Yes

And the plot thickens

ngl we could use more emphasis on lyrical competition in 2025 man these new rappers are ASS at writing

incredible beats and flows and aesthetics tho

There some good rappers but most of them do need to hone their writing skills

South took over mid 00s and the East lost its way.
West was dormant for a while but always a sleeping giant when Kendrick is around

Ehhh, NY never really embraced NJ or Philly like that unless they're signed to and/or strongly affiliated with NY acts(State Property, Meek Mill, Redman).

A lot of NY rappers grew up or stay in North Jersey this isnt fully true. Jay put Philly on way back when but its time for a reconnection

It’s combination of lyrical rappers that can’t make songs and rappers that can make songs but can’t rap

Their needs to be more a fusion between the two

Not wrong, New York and Philly niggas don't eat cuz they too busy calling eachother d***eaters instead of helping eachother.

New York niggas don't fw Jersey niggas like that in similar way to how Philly niggas don't fw niggas out in the county like that even though they live there

gonna need Jiggatv to chime in

There is some truth to that. NYC has at least a sense of allegiance towards those two. However, NY tends to not truly embrace them fully as they should have
