Ima be honest. I hate NY. I hate its tall buildings, the traffic, and overall attitude..BUT some of the hardest realest MC’s of all time have originated 4rm here nonetheless real rap n freestyling…I like the fact they keep it old skool with tims n baggys and refuse to move on to skinnys n vans..NY hip hop scene will always be untouchable.

NYC ya bitches,Don’t cry now! Years and years of hating and dissing others who don’t say GOD, SON, DUN and YO fifty times in a conversation and now, you can’t sell shit. You did it to yourself. Remember the Source Awards in the 90′s. You guys acted like straight fucking bitches. NEW FLASH! You were never as important or relevant outside the east coast as you thought.

The East Coast is the best region in hip-hop

According to Last Week’s Poll
Not to jumpstart any ’90s-style regional rap beef, but last week’s poll had to do with which region in hip-hop is the best. I let this one run for two weeks because I’m getting lazy like that.

The results:

East Coast (594 votes)
West Coast (179 votes)
Dirty South (149 votes)
Midwest (95 votes)

Look. I can’t even argue anymore. This is gettin old. If you goin to disrespect the birthplace of the music then go head. All I’m sayin is that no one in the south has realy done music on such a high level as New York rappers new and old. Maybe just Outkast, Luda and T.I. Arrested development is good too. Just becuase the south is the big market right now, doen’t erase NYC’s place in the game. If you can listen to Lil Jon, and Dem Franchise Boyz, You can listen to Mims, Talib Kweli and Papoose. I still beileve New York is the rock of this game, and they should not let southern ignornace take that away from them. You don’t see any other city take the credit away from New Orleans for jazz or houston for screwed and chopped. But you will see a rookie like Young Joc with one album talk about how New York needs to sit back and let the south reign. For what? New Orleans has the right to be a mecca of jazz all they want. The same for houston with the chopped music. But New York. No body gives them that right. Just cuz they made it. The southerners talk all that smack about New York and still come to the damn city to try to gain a market. Eventually I hope people realize that the city that started this is still in the house and they aint goin no where because Young Joc told them too. Or any one else told them too. It aint even that damn serious. Southern artists work with east coast artists all the time. Kweli’s joint with UGK is crazy. Country cousions fo those of you interested. I hope the fact thet he from New York won’t stop those who are curious to hear the song. T.I is doin a joint with Jay Z with his new album. Ludacris and Young Jeezy is on New York record label for cryin out loud. At the end of the day rap music is just a beat and lyrics. People probably been doin sanp music a long time before Atlanta brought it to the forefront. If mims wants to do a snap record let him do a snap record. No body buys a hip hop album with just beats. Unless you lost your mind. This is the last time I’m talking about theis subject on this website. That is why i’m talkin so much. But with that said, I want to shout out to all 5 bouroughs of NYC. I want to shout out to everyone on the west coast, the mid west and the south too. This shit is just gettin immature and I don’t really wanna be a part of it. Shout out to the Jmaican community for tryin to bring unity to the hip hop world, but the fame and money is obviously gettin to some of our peoples head. Black people unite. It dpn’t matter where you from. We all have the same color, our culture is from the same orgin. I just want us to give respect to each other where respect is due. VA’S Finest and Lover of New York hip hop, sayin I love all of you all and God bless.

You are exactly right! Urgent care centers truly are a wave of the future with several more opening every week in the USA. They truly do fill the niche, treating mostly middle-class patients with middle-of-the-road problems WBR LeoP

I’m just gonna put it like the person told me. Every region will have its turn in hip hop shine. It will always be New York’s turn. New York decides when they come back or not. And from the looks of it right now, 2007 could be a year that New York recks havoc on the other regions. Other regions can say Fuck New York, or We got the shit now, or we runnin things, But New York is where all of this started, and there aint any of records you can sell, how many things you say, New York has been doin this longer than anybody and they know how to get themselves out of a dry stage before. Hell the’ve done it before with the west. What makes ya’ll think they can’t do it with the south or mid west. I am rooting for 2007 to be a year that New York hip hop regains its dominance from the hip hop world once again.

But for Atlanta to truly become an urban music centre, music executives say the major record labels need to move down here – a prospect few expect will happen given how entrenched the industry is in New York.

Atlanta is abundant in independent labels that have partnerships with record majors such as BMG or Sony. But the biggest label in the city is Def Jam South, which employs fewer than 10 people. Atlanta did have a prominent label in the mid-1990s with LaFace Records, started by Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds. It was sold to BMG’s Arista Records.

“I think that if Atlanta continues to have successful records, the city as a music hub will continue to grow with major label presence or not,” says Meadows-Ingram. “But I’d be surprised if you ever see Atlanta like a Nashville. Rap and hip hop will always be a New York thing. It’s inescapable. The industry was born there.”

NEW YORK IS THE MUSIC KING PERIOD

Oh, and New York 4 Life Man, the five boroughs are Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Long Island isn’t a borough. And you spelled borough wrong, too. NOT a good look. RIF muthafucka, RIF! Quit blogg’in and start study’in, son.

DAHC You’re obviously too young to know this or you wouldn’t claim that Gangsta Rap has its origins anywhere but NY. Just Ice was the first MC to throw gangsta shit on wax. Period. Before Tupac. Before NWA. Before BDP’s Criminal Minded (WA DA DA DANG!) actually set gangsta rap off for the rest of the world outside NY. He’s mad old school from the Soundmasters up in Castle Hill from back in ’73 (but your young ignorant ass wouldn’t know nuth’in ’bout that, since you talk like your daddy was prolly still swimm’in in your granddaddy’s nutsacks at the time. That would make you a nutsack swimmer from a nutsack swimmer’s sack at the time). You might know him from his single, Latoya? Mantronic ring a bell? DMX (not Earl, fool, the orginal one)? Didn’t think so. Check your history son, before you saying anything else. dumbfuck. As for the rest of you ra ra, suck a south dick, ooohhh ooohhhh me too motherfuckers talking bout the south is this and the south is that…Every ounce of game you slow motherfuckers got is from the North East. Hip hop is thirty motherfucking years old, and you’re just now getting paid off of it. Simpletons. Your success is damn near by default. Where the fuck else is there to go? You’ve got the benefit of picking up the thirty years of knowledge built in this city, capitalizing on that good NY shit we hooked the world on. So the fuck what you got a few artists topping charts now. West Coast did the same thing, and NY is still in it. You’ll come and go to, we’ll just continue to fill the little potholes you motherfuckers leave in our lawn. Your appeal lay in the fact that most places outside of NY are country dumb and not city slick. So when you release some of that low brow country dumb shit, it sells with heat because most of you southern niggas finally have some shit you can really understand. Its cool, get your eat on, its about fucking time you slow motherfuckers get to join the club. But you’ll play out soon enough so you better hurry up and get in where you fit in. Why? All your music sounds the same: glorified Afrika Bambataa track remixes, your content is repetitive: jewelry, cars and hoes (you all sound like you ain’t used to having shit, like its some big deal to have a nice car, jewelry, and to get pussy) is the sum and substance of your whole existence, and worst of all you judge how creative a song is by how quickly it’ll get some stripper to shake her ass. Pitiful. My man in the article says pretty much the same thing, just nicer. Throw that Lafy Taffy shit on and you motherfuckers act like its a new book in the bible, but throw some Dead Prez, Black Thought, or Talib on and you all get blank looks on your faces because that shit is WWWAAAAAYYYYY over your little heads. Its just the age of the dummies right now. I mean the fucking President was special ed! You are simply part of a general purpose dummying down of most things nowadays. You’re like our ignorant little retard children just now discovering the color purple thinking you’re the first ones to see it, feeling like you got one up on everybody else, when everybody else has been wearing it for years. Knowledge reigns supreme tho’. Soon folks will start to get hungry for a little more substance than most acts in the south can deliver. Big up to the cats in the south hold’in real hip hop down (there are some select notables down there, and they can’t sell shit either), your time is coming. Big up to all NY MCs and hip hop hedz (The Bronx in particular), remember we created this whole thing doing our own thing on project stairs, brownstone stoops, park benches, basements and rooftops. Lets NOT start copying shit now. Stay creative, stay conscious, stay underground, stay innovative. Peace.

Now the south can kiss my ass. New York aint gettin intimidated by ya’ll motherfuckers. I mean comeon, how many south artists are being considered as the greatest mc’s of all time. How many albums ya’ll got that can be considered classics. How much hip hop royalty ya’ll got down there. How many rappers have sold more records that all of our New York Legends. The only person from the south that was on the top ten of the richest rappers or producers. Jermanine Dupri with like 60 million. What about Jay Z and Diddy with over 300 million. How many rappers out ther can hold a stick to New York rappers. I mean compare ludacris to nas, TI to Rakim, Li’l Wayne toi Jay Z. End of story. Before Pac and Big died ya’ll were not even known. Now I admit that its the West coast and east coasts fault for allowing that to happen but that still don’t change anything. That’s what New York loves about the West side though. West Coast niggas were folk that actually gained our respect. They gave us a run for our money. It was actually fun until or greats were murdered. The south needs to show respect. Ya’ll wouldn’t be no where without us. Your most succesful rappers are signed or are associated with New York legends, Young Joc, Ludacris you name it. And by the way Diddy’s album and especially Jigga man’s album is gonna start puttin New York back on top of things. The south needs to stop talkin smack about New York and show respect. I don’t know how hard it is to do. 50 cent still runs the hip hop scene. Also that LL Cool J album should be hot because 50 cent is workin on it. We comin back man. I would love to see ya’ll down south bastards to come uo here and talk smack like that in the city where all of this was born. Ya’ll piss me off. It’s time to bring the east coast back baby.

I’m calling out names – this crap comin’ out of you phony rap fan MF’s is killin’ me.
All of you who made distorted comments
need to watch a dvd called ‘The Freshest Kids’. This dvd will show you how rap began and give you detailed facts – too many of you don’t understand the basic fundamentals of rap and you’re putting the carriage before the horse. Take heed to
this:
Saudi Arabia is the Mecca of Islam
- The word Islam means peace, as the principles of Islam spread they were distorted by different regions and subcultures who took it upon themselves to ignore the real truth and thus you have terrorism, radical islamist, and mayhem.

New York is the Mecca of rap and hip hop.
As it began to spread to other states it took on a different form. People disrepect
NY raps’ origins and the fundamentals of
rhyme and thus you have a DYING MUSIC FORM.
This is the reason New Yorkers are mad or
and the haters label us as ‘they’re bitchin’.

First on the list is:
The Deacon ChuckMystro
You say rap (allegedly) started in NY. Allegedly is strong word – I’d like to hear
your point of view on where – scratchin, breakin’ and rhyme skill originated from.
On No. 2 you downgrade rap like its just
nursery rhyme pedigree. I guess KC of
Jodeci is a better crooner than Al Green.
DAHC
You fell off a rock and started listening
to rap. Rap started in the streets – it
doesn’t have to be “gangsta” to be hard.
And Pac?!! – Rap is and never was about selling out on where you’re from and getting shot at everywhere you walk. If
Pac was from the south and went to NY
and said f#ck the south. Nobody in the
south would like him.
South Carolina Gangsta – Big Daddy Kane
was born in Bedstuy, Brooklyn – how can he be from North Carolina? Where do you get your information from? I was born
in Harlem – my father and my last name is
from SC. But I’m not from South Carolina.
Put me in SC and I’ll be disagreeing and schoolin’ niggas from the ground up on rap. Remember where you’re born is where you’re from. Being from NY is a “mindstate” not a gene or chromosone.
Finally – be it west, east, north, or south,
rap is dying – you tell who’s fault it is?
And whatever region anyone is claiming:
tell me why is the overwhelming opinion
or rap at an all time low?
