Well truth is, the West coast is ridin with the south a WHOLE LOT MORE than the East rode with us. Everytime you go to a party in L.A., you'll hear more down south music than anything else, and afterwards, damn near every car ridin by will be bumpin somethin from the south. The only people who "hate" are the lyrical heads, or the ones who are just bitter. I don't know many people out here who just don't like anything from the south. Some people here might not like their club music, but they'll like a few artists from there. And as far as lyrics only...I think the rappers we had came with much better flows and deliveries to their average lyrics, while the south brings more personality and catchiness to their average lyrics...so it's not much different. However, for both of us, the main rappers who will be remembered in the future brought a mixture of everything from lyrics to personality to overall image. Most people outside the West can only name 1-2 4-Tay songs, if that....and in 10-15 years, Franchise Boys will only be known for their 1-2 major songs, if that.

I live out here in the West. Most of my homies dig that South shit. Most people I know dig that South shit. It's only here on Dubcc and various other forums that you really see cats diss the South (unless of course you're surrounded by Backpackers, who think everythings wack). Reality is though, people on here will downplay the South for their lyrics, but all the while they're bigging up W.C., Daz, etc. Thats the funny shit to me.
how can hip-hop teach and be positive if we cant dance, how many "2-low" need 2 come back out (Scarface album "The world...") b4 we have anotha conspiracy in hiphop again. There's alot of bullshittin artists out there and theres alot of REAL niggas out there rappin 2. just cuz EVERYBODY say "these niggas aint real/they never served them deals" rhymes dont mean that 99% of tha rappers didnt do shit at one point in they life, especially if you from a big city. As far as lyrics and mainstream go, u gota look at it from a BUSINESS state of mind, its like why would u sell beef noodle water and everybody wants coke. Its targeted 2 tha younger generation cuz we are tha ones who keep it alive, u cant b 50 rappin. Niggas talk about lyrics lyrics lyrics wen half of that shit dont even matter, just like ALOT of 90's (so long ago) rappers werent really sayin shit on most of tha album but "my flow is hot like sauce /ima boss like god /bullshit talks and fall /while tha feds is on my balls" no point- its just how "real" u are. its tha same shit we talkin now just more lyrically inclined rather than "i got golds on my teeth /and nikes on my feet/ lean wit it rock wit it/ im all about my cheese". It's a fact nowadays tha radio/p/etc. doesnt "kill" hiphop its tha fans, nobody else does. if we all went out and brought every conscience lyrical positive gangbangin from tha past 90's sounded mc (which most of ya'll piss everynight in tha bed prayin 4) then it still wouldnt top tha sales of fuckin Hurricane Chris. i aint tellin u who u should like (except 4 wen i drop and my beats/artists) cuz i could give a muthafuck, but if u so-called wana save "hiphop" then make ur own beats/songs and buy who u like, stop hatin on tha next nigga and gitcha own, fuck boys cry and run off at da mouth everysingle time and kings make somethin happin

I don't even think that was directed toward anybody in here...but just at whoever you've heard say things about the south...correct?
This shit is mostly for the youngins who came up at a time when shit was really changin. But I think it's wack when you have artists that have been in the game for decades straight bitin this sound to try and get a hit these days. I think it's sad, and it usually doesn't work anyway.And SGV, SCC was WAY more talented than Yung Joc or D4L. You mentioned that Quad City DJ's song or Freaknasty being equivalent to these cats? The parallel would be that they could be categorized as dance music ("Come on Ride the Train" and "Da Dip") shit throw in "Humpty Dance" as well. But to me, that's where the parallel stops. Half these cats don't even know what a goddamn flow is, any word that is more than 5 letters long is too big for their vocabulary. Their verses are nothing but filler time between their ringtone chorus. Don't get me twisted like I can't get down to this shit in the clubs, that's the time and place for it. Nobody's tryin to get all introspective and shit - people wanna dance, they want that catchy shit that they can pick up on the first time through, etc. I think where people get really fed up is when it seems like its only this type of music that is really being featured on radio / video outlets. It got so bad that I switched to Satellite and the internet. But in my opinion, that's why people get so heated about it cuz it's like it's the only option being forced on them.R-Tistic - Being a DJ and all, of course you gotta cater to your crowd. You gotta keep their ass on the floor, so I say play what they want, but sprinkle in some other shit just to expose them to a little somethin else every once in a while.
I opened this thread thinkin it was gonna be Mo Thugs Soulja Boy
I'm not even gonna lie....I fucks with this song at the club fa sho.
