You are right about the best music in the 90's Atlanta.Arrested Developement and Kriss Kross?WHAT!!The best.Same is true with New York.Can't forget that V_I_B_E_!!!SHE'S GOT THAT VIBE!!I'm talkin bout that New Jack Swing!!Man I miss that music.!!
Actually no one has put out any "classic in 2000 in my opinion ANYWHERE.The current state of music(commercially)sucks.I stick mostly too neo soul.It never lets me down.
I find myself going back through eighties music. If new things aint popping off right, go back to the old stuff-the garunteed good stuff, till the new artist get their act together
-Speakerbox/The Love Below?
-Trap Muzik?
-Kings of Crunk?
-Jeezy's first album
In THIS ERA, I would say those four. And this is taking everything into account(Lyrics, Content, Production, Record Sales, Videoplay).
Speakerbox/love below-?
Kings of Crunk-?
Jeezys thug motivation 101-yes
trap music-maybe
None of them are as great as new yorks nineties classics not even close. None of those has as big an impact as get rich or die tryin or the blueprint for that matter
Get rich or die trying
The blueprint
Stillmatic
Diplomatic immunity
It's Outkast. They experimented some on their album(mainly Andre), but it was successful. You seriously couldn't go anywhere without hearing Hey Ya.

Get Low? Same thing with what I said about Hey Ya. Lil Jon may not be a lyricist, but he has great production, and always has an all-star list of guests. This is the album that's largely responsible for ATL's crunk movement into the mainstream.
Atls rise to prominence comes from la and nyc being in a slump creatively at this point not because yall actually hot. Aint nobody from their selling just like everywhere else. Atls reign at hip has got to be the absolute worst in the genre. OJ DA juice man, gucci mane? How can jay-z not be relevant when his album is all but garunteed to go platinum and be number one
Whatever you wanna call it....it is what it is.HOW and not WHY are not as important as to WHAT is.I never said he was not relevant.I said he was not as relevant TODAY! I admit if he puts out another albaum it will go to number one.But he alone cannot do it.I agree I do not like many southern rap artist>I'm more R&B anyway,but what people want is what they want.It does not have to be good.George Bush was elected President for TWO terms...............
The South has produced absolute garbage. Soulja Boy Tell Em? Are you effin serious!?
I don't care either way, but I don't understand why everyone hates him and others like him so much. D4L came out with "Laffy Taffy", Dem Franchise Boyz came out with "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" and everyone was exclaiming they're killing hip hop. What's the big deal? They music to dance or have fun to or whatever. It's nothing to take seriously. I see it as a good thing, because it expands hip hop's image. Everything doesn't have to be lyrically complex and what not. And I don't know why everyone wants to say "the South did this" and "the South did that", as if "Chicken Noodle Soup" or "This Is Why I'm Hot" never existed.

Oh and how could I forget Back for the First Time & Word of Mouf? Chicken & Beer was good too, but I think those first two were Ludacris' best.
