is it though? every Platinum selling artist in rap is signed to a label based in NY. every new artist has to come to NY and prove themselves. Jay, Curtis & Diddy are still the 3 highest earning negros in Hip-Hop. if NY doesn’t run shit, then who?
Kanye’s album will be in a certain direction, I bet. While the beats for Jay will be standard raw Kanye beats. if that makes any sense.

2. YOUR FAVORITE BLOGGER’S NEW FAVORITE BAND
Thanks to the Web 2.0 bubble, it’s now possible for a next-big-thing band to go through the Hootie and the Blowfish career arc in four hours. Yay, Web 2.0! The problem is, the OMG! Best Band Ever! zombie rhythm of blogging doesn’t work for music, where it really does help if you play the song a second time. The hype-backlash cycle has gotten to where the next Black Rainbow Wolf Hunter go from novelty to has-been by the time they’re recording their second song. Meanwhile, hard drives are still stuffed with microhouse remixes that will never be listened to on real speakers. Sad.
Underrated alternative: Your favorite blogger’s last favorite band.
as far as whatever ya’ll were talking about in the last thread, NY still runs everything in rap. The only exception is that Wayne is the highest selling artist on the planet, but other than that, nothing goes down unless NY is involved.
I mean, Baltimore damn sure isn’t running anything. nor is Gucci Mane. but he is signed to a NY label. so somebody in NY is eating off the 20K units he moves everytime out.
