Some of your comments have caught my eye, not because you don't like the south musicc that much, but the reasons you say why you don't.
Your reasons are, to me, a lil out of touch with the actual facts,
so I'ma spit some info on the matter.
i don't like the south that much, people just don't like that shit cuz it's stupid now...before it use to be hella tight with tight beats and shit, now they talk bout all that ice cars how many earings n shyt they got and the beats sounds gay as fuck
IMO, from the many different southern albums I buy, the beats are tighter now, than ever before.
-YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC ON WHAT SOUTHERN ALBUMs YOU CONSIDER TO HAVE TIGHT BEATS.
-YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC ON WHAT SOUTHERN ALBUMs YOU CONSIDER TO HAVE GAY BEATS.
EAST COAST, WEST COAST AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN HAVE TIGHT ALBUMS TO OFFER AND WEAK ALBUMS TO OFFER.
NOT ALL THE WEAK SHIT IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH-
WEAK ALBUMS ARE A GLOBAL ISSUE.
EAST COAST, WEST COAST AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN rapp about ice and cars.
I DON'T THINK no region is exempt from that subject area.
it's not what it use to be like master p nolimit old shyt, 36mafia's old shit and a lot more. to much commercial shit...even the underground south shit is wack cept for devin, slimm thug, charmellion and a lil more. only rappers i like is some ATL shyt, devin, t rock and lil underground shit...
cuzz, Master P is Not the old south, Master P is the one that made it bigg-tru ; but Wreckshop, Swisha house, Rap-alot and others were puttin out southern hitts before and during Master pP days...
Too much commercial shit?? Folks, what coast is exempt from too much commercial shit....THERE isn't none.
THATS THE GAME, THATS THE MUSICC BIZ.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC ON WHAT underground shit is wacc??
alot of your "reasons" were generalized statements...
meaning you put an entire region into one "ICE, BLING-BLING category.
The south is as diverse in musicc as the next coast..
examples include:
SCARFACE-who has g-street lyrics and beats
LUDA-who has wild, loud musicc, club shit
FLIP-who "sometimes" rapps about how he made it big, what he did to make it and what he has to show for it, with a touch of DJ screw flav
the rest is bunk and stupid.
DON'T get me wrong, I'm not sayin the south doesn't have weak musicc...
EVERY COAST HAS WEAK MUSICC....
but what you consider to be weak, an entire city may consider the same artist to be str8 FIRE.
YOU KNOW THE SAYIN-
DIFFERENT STROKES, DIFFERENT FOLKS
HOLLA
