LMAO @ Anyone dissing the South (or anyone for that matter) because the Whites buy their albums. Snoop, Dre etc. would have never been this far if whites didn't buy their album. Hell! You guys wouldn't be here if a White guy didn't start this board. Come with a new way to discredit someone... Thanks.

let me say 1st off, most of my fav. rappers are from the west. but T.I. is my fav. rapper, and i love the entire grand hustle movement. but you really gotta check your #s dog.
T.I. is indeed platinum
jeezy is yet to hit platinum, although he prolly will
birdman & lil wayne are FAR from platinum. there still stuck at like 570,000 sold, so plat. is outta the question
luda is also at platinum...not before he had to release like 3 videos, and he barely hit plat.
young dro didn't hit gold.

All im sayin is that alot of them buy whatever they see on t.v. and most of them south rappers are shit and dont belong on tv, there only there because people buy there records not because theyve been fans of them but because they want to keep up with what mtv is playing. Snoop dogg and Dre defenently would have been this far because they acually concentrate on the music there putting out. Whos gonna be bumping TI or anyone else on top right now from the south 10 years from now.

lol.. its funny how he doesn't allow us to use our west coast artists in the comparisons.. but lets do so anyways..
The Game - certified platinum and STILL selling
Snoop Dogg- On platinum watch and STILL selling
Ice Cube (forgot about him eh) - On platinum watch and he's indy too
E-40 - gold
Black Ty- sold 270,00 and still selling.. its a double album so do we double count the numbers?
-
This is like the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen this. If you don't like the West Coast, why sign up on this forum? You don't see me on a muthafuckin KKK forum. There's a reason for that.
-
So because they have better selling artists that means they're better? Fuck outta here

come on man, that's some lies 2. nor the game or snoop are platinum. it is likely both of them will hit plaatinum, but not double, at least not in the u.s. alone. ice cube ain't on no plat. watch either. the dude was barely certified gold, and his cd has gone off the charts. your right on e-40. not sure on tyrese, but that sounds about right. he won't pass 350,000 though.
game - gold and STILL selling
snoop - gold and STILL selling
e-40 - gold
ice cube - gold
^^that's how we REALISTICALLY did in '06. also pac did some decent #s.

Yeah E40 had to go to Lil Jon to get his shit to go gold but whats your point, the WHOLE SOUTH or at least 90% of the SOUTH had to steal TUPACs shit to get what numbers they gettin now... South bitin the Pac stuff and than putting a south gay twist to it to make it sell, they takin west coast stuff to sell.

Fucc south man !! T.I is a Big Biatch !! He isn't dope man ! Young Jeezy is a Biatch too !!
Don't care of number man just put the cd in computer and play it !! Man listen the new Game, new Snoop, new Ice Cube, last Dj Quik (trauma) or the las Warren G and after that tell me if T.I is the shit!

funny you say that. game, snoop, cube, warren g are 4 of my fav. rappers. T.I. is STILL the shit. he is so dope. he gets categorized with to many shitty southern rappers, simply because his shit is popular. he can rap circles around young jeezy. and to anyone who thinks he won't be here in 5-10 years, you're wrong. this dude has love coming from everywere. lets face it, the mainsteam game clearly loves him, and although he's somewhat changed, the streets won't abandon him, because he's got a street classic in trap muzik, and he's proven he's a real dude time & time agian.

LOL@Warren G and Quiks last albums as representation of the West. If that reps the West, were not doing good.

Fuck the West (According the thought process of "Slick D")

lol at the people that say fuck the south and got Daz,Tray Dee,Goldie Loc,MC Eiht etc in their sigs :laugh: Mike Jones could outrap them for fucks sake. and like a couple of smart cats have said already, good music is good music.

lol thats cause i wanted it like that, i like the old dogs so what? gimme a Joe Blaq from the south, Tone, Belly, Ya Boy, oh, i forgot south aint got none like that, too bad :-\ see there is no discussion here. south is a fashion and thats it, where was it 15 years ago? maybe now it got its fame, but fame aint quality, and this is the best example. Ying Yang Twins, Paul Wall, Lil Jon, Chingy, i could go on and on but i dont want to, i dont think the west got so many embarrassin artists (assumin they be artists)
Fuck the south, point blank.

d-nice is right. some of them dudes from the south can spit with anyone. I'll keep my personal opinion on T.I. outta this 1. but rappers/groups like scarface, ugk, outkast, geto boys, etc. are some of the dopest ever.

Slick D, you idiot! 15 years ago was 1992. Here's a little history: Geto Boys already had 4 records out and a big hit with Minds Playing Tricks On Me. UGK had just put out their second record and had songs like Pregnant Pussy making noise. DJ Screw was building a buzz in Texas. 3 6 Mafia had already been putting out Underground records. 2 Live Crew had already been active for 6 years and already major hits. Arrested Development was out and making hits. Cash Money was already starting. 8 Ball and MJG were readying their debut album...
Shit I can go on. You don't know a thing about Southern Hip Hop bro. Theres Ya Boy here, in the South they have Magno. Game here, Chamillionaire in the South. Planet Asia, Phonte. I can go on and on. You really cannot speak on this, especially with me.

to slick d: skg just saying that there is dope southern hip hop and that its ignorant to just say 'fuck the south'
and to SGV: slick d is just saying fuck the south in response to the dude saying the south is better than the west, like 'fuck that' you know?
I think you're not even really disagreeing.

-
ok im gonna make my point clear cause this is gettin twisted.
1. i do know that there are fuckin dope southern rappers like scarface and ugk
2. 90% percent southern rappers today suck, just club bangers and shit, and this is 100% objective
3. 15 years ago southern rap was not as big as west or east coast rap

Well the South can continue to sell millions but I still prefer the West anyday of the week REAL TALK

Rap A Lot and 2 Live Crew were established. Luke was already beefing with Snoop and Dre, Deathrow had Bushwick on The Chronic... Cmon dude, you gotta be kidding me. 15 years ago, the South had their foot in the door, 2 years later they kicked it open (Outkast, Master P, Mystikal, Ball & G). So again, don't go there cuz you really don't know. If you want to pull the "not as big as card" then the West hasn't been as big as the South in over 11 years. So that means in the past 11 years the South has been shitting on the West. A decade... and the West has yet to be bigger than the South. Sad aint it?
-
i knew this thread would end up like this.
because we see all these weak niggaz on MTV from the south and all over the radio doesnt mean that the South is weak. theres Scareface, UGK, Slim Thug, Chamillionare, etc,..they all have great talent. However, because we get hit with all these nursery rhyme bubble gum shit, we get brain washed into thinking everybody from the South is garbage, which is not true.
im westcoast everyday all day. but i will not say "fuck the south" because of some weak faggots gettin airplay. the people who you should be saying "fuck you" to is Corporate America(not just whites), such as MTV and the radio.
i see everybody's points, if everybody just combined there oppinions, the mutual response would be this^

no way was the south there with the west 15 years ago or so. if the south was there with the west 15 years ago, then were here now with them. people have to remember something. a big single doesn't mean SHIT ALL, if you don't sell any records. D4L flopped, DFB didn't do to well, Jibbs did shit all.<<--all these rappers/grops had big hits, but they didn't do much (i say "much" because i think DFB did ok #s).
Young Dro is another example. And i'm NOT being biased (T.I. & grand hustle is my fav. movement). Dro had a big hit, but he didn't even go gold. T.I., Luda, Jeezy, Joc were the big players (#s wise) for the south in 06. the west had a few gold plaques in 06', and many of those will be platinum soon (snoop & game). So it's fair to say the west is there with the south now, if you even think of saying the south was with the west 15 years ago or so.
NOW: South>>>>>> West (NOT my personal opinion, i prefer the west, i'm talking sense of popularity)
15 YRS AGO West >>>>>> South
06'--T.I., Luda, Jeezy, Joc, Wayne & Birdman
06'--Cube, Snoop, E-40, Game
south is *WAY* ahead of the west?^^ ::)
-
I don't think anyone said the West and South were even 15 years ago, the South was just taking off. But 92 was the kick off for the West with the Chronic. It wasn't like the West slaughtered the South in 92.
And in all reality, sure the West might have some sales, but nobody is talking about them. They spoke on Hyphy for a little, but that went away. Outside of that, Game was the only one with real pub in 06. Snoop had his name out there thanks to his arrests.
But in the South, T.I., D4L, Wayne, Mike Jones, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Bun B, Young Jeezy, Pitbull, Rick Ross etc ALL had big years. So, in no way shape or form, is the West seeing the South.

i already mentioned D4L. Take your big single, and do shit all with it. Mike Jones' last album was in early 05, so until his 2nd lp does as well as his 1st, the jury is still out on him. cham's record was also out in 05, so same story (although most of his shine came in 06)^^. (but i'm sure his 2nd lp will do fine, that single is commercial as hell). Pitbull always flops. Bun B if i remember correctly also flopped (MAYBE he went gold). Ross did decent #s (along with wayne & birdman...but neither was certified plat.).
-
We can urgue about this until Detox comes out. Everyone has their favorite artists, coasts, eras, whatever. Music goes in trends. It is the South's turn right now. It will change to something else in a few years. I can remember when the west was on top, people was making fun of chucks and west coast slang and lowriders. The south they was making fun of the accent. Now if you don't have one you won't get signed on a major so I am happy to see artists from all over getting that paper. Get It while you can and it's hot.

I agree. my fav. rappers go from T.I. to Knoc-turn'al, from 8Ball & MJG to Xzibit. i got love for every1 gettin there rap paper man. can you blame sum1 like yung joc? all he doin is shit that he knows will make him paper. I'm just pointing out that alot of these southern rappers that get credit for the reason they're on top, actually had there records flop.

I don't think anyone said the West and South were even 15 years ago, the South was just taking off. But 92 was the kick off for the West with the Chronic. It wasn't like the West slaughtered the South in 92.
And in all reality, sure the West might have some sales, but nobody is talking about them. They spoke on Hyphy for a little, but that went away. Outside of that, Game was the only one with real pub in 06. Snoop had his name out there thanks to his arrests.
But in the South, T.I., D4L, Wayne, Mike Jones, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Bun B, Young Jeezy, Pitbull, Rick Ross etc ALL had big years. So, in no way shape or form, is the West seeing the South.
i already mentioned D4L. Take your big single, and do shit all with it. Mike Jones' last album was in early 05, so until his 2nd lp does as well as his 1st, the jury is still out on him. cham's record was also out in 05, so same story (although most of his shine came in 06)^^. (but i'm sure his 2nd lp will do fine, that single is commercial as hell). Pitbull always flops. Bun B if i remember correctly also flopped (MAYBE he went gold). Ross did decent #s (along with wayne & birdman...but neither was certified plat.).
Bun B went gold. Hell there are southern rappers that don't like D4L. The funny part was them getting offended on a interview because people were saying D4L ain't hip hop. They ain't.

Cham went Plat and that was thanks to Ridin which hit hard in 06. Bun went Gold, that's real good for him, especially not getting the hugest push in the world from Rap A Lot. Weezy went Plat. Ross gold. Paul Wall hit Plat thanks to Girl which hit in 06 as well. I mean, we can go on. The albums may have came out in 05 (late 05) but didn't hit until 06.

i knew this thread would end up like this.
because we see all these weak niggaz on MTV from the south and all over the radio doesnt mean that the South is weak. theres Scareface, UGK, Slim Thug, Chamillionare, etc,..they all have great talent. However, because we get hit with all these nursery rhyme bubble gum shit, we get brain washed into thinking everybody from the South is garbage, which is not true.
im westcoast everyday all day. but i will not say "fuck the south" because of some weak faggots gettin airplay. the people who you should be saying "fuck you" to is Corporate America(not just whites), such as MTV and the radio.
i see everybody's points, if everybody just combined there oppinions, the mutual response would be this^

truth

Rap A Lot and 2 Live Crew were established. Luke was already beefing with Snoop and Dre, Deathrow had Bushwick on The Chronic... Cmon dude, you gotta be kidding me. 15 years ago, the South had their foot in the door, 2 years later they kicked it open (Outkast, Master P, Mystikal, Ball & G). So again, don't go there cuz you really don't know. If you want to pull the "not as big as card" then the West hasn't been as big as the South in over 11 years. So that means in the past 11 years the South has been shitting on the West. A decade... and the West has yet to be bigger than the South. Sad aint it?
::)
dude just take the L and move the fuck on
sgv is ethering all y'all :laugh:
lil fag only one etherin all of us is lamont, cause he sees all the perspectives and learn from them, now you bitch ass muthafucka get the fuck outta here
