Am I the only one who is ready to see the end of dirty south?

[thedreampolice]

Man....Solider boy, thats all I am saying.

 

[LouBez]

you are one of the few....and soilder boy might be from atlanta but that doesnt make him a true representation of the dirty south....Remember that term came outta the Dungeon Family.

 

[2GooD Productions]

I dont want to see an end to the dirty souf, I would just like to see more balance.
There is a place for all kinds of hip hop, we shouldnt be bombarded with just one kind, thats when it gets a bit boring and predictable.

 

[tekboi]

How many times are people gonna BITCH about the south because of soulja boy? That's 1 person out of how many southern rappers? We have tons of good rappers from the south, but that doesn't matter to people not from the south, because all they see is soulja boy. Bottom Line: It's not the souths fault.

smh

 

[Shonsteez]

Doesnt Outkast, GoodieMob, & MJG all constitute "Dirty South"?.....If so, my answer is NO.

 

[Fade]

Don't worry, everything will end in 2012.

Couldn't agree more. SB dominates the mainstream & that's where all the hate comes from. No balance at all. Same 10 artists over & over again.

 

[UNORTHODOX]

The south is cool, some of my fav artists are from there. BUT the culture that is portrayed in the mainstream right now does need balance, and honestly EVERYWHERE needs innovation. The south has its good and bad just like the north had its good and bad, just like th west, mid west etc. The mainstream, the artists and the producers ALL need balance and diversity.

Yes I am sick of trap beats and people sucking one style

Right question is, who doesn't like them?

 

[thedreampolice]

I love Dungeon Family, Outkast, GoodieMob

I am sick of really fake sounding drums being dope. I am sick of very little actually music going in to hip-hop, dirty south seems to encourage this.

Outkast on the other hand has some amazing musicians.

Does that make sense?

 

[LouBez]

yeah, no, It doesn't make sense at all....Have you hear Rick Ross last two joints? Familiar with the Justice League at all?

That fake drum shit is a HOUSE influence on hip hop not a Dirty South influence.

 

[thedreampolice]

I love electronic music, its just that so much dirty south is not done properly. It sounds bad!

 

[skidflow]

...only dirty south artist that I feel is LDB......PERIOD!!! and J Electronica!!!

 

[LouBez]

what are some examples that sound bad?

 

[StressWon]

word,,,the South still got ill artists. It's like on the East Coast we got cats like fabolous and fat Joe in the mainstream,,,doesnt make them good. Same could be said for Soldier Boy and the rest of the cornballs from there. Every region has corn.

 

[Relic]

Im actually embracing dirty soufness. But as I live in it I dont have much of a choice, but Im liking what IM doing with it lol.
We got really good talent down here .

 

[Shonsteez]

Almost forgot Organized Noize & The Crooked Lettaz (even tho I think their not together anymore, CL that is)...

That's a great point man.

I've been put off by southern hip hop from the production aspect alone. I've heard well produced southern music, just not in a while. It's like anything though, you want the tight shit you gotta dig for it.

The southern style i'm most familiar with are the double time hi hats and having synth or brass incorporated in some manner. I find it hard to use synths or program hihats in doubletime without quantizing, so the sound can be very gridlocked and robotic rather than organic.

 

[Sucio]

I don't mind the dirty south tracks, anymore....They are what they are..

But as was stated earlier...I would love to hear more balance.....


I would like to hear that on the radio..but radio is very regional...you barely hear anything associated with the NY sound here in FL...

With the emergence of Drake, and the reemergence of Eminem, the sound is changing a little bit...I hope they start a trend to balance out the mainstream....

I think Detox would be awesome for hip-hop in general...But...we all know that it won't come out...so yeah....that's it..

 

[Relic]

Cosign, we need the balance, I dont wann go to NY ever again and hear nothing but sdirty siuf and no underground NY, worst trip of my life.
Dont blame the south blame clear channel.
