Atleast the West was putting out decent music, D4L and that will not be looked back on in 10 years and be enjoyed or called innovative and this is coming from someone who ha basically stopped listening to most west coast hip-hop.

According to you though. Sure you would say the West was putting out good music, you were a fan then. But for everyone person who thinks that the West was putting out hot shit, there's about 10 East Coast dudes that thought it was garbage. I'm sure most of us thought MC Eiht was dope. I'm sure almost all East Coast cats laughed at this dude. They probably all said the same exact thing you just said "10 years from now, he won't be enjoyed or called innovative."
See, you dudes keep naming the same people: D4L and Mike Jones. That's not the South. That's 2 artists out of 1,000's.

I'm not calling MC Eiht innovative either, there was atleast some dope stuff from the west coast just like there is some dope stuff from the south so it's not like I'm hating on all of the region like the people you're reffering too. This thread was about shitty groups like D4L and the Dutty Boys that's why they're mentioned. I love Hip-Hop from the South and I bet Nas does too.

This is what is retarded to me. Ignorant ass people saying "The south ain't hip hop, The west ain't hip hop, New York ain't hip hop any more". The south has some of the worst so called "hip hop" out. But they've also had some of the dopest hip hop out as well - Outkast, Cee-lo, UGK, Geto Boys, etc. New York has put out some HORRIBLE shit excuse for hip hop in the last few years, and it has also managed to put out some really dope shit recently as well.
Anybody that tries to pigeonhole a sound just because it comes from a particular region is a fuckin idiot. Don't hold an entire part of the country responsible because of Laffy Taffy. Hold the motherfuckers that buy that shit and bump it responsible. Don't say the south is wack or isn't hip hop because they have some wack shit that is getting some exposure. Fuck D4L but not the south.
I'd say the south is THE most hated on region in hip hop right now, but it's also because the perception is that anything from the south gets exposure. And the funny part is that while other regions may hate on it, they directly bite that shit to try tap into that fanbase. It's ridiculous. Let whoever is reppin the south do their own style. Respect it and move on. Don't bite it, understand and do your own style of hip hop. Thats what is wack to me - when peeps from their own respective areas dump their own livestyle and try to jump on what they think is a southern style acceptable music and try to pimp that cuz thats whats hot at the moment. What kind of frontin ass shit is that? But that would mean there would have to be some originality, and fuck, originality is hip hop's worst nightmare today.
Hip Hop limits itself so much because it is on some retarded ass turf war on a national scale. If they could embrace each other and say "Yes, the south is doing their thing, East does theirs, West does theirs" it would be gravy. Let the south be themselves. Instead of bitching about it, come with your own unique style and PROVE that your style is superior or should at least be respected on the same level. Don't bite their style to try to pimp some record sales. shit is wack.
Oh yeah and whoever this 'DJ' (and I use the term loosely) that caught feelings over Nas' comments needs to check himself. I don't think Nas said anyone in particular, so if he's gettin defensive than Nas must have struck a chord with him. Sounds like he's got a guilty conscience.

This thread isn't about D4L or any of these groups. It's about "the South being mad at Nas." But, it swayed to a topic that found people using the stereotypical defenses to oppose the South: "So and so isn't Hip Hop." As if they're authorities and what is an isn't Hip Hop.
Like dude said earlier, all you dudes is doing is exactly what you WHINED ABOUT (and sometimes still do) when the East did it to the West Coast. Instead of looking at a region as a whole, you single out only the "popular" artists. Why not single out Chamillionaire? Why not single out T.I.?

Have you ever even listened to either of them before? They been fuckin with the South for hela moons before the South was "the thing." In fact they played a big part in putting the South on. We fuck with the South and they fuck with us. Its always been like that.
