that's what he raps about, and he does it well. South isn't any better than east coast rap; they're just different, like apples and oranges.

You summed it up perfectly right there.
