When they were 10 years old 10 years ago when I graduated highschool, MASTER P and CASH MONEY were on FIRE and THAT is the southern rap THEY grew up on and emulate ie “Ay Bay Bay and Soulja Boy tellin’ our 10 year olds to “supersoak dat hoe” lol. I mean we grew up with profanity, but by the time I hit highschool and after TuPac and Biggie died, rap just turned into another “get rich quick scheme” instead of music. The southern rap I grew up on and still listen to
is;
UGK, Outkast, 5th Ward Boys and Scarface and maybe like 1 or 2 others. 2 live Crew was there to make you shake ya ass but no body took theme SERIOUSLY like a SERIOUS RAP GROUP or anything like they do now?

The groups I listed were great reps for the south. They let the rest of the country know what was going on down there and wana visit.

But now……..Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullllllll

At least consious rap is comming back to the mainstream. Somebody HEEELLLLPPP lol!!!! I don’t want to sit here and watch this artform disappear right in front of my eyes just as fast as it got here?!!!!

Just like the south has it’s legends, New York has our legends. If you talkin about groups you got Wu Tang, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Salt N Peppa, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Unlike the southern region of hip hop, the New York legends were not really tryin to bring the spotlight on the east. They were just makin good music. I aint even gonna go into history but we all know that DMC is the greatest of all time, Flash innovated hip hop, PE made black people look good, Salt N Peppa opened the doors for the female MC, and WU Tang has the most pure, raw rapping talent there is. Not to mention other east coast groups like the Fugees, EPMD, Eric B and Rakim and Gangstarr. We all have our history. We need to stop trying to out do one another and just have fun with the shit. It aint that big of a deal.

WTF!!! I love to shake my ass to downsouth bass as much as the next chick but this is just getting oversaturatedly REDICULOUSS!!!

BUT, with oversaturation comes CHANGE and that is what I am praying for VERY SOON!!!!

It’s true. I’m half Jamaican myself. African American or Jamaican. We still black people. Our music compliements each other. The black american music had a major impact on the jamaican reggae and the jamaican reggae had a major impact on the black american hip hop. Look at people like Busta Rhymes and Biggie. They are both Jamaican.
