I don’t think many understand the evolution hip hop has transitioned to in the past few decades. Hip Hop, rap, and even country music for that matter has evolved to the point where it has shifted more around being like pop instead of its original type of music. I think that has to do more with the pop type of music being more well received in international markets than just in the US. With that being said though, the south I think understands how the business works when it comes to making a lot of worldwide hits. Simplicity of a record usually means that it is more understood by the ones who listen to it. I would love at this point if Hip Hop and rap would separate the more simplistic music into another genre of music. I would also like to see how the international market has influenced Hip Hop over the past few years in another breakdown. It may help answer some of the questions that were raised in this breakdown.
Southern Hip Hop been falling and it’s taking the rest of Hip Hop with it. Snap dancin, lean drinkin, pill poppin, weird clothes wearin, young thug giving, why use words when you can mumble your way through the beat asz cornballs. Hip Hop not just a New York or West Coast thing , they just do it way better.
The South has a much bigger audience given their geographical footprint, so that’s one point. Second, southern artists who are true to the core elements of hip hop and remain so will never fall off (same goes for the other regions). Even if they aren’t selling millions of records, you can’t put a price on authenticity. The problem with this new generation is how content they are to bite off of each other and play follow the leader. Not to mention a general lack of education on Hip Hop’s origins and who came before them(Yachty). You had Rich Homie Quan, who during the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Award show, fucked up Biggie’s verse to “Get Money” and everyone was cool with it. Point is, it will never go away because the shit is too easy to do and these young cats operate in a consequence free environment. Why should it change if they still get radio play, still get “awards”, and continue to get passes? It won’t go anywhere because most listeners these days are other too dumb or too busy fucking around on social media to give a shit.
UGK4LIFE outlast geto boys 8 ball & mjg blac monks goodie mob screwed up click, no limit soldiers suave house scarface Mr 32 2 live crew trick daddy Big Krit……got timeless immortal classics with substance, content, a message, & crunk for your trunk….everyone else copy cat biters & these new clowns think they original when they heard it in the womb, plenty of trill records to bump in your slab & keep in repeat never have to listen to illiterate drops outs who mumble Dr Seuss verses… Trill don’t die
Early ’90s Rap-A-Lot releases from Raheem,Prince Johnny C, Willie D.,DJ Akshen, O.G. Style, the Convicts LORD 3-2 & B!G M!ke, (S.P.C)-The terrorist,Ganksta N-I-P, B!G Mello(Rip), T!m Smooth (Rip) out of New Orleans.And that was the K!NG Lil J “Were frm tha MTFK SOUTH”,Now What was th!s Bullsh!t bout that We had to Be frm Cali or New York Anybody can Make that got Heart!!!
The SOUTH been running HipHop for the last 20 Years . An you Ducks Mad . NY Rappers BROKE and you mad . South Hitters rock BIG ice Live in big CRIBS . While your NY so called lyrical rappers BROKE . GO Check out Gucci Mane IG and he just came home EATING . You CLOWNS MAD . The SOUTH is the Largest Region in America and we know it . Our Clubs Colleges and Streets support our OWN . And we will never Buy your FREESTYLES OR BS BEATS Before we Support OUR OWN . WHAT DOWN SOUTH AND LA HITTERS CALL A CLOSET NY LAMES CALL HOME . #TRUTHTELLER
The days when you aka ny could drop a bs freestyle and go up to the labels and get a record deal by telling them its real hiphop are gone . The internet killed those days . Labels want to see a movement and ny rappers don’t have those . And the streets or the south don’t buy freestyles .
The end of wackiness is near. The southern sound has dominated for 10 years. No more and no less. But I think with a tribe called quest, de la soul, the lox releasing gems and Joey badass, action bronson, nas, fabulous and Jada, fat joe and Remy, a ghostface executive produced Wu tang album, redman muddy waters 2, etc etc etc all coming out soon I think their is definitely a change in the wind. With Jay electronica and pusha t hopefully releasing this year aswell it could be a big year for that traditional east coast hip hop sound dominating once again.
Blaze420 aka dx staff let me let you in on a little secret . Everyone has figured out NY is the Biggest frauds a bunch of Jamaican and Haitian brothers disrespecting their Heritage with ITALIAN ACCENTS . #NoOnesBuying #FRAUDS
Who sold more records than No Limit from 97 to 2000 noone . Who sold more records than Cash Money from 2000 till now . Nobody the south has dominated for 20 YEARS . BE CLEAR
The South is a self sustained market thats why the labels abandoned NY…The East Coast dont support their own on a local level whereas sourthern rappers were making bread doing Chitlin Circuit tours with no radio play…labels saw that and jump ship it dont got shit to do with the quality if the music…its strictly business
It’s a shame that when the South actually put out good Hip-Hop; Outkast, Geto Boys, Goodie Mob, 8ball & MJG, UGK.. that a lot of it didn’t get the recognition it deserved.. But now this down south trash of the last 15 years does….. Sad.
The internet has essentially removed regional borders from music. But to answer the question, not anytime soon because most southern hip-hop artists cater to the lowest common denominator and the lowest hanging fruit in the hip-hop market… no offense to anyone.
The industry heads cater to the youth and mislead them wit what they want them to listen to and watch, rich pale skin devils have been running this industry since the beginning of time they control radio and television so until black people and people of color organize and get the youth to boycott this garbage on radio and tv we will have one lane of hip hop R&B music, we need to own radio stations record printing press and this can be done but who on our team are ready to start this take over and revolt you can blame the artist he is just a puppet control by the devil like every artist who rise up in this wicked game, the devil can be dethrone by GOD’s people it will take advice from the elder statesmen and artist to get this ball rolling the only thing the devil understand is money remove that and his power is gone don’t spend another dime wit him on this garbage he is force feeding you!
I don’t get the graph. Korea is considered a region but its mostly PSY who gave those hits, Australia is a region but its mostly Iggy Azalea, Canada is also region but instead his category is just called Drake? weird
How is Korea the same % as Australia when Iggy spent more time at #1 and just overall on the Billboard Rap Songs charts than PSY tho?
Based on # of times a song or songs hit #1. So the same song can dip to 2 or 3 then back to #1.
