Reply To: Southern Hip Hop

Personally, outside of cats like Outkast (before Stankonia and The WeakerBoxxx / Crap Below), Goodie Mob, and Field M.O.B., I don’t really care for ATL. Hip Hop. ATliens, Aquemini, and Soul Food are classics!
To me, cats like T.I., Ludacris, and Lil’ Jon are making ATL. hip hop rather boring, and quite annoying with those club bangers. Those tunes have made me stay out of the clubs lately.

When it comes to the N-O, I’m feeling the “old” Cash Money when B.G. was riding with them. B.G. is the N-O, to me. Ain’t nobody from Cash Money f’ing with him. He’d squash Lil’ Wayne (who, by the way, has no skills EVEN with his new Jay-Z flow). I’m still feeling Mannie Fresh–he’s one tight producer and hilarious emcee. I like Birdman’s persona and self-esteem. I’m glad Juve’s riding with them, even though his last album was kinda wack. No Limit Records is dead–I realized this after hearing Silk’s new single (waste of valuable and expensive studio time).

Other southern emcees I’m feeling are: Dirty (aka The Dirty Boys) – these boys are OFF THE HOOK! UGK (Bun B and Pimp C) are tight, too. Project Pat has one of the most unique and intriguing flows of all time. Eightball and MJG are classic, but should have never signed with Bad Boy.
