During a performance at the Converse Rubber Tracks show in New York City, Atlanta rapper Trinidad James didnā€™t hesitate in sharing his opinion on the cityā€™s place in todayā€™s Hip Hop. The ā€œAll Gold Everythingā€ creator even went on to state that the South runs New York City musically and rappers in the area might as well claim the city of Atlanta as their hometown.

ā€œI remember when New York ran this shit, dog,ā€ said Trinidad. ā€œWhen Dipset was fuckin turned the fuck up. Oh my God. I gotta wear my bandana on tilt like Juelz. What the fuck happened, dog? What happened? I remember when New York rap was the shit. And us in the South, us bammas, we was like ā€˜what the fuckā€™ and we just did our own thing. But now we run yā€™all musically. Thatā€™s crazy. Thatā€™s crazy. Thatā€™s crazy, my nigga. Thatā€™s crazy. Iā€™m not trying to start nothing, but if you want to do something we can do something cause I donā€™t give a fuck. I looked up to New York music. And now every nigga thatā€™s really poppinā€™ out of New York, you might as well tell they from Atlanta. ā€˜He from Atlanta. He from Atlanta. He from Atlanta.ā€™ Iā€™m just putting it out there. Yā€™all got more bloggersā€”yā€™all got niggas interviewing more popular than niggas thatā€™s rapping.ā€

During his conversation with the audience, who responded with occasional words of approval and disapproval, Trinidad referenced Kendrick Lamarā€™s ā€œking of New Yorkā€ mention on ā€œControlā€ and questioned why the Compton rapper is just now getting props for his music.

The Def Jam signee also touched on his upcoming studio album and revealed that the album is better than most projects out.

ā€œI feel like my album is better than all this bullshit that these niggas is feeding you,ā€ said Trinidad. ā€œItā€™s bullshit, man. Itā€™s bullshit. If it was some real shit Iā€™d tell you itā€™s some real shit. But itā€™s some bull-fuckin-shit. Straight up, manā€¦You canā€™t tell me, anybody out here thatā€™s a real fuckin Hip Hop fan, can tell me that Kendrick Lamar supposed to be platinum just this year. He been that fuckin good. He been that good. He been that fuckin good, dog. He been that good. But now, the nigga that we been knew now heā€™s coming and saying shit like he the king of New York. What is that?ā€

With last yearā€™s release of the Motion Family-directed ā€œAll Gold Everythingā€ music video, Trinidad James quickly garnered viral fame thanks to millions of views on YouTube and even enlisted the help of fellow Atlanta rappers 2 Chainz, T.I., and Young Jeezy for a remix to the Donā€™t Be S.A.F.E. record.
