South will continue to run shit because....

[Jaydc]

Ill have to invesigate further on some of them.J,cole like i said looks great.I checked out a couple of mixtapes by rain and he was pretty generic.B.O.B. excites me but still the west has more artists Im looking forward to.

[MistaNova]

That Pill "glass" record is insane to me.

4075: The Refill really exceeded my expectations, got me looking foward to The Medicine.

Seems like every coast has an up-and-comer at the moment. I hope they all get to drop their albums.

[midwestryder]

Hell jay z and biggie were of the ugliest motherfuckers to ever grace a mic and sold millions.

I ain't talking looks though. Just their overall sound of music in terms of marketability. I ain't saying Problem from the west is attractive lol. His music is very catchy and I can see it catching on.

please ,nipsey's music is more catchy then problems music .. nipsey has better chance then problem of catching on today.

I thought I was the only one on here who was up on Pill... dude is sick

TRAP GOIN' HAM! 

[Lunatic]

Pill is fucking dope and "4075: The Refill" mixtape is absolutely insane. Check out Donnis as well y'all.

[Blood$]

yeah that tape goes hard... dude has a hell of a flow

Nipsey, Jack Rock, Bishop, Glasses, Ya Boy >>>>

we say fuck sales in every other thread & how we hate mainstream artists.

you can call it "running the mainstream game", but that's a game that you shouldn't be proud to play in.

sales never mattered to me, even back when they were relevant.

so people didn't buy "so & so's" album; i bumped it, i thought it was dope.

not to take anything away from J. Cole or those artists, they are all dope; but if they are "marketable" & headed mainstream, we are hearing the best music they are ever going to make, right now.

Ya Boy is typical. Glasses is cool but he ain't nothing mind blowing. I definitely support him though. All these cats I posted as mentioned just happen to be DOPE but are getting the proper attention.

[RingMan]

dont know why, but I tought Cole is from northeast and you consider Carolina as south?

[OchoCinco]

Right now i think we are in no where land in hiphop. I mean no coast is runnin shit anymore. Its all over the place.

[Action!]

I'm pretty sure I like rappers from the south than the west:

Rain
Stat Quo
J. Cole
B.O.B
Bobby Creekwater

The west:
Bishop Lamont
Clyde Carson
Slim Da Mobsta (maybe)

for the sake of hip-hop territory, it seems that Carolina has always been considered as "south"

[Chamillitary Click]

that's because Cole raps like he's from the Northeast.

same shit from Rain.

honestly, you cannot tell based off their music that they are South.

[kuruptDPG]

its also because the south support their music and rappers make radio and club songs so most likely they get played like that

Remember though the south didn't adapt to radio culture, it was the radio who started to do more material from the south, largely because of independent hustle. There's tons of west coast material that would be great on the radio, but there simply isn't enough ambition on our part to make it happen on large scale again.
