My question is........................ After all these years of the south being in the spotlight, where are the classic albums (scarface, outkast aside). Beyond that, where are the records that matter? Where are the records that will be seem as important? The south makes disposable music no one will talk about as significant in 10 years. Lil' Wayne will NOT be talked about in the same breath as Rakim.
Where's the south's Illmatic, The Score, Three Feet High & Rising, Fear Of A Black Planet, Reasonable Doubt, 36 Chambers, Breaking Atoms, Criminal Minded, Paid In Full, Mecca & The Soul Brother, Black On Both Sides, Great Adventures Of Slick Rick, The Infamous, Cuban Linx, The War Report, Uptown Saturday Night, Muddy Waters, Da Shinin', Ready To Die, Critical Beat down, Do You Want More, Hard To Earn?
While the East Coast had the spotlight, they made it count & dropped a wild amount of quality albums. I truly can't say the same for the south. This is your time to lay the foundation for your legacy. You're not doing it though.
No classic down south albums besides 'Kast, and Goodie Mob?? Seriously??

And lets not forget that Jay Electronica and BOB (from New Orleans and Atlanta respectively) who are two of the hottest underground artists right now regardless of where they are from. Along with the best IMO in the game Andre 3000 whose solo album drops Jan. 2010, along with another 'Kast album next summer. The south aint going no where homie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now I while I have heard most of the albums you listed (CNN's the War Report is not a classic, my 5 year old cousin raps better than capone and noreaga, some other albums on there are questionable as well), I would be willing to bet that you have not heard even 1/4 of the albums I listed. So do your research homie and listen before you say the south has no classic albums....
Their label (Future Records) was based in Va Beach. This song was actually recorded their in VA. The second verse was written by Pharrell Williams...who was ~19 at the time.
Stop following me around this forum and quoting me dude!!!! You run and tell the mods and send me private messages when I say something to you, but yet you keep coming at me. So once again you can dish it, but you cant take it huh? Thats how they do in Jersey?? Seriously B your making Jersey look bad!!
And I never said Latinos try to be black, nothing could be farther from the turth. I said that allot of Latinos in Miami do the same things blacks do down there- gold teeth, old schools with rims, some even have dreadlocks. And dont act like Latinos in NYC, Miami and Chicago are very much hip hop, which by extension is a black culture
