Joey is just one, but I can only hope for y'all to make a comeback. I say this as someone from the South.

Y'all got majority of the legends

East Coast, how y'all feeling man? Is there hope or nah?

NY forever the Mecca so it’s good

We need more of that unity

no, we dont.

Yes, we do.

Drill was dominating the city for a while but outside of a few acts like 41 most of them washed out. Cash cobains sound was the wave for last 1-2 years but I’m not sure how much more longevity it has. And the a boogies, lil tjays copycats of the city are left behind.

So yea it’s pretty open.

Cash is okay, but he's not really busting the door open for the East

Pop could've got things back on track for the East, but then madness happened

Idc what y'all say. That classic dusty NY sound will always stay alive to me.

They just need a sound that's funky for lyricists to make bops to.

nah need more pop smoke type energy cutting edge, meshed with that regional ethos, not someone performing a sound that’s been perfected many times over

The return of the Erick Sermon, Rockwilder, Dame Grease, Just Blaze sound esque beats

Please lord

to be clear if you’re from ny you should be able to get on this wavelength as well

Just Blaze needs to come out of Retirement and bless these youngins. I just know there's so many east coast niggas starving for a spot.

NYC got gentrified. New York Nostalgia. is gone

We need something completely new from anywhere

Tired of that sexy drill/cash cobain s***, niggas use that as a easy way out especially washed up rappers because it’s so easy to make

Drill period is ass tho

The east coast need another DMX type of figure. Somebody that is just undeniable.

Ny was better when everybody was different

Griselda/upstate been carrying. I want to hear more artist from the city on conductor type beats

I think Joey might’ve started something

The Conductor beats is a huge step, but we need them to get producers to have funky/pop friendly sound with lyricism, but still sound like East Coast.

Imo, a little hot take, but they had something like that with the "Bling Bling" era with Bad Boy and Puff.

You mean Shiny Suit?

Anything but that imo

That era hurt Hip Hop heavy and if had it not been for the arrival of DMX, that would have been the norm

There has been huge underground culture bubbling for almost a decade. People like to be force fed artists nowadays though. Fans have been eating a ton especially post Covid
