Trinidad James posted a series of Twitter updates today (November 13) regarding his thoughts on New York Hip Hop following commentary that the Southern region runs New York musically.
Trinidad’s Twitter updates note that he “didn’t disrespect.” The rapper also said that New York does not support New York Hip Hop and named several artists in New York that he said were less famous than Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson.
Trinidad spoke about New York Hip Hop during a recent concert, as reported today (November 13).
“I remember when New York ran this shit, dog,” Trinidad said. “When 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 ‘what the fuck’ and we just did our own thing. But now we run y’all musically. That’s crazy. That’s crazy. That’s crazy, my nigga. That’s crazy. I’m not trying to start nothing, but if you want to do something we can do something cause I don’t give a fuck. I looked up to New York music. And now every nigga that’s really poppin’ out of New York, you might as well tell they from Atlanta. ‘He from Atlanta. He from Atlanta. He from Atlanta.’ I’m just putting it out there. Y’all got more bloggers—y’all got niggas interviewing more popular than niggas that’s rapping.”
he backtracking now. digging that hole deeper. i bet he got his people frantically trying to reach out to Maino to apologize
He’s clarifying what people didn’t seem to comprehend, which is what you’re doing now.
New York Rap been wack ..Flatbush Zombies is Trash… Joey Bad A$$ he dope and Troy Ave is fire and A$AP Mob is dope but alot of them cats on the come up is weak on records period.
troy ave really fire? i might have to check out that album only heard a few mixtape songs
Troy Ave is sort of a mix between Weak Mill and any other average southern trap rapper right now (Migos, Gucci, Frenchie, etc).
Atlanta ain’t supporting Atlanta either. Him, Future and 2Chainz are selling like they indy, Killer Mike, Pill, donnis, Alley boy are dope but they ain’t getting TI, Outkast, Luda or even Gucci mane type support.
Action Bronson?!?!? LOL WOW Thats not Hip Hop OR NY Hip Hop tahts trash!
Im sorry your mother dropped you when you were born, the mental consequences must have been severe
go listen to one of his tapes and tell me he aint repping ny to the fullest
honestly for the music trinidad james makes, he’s real as fuck.
El-p Reppin NY, NY supports NY music, the rest of the country dont support NY music, BEASTCOAST makin a comeback on their own and wen they do Trinidad James gna b old washed up news after 2 albums###Fuckadentist
wrong headliner cuz he didn’t backtrack.. at all.. if anything, he doubled down… don’t get it twisted.. aint nobody scared of N.Y.. you love & hip hop watchers from n.y.
Dude is right think about it. Papoose was a guest on Hot97 on a debate about the state of hip hop. He told them when he goes to Miami that’s what they play Miami, Atlanta same shit [I AINT SAY THAT HE DID]. New York radio dont play NY. Then they deny it to his face. Turn on Hot 97 or Power 105 its the same 5 songs from Atl, MMG, Jay or Kanye
Of course he’s going to get away with it on stage GO TO GOOGLE THIS SHIT IS IN WILLIAMSBURG BROOKLYN THATS THE JEW CAPITAL
Try that shit in Brownsville or East NY
hipster capital more like it
idk why hes backtracking hes right.. NY used to be hard, ny used to be feared.. and have legends. thats all ny has is legends.. everyone from NY raps like they from the south and i know cause i live in the city.
now you can go onstage in NY disrespect everyone and noone will do a thing.
then again why the fuck are ppl at a trinidad james concert anyways? who paid for that shit?
How is ATL, or the south, winning when all these niggas barely move 100k units? half of em are signed to 360 slave deals so they not even making any real money from touring or concerts! The south is a generation full of chitlin circuit rappers! James oughta be glad, cause it can easily go back to the south being the laughing stock of the music industry nobody gave a fuck about! south rappers are dumb as fuck! they went from bitching & crying to be heard, blaming ny for everything, now guys like him are ‘keeping it real’ by stating the obvious, but not going into detail using FACTS about why music is the way it is! the entire culture of hip hop is LOSING, its not just NY! The south is LOSING! niggas is walking billboards for these blood sucking labels! all the name dropping and techno music or gay agenda bullshit…when see no problem with being used, you dont get to stand up and pat yourself on the back foh…aint nothing real about what he saying…
dats true. future got his finances exposed in his child custody case and the biggest nicca in ATL was makin like 240k a year LMAO
^foh,
co-sign. If people in the industry REALLY talked about the facts behind why music is the way it is right now, they’d lose their deal, sponsors, status, etc.
but he’s talking about NY radio
I don’t know you.
the south killed hip hop
NY the internet is our new radio staion fuckem all
NY artists don’t even need the radio so who cares. Joey Badass is going to clear at least $350,000 ending out 2013 with no radio and he’s already expected to clear at least another $1M next year in tour money alone. Artists don’t need the radio, period. Of course it helps, no one can deny that, but the old model is gone. So go ahead and fight for the radio. While all these cats are trying to battle it out you’re going to find guys like Joey selling out shows nationwide not giving a fuck and laughing all the way to the bank.
Any one who listen to dirty south, atl and some fools trying to sing is just like them because they are the must lowest in IQ.. Their music and how they act tells is all, you act like lame songs among lame majority could make you say emotional things.. Well I will blame black lames and not you.
Girls will kiss any thing that’s why this dumb thinks he can say anything… Strippers and wholes are the was thing to give to a nigga
you payin? why? thots out here doing it after drinking shit they bring and smashing in the stall on some one night stand shit. and all you got to do is say come on to here and she’ll drop her pants for you and let you fuck.save your money my nigga. 11/14/13 that slut
