lol yeah...

I'd love to get opinions from guys who like to rap, about how I sound. I'm kind of embarrassed to show my videos though

The North has the great old school stuff like Biggie, Public Enemy and Wu Tang. The newer stuff (commercial stuff) like 50 cent, Jay Z and such sucks.

The South has some good old school like (like Geto Boys) but again the newer mainstream stuff like Lil Wayne and Lil John sucks too.

I would give the North the edge but the South has had some good stuff too

Flo-rida seems to be a new, popular southern rapper. His songs are real pop-ish though, so a much different sound than most northern rappers.

And I must say, his name is really unique and sounds cool.

I'm from Va but listen to music that sounds more like:


YouTube - Akinyele - Ak Ha Ha

Why? I grew up in the 90's

1986-1998 east coast hip hop is unprecedented. I usually try & be somewhat accommodating & partial, but................... Lets be serious.
The last 10 or so years have been straight lame for hip hop as a whole. This is the same time period when the South took control of the Airwaves & the direction of the record labels. You guys below the Mason Dixon cherish lowest common denominator culture & it shows in the BS hip hop you support.
I know I'm being rude, but it must be said. You all are strangling a once innovative art form.

^ i gotta admit, there was some decent musik from 2000-2005-ish. after that itt just went down hill. the best artist to blow up after 2005 was lupe and thats it. There's still some good stuff out there but it's just not on the radio
