recently i copped a whole bunch of polos (polo brand obviously)

with some dark denim jeans and some dunks shit just feels right in the summer here in the chi

yes i know polos been around for forever and are almost played out status but some of the colorways are dope, i just copped a dark heather gray polo with the small blue polo man on it, shit just feels crispy

also copped the light blue jawn with the pink polo man on it, same shit, just clean for the summa

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

co-sign on the rl polos having some fresh colorways. I fuck with them heavy, as well as the lacoste joints.I Personally i don’t think them things will ever be played out status cause with a polo theres that right balance between casual and somewhat formal. Like shit ain’t a tee, but its not a shirt either. Besides they got the polo shirts and tees, in addition to a whole bunch of other shit on the Raulph lauren online store. The shirts run like $50-65 on sale for some official joints. Theres always some sales going on at raulphlauren.com.

I still got with some lrg, 10 deep, similar type shit sometimes when i’m just kicking back or going someplace i couldn’t care less about.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ATL has the worse garbage rapper to good rapper ratio though. Like im saying, for every good rapper in the ATL there are 15 other garbage ass rappers. You can’t be on top of the rap game with numbers like that. Pus the majority of they music is cookie cutter shit. They following the exact same style, flow, subject matter and beat choices. Basically the same blueprint. The majority of atl beats sound the same. When comparing all other cities when they were on top of their rap game the ATL has the lowest bar out of all of them.

__________________________________________________________

True New York will always have the greatest Run in Hip-hop history cause it’s their baby……But Music moves and travels….what is happening in Hip-hop is nothing new….

New York is only famous for one Genre of music and that’s Rap (for blacks)….Back in the day, if you were a blues artist from New York…..You were looked upon like a shawty Lo…..The Real Jazz men were from New Orleans…and a New York Nigga didn’t know nothing about Jazz…..

So now the cycle has turned….a Southern nigga doesnt know anything about Rap, cause according to New York, it’s their child and their music exclusively…..But Now the music has traveled….Just like in the Blues…the music travled to memphis in Chicago….

Learn your history this is nothing new…

what are you measuring how garbage a rapper is?….and New York makes cookie cutter shit too and Errbody sounds the same….but Perhaps you like that music better…..

And plenty of people would say that the music in New York all sounds the same, and you can’t even move or groove to it….People want to get loose and dance…..That’s why ATL is on top right now, the music got too serious and it reached its limits….

Niggas in New York all have the same flow and beat choices too…it’s just a matter of perspective…..People have diffrent reasons for listening to music…..

Some People like to have all the music they listen too to be danceable and could be played in the club, some others prefer that no music is danceable and not be made for the club….

Nah, I’m not a New York Hater…..New York is definitely the best city to live in, but its declining as far as the whole culture of blacks…..It’s just things are turning back to the south…but in a few decades it prolly will return to New York…..

I’m just calling like I see it….Hip-hop in New York is basically Dead…It got stale and music never stays in one place, so it was inevitable that this was going to happen

i like how it’s not even a discussion that chicago is running shit right now

*proud*

let’s let NY and the south fight for that #2 spot like anyone gives a fuck

let me put my 2 cents in though: jeezy alone sold more than like the last 20 NY cats to drop an album, and his shit wasn’t no fluff, neither. shit was fire. add to that the weezy factor and the TI factor and the rawsssss factor and the khaled factor etc. etc. and i think NY is chillin at the #3 spot right now, maybe tied with L.A., at least till detox/LAX/all the other cali albums come out (those are dropping in nevruary last i heard)

Don’t just blame the south, now. As I recall a certain group of Harlemites had their share in flooding the game with that same formula.

lyrics is not a small part in judging who is good, and thats for any genre

if that was the case instrumental albums would be going triple platinum
______________________________________________________________

When I mention Lyrics, I’m talking about the usage of poly syllabic words….Hip-hop had an infatuation with it, which caused its demised, because it focused so heavily on that, that it forgot how to be musical…..

Meaning and content is what you judge an artist on, and how eloquently they say it….New York became so focused on saying a useless dictionary word, that the subject and content didnt matter……Like a rapper could talk about drugs and murder and weed but if he said a verse that had 5 multi syllabic words….it was all of a sudden he was hot….i.e. Canibus….Canibus knows nothing about music, all he knows how to do is formulate words together, but its not music, its just words….

Nas had flow and was artistic with his Flow….He had incredible timing and had an ear for music and knew how to rhyme….His lyrics was just an added element….

Jay-z Flow….Lyrics was an added element….

Big….Hot flow and voice..His rhyme style was impeccable…He never fell off beat with his flow, and he always paused at the rhyme time with that staccato flow………Lyrics was an added element

Pac….Hot flow and deep voice….He had a bullet style flow…..His content and Meaning to his rhymes is the greatest out of anyone…..Didnt use multi syllabic words cause he catered to the common man….But his lyrics were great…..

Nah the south didnt do that.

I remember people were sayin the same shit when the West was on top of the game…

Even Wu said in a interview “They aint really MCs. They got the kids calling women bitches & hoes. They’re all about instrumentation, not rhymes…They cant really rap”

Yada Yada Yada. Every region has their niche in the game. Obviously there was a void that Southern artists started filling. Its not like everyone outside of the South hates them

All the south did was bring fun back into the music. People act like Hip-Hop didnt start in the dancehall

^I’m not confirming or disagreeing, but that wasn’t the initial point of my statement. Boosie used Crakk’s quote about Pap being trash and then said Crakk couldn’t see Wayne. And since I’m a bonafide Wayne hater, then I had to drop my two Abe Lincolns.
