Dirty south

Southern hip-hop, also referred to as dirty south, is a form of American hip-hop music that emerged from a late-1990s club-oriented vibe in southern U.S. cities, including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham, Alabama, New Orleans, Miami, and Baton Rouge. The music was a reaction to the 1980s flow of hip hop culture from New York City and California, and can be considered a third major American hip hop genre, after East Coast hip-hop and West Coast hip-hop.

Overall South >>>> Old East Coast > New West Coast > Old West Coast > Midwest >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> New East Coast. Only like a handful of decent NY rappers in the scene now.

Dirty south music is nothing that special but it's fun [2] I don't think anyone's trying to act like these rappers are making revolutionary masterpieces. Just let people enjoy their music and stop taking shit so seriously.

Jay Electronica: They said down south was wack when it came to rap / That our thoughts was too slow and we couldn't adapt / When in fact / We taught y'all how to build a label from scratch / While you was whining bout the points in your contract black, yup / We slip when we talk / And we dip when we walk / When we came to the game / Niggas stole our slang / Uh huh, we hit the game with a brand new funk / And plus we taught ya how to sling a record out of your trunk / It's dirty south til I die homie / We in the ville where they trill spittin fire homie / You wanna burn in the fire come and try homie / Man look we re-day to ride homie / Down here we fear no man God only

The South Is Awesome, You Closeminded People should all go eat a fat dick for sayin what you say. It's Just Boring When Look At Most Hip Hop Fans Sites. All i see is boring 90's eastcoast charts, everydamn time it's the same ol shit. All Your Elitists Are Bitches. UGK said it best quit hatin the south.

@jhianderg and JonRobson91 Personally, I believe most rap is just terrible (excluding a handful of artists), not because they're rappers, but because most of them have the mental acuity of a sewer rat, and the fans to back them up. Southern rappers are by far the worst in this case. I'm not the kind of person to hate a genre, but when nearly every artist sucks it ruins my views on the genre, modern rap itself does an amazing job at this by turning talentless people such as Lil' Wayne and Drake into superstars, with idiots that eat their "music" right up. I'm most likely going to get flamed by haters, so come at me bro.

yeah well anyone who listens to music solely based on its production is an idiot. your opinion on southern rap is probably based on the mainstream bullshit that comes out of there. i don't see much point in wasting my time with someone who listens to whiney indie pop like band of horses, and best coast. Pull that dildo out your ass, and do a little research before denouncing something you know nothing about.
