^ Riding dirty really, rap about cars. Seriously the south changed hip hop Wheres lil wayne, Drake, etc. why did you leave them out? Your case is not rested Hip hop was about real life stuff back then now when the south came in the 2000's- til present hip hop changed from what used to be great rap/ hiphop to now crap. Now it's all about the money, sex, cars, and stupid dance moves. To say I'm not telling the truth just go back to the 1990's and see the style and the lyrics. The Radio today out plays every song. Hip hop is terrible now. Lil wayne has nothing on Immortal Technique, the radio wont play immortal technique.Major Record labels want to sign Immortal but he didn't want to b/c he doesn't want to rap about what the record label tells him to rap about. Point is hip hop is terrible now lets make a switch to the Underground the good stuff.

If you never heard Ridin Dirty then you need not to speak on it. The first couple of songs do not even talk about cars. One Day is not about a car. Drake is actually from Toronto. His point was that the South has been around even before 2000. Where do you think Outkast, Scarface, and the DOC are from? I do agree with you in that Wayne has nothing on IT but Wayne is not even the best rapper in his own city let alone the entire South.

I talking about Mainstream every region has good rappers but today it's hard to find them b/c the radio doesn't play them. I like outkast, scarface etc. but that was back in the day, I'm talking about right now hip hop is terrible and mainly the artist are from the south. Lets not forget about Auto-Tune the most overused drug used in hip hop today!

But let's not forget that the East Coast does the same thing. Right now, most are from the South and that is a shame. But the other regions do the same thing.

I agree, But I rappers have about girls Etc. to get played on the radio now. I bet thats the only reason there would change there rap b/c there record label tells them what to rap about. But come on this Auto-Tune crap changing your voice is to much. I would prefer not to listen to the radio, there outplay the songs to much and every song they play is gonna be about money, sex, cars, hoes, etc.

little wayne is trash
rappers have BEEN talking about money, sex and cars since the 80's, cut it out. all those 80s rappers wearin ridiculous gold rings n chains. west coast rap in the 90s was all about broads, money and violence.
immortal technique sucks, his flow is choppy and has horrible breath control. the radio doesnt play him because nobody wants to hear some angry peruvian whining about government conspiracies. he's doin alright underground n doesnt need to go mainstream.
