I disagree. I'm only 26 and don't think of hip hop when ATL comes up. Trap yes but not hip hop as a whole.

But you’re on this website so you’re a city nerd

Atlanta is destroying NYC on the same pill on the hip hop subReddit

You ask older city nerds, NYC will always win. You ask younger hip hop nerds, Atlanta will always win.

Atlanta is the winner.

I agree with you.
NY may have had the bigger history with Hip Hop, but I think Atlanta has the bigger association right now.

Atlanta is Hip Hop.
New York is still Hip hop too but it is also a lot of things.

Can't just base it on who has the bigger claim to the sound, or who produced the most legends.

An association is in the moment and is Atlanta's moment

Most people nowadays don't even use the term "hip hop" they say rap or trap. Hip hop was a culture that started in NYC and will always be associated with NYC. Now rap? ATL has that one.

Lol. Nice try

I get what you’re saying but that’s now how the general public sees it. Atlanta is seen as the king of hip hop/trap/rap/however you want to call it

Trap is a subgenre. That's what ATL is known for. Not hip hop as a whole.

Wrong. Weather people are right or wrong, Atlanta is known for hip hop. Most people don’t separate the genres.

Now if they are right to categorize Atlanta trap with overall hip hop, that’s an argument in itself. But it’s known for hip hop for sure.

Groups from Atlanta’s 90s era hip hop scene gave the city its sound. Namely groups from the Dungeon Family and So So Def Recordings.

Atlanta’s SOS Band, not hip hop, but they had serious influence on West Coast G-Funk rap.

Most of the younger generations pretty much only know Atlanta for Trap Music (sadly). Us grown folks know better.

Kaszila is 26 I'm 27. Neither of us would say ATL is the winner simply because I actually care about history, influence, scale... Too many people in our generation have no sense of anything beyond themselves. Most people who really value hip hop as a culture and as a genre dont consider the music coming out of ATL to be hip hop (especially not older folks. Some people say its a whole different genre, I disagree with that but ATL's music right now just isn't very good. And it hasn't been for a long time. Most hip hop I listen to isn't from ATL. ATL is basically what the mainstream corporate media allow to be hip hop. At the moment I listen to Black Thought, Dave East, Dom Kennedy, some Boston artists, Moneybagg, Buddy...just very few people in ATL. The corporate machine down there churns out too much trash because anyone can be "on"

I said its a tie.
