Close thread.
Co-sign, Outkast really helped Southern rappers to get big here in New York and the rest of the countryi can’t speak for all of new york obviously, but i’m from ny and when i first heard outkast i was very impressed with their lyrics and started to really dive into southern music more
this was way before wayne
Bruh Joe is talking about artist from NY acknowledging Wayne as a formidable rapper based on their standards. Nothing dumb about the statement he made especially when it comes to calling yourself the best rapper alive. Cam saw how good Wayne could become and showed respect thats it.This was dumb then and it's dumb now
Bars have always mattered
The issue is the South has always had different lanes for what rap sounded like. You had artists that could give you bars then you had artists who could say some shit on a catchy beat whereas east coast rappers kept trying to define rap as one thing. If it don't sound like the way they make rap then it's not rap.
