When Ye knocked the crown off 50’s head in 2007, NYC never recovered.

Yeah i agree with you on that though I’m speaking from a broader regional perspective - a handful of songs from NY that have popped over the last 10-15 years have been unconventional by mainstream standards, and No Clarity is still on trend with the biggest movement in NY right now, whether its as catchy as Bodak / Whoopty / Dior or not

All the new york clubs starting closing

Hiphop police run this s*** m

The label and the media started f***ing with the south more

Fast foward to 2021 another region better takeover because the south is running it to the ground

New york ran this s*** from the 70s-00s

3 things.

1. The internet and pirating music.

2. Cross regional rap collaborations

3. The demise of radio djs and radio in general.

This is what new york new comers gotta go thru

Go thru the slide

Especially 2019 when ny was going crazy and most of the new comers couldn’t even perfrom at the biggest concert of the year in Ny (rolling loud)

!!!!

Same thing happened to Pop Smoke mans couldn’t even perform in his own city

NY rap is in a better place than its been in a decade.

Number wise Lil Tjay and A Boogie are up there or better than Durk and Yb

NYC drill is to the generation of 14 year olds now what Chicago drill was to my generation. Difference is that NYC rappers dont have the same barriers Chief Keef and them had.

XXX died like Pac, Pop Smoke died like Big

If Max B didn't go to jail, he'd be more popping than French Montana.

Nah, his music was basically 50 cent leftover hooks recorded in subpar quality. He was popping in NY only

The South and Pop's death
