Lmaoooo, Rocky not supposed evolve into no Carti lmao. I love Carti but Rocky not doing shows wailing and screaming looking like a icp stan. Even if you want to mention other Carti eras that was Atlanta/Florida s*** that you had to grow up in to make that type s*** if I’m making sense.

That’s true but on the flip side, everybody has shows or tours that come to NYC. From the underground to West Coast and Southern artists

Powerful post

Testing ? Best album?

Man what!

Thats not what i said or meant. Carti and rocky have very similar career trajectories and Carti has been able to maneuver a lot more successfully because he fed off of Rocky’s mistakes.

For a king of the city I havent seen a single mural/billboard/t shirt/fan in general for 5+ years here lol

Thinly veiled

F*** OP for this thread.

ALL $MILES COMING SOON

u really had to be there to feel that

STOP THE NYU SOANDER KTT DOESNT UNDSRSTAND NY POLITICS

I came for sva’s head too

I want allll the smoke

he just bulls hittin for likes

Nah he right

I live here now & I don’t hear Rocky at all

I mean he truly messed up by not following Testing with anything else right after

They moved to Brooklyn and got the warehouses popping again so I'll give them that. Also Elsewhere is a wavy venue.

pop smoke is proof why there’s no king of nyc

look at what just happened in brooklyn today nigga

look at how that nigga kay flock spazzed out 😭

nyc these days isn’t a home for people to develop and thrive. it’s a hub for creatives to come and create and then become “famous”
mits always had this element, but there used to be more love,appreciation, and space for the native new yorkers who really create her

now nyc is full of gentrifiers who take up all the real estate AND creative space in this city

y’all can keep dissing new york all you want, but watch what happens to chicago, to y’all cities

they gonna let all of our greatest hip hop artists kill each other and the artistic creative vacuum will be filled by gentrifiers

keep dissin nyc and y’all gonna realize it was never that we didn’t have creative talent (y’all show no love to niggas like deem, pasto, kay flock, 22gz) it was always that the dynamics of major cities are changing and there is less and less room for authentic hip hop artists to LIVE and create here

webster hall still opened tho

As much as Rocky's whole initial appeal was his breaking down of regionalism within Hip-Hop, he really was the last frontier for NY rappers

nah NYU is 😷😷😷😷😷😷

i don't blame the natives for that tho

Rocky hardly getting play in NY is more of an indictment of how trash NY radio has become really. No reason for Tony Tone and Buck Shots to not get any play. Praise the Lord is the only track you could've potentially heard on the radio and even that was rare. Which is wild cause DJs play that at concerts and shows around here to warm the crowd up and they go up every time.

A track like Sundress is also perfect for the radio, but it's kinda hard to fit that into rap/hip-hop radio like Hot 97 and Power 105.1 for obvious reasons. Great track but the audience that still listens to rap radio probably wouldn't mess with it.

bro trust me nyu is basura we literally take up so much important real estate

it’s so weird being here bc i grew up poor to lower middle class and being in nyu under scholarship is so humiliating for me

the kids here are terrible ,, classist, and racist

i use ktt a lot to get out my frustration it’s very isolating

yea whoever is running the radio F***ING SUCKS and i don’t get why

you guys also say there is no nyc rapper but y’all forget how many rappers come here to produce, to collab, to get inspired, to start their careers here for some time

Perma OP at this point
