From Concrete Jungle to Southern Reign: Tracing the Demise of NY Hip Hop and the Southern Domination in Rap

For over 20+ years, Atlanta and the South have instructed the rap game, yet even now, many will not recognize this obvious reality. It's memorable's vital that during the 00s, individuals excused "ringtone rap" and clutched the conviction that each mixtape rapper from New York City (like Papoose, Saigon, Troy Ave, and so on) would restore New York's unmistakable quality, demonstrating that the South wasn't the embodiment of "genuine hip jump."

The South's domain extended from roughly 2003 to the current day, while New York had its prime from 1973 to 1991 and encountered a resurgence from 1997 to 2002. The West Coast had its prime from 1992 to 1996.

The decay of New York Hip Jump can be credited, to some extent, to Hot 97 and other radio broadcasts that neglected to help neighborhood craftsmen. Nas, for example, was denied of broadcast appointment, which prompted his debates with these stations.


The time of Puff and Terrible Kid additionally added to the downfall. Their accentuation on richness, alongside the in the background torpedoing of individual New York craftsmen, opened the entryway for Southern specialists. This meat debilitated both the East and West Drifts. Andre 3000 arose as an expressive MC who couldn't be addressed, living up to all assumptions. In the interim, Hot 97, with figures like EBRO — a Californian — started decisively programming more Southern and West Coast Hip Jump, slowly destroying New York's situation.

The Fall of New York Hip Bounce picked up speed when Jay Z assumed responsibility at Def Jam. Rather than advancing laid out veterans from NY/NJ like Technique Man, LL Cool J, Redman, and DMX, Jay Z looked for new ability, especially from the South, like Jeezy and T.I. He had the amazing chance to help old neighborhood legends however picked in any case.

NY radio broadcasts quit supporting nearby specialists, and New York craftsmen began mimicking sounds, shoptalk, and societies from different locales. For example, utilizing phrases like "screw 12" to allude to the police — a term starting from Atlanta shoptalk — became normal in New York City. Beforehand, New York set the precedents that different districts followed, yet presently it feels like the jobs have switched. Record marks likewise started pushing specialists from the South and different regions, advancing less complex verses, while New York craftsmen blossomed with lyricism and novel style.

The destruction of New York City Hip Bounce heightened when specialists from New York began taking on Southern styles. The South partaken in a delayed predominance that is as of now disappearing however stays unquestionable. Moreover, the ongoing NY Drill scene started in London, with London makers carrying the sound to Brooklyn. Deplorably, New York lost its unmistakable character and neglected to perceive its own set of experiences. Unseen struggles and an absence of certifiable programming additionally prevented New York City's rap scene. As opposed to embracing their realness, craftsmen in New York City currently endeavor to be some other person or thing.

Jay-Z assumed a part in the downfall too. In "Ordinary a Star Is Conceived," he had the valuable chance to get down on a New York City rapper while teaming up with Jay Cole, however all things considered, that's what he proclaimed assuming Lil Wayne proceeded with his way, he would pass him the light. Greenbacks specialists, including Wayne, were engaging, however their style was viewed as gimmicky, suggestive of Eminem. Another variable that harmed NY Hip Jump was the downfall of its nightlife. Settings started moving costs onto the crowd, disintegrating the dynamic club scene and pushing specialists to construct their own crowds or perform at explicit settings.

While New York City craftsmen were doing combating among themselves, Southern rappers showed solidarity and teamed up to make progress. The South had the music, and it was inevitable before their impact extended. Sadly, New York City comes up short on brought together front and frequently neglects to help others.

New York's decay strengthened when 50 Penny participated in hamburger with all of New York City, taking on a sound impacted by the South under Dr. Dre's direction. He partitioned the city and conflicted with its top craftsmen, with the show eclipsing the actual music. NY rappers spent the mid 2000s and 2010s attempting to surpass one another, while the South overwhelmed with their dominance of creating appealing and important melodies. Jay Z figured out how to support accomplishment during this period since he succeeded in both expressive ability and snare creation. Early adopters like MIMS and Dipset figured out the shift, and French Montana, Bobby Shmurda, as quickly as possible Ferg, and numerous others stuck to this same pattern. Southern creation and oversimplified snares turned into the charm and at last the business standard.

On the off chance that we look at the period before the purported "South takeover," New York's all's greatest hits were club records. Every song of devotion was intended for the club scene. Around 2004/2005, the South started producing club music at a great rate, while New York wasn't creating comparative tracks. Thus, when New York delivered club-arranged music, it was frequently misperceived as Southern. Models incorporate MIMS' "To this end I'm Hot," 50 Penny's "Sweets Shop," and Fat Joe's "Recline."

New York's downfall can be credited to the shortfall of a powerful period. Any semblance of Max B, Chinx, Stacks, Juelz, Uncle Murda, Maino, Shea Davis, Banks, Papoose, J Hood, French, JR Essayist, Mims, Saigon, and Vado were supposed to raise NY Hip Jump higher than ever. Tragically, because of different awful conditions, this didn't emerge. This lost age of NY rap was hanging tight for figures like Jay Z, 50 Penny, and Puff to elevate them, yet they became ensnared in radio governmental issues because of connections and affiliations with specific DJs. A significant number of them saw the rising more youthful craftsmen as rivalry as opposed to possible partners at the center of attention. Also, various specialists from NY during the momentary period attempted to adjust to the new strong and depended vigorously on radio help.

Be that as it may, I need to understand your thought process. What is your perspective on the fall and decline of NY Hip Jump, which prompted the ascent of the South having a fortification on the rap game?

TLDR; The New York infighting/hamburgers, self images and not regarding the ability of the south in those days, as well as the South bringing new craftsmen, design styles and beats to the standard, while New York quit developing and lost their wave when the business sifted and weakened their specific sound, all prompted the downfall and fall of New York Hip Jump and the takeover of the South in the rap game.
