It was on the money but it failed to mention why it is the way it is. Yes, I agree, the South has been the home of mostly garbage especially in the last 10 years. However, that is not because of just the South. That is mostly the record companies and executives singing them and the radio stations marketing the crap they make. Back in the day, we couldn't get the best Southern rappers on the radio like 8ball and MJG, UGK, K-Rino and SPC, or even Dead Prez. Today, we can't even get Little Brother, Cunninlynguists, Mojoe, Jay Electronica, B.o.B. on the radio because they do not fit the image or standard like FLY, Shop Boyz, D4l, and DFB that has consumed the radio and tv waves the past 5 years. Not entirely our fault Yes the South must get some of the blame. But there is a reason why they get the blame. No region today is without garbage (east coast does have Mims now, west coast has new boyz, and midwest had Nelly and just about all the St. Louis rappers of this decade).
Nice video, that is a song I have never heard before. As far as hyphy is concerned it has settled down in the mainstream and I don't think it will rise again. It is still big out here in the Bay, but I am not really into hyphy all that much.

Hold up u never heard TROY before? WTH thats a bonafide hiphop classic. Have you even heard of pete rock
I noticed that all the videos(at least almost all) that are considered "good " hip-hop,that has been posted on this thread ,is before 2000.They have also been video's from the North.That tells me that the music was bad well before this decade which the South has owned.It seemed it started going down hill after 1997.
Yes I know of pete rock, I don't follow him I'm afraid to say. That song sounds awfully familiar, I think I have heard it on a video game before?
NBA Street Vol. 2? I used to love this song when it came out in 92 and I just stopped listening to it for like 10 years then when I bought the game the song came on I was Like OOOO YEAH!!!!! I REMEMBER THIS and now I got it on my Ipod.
^ That's my game right there... But can somebody tell me how Tampa Is beating baltimore on the poll? No disrespect to tampa but, seriously, who in hip hop or r&B has come out of tampa bay. At least Baltimore has Dru hill, lil mo, and Mario. Hell, tupac lived in b-more for a while so IMO it should be leading tampa. Unfortunately I already voted, but its the thought that counts lol
