Any opinions Atlanta mainstream hip hop (trap)? What are the demographics that listen to it? (camp, living in)

He is not really that far off. Here is evidence of the music industry execs pulling the strings, along with Hollywood and other media:

As for the music portion, look at NWA and how their relationship soured with their manager. In addition, MJ, Prince, and Ke$ha all tried to break away from the bondage of their music contracts. Some of it got ugly for all 3 of them. For an industry so diverse and heavily dependent on black people for success, none of them are at the top exec positions.....NOT even Puff Daddy aka P.Diddy. I wonder if he really works for any of them, or whether he is just a figure head begging Ciroc for more commercials.

It doesn't matter.

To refer to them as "Jew record execs" is racist, even if it was accurate (which it clearly isn't, plenty of non-Jewish last names on that list).

Terrible behavior.

But I guess racism only matters on this board if it's aimed at African Americans.

We have some good rappers that come from around here too though. Childish Gambino and Cyhi The Prince are from Stone Mountain.

Ads By Future

Agreed. It's a serious error to foster that kind of talk and those kinds of attitudes.

Not good at all.

This happens everywhere but definitely noticeable in Atlanta. Remember when it was T.I. , Outkast, Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, Lil Scrappy, Lil Jon, Crime Mob.....? That's when I actually liked ATL rap music. It was down and dirty, tough-talking DIRTY SOUTH music. I hate what comes out now because its SOFT.

When guys like Young Thug came out, it took a huge blow to Atlanta's rap image, because it exposed the "gayness" and lame-ness of the rap culture here, as well as how we just have no real standards here..we pretty much accept anything. His crew including Birdman, Rich Homie Quan...are sometimes referred to as the "booty goons". Now outsiders joke around that you may get attacked by Atlanta thugs not by their guns, but by their d**ks.



Waka Flocka, yea he's lyrically wack, but I think he's still one of the very few that still creates songs that make you want to beat someone up to lol.

You right atlanta did take a blow for its image

I am not that old but I agree with this. Everyone pretty much does trap now and you don't see stuff like Chop n Screwed and Bounce like you used to.

It's not any
more racist then saying "black record execs" or "black rappers". If they are black they are black

Of course it is. Only bash the Christians and Islamic people but leave the people of Judah uncriticized. You guys really dont see what is going on here.
