NY cats in here sounding so fxckin bitter, man.
Instead of trying to accept the kid for finally being something refreshing out of your city's STALE & REPETITIVE music scene, yall would rather crucify him cuz he didn't follow the cookie cutter mold.
Look where the NY mold has gotten all your new artists (
which is the only demographic i'm talking about. Don't bring established dudes like Hov & Nas into this). Look at Action Bronson, M'fin eXquire, Maffew Ragazino, Vado, Reek da Villain, Fred the Blobson and the 534843734 other new NY cats. Hell, i'll even go more veteran cats like Red Cafe, French, hell, even Maino. They ONLY bubble in the tri-state. THAT'S IT. If you're the casual hip hop fan that doesn't live on NahRight, you don't even know who half these dudes are cuz they're ALL lumped into the New York Rapper not named Jay & Nas label. That's how everyone that doesn't live in NY sees them, so we (remaining 49 states) don't really give a damn about them
Imo, I don't even get how yall are mad at the kid. NY only has themselves to blame. Rocky's 23(?) at the oldest. In his teens (mid 2000s), The South raped NY radio, hell, all radio. Wayne, Jeezy, Ross, Tip, and co were ALL POPPING in the mid 2000s. Hell, I know Mike Jones' "Still Tippin" was poppin nationwide when I was 16 (im 23). This was how the kid probably got influenced to the southern style. Before Ninja replies with some BS about Biggie & BDP being played on Hot 97 too, I believe only Mister Cee does that (FOR AN HOUR daily), the rest of the DJs played all the popping southern songs. How do you expect the kid not to follow this mold? Take away the top 3-5 hip hop moguls, everyone else is from the south.
Hitting the other side of the argument, I can only laugh at Houston cats like Killa Kyleon getting mad at Rocky. Literally
. Bruh gotta get mad at Drake then, who basically came to his city and instantly became family to J. Prince and his family. Is J. Prince not Houston royalty? Bun B's Trill OG opens with J Prince welcoming Drake to the family.
. Where was Kyleon's backlash then? This guy Bun B has been all on Twitter tweeting about kicking it with the A$AP crew, IS BUN B NOT WORSHIPPED IN HOUSTON/TX?!
This kid is now already gonna be touring with Drake, taking his music nationwide, building a fan base outside the god-forsaken tri-state, something new cats out of NY
NEVER do. I don't think it even matters to the dude if NY or Houston accepts him. He's making music people from LA to Chicago can rock too and thats all that matters. [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]No one's crowning him a star.[/color] People are just enjoying the music for what it is. And the fact that he's from NY just makes it funny.
Cliffs: People from NY & Houston are bitter.
