It’s apparent that Hip-hop definitely isn’t what it used to be, but who is to blame?! New York City gave birth to the genre and now you can’t even find a single New York rapper who’s murdering the charts. Wondering why?! According to Jadakiss, New York rappers are the ones to blame for Hip-hop’s tragic decline. Apparently, egos kept getting bigger which in turn allowed rappers to completely lose sight of what Hip-hop actually meant, thus allowing the South to completely takeover the game. He tells HipHopGame,

“New York took a hit when everybody started getting money. Everybody was doing alright in record sales. Everybody had some success but then the ego started playing a part. From then, nobody wanted to do songs with each other. N*ggas were on some, ‘I’m not f*cking with that n*gga. I’m not doing that!’ That hurt everybody in a whole and everybody stopped dropping albums”.

He adds, “…Wherever, the South, the West came, linked up, and collected that money for certain amount of years. I just feel like this is going to give everybody some sense of inspiration to come. You got coming. You got more North artists that’s gon’ come back. You know Red [Cafe] is doing his thing. Maino is doing his thing. This gon’ give everybody motivation to put music out, so then, nobody has to sit down and complain”.

I completely agree with Jada. New York really fell off the map and it’s time we take the throne back!
