Good point Spade, I'm 31 and I'm from the ATL but this new stuff is so awful. I never thought that I'd be that "I only listen to 90s hip-hop but then again, I never thought that the bar would fall this low. XXL had a " Special Ed" cypher with Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, and other off brand artists. They were off beat and repeated the same words over. Terrible, at least have a good flow. They aren't even trying.
problem is I see withso many of these NYC boosters is that most of what is said is baded on the past.
Ill even say its relevant because its the foundation.
However you cant ignore the FLOOD of music artist that arehip hop from at least the 90's till thw watershed of music coming out of Atlanta now.
Rock and Roll culture is no longer that.Its changed and no is either just Rock or Pop.Pop which has overshadowed Rock.
Hip hop is not just the Sugarhill Gang anymore than its T.I. ,Migos, 69Boyz,Ludicrous or whatever.
You can always like the old school but genres change and like it or not the new stuff IS Hip Hop or you might as well agree with some that say Hip Hop is DEAD.
Am I wrong in thinking just because you have several big time rappers is better than having so much of all levels that are ar constant through decades like Atlanta has regardless of skill?
And are we excluding artist that are singers like Usher but think Mary J,Blige (the Hip Hop Queen)is okay?
Much of the music of the 90's and even today was collaborations with vocal artist that most nowadays call apart of Hip Hop or Hip Hop Soul in which no one can deny Atlanta has been tops in producing.
Rock and Roll culture is no longer that.Its changed and no is either just Rock or Pop.Pop which has overshadowed Rock.
And look what happened to Rock, it was stripped of its roots and now a shell of its former self. If you want this for Hip-hop, then that says a lot about your perspective.

If we included singers, then Atlanta will RUN away with this debate even faster than the lightening quick speed it's running away in Hip-hop.

Actually my perspective is reality which you cant seem to accept.
Rock was not stripped of its roots.The pioneers willl always be revered by those who can accept that its a part of history without which the present could not be possible.
No one would know what Rock is because its not dead.Nor is Hip Hop
