Kay Slay says the South's reign is 'over'

[BigCol]

They're are good rappers, everywhere. Period. The east coast are just jealous as hell.

[fasman]

Speaking from neutral terms:

Dnt really understand what Kay Slays talkin about!!

How are South finished, this year was a good year for the south and there were sum real nice albums!!!

dnt really giv a **** what side had the best albums so long the material is nice!!!!

[res]

we all know(before the south was on top) that the stereotype of hiphop was talking about shooting,guns and bitches.started by e.coast and continued with the e.coast now that the south is talkin about happy things,it aint hiphop. i admit the drugs they talk about should be takin out.

i mean though do i have to say im going to kill a mother ****er on cd? no.

East Coast rap was originally about partying, battling and social consciousness; it was the West Coast not the East that introduced gangsta Rap. Some East coast rappers even criticized the West coast rappers. Eventually, just like the South did afterward, the east Coast jumped on the gangster bandwagon when they saw it was making the West Coast so much money. Afterward People like Nas tried to put the gangsta thing in it's right perspective (in a traditional east Coast social consciousness perspective) but he was eclipsed by others.

hey smokin is hiphop is dead cd a platinum cd?? in all seriousness

It debuted at number one and has sold almost 500,000 to date. Its not about the numbers though. I think T.I. was the highest selling rap album of the year. Jay-Z will probably have the most sales this year. He promoted the hell out of that though.

First and foremost everybody must know that I got love for the South. Before they was poppin', I had Three-Six Mafia on my first single. That was on my album 3 years ago before they blew up. I have always supported T.I. since day one. Eightball and Ludacris, etc. have got love shown. But a fact is a fact, everybody down there ain't lyricists. Some *****z make good music, some of them are Hip-Hop. Three-Six Mafia is Hip-Hop. UGK is Hip-Hop. Scarface, Ludacris, Eightball & MJG is Hip-Hop. There is a lot more and please don't say I'm dissin' you if I didn't mention your name

Kay Slay aint ******..if he say the wrong name his tapes will be history...Kinda like Dj Magic Mike

i knew i should have corrected it. i meant to say started by the east and continued by the west. and they were talkin about guns and stuff like that(new wise) before the w.coast was big. I used to hear that **** on my t.v

Rappers from the south get a lot of hate because their music has very low substance. Other than club songs, other form of songs are rarely or if not produced. Their lyrical content is very weak and doesnt really produce any social conscious music. When Nas released "hip hop is dead" why was it that the south got mad first? Nas never mentioned the south or any region when he released that title. In a way, its like admitting that they knew that they were killing the art.

I don't think that the south is killing hip hop. More recently there have always been wack artists that sell. They come from everywhere not just the south. It just so happens to be the sound that mainstream likes at the moment. If New York comes back there will just be a plethora of wack emcees that come along trying to use the same formula. Remember it is not the region that is killing hip hop it is the mainstream that loves to flood the air waves with the same ****.
