"you like this shit?" -lovetrain.
After black quarterbacks, the most scrutinized and talked about subject in the barbershop would have to be the evolution of the southern movement in hip hop. Heated debate surface as people against the southern movement believe their lyrics have no substance and are all beat driven records. This may be true in most cases, but I sincerely believe that the southern movement is hip hop, just a different sector. REAL hip hop consists of the Commons, Lupe Fiascos and Nas' that move more bootlegged units than anyone. The club music based hip hop that consists of the Unks, Soulja Boys and TPains all move there units through ringtones. Yes, there music may have kid-like lines and attract more girls to the dance floor than usual but hip hop is in need of something new and refreshing. Can you imagine going to the strip club and Big Booty Judy is dancing to "American Terrorist" or "One Mic"? NO! So the DJ will continue to play the dance oriented tunes, because it makes the club go off and its the best music to listen to when you are drunk. I guarantee if you have enough shots of vodka or tequila you WILL be yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuling by the end of the night. But seriously, the southern movement isn't a trend or bout to die down soon. And thats jus real talk.
NOTE: I don't support all of it. I can only take it in doses. REAL rap will revive one day. Wale & Cool Kids this Fall!

Man the South really has a movement going and being a DJ I get endless requests of Snap, Crank, Crunk, and other variances of Southern Hip Hop. People may say Hip Hop and Rap is dead but it so many sub-genres within Hip Hop and Rap would you call it dead. I mean each region or area has its own thing going so its like you really can't consider it dead despite the lyrical content. Hip Hop is FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
