Every black person in New York is only a generation or two removed from the South! So why are you hatin'? Your daddy's daddy's daddy's nut-sack is of Southern origin! The South is the backbone of the African-American experience! The South is the cradle of black folks' existence! The South is the womb of Northern progressiveness! The South is the birthplace of Call and Response, Ragtime, Jazz, Gospel, R&B… and by extension-RAP/HIP-HOP! The South has a rich...

You see people, the "powers that be" within the industry (mainly big Jewish money men), always have known the power within our music, the government knows this as well. THINK!!! After that PE and Professor Griff foolishness from the late 80's, there has been constant attacks on Hip Hop culture and particular the EMCEE. When Rakim Allah, Lakim Shabaazz, Queen Latifah, Chill Rob G. and The Juice Crew All-Stars started to "inject" more of a "enlighten" view and...

There is a reason why the south is on top now, and it's not by these clowns being talented (there are a few, but the vast majority are weak and they know their music is weak).

More later.

I will say this about the South and it's lack of lyrical content. I am sooooo tired of saying let the South ride cause they got unity. Who Gives A Flying CKUF?????

You can seriously name on two hands the seriously lyrical MC's that came out of the south. And I don't mean lyrical with one single. I mean LYRICAL as in classic album(s).

Only a certain amount of MC's from the South can even claim that. UGK, OutKast, Scarface (Ghetto Boys).

I mean lets...

The reason I bring Tupac into this discussion is because all things in this culture are connected… Because Tupac was bi-coastal and he ended up on the West Coast in all his destructive anger… a divide was wedged among the people and sides where chosen…

When Biggie falls victim to the chaos created by Tupac and Puffy emerges w/Mase as his sidekick in their shiny suites …all in the name of keeping Biggie and (NY) Hip Hop alive… and was allowed to...

I blame all this shit on Tupac... he just would not let go of what he thought to be the situation and others feed into it (i.e. The Media) and we the culture were pigs who consumed all the lies and drama...Sister Woo

I don't understand how you equate hip-hops lack of lyrical depth with Tupac. Tupac himself wasn't a complex rhyme writer, but he was a poet. He was very adapt at translating emotion into words and...

I miss pimp c I miss big hawk I miss fat pat and I miss the old south everybody has their time and their say and why hate on them because they are going to shine anyway even before they became mainstream they were doing their thing underground because people was checking for their sound. So it's whatever but they have their beefs too. Gucci mane and Young jezzy can't stand one another, the Wet boys hated cash money, who killed soulja slim? Even mannie fresh why is gone? well this is...

FlavorBlade says... "Naw southern rap ain't saying nothing slick to a can of oil, but the game ain't rusting either. "

^ is an excellent way to wrap it all up...

But we can not deny that Hip Hop is a Lyracist art expression... How can you call yourself an MC (Mic Controller / Master of Ceremonies) if you do not posess the tools and skills?

I blame all this shit on Tupac... he just would not let go of what he thought to be the situation and...

What people have to understand is that hip-hop carries the character of it's region. Southerners have never been know as articulate wordsmith's as opposed to slick talking northerns. The slickest lyrical M.C in the South is Ludacris, and he's really from Chicago. Lil Wayne is a great lyricist by Southern standards and his baby babble he would get destroyed in cipher with Papoose, Kurrupt, and/or Lupe. What the South has going for it is what it's always had socially, good...

As I read this I hear "Sonset" by Ras Kass... He said it best, that and "Quit Hating The South" by UGK. Listen to those two and it sums it up.
