I dont hate the south at all. There is one problem I have with southern music. To me a lot of it sounds the same. I mean, of course you have rappers out of the ordinary, but to me the format for your average southern song is below average, simple lyrics with a prevailing bass beat and a chorus with the words nigga, fuck, shit, or bitch. All the rappers really talk about is their Ice and their rides and their spinners. Basically, to me, this format is the "ignorent" music that you hear people talking about when they say rap is just noise and has no content.
But then again, thats pretty stereotypical. There are some great groups in the south, Outkast, Nappy Roots, theres Face and Ludacris, Devin the Dude, I even enjoy Lil John and the Eastside Boyz (even though the sound I just described is theirs)! Also, nearly every rapper i hear from Atlanta seems to have their own sound goin on, Im feelin that.
