People keep finding reasons to hate on the south. Ross, Wayne, TIP, Ludacris, and Jeezy are some of the highest selling rappers in the game. And ok fine everyone has their opinion so for all the people that say that Ross, Wayne, TIP, Luda, and Jeezy are terrible and cant rap and they **** on the fuzzy memory of what hip hop once was...what about artists like Bun B, Trick Daddy, Soulja Slim, Missy Elliot, Outkast, Scarface, Cee-Lo, Pimp-C, Z-Ro, Willie D, Master P? Yea NY is the hip hop mecca ok but times are a changing and music constantly changes. Nashville, New York, San Francisco, New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, and Los Angeles all at some point ran the music game. Hip hop is no different. NY had it for a while, west coast had it for a while, south got it now....maybe in like 6 years the midwest gonna drop of wave of amazing artists and they gonna run the game (and everyone else gonna be hating)...then maybe vegas and Seattle gonna spit out 7 top selling artists in a couple yrs then itll go back to NY. music moves in cycles.
I bet people that grew up on Run DMC and Kurtis Blow said hip hop was dead when Biggie and Pac came out

This is incorrect. the 80's and 90s era that was real hip hop. The south Killed Hip Hop however you would like to put it. Also, NYC has the best urban slang hands down. Everybody always try to copy our style in one way or another, and yes this includes our slang.
I'll start by saying the Bay Area. Few regions have such a dynamic and original set of words and phrases. In the bay these words permeate through all walks of life, social classes, races, etc.
Forget the obvious ones like "hella", "sick", "tight" etc, Here is a video to demonstrate some of the other ones. Watch it before you comment:

Oh lemme tell you how UGK, SUC, Master P, Luda, and the famous Outkast killed hip-hop.. Not many people wanna copy you money, b, son, feel me?
Location: Detroit's eastside, downtown Detroit in near future!

We never said yo here in Detroit lol
No but seriously, I can see how some eastcoast may have adapted more NYC slang than anywhere else but I really can't think of too many midwest cities that did. In the end, most cities have their own slang. Even some words that are "universal" aren't really because people may use them in different ways for each city
check dis out mayne, namtalmbout? without new yawk mane, der would be no hip hop, shawty.
so evidently somebody wanted to copy something, son. na'mean?
I'm not from Atlanta!
It would've started somewhere else. Philly maybe.
