The South Messed It Up

[TyphoonThaReapa]

A'yo, how many poeple besides me think that the south messed up the Rap game. I mean, there are so many Hip Hop artist from the south that suck. Now, I'm from the south and I would rather listen to a Hip Hop artist from the mid-west or east. But don't get me wrong. Not all the Hip Hop artist from the south sick. Just most of them that get too much credit. Now the south has some of the best beats for songs in the entire U.S. But their lyrics suck. What do you guys think?

The South has messed up a lot of important things, which is a category the grating form of music known as rap does not fall into. The 2000 election is a good example.

why do you have to bring up politics? And anyone who honestly thinks Gore or Kerry would have made a good president... I laugh in your general direction.

The south hasn't messed up much, and it's typically only northern people who don't want to leave the north that believe that.

I consider Hip Hop and Rap to be two totally different things. As far as the difference between southern rap and others, I don't really have an opinion because I'm not that involved with it. Personally, I don't think that the area you're from should really have that much effect on your music. Nobody ruined anything; it's just different in ways. That's just my piece.

I can enjoy a lot of hip hop, but rapping ruins it :(. Only exception would be if they're funny. I can't stand rappers rapping about how hard a life they've had, or how much bling and hoes they have.

This is like my favorite type of rap. It's like a musical biography, and it makes you think that what you're going through e.g. too much homework, has nothing to do with what they have gone through.

I agree with you about the fact that Hip Hop and Rap is two different things. However, no matter where your from in ether catogory, your words have a major impact on the catogory itself. The south has messed up lot lot of both Hip Hop and exspecially Rap with just their lyrics.

Actually, when you say you can't stand when they talk about how hard life is and how much bling and hoes they got, your really talking about Hip Hop. Not Rap. However, I can't hold that against you because there is a thin line between the two. Listen to some 2pac (Unedited) and some old Bone Thugs -N- Harmony and you'll get a better prespective of what Rap is and how it compares to Hip Hop.

I can't really get with you on that one. Hip Hop and Rap are different music types. The lyrics aren't going to change the music type. Both Hip Hop and Rap can have those kinds of lyrics.

You'll have to give me some examples of how "the south" is messing up Rap with their lyrics. Like I said, I'm not big into details of Rap artists.

[Mirage]

You can rap to many kinds of music, or no music at all :p. I regard rapping as a style of talking/singing, then "hip hop" as the kind of music usually used by most rappers.

[oddler]

Well, now that I look into it, Hip Hop and Rap are synonymous in instances. There is rap music and there is hip hop culture.

Alright then, For one thing, the lyric of the south are too simple. Have you ever heard a song By Paul Wall? Young Geezy? Lil Wayne? The Six Mafia? Them Franchise Boyz? T.I.? They all suck in most of their songs. Second of all, they say the same things in there songs over and over again. Thrid of all, most of them don't even write their own lyrics. You see what I'm saying?

First of all, whether they suck or not is an opinion. Secondly, most songs say the same thing over and over again. Maybe not most rap songs, but most songs in general. Thirdly, lots of artists don't write their own lyrics, and I guarantee it's not every southern rap artist that doesn't write their own lyrics, just a handful you choose to point out.
