Co-Sign

that's word fam...speech is definitely one of those south brothaz I love and respect in hip-hop mann, he's real..

true true true

Someone needs to flood the Internet, Radio, and TV with this interview. Southern Flip Flop has truly brought Americans (especially Af. Americans) down a few notches in terms of taste in music. The majority of the music has no depth and relies on chanting jibberish throughout the entirety of the song. Also, might I add the production is usually terrible. I don't even classify it as Hip Hop. It has morphed into something of a class of its own. Hip Hop is Art. Waka Flaka Flame is not Hip Hop.

The south didnt kill hip hop because what they doing isnt hip hop.

@HipHop226 PREACH ON BROTHER. THIS NEW SOUTHERN RAP IS NOT HIP HOP. THE SOUTHERN RAPPERS IN EARLY & MID 90'S WAS ALOT BETTER

Hiphop is party songs to that's how hiphop stared out or have u forgotten that we need tha party songs hiphop was created from the youth and if your ova 27 i feel u need to start with tha old school shit hiphop is for the youth please say song Internet thug shit to me cause I love that

hip hop is not the only form of music thats dead. i here country and rock singers saying the same shit we saying about hip hop. think about it. when was the last time you seen a real rock group? or a real country singer that wasnt like taylor swift thats really a pop artist?

2010 lil wayne,soulja boy, plies etc...southern rap has not only destroyed rap but it has destroyed black people mind. I call southern rap black face music or bojangles music

@HipHop226 wat i'm doing is hip-hop and i'm from the south. check me out and comment

@killervjh That was nice. I can tell you like Eminem.

oh man i haven't listened to Arrested Development in years let me get some of their shit on my ipod. anyways for every 1 good south rapper you have 10 completely trash ones.

@HipHop226 yea i do. and thanks

tha south cant get a bad rap cuz of solja boy thats fucked up we still got zro trae bun b chamill

@raptorkiller2k5 Agreed.

This is what all hip-hop should be. Hip-hop with real instruments. It's fucking awesome, man.

Newyork rappers yall done fell off! yall don't have it no more.So I keep it southern punks!

music has gone down the drain due to these clowns the record companies promoting

who killed hip hop is the ones who rap about money hoes and jewely and for the record rappers from west to north to east and down south do this so the means everyside did their part in killing rap stop blaming a coast/side punks

@madefrom9 Thats real Talk yo!! I totally agree with your post.

@madrecka Thanks bro. I wish it wasn't but unfortunately it is. Peace.

@1xoirc wtf????

@heartboy86 Thats right,Newyork rappers are not hot no more.TRUE or False?

@1xoirc lmao so jay z,busta,nas,freeway,beanie segal,fab, true or false,alot garbage has came out of the south lately right.like they guy mentioned earlier some of the south stuff isnt hip hop...

@1xoirc also joe budden,immortal tech,jadakiss,so i'm trying to figure out how did it fall out,let alone the underground because mainstrem is full of shit,and that's when "southern' rap got really famous,outkast and scareface are among the best from the south but the south has produced some horrible rappers

@heartboy86You going back in the 90's early 2000's man.And yes I agree that music has changed.Southern rap is not what it was when "Goodiemob","Outkast"were doing feel good music.Newyork hip hop was king back in the days.Was,past tense but now its quiet.

@1xoirc how? all of them are still active in the game,the north has and still are producing the best rappers period,whether its underground or mainstrem,im not the biggest of jay z fan but the boy is still doing his thing.

@heartboy86 Yes,I agree the South has some lame rappers.But its whats getting airplay.You can have your say on what you feel.But they can care less.The South took over.

@1xoirc lol south took over what??? im sorry bro but the south didnt take over NOTHING,if anything the midwest is the hottest right now with tech nine,kayne,em,royce 5'9,lupe,common,kid cudi,the south got some play no lie but take over???naw

@heartboy86 EM,Royce??are those artist getting any attention?Who really talks about those people?Idk maybe because I dont listen to their music.Yes artist from the south made an impact.

The south did not destroy hip hop. Jealousy did. First the ny came out.(bronx created) then the east coast came out... Then the west coast came out (with their own style) and west coast rappers stared going platinum. Then came the ny haters. Then ny stared going platinum, then west stared hating. Then while they stared hating the south emerged.

See I like east coast style, the westcoast style, and the dirty south style it's all good to me. The only thing I dont like about commerical rap (nonhiphop) music is that there is little to NO variety.(every song you hear sounds the same.)

Congratulations Speech on accepting Christ in your life! btw.. We need AD to tie up loose ends and drop a new jewel! Don't worry about people comparing the hiphop you bring to the game with these new cats. The best emcees never dumb down their lyrics or "image" for no-one.

" hip hop is dead "- Nas so true

fuck nas sit old ass down

Always loved Arrested Development...don't get their props due to how they are viewed in hip hop circles...Speech's verse on "Fishin 4 Religion" is one of my all time favorites
