Rae, Ghost and Meth did an interview with Lord Sear. Sear brought up the whole Waka Flocka “I ain’t got no lyrics” thing. They all went off into a tangent of hip-hop and taking pride in intelligent creative lyrics.

    Damn….they sound like Madd Rappers….There are plenty of non lyrical MC’s everywhere. The WU was hot in the 90′s. 20 years ago..
    I think some of these older rappers should realize their age.

    People like Meth Redman Jada LL Scarface Nas Goody Mob has gone in mad
    deep lyrically and has earned the respect of the streets and the entire
    industry the industry has these young peoples ears trained for popcorn
    gumball wack trash which Meth is right is not Hip-Hop at all back in
    the day it was about SKILLZ you had to have it in order to even be in
    the Game you couldn’t play without it they would embarrass you and make
    you crawl under a chair if you were wack and they weren’t running across
    a stage saying some thing wack and holding their joints in their hands
    they performed and it made you think about what they said that’s how
    impressionable what they actually said was and it had you to the point
    like “did he just say that” and everything does go in cycles so STREETS
    LET ME SAY THIS GET READY IT’S COMING and that’s for all the wack
    rapping cats out there this is a mans sport don’t get involved if you can’t maintain your position then that means stay in your lane.

    Older rappers are all we got!!!!! The only young/new rappers that have anything to say worth listening to would be Lupe…..Name 1 rapper today thats young that has any Lyrical content? Most rappers wouldnt know Lyrical content unless it hit em in they grill…….Dumbed Down to the fullest!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/RecksJr/ RecksJr

    @1changedman: You said name one rapper, I can’t. Thing is, rappers are corporate-image created. Whereas MCs are from the streets and original. Show Tufli, Charles Hamilton, Adam Tensta & Lupe Fiasco are the only people I can come up with who’s under 30 that are original MCs. They all are have unique content yet relative to all people and ages. Far as Waka Flocka, Lil’ Wayne, Fat Joe, etc. them niccas ain’t MCs, they rappers. & People get they head gassed up, mimicking them, quoting they lines as if they lifestyle. And it’s really annoying to see/hear that. Niccas 5-star this, independent that, im gettin money and the 3rd, but they got no proof. bunch of imitators these days, and it’s the “rappers” fault. im glad the “rappers” getting they money, but at the cost of influence & no entertainment? smh, but like you said, older MCs are all we got now a days. Ain’t nobody touching the top shottas in the game. Wu-Tang, Slaughterhouse, Rakim, KRS, Bun B, Eminem, Styles P, Buckey, Snyp Life, Large Amount, A.P., nobody touching these niccas, not a soul

    Not to knock all southern rappers, but the majority out there do not have any type of lyrical game!!! Most have dumb down the game on the real!!! Really I do not listen to the so called MC’s from the south.
    I guess I am old school, the MC is supposed to move the crowd. My 5 year old son has better lyrics than most of the rappers from the south.
    I like Outcast, Luda, Geto Boys, Little Brother and there are more that shows rappers from the south do have game.
    LIL WAYNE IS A JOKE!!! HE SUCKS AND DEFINTELY NOT THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! HE LOOKS LIKE A S**T TERD DEMON AND HIS LYRICS ARE STRAIGHT UP GARBAGE!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/supwitit1/ supwitit1

    Its Like this to me…everybody’s style is different. The southern tongue is different than that of the north. We use different wording. I don’t knock no rapper. Especially southern. I’m used to the bopping beats and hit the floor style like some trigga man. But if you’re not from the south, you’re like a Romanian going to Mexico for the first time. You’re not gonna get everything right off and some of the stuff you’ll never fedl. On top of that its wack eastcoast rappers. But yall bashing the south? If so many peeps didn’t like it how did Meth them even know Gucci, OJ, or Wacka existed? Let them guys eat n feed they fam. The game has evolved..it loves no one. Its the south’s turn. If you don’t like it like dat den the south will make sure to make raps to hurt everybody’s ears and the north can keep shipping in the dope and continue to kill the world off

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Babyface843/ Babyface843

    intelleiigent mc-ing is absent in the southern rap style. Except for luda and t.I. And outkast. It’s getting sickening with the dum lyrics and everyone sounding alike. The east coast has the most creative and intelligent mc’s. Their lyrics make you think. Cars bling and women don’t. I am from the south. I hunger for that east coast sound.

    It is telling, if your craft is better than others it will be known.

    If you have to criticize your rival then there is a good chance that you are not as good as you think you are.

    If your east coast rap is better than southern rap, you wouldn’t have to say it.

    WAIT HOLD UP!! Some fool said, the GAME HAS EVOLVED? Son, you need to either READ some History or LISTEN to some REAL Brothers, Be it North, South, East, or West.

    Slaves coming out of bondage spoke like your “evolution’ of rapping. If there was any Evolution, it would be called, from Intelligence to Ignorance. From RESPECT to Shameless discord for anything Positive. From Clean and Fun to FILTHY MOUTH IDIOTS THAT CANNOT READ, SPEAK DECENT, AND MORE THAN LIKELY, COULD NOT GET A G.E.D. Monkey See, Monkey Do, since he got a Dollar I Do the Same Thing Too!

    You cannot TEACH for you have no been TAUGHT HOW to Teach, Lead, Enlighten, or Set any positive Example. You calling yourself, nigga this, nigga that, nigga, nigga, nigga. You Promote GENOCIDE! Sell Drugs, Sell Drugs, Get Money cause I sell drugs. DRUGS ARE POISON FOOL! If you constantly preaching about drugs and you are not selling to NO ONE BUT YOUR OWN PEOPLE, IT’S CALLED SELF HATE, GENOCIDE, AND AS THE ANTHEM WENT BEFORE YOUR IGNORANCE, “Your’re Headed For Self Destruction!”

    I can break ALL of you FOOLS Down, but then I’d be a Martyr like Malcom X. Hold Your Head on this one. The Ku Klux Klan relives itself Through Todays Rap Music! Kill a nigga, shoot a nigga, stab a nigga, been to jail (slavery) my nigga, pimp’n nigga, hustlin nigga, yo my nigga, I pull my trigger nigga, but only on a nigga. I got jewelry nigga, cars nigga, house nigga, pool nigga, planes nigga, boats nigga. Oh and I drink nigga, smoke nigga, kill niggas, cause guess what? Imma real nigga!

    THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL MUSIC/ THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CHILDREN AND THEIR MENTAL FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY? YOU S**T YOUR FEMALES, THE MOTHERS OF OUR FUTURE FOR YOUR LUST IGNORANCE, AND SELFISH PRIDE AND CALL YOURSELF AND ARTIST? A MAN?

    YOU MUST WORK FOR THE KU KLUX KLAN OR THAT RACIST PART OF AMERICA THAT LOOKS TOO HOODWINK, LEAD-ASTRAY, AND BAMBOOZLE THE BLACKMAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD HERE IN AMERIKKA!

    YEAH, I AM BORN AND BASICALLY RAISED IN NYC. I RAPPED IN THE LATE 70′S, THE 80′S AND 90′S. I CAN STILL SET FIRE TO THE MIC WITHOUT DEGRADING MY MOTHER OR MY BROTHER! I HAVE LIVED IN THE DEEP SOUTH, WEST COAST AND MANY PLACES IN BETWEEN. I DO NOT DISCRIMINATE, A BAG OF GARBAGE FROM ANY HOOD IS STILL A BAG OF GARBAGE THAT STINKS.

    EVOLUTION HUH? SOME ONE NEEDS TO GET A DICTIONARY. YOU MEANT, THIS IS THE DOWN FALL, SO JUST LET US GET THE MONEY WE CAN. SCREW THE FOUNDATION OF THE BLACK PEOPLE!

    NOW CONGRATULATE YOURSELF!

    LOL at lame cats calling these legends madd rappers cause they speak the truth. When did it become hating to call a spade a spade. With the the exception of Goodie Mobb. Outkast, Scarface and Luda (only on certain songs where he actually tries)south is a joke for lyrics. This is coming from a born and bred Miami native.

    Some dude on here said something about they need they to realize their age and that times change. That’s weak on so many levels. First of all good music never goes out of style no matter the era, that’s why you still got LOTS of people bumpin, WU, ATCQ, NAS, Scarface, Outkast. Etc. Secondly Age means nothing in terms of lyrical skills.

    Rakim said it best. “Timeless, cause age don’t count in the booth/ when ya flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth”. Also when it come to the list of southern rappers that are an exception to the garbage southern rule PLEASE DON’T include Jeezy, he is one of the worst that has ever touched a mic.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Everyday_Stunna/ Everyday_Stunna

    Once again these east coast rappers show how much haters they are….when the west was doing they thing, they was hatin on dem, now that the south on top, they talkin they s**t again….yo, dont hate on these niggas for makin money, go get urs and shut up….stop hatin on other black men tryin to better themselves….so what if they dont have no lyrics, I bet they mad cause they girl be listening to the s**t and dont even have a cd of them nigga…not even a mp3….stop hatin already and congratulate other poor black men tryin to make something of themselves or something for themselves

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AIRONOTICS/ AIRONOTICS

    yeah its the truth cause more and more rappers coming out either sound like straight trash or they are some fake studio gangstas. so when i think of lyrical rappers of the south i think of scarface ludacris t.i. bun b dont get me wrong the east have some wack rappers. but i know damn well if im in my ride im not about bump some soulja boy. too much bulls**t music getting put out so ill stick to my ipod where i wont hear it on the radio. ill listen to a lyrical rapper than some bulls**t music anyday

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/XthrustX/ XthrustX

    You have to have been there to understand real talk….some of these comments are so lame bcuz ppl don’t know facts, Rae, Ghost and Meth are some of the realist MC’s ever, yes they are speaking their opinnions but they don’t just spit game about the south, they get at anyone that’s spitting sideways, They even went @ BIG regarding his 1st album. The south does have its share or MC’s with lyrical content but on the same note the mojority sound like Hip Hop harry…no content at all, repetitive lyrics, no conceptional tracks….no stories, I can go on and on. And as far as beats….in the last. 2 years how many tracks used that ayyyyyyy sample? Come on you can’t be serious, Lil wayne? Wacka Flacka Sambo?, gucci, plies… they all sound like a bunch of power rangers…..its ok that these lames are getting their bread, its the season for spitting garbage and its country wide…Jenny Jones,Florida,Soulja, even outside the country with Drake. Yes DRAKE, that dude is garbage but again, don’t look at Meth,Rae, and Ghost as haters bcuz they can go line for line verse for verse and murder anyone in the south.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/gapeaches26/ gapeaches26

    Well those southern rappers have record deals and money. Wonder if the same could be said of Ghostface, Raekwon and Method Mad. They need to sit their old behinds down somewhere. They’ve had their day in the sun. It’s ovah son!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/U-CANT-HANG/ U-CANT-HANG

    They right, and all the comments about these cats is getting money don’t mean a thing. The sales charts is what matters and if you look at those charts you will see that these RAPPERS are not seeing the the same type of sales that M.C.’s were seeing back when it was about lyrics. If you ask most people who even listen to the music most will tell you that they like it because it has a good club beat and not because the music has any kind of decent lyrics. To me it’s not about north or south east or west it’s about skill with the words. If you go to a website and read some of these lyrics and see just how ridiculous a lot of these cats sound. If you can rap you can rap, a thumping beat should not get you over no matter where you come from.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/IndioLatino/ IndioLatino

    I CAN AGREE AND DISAGREE WITH THEM. PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT REAL HIP-HOP HAS A MESSAGE AND LYRICAL ORIGINALITY. THE FIRST RAPPERS WERE POLITICAL AND HAD A MESSAGE. AND WHAT Y’ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS YEA THERE’S SOUTHERN RAPPERS WITH A RECORD DEAL BUT THEIR SLAVES TO THEIR OWN IGNORANCE. THE MUSIC THAT YOU HEAR NOW IS CONTROLLED TO MAKE YOU LISTEN. JUST LIKE POLITICS. IT’S ALL A FABLE AND MADE-UP STORY TO THINK THIS IS GOOD AND THAT HAS SUBSTANCE. AND WHAT I DISAGREE WITH IS THEY ARE BEING DISRESPECTFUL. YEA SURE SOME SOUTHERN RAPPERS ARE “NO LYRICS” PEOPLE BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE BOOTY SHAKING S**T TOO.. THEIRS A MARKET FOR ANYTHING.. BUT NOW IT’S TOO MUCH OF GARBAGE. THAT’S THE ILLUMINATI FOR YOU. CONTROLLING OUR LIVES. THAT IS WHY WE SUFFER.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chef3star/ chef3star

    this is how i c it these kids like gapeaches who dont know the real rap game would always have some lame shi———-t to say .so because these guys have age now they cant rap wtf .rap has always and will alway still b about lyrics .ok waka might have a good beat to get them papers but in a year or two he will b broke .ghost,chef and meth can go to any stage in the world and still sell out every seat lets see waka do that .now bout age who gives a f——– hov is like 40plus and still the best in the game . so i will say stop being a groupie and live the life if u really love the culture

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TiredMan/ TiredMan

    The fact that youngsters would attack their elders on the subject indicates how ignorant young black people are nowadays. They have no sense of culture, no appreciation for different musical styles, and most can’t even string together a coherent sentence, so its no wonder that they gravitate toward those bama rappers with their weak, childish, unsophisticated lyrics that hide behind heavy, party beats. Just because they have “deals and money” doesn’t mean anything…slave masters had “deals and money” too, but we all know who did the real work. Young people should stay in their places…seen and not heard (from). ;)

    Simple minded rapper, simple minded consumers! The music is a business, you’re right, but that just means it’s a product that people want and will pay for! So that means dumb ass people make it possible and don’t care about the foundations of rap- so why would these corny ass rappers? Put a corny product out, idiots buy, money is made!

    Tell you the truth,hip-hop commenced geniside onecthe 90′s kicked in..
    It became a battle of who is the best lyricist, but lyrics alone does not a song make.
    70% of any song is the music ofcourse, so if you put “Hip-Hop” rapper/lyricsit with a very suddle beat, no choris, and a buch of three syilable words.It will put todays listeners too sleep..
    Yet, no real words spoken over a beat dubb to be “Crunk”, with a catchy choris line……. Sales albums, ringtones, and whut ever else you can down-load, upload, sync, burn or bootleg. (Hince a souja boy)..
    But anyway, i said that too see, i dontr think these guess are the answer too whut ills ya(hip-hoppers).. especially when whut illed ya killed ya.. Let it go.

    Hip-Hop
    R.I.P you will never be forgotten. or revived.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/unknown108/ unknown108

    First all this article is wrong. Its says “Reakwon, Meth, and Ghost Face criticize ‘no lyrics’ southern rappers”. Method Man was the one to make a comment and he only said certain southern rappers. Now I admit that they might of spent a little to much time on the south, like New York never produces garbage or bubble gum rappers, but I think everyone is missing the bigger point. It used to be that when you said “rock ‘n’ roll” you thought of certain groups. Now rock as spreadout to be heavy, alternative, new age and it goes on. I think that instead of trying to put rappers in a weight class we need to acknowledge that rap has branched out and that you do not have different classes, but different types. It is a good thing though because it just shows that hip hop is growing.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/unknown108/ unknown108

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/billy-danze1/ billy-danze1

    LOL at no nothing chicks wondering if these three got record deals and money. That type of comment disqualifies you from speaking on hip-hop at all. That’s the WHOLE POINT of the interview was to point out that idiots with no lyrical skill make music for idiots with no brains, but the idiots with no brains will support them and try to discredit real emcees by askin “do they have money and record deals”?

    The answer to both questions is OF COURSE!! Secondly the types that focus whether or not a rapper is making money instead of making good music are probably the same ones who are the groupies looking for baby daddies at concerts since they only concern is money.

    Younger one (FEMALES ESPECIALLY) don’t know jack about hip-hop and seem to be ok with it. There have been SOOOO MANY time where i’ll be listening to a joint from somebody like NAS or the Wu or somebody that a newer artist remade or took samples from recently and the person (chick usually) will be like “who is that copying off of (insert newer rapper here)”.

    When that happens I just look at em like they are stupid, then in my most sarcastic voice ask them what year the song they are thinking of came out, when they answer I tell them the year what i’m listening to came out. Then I even more sarcastically, ask them if they are aware that the year my song came out (1996 for example) took place way before what they listen too (2007 for example).

    Then I say something like “is it possible that your artist (Jeezy for example) somehow went back in time and made the song first but then my artist (Mos Def for example) heard it and copied it?” Or is it more likely that your guy copied from my guy??” Lastly, when they feeling pretty dumb I just look at em like a disappointed parent and in my most disappointed voice tell em. “At least TRY to know the history before you just blurt out like that, because you can be loud or you can be wrong but you can’t be both at the same time.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dark_Water90/ Dark_Water90

    First of all I am from the South…Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area. But currently in Ga. After reading some of the comments on here…I can agree with Doozey and Odoggz comments. I too am fed up the kindergarter, sing-along rap songs that being put out my some of the rappers here from the South but also from the West Coast, Midwest and yes up North (ex. Nicki Mijah). Yes there are alot of rappers riding that 15 minutes of fame. And lot of them of we wont speak of this time next year (check the recent pattern). Alot of these rappers put out mindless, non-creative music that appeals to simple minded individuals (they know who they are..if you are offended that means you probably are the one I am referring to). I am not saying thats everyone who listen to their music. Hell some of the tracks have tight beats and loops but is sabotaged by the rapper’s lack of content and creativity. Example, if you can have a 5 yr old repeating the simple song verbatim, its simple. The type of “I love you, you love me” Barney music. Yes there is alot of garbage being put out now..not just the South but every where else to. Who to blame…first the record companies because they want what is popular at the time. And that the trend right now..simple songs with a catchy beat that make people dance or singalong to. Second, I blame the artist comes out the garbage and expect us to support. Thats the equivalent of putting bullshyt on someone plate and expects them to eat it. Yet some will because of the limited intelligence, lack of creative hunger or hell dont know better. And lastly I blame the consumers who support the garbage that comes out. Yes you can support rappers from your region but damn not all of them. Thats like investing your money in real estate in the Everglades. You know and choose who you want to support for the long haul because of 1. The history of the artist. 2. The product the artist puts out. and 3. The longevity of the artist (like i compared to investing money). If you were a label..who would you back Ludacris (a solid stock with a long history, puts out good product, and always a good or steady return) or Waka Flocka (a new stock with a very short history but is a hot pick ..right now, questionable product being put out now (depending on the consumer) and a VERY questionable return (longevity is very much in question). Examples…Soulja Boy…dropping stocks..hard (should have back him @ Walk it Out and dumped his stock @ Kiss me over the Phone. Mims…a stock bust. How many of you are still waitng for D4L to drop a new one? What I am saying think about that flashy new artist that has one good hit at the moment (disppointment comes with you purchase the whole cd). Trust me I back alot of the Southern artists as well as music from everywhere else (8ball-MJG, Bun B, Pitbull, Trick, JayZ, etc). My hip-hop portfolio is iron clad because back the ones that put out good product, and gonna be there for a minute. There is ALOT of garbage being put out in hip-hop as well as R&B (THATS A WHOLE NEW BOX TO OPEN…its alot of garbage in R&B right now) and other music as well. But I listen to good music and I know who to back. I will still bump a Public Enemy track just of the content of what was being said. The art of storytelling in hip hop is gone. Only a select few possess this ability and most of them are the ones who been in the game for a minute (iron clad stock) compared to the 15 min. rappers (the blue chip stock..alot of hype but rarely a big return). This is something to think about. Put yourself in that record company CEO position and use the scenerio I described earlier. It doesnt just have to be rappers from the South but from where ever. And think about what you would do. There is a reason why alot of these garbage, 15 min artists dont have long term deals with alot of the big name record companies. (could you see Waka Flocka going into Universal with his hit demanding the same contact Universal gave Cash Money at the time…30 million?) Hell no!! Think about how long that artist is going to be around and what product he is going to put out next. I dont like garbage ass music and to some of you on here tends to wallow in it. If my blog offended you…well I hit right on target(the simple minded ones), or you have know clue or understanding of what I am talking about (too complicated for you like chinese arithmetic).

Willie the Kid is a great lyricist. He did that song For the love of moeny which had Bun B and Gucci Mane on it. I didn’t like it really and he raps circle around Gucci anyways. He didn’t get much buzz though. There alot of guys from the south that are every bit as good lyrically as anyody from Wu-Tang. But the general public simply wants simplistic club bangers such as Stanky Leg.

    They right tho. That’s not hating. Because most artists that sells is not lyrically talented at all. THIS IS REAL LYRICAL HIP HOP MC.

    I look at my life and the positive things I wanna do. I do this rap s**t people cause this is what I like to do. I’m tryna be big like those mainstream rappers but I from new haven people. So I’m not ya average. I gotta deal with crimes, killings, and violence. Jay number 1 and yeah he sold millions. Number 1 albums. They say he’s the king like Elvis was to rock but let’s be honest who was the people that was buyin Elvis music????? I write what’s real and true to me. I write for that same person that can relate to me. For all my people struggling workin that 9-5. For all my young dudes locked up with no future facing that 25. For all the school kids just tryna have a good life. To the single baby moms just tryna plan their kids futures right. To the drug dealin daddies just tryna make some ends meat. To all the fallen soldiers we lost in the street from the heat. So I gotta protect myself. With my vest on I’m D Wadein em. Tre pound, One shot, (yup) I’m clutch gaming em. Nice beats, catchy hooks and chourus that simon says dance s**t. If weezy ILL then I’m sick. Hots**t when I spit. Mark, set, let’s go. They call me animal I’m a beast and you soon will know. I’m a m60e I can spit fast or slow. On the track. I’m fast I got some spikes. Let’s go. But my speed is for the boy with the badge. See I’m a young black man. He tryna put me in jail. he’s the devil and I aint tryna go 2 hell. I’m tryna get my life right. The lord is my night light. Left or right path. I see the right sight. That Yale is not right cause I work for them. So I know they clowns. They say motivation is the key. I’m the key so would you drive with me? I aim high so would you fly with me? Even a deaf person would hear me. Even a blind person would feel me. And If your not listening then how the hell you feelin me???? Now they feelin me!!!!!

    I’m a southerner and hate the crap that’s out now. Goodie Mob and Scarface has been replaced with bafoonery like Waka Flaka and Soulja boy. The same people who buy this crap won’t appreciate or never care for real Hip-Hop music or the culture ever. They only care about the moment basically. It’s sad to see Europeans and Japanese care more about the elements and culture of Hip-Hop than Black Americans.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ricochet80/ Ricochet80

    The only Southern rappers that are truly lyrical rappers include the following: Scarface, Eight Ball & MJG (old school), Ludacris (really from Illinois), and TI. The rest of them are hot garbage over a banging beat and hook.

    However, the youngster hip hop listeners are the ones who determine what’s hot, so who are we to say. I mean we starting to sound like our parents when they use to tell us what real music is.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BLESSMAY/ BLESSMAY

    richochet nailed it on the head. we old that style is old!
    r&b dont sound the same. Rap shouldnt either.
    The only thing that dictates whats hot in rap is whats the most gutter
    cause thats where it came from. So whatever coast or hood is coming the most gutter is the one that will rise to the top.

    Red nem can talk that lyricism thing but they was big when they were doing music videos literally in the gutter… under the streets, in the sewers.

    Thats what rap is thats why the streets dictate whats hot. We aint in the clubs every weekend we dont know!

OMG, wow! umm no. Chicken noodle soup? uhh ok who doesnt remember eatin chicken noodle soup with soda? These songs are a hot azz mess! A true lyricist is poetry to me but these youngsters now.. dont really understand what that means, and they looking for that fast money just because they music might sound good. Some can agree or disagree. But either way it goes, the music today is bullshyt

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Red_Clay_Chronicles/ Red_Clay_Chronicles

    OK, being a Southerner that enjoys lyricism, I had to speak on this one. I respect what Meth, Ghost, and Raekwon spoke on, and I agree to an extent. Joke ass artists like Soulja Boy & Waka Flocka have a place…in the under 16 crowd….never should their music be the measuring stick for Southern rap. The bar was set awhile ago, back when hip-hop was all about lyrics, and less about beats….by Outkast, Scarface, UGK, heck…even T.I., Ludacris, and Chamillionaire kept the tradition alive. Most of what’s presented now, is garbage that isn’t worthy of my hard earned funds…It’s sad though, because so many cats in my age group have just accepted that hip-hop is dead, and that ringtone rap is what this music is destined to become.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mike_diesel27/ mike_diesel27

    What I wanna know is, why do people continue to bring up Soulja Boy, Stanky Leg niggas, and all the other dancing rappers? Have you ever heard them say “hip hop is what I do?” No you haven’t! So, why do we even say they’re killing hip hop? These young dudes are not the problem with hip hop. Hell, they don’t even consider themselves to be in the genre of hip hop anyway. And people who are saying we need real hip hop listeners back, they haven’t gone anywhere. They’re just not buying. I’m from New Orleans, LA and I’ve listened to guys like, Wu Tang Clan, KRS-1, Eric B. and Rakim, A Tribe Called Quest, even the damn Fu-Schnickens lol. But, when was the last you heard of these dudes? And even if they dropped an album, a lot of you so-called “Hip Hoppers” wouldn’t buy it anyway. You’d just download it from Limewire or something. Bottom line, if you don’t like it then don’t listen.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_bookoo_tweaks_/ _bookoo_tweaks_

    I agree with mike_diesel 100%. Obviously the hip-hop artists aren’t putting out music that the mainstream is interested in right now. If they were, more people would buy their music AND the rap artists’ music. It’s not like people have to choose only one genre of music and stick to it, and both rap and hip-hop have their place. Many people don’t care about lyrics… it’s all about the beats! When it comes to setting off a party, hip-hop just will NOT do! Imagine strippers shaking their azz to some damm “conscious music”. Party environments need “ringtone rap”, and if you don’t like it, don’t listen! How hard is that?

The LESS TALENT one had…the MORE they got $$$…..the more NEGATIVE BULLSHlT they rapped about…..the MORE MONEY THEY MADE !The SOUTH has some FRESH artists….but it’s HARD TO TELL THAT FROM WHAT THEY PLAY ON RADIO & VIDEO ! When it comes to those outlets….there’s only about 3% that can actually get BUSY……the REST??? GAAARBAAAAGE.

    And YES,The EAST COAST radio is DOO DOO STAINED with the WEAK SHlT TOO, because THE INDUSTRY DOESN’T WANT TRUE TALENT TO SHINE ANYMORE ! It’s BEYOND HIPHOP/RAP……THEY KNEW HOW POWERFUL THE MUSIC WAS FROM the GOLDEN ERA :PUBLIC ENEMY, NWA, RUN DMC,ERIC B & RAKIM,
    X-CLAN; BRAND NUBIAN,BOOGIEDOWN PRODUCTIONS,PARIS,POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS, etc……THEY KNEW IT WAS REVOLUTIONARY & WOULD EVENTUALLY HELP LEAD US TO SELF SUFFICIENCY AS A PEOPLE….SO THEY SHUT IT DOWN……ONLY WAY WE GET THAT ON MAINSTREAM RADIO NOW, IS AS A THROWBACK SHOW…..THEY DON’T EVEN WANT US TO HAVE NOT EVEN ONE CLASSIC HIPHOP RADIO STATION! BECAUSE IT REGENERATES THE MINDS…..THOSE LYRICS ARE ABOUT SOMETHING POWERFUL…..SELF LOVE, BLACK LOVE, BLACK UNITY! THEY DON’T WANT THAT ! SO THEY USE $$$ TO SILENCE THE TRUTH…..BUT TRUTH BURIED SHALL ALWAYS RISE TO THE TOP AGAIN & AGAIN…..

But bet that those dudes can go to any country on the globe and get respected and hold it down, the wacka flacka and other mother goose, elmos world rappers can only dream to get that clout, those dudes were able to branch off into movies, clothing and other fields to get that paper and respect. Real recognize real and what they are saying is that alot of dudes (not all) in the south are mad lame…we have lames in NY also (NORE) but he knows how to put a record together. these southern dude get a catchy hook and then its grand opening grand closing. I talk this s**t bcuz I live it. half of you mofo`s still dont wipe properly and you are speaking on s**t out of your realms. The cadence, word play and metaphors those dudes use is to advanced for your simple simon minds…loosen up the skinny jeans and get your mind right. This is not a east Vs south debate. Facts are fact…the hip hop audience today is dumbed down…look at TV you got ppl saying the “best dance crews are abunch of cracker ass crackers and gooks…dont get me wrong they do get it in but where are the black and latinos?…same thing with american Idol…a bunch of fabricated B.S., wheres the soul?….and thats how it its with rap, the south is too repetitive, where are the stories?, where are the political songs?, everything is ass ass ass, car car car, chain chain chain…f**k outta here with that rented s**t…today anybody can get it in and get those things so what are you saying…stay in the game like my dudes M.O.P. for almost 20 yrs with no radio play but can have concerts in any place in the world like yugoslavia where mofo`s are reciting every verse….thats f**king hip hop. I Talk this bcuz I live it.

    LMFAO! Yeah, it’s true. Most rappers from the south aren’t as lyrical as those from up north. OutKast, T.I., Scarface, and UGK got lyrics if you’d agree. I rep Naughty New Jerz and I got fam from Texas to Atl so theres no hatin’ on our own peoples down bottom. Up north, east coast will forever hold it down lyrically. The south can keep all that bootyshakin’ music. That’s them. It just doesn’t stimulate your mind to what’s goin’ on in the world. That’s what hiphop was created out of. Now it’s all corporate but most to the fans in the south don’t see the bigger pic and don’t how it started, they just see the money that’s made. Say what y’all want but stop abusing the craft. That’s why some of us consider hiphop is dying.lol Hatin’ what! ps Wu-Tang Forever b***ches!

Waka came out said what he said, and I respect him for comin jus str8 out with it, but he did also say somethin in the area of ‘niggas with lyrics aint got no shows’…i blame fans for that. Now me, as an emcee, i came up learnin how to rhyme from them 3 niggas in the interview, Warren G, and Pastor Troy. So i got love for everywhere and it shows in my style, but niggas need to have a better appreciation of lyricism and artistry. It’s like niggas cant even draw they pictures no more cause they might confuse or lose simple minded people..and that’s sad. Get ya vision right

    Niggas ain’t mad that the south has it on lock it’s the lack of lyrical content that’s being put out. Gucci and Waka Flocka are pure garbage. Scareface, Bun B, Luda, Devin tha Dude, Mike Jones,Paul Wall, WEEZY, 3’6 Mafia all of those dudes spit and that’s who niggas think of when they think about the south. Truthfully the problem ain’t Gucci and Waka Flocka the problem is most of you listeners are too dumb to realize these dudes are ass. These niggas are the Sasha Vujacic and Luke Walton of the rap game Yea you made the big leagues but truthfully you niggas suck. I’m not mad that they’re gettin money but when it comes to my craft, my art form truthfully money don’t even come into play. People gotta understand that there is more to life than money how about pride, self gratitude the hunger to actually be the best. Truthfully if it was always about money you wouldn’t have Weezy, Slaughterhouse, Wu-tang, Jigga and too many others to name these folks spit cause they love what they do and they got the hunger to be the best. Rappin is my hobby it aint a nigga’s meal ticket.

    Its a shame that you can’t even give a honest critique without being called a “hater”. That’s one big problem with our people right there…NO ONE demands that we do our best, if it makes money, thats good enough. THATS CRAZY! Its just like any athelete that’s not scoring, not playing an elevated game..You say “Bench ‘em” or “Cut ‘em”..Well its the same in Hip Hop. HIGHLY skilled talented artists are seeing wack acts on the same court and are demanding that these losers get their skills up or take a seat. BUT ya’ll ignorant so-called “fans” don’t even have the Pride in the art form to demand the best. And just because an artist is “making money” doesnt justify being on the MIC. Bill Gates makes TONS of money, that doesnt mean we want to hear him RAP. Ya’ll need to understand that making money does not automatically mean you are good at what you do. As far as the “hating on the south”..maaaaan WACK RAPPERS ARE FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE EARTH! There is no region that’s exempt from being criticized. Maybe if (SOME) of these “fans” werent former crack babies or were educated themselves they would have higher standards for what they hear.
