The ATL is the only city that has unity through music every other city or region has artist beefing. West coast take note. The West will never unite with all the beef. And i'm from Cali.

Fa sho. I mean that shit is tight right there., and the south runnin shit right now. East coast niggas are so hurt by the fact that they ain't hot right now. The king retired and the new king makes songs for 16yr old kids. I mean they gotta give respect where shit is due. I'm sure they'll be hot again cause everything has ups and downs, but for now stop hating and appreciate the 3rd coast movement. And RIP Mac Dre. My yea area cats now da deal. Nadaamean!!!!

Not to Diss but this been a long time comin...the south has always been overlooked, labeled "booty music", and simple rhymin country boyz. Our time started in 93-94 with Goodie Mob and Outkast and UGK, and Ball & G. Their work ethics passed down to our generation. It's a wrap cause we got that unity and aint trying to let egos and shit stand in the way of the main goal. The young boyz the ones that gettin it 20-25...NY although I love J and Nas, they kinda old...WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE NEXT WAVE OF YOUNG GUNZ OUT OF NY??? who claimin king of ny? Some motherfucker out CT?

A Great Day In Atlanta: T.I., Jeezy, Ludacris, Others Gather For Historic Shoot

ATL's finest come together to re-create famous 1958 'A Great Day in Harlem' photo by Art Kane.

ATLANTA — On Friday, what seemed to be impossible was done. More than 50 members of Atlanta's music community came out to stand together, unified. Literally.Call it "A Great Day in Atlanta."T.I., Ludacris, Bobby Valentino,members of Disturbing Tha Peace, the Ying Yang Twins, T-Mo and Kujo Goodie, TLC's T-Boz, the ladies of Crime Mob, Organized Noize, Killer Mike, Field Mob, Mr. Collipark, Jermaine Dupri, influential music exec Kawan "KP" Prather, DJ Crew the Aphilliates, Bone Crusher, Boys N Da Hood, Young Jeezy and others gathered to recreate the famous 1958 "A Great Day in Harlem" photo by Art Kane.
For the original, Kane assembled close to 60 members of the jazz community in New York's Harlem neighborhood — including Count Basie, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie and Henry "Red" Allen — to pose together. The ATL gathering will be part of the upcoming MTV special "My Block: Atlanta."
"I can't believe they actually got all these people together in one spot," Ludacris said with a smile.
"This is something real big for the city," boasted Young Jeezy, who was standing next to T.I.
"It's a positive thing," legendary producer Rico Wade of Organized Noize said. "It's a blessing that MTV's showing Atlanta love. And it's a blessing that we got the people, we got the talent. It's so many cats that's been holding it down — T-Boz is out here, who I've known since '93 — and then you have guys like T.I. and Jeezy out here, a lot of cats that's keeping it going, too."
"The A-Town sticks together," Boyz N Da Hood member Jody Breeze testified. "It's an honor to be a part of all this. It's another step for us. It's another big move for the A to bring us closer together."
"It's beautiful," agreed Jermaine Dupri, who was holding his bulldog Slash on a Louis Vuitton leash. "I think it's way overdue [for this kind of shoot], but I think it's great that we as a city did everything we could possibly do to get to this point. I look around and I say you can't look at this picture, you gonna have to listen to this picture today."
Throughout the day, you could see the various participants getting reacquainted, pulling each other aside to crack jokes. Even JD's dog Slash got in the mix: He played with Crime Mob's Diamond while Bone Crusher and his family ate in the greenroom.
Young Jeezy was the last to arrive and was greeted by T.I. and Killer Mike.
You can see plenty of behind-the-scenes footage and the actual "A Great Day in Atlanta" photo — which was taken by Amanda Marsalis — December 11 at 4:30 p.m. ET on MTV2.

I hate to say it but yes we on the west are stupid ass wino's. We don't stick together and we involve our gang culture in the music and that has been our biggest mistake. Sadly it will never be unity on the west coast the gang culture dominates the youngstas minds.

Posted by: yourright at November 30, 2005 03:51 PM
Yourright, your so wrong. The real gutter shit is down here. My city, New Orleans aka "the lost city" had the highest murder rate, if we was as big as new york we would have had like 8,000 murders a year. My new adopted home ATL, aint as bad but it aint really no better, its alot more grimy than I thought. Get real, and look at some stats, the highest crime, poverty rates are down south. Not up north. Everybody know NYC aint been shit since since Rudy cleaned shit up years ago. YAll niggas aint foolin nobody. We just know how to get money down here. Yall niggas to obssesed with playin basketball, and freestylin on the corner while we gettin money on the corner. Nigga u want heat, nigga u want drama? If U would have walked your 8 and a half fitted hat size wearin ass thru Gert town, Desire Projects, Magnolia Projects in New Orleans last year this time. ( not right now cuz the NO is no more) or West Atlanta right now and niggas will show your ass some heat. Not no 22, or 38's we play nothing but fully automatic down here ya heard me!!!! Fuc nigga I know the truth, I been up top in Harlem on 7th Ave. and that shit cant hold a candle to any ward in New Orleans or West Atlanta. Real talk baby
17 ward New Orleans representa
now residing in that ZONE 1 West ATL
From Algiers to BAnkhead we still choppin heads off ya heard me!!!!

Yeah,I'm from the South and all that ATL aint no different than no other part of the rap world.Guys are so thirty to get notice that some of the pass media stunts are just shamful Atlanta, the South has its own flavor but its a bunch of liars in every game.Music is universal if only the artist were.

Seems like the south is still doing culture jackin'. will they ever create something orignal for once?
Posted by: The Black Truth at December 7, 2005 10:52 AM
Yous a culture jacka
mad at us, cuz y'all rappers are sad
yous a culture jacka
mad at us, cause your reign is a fad
When i go crusin' throu the south, dog
only thing on my MIND is georgia and menthols,
I'm a fan of hot grits and fish cakes
but niggaz ran up on me,
instead of pistols they struck with mace,
At the waffle house, I'm eatin and getting my dick sucked,
glaring at the crowd,
I'm lookin fo some turkeys to pluck.
brothas pulling out rusty six-shooters
while i'm eating an omlett,
surronded by my six shooters!
I don't understand today
up north they records get no play
and they girlfriends feel the same way.
I know a few thick country girls,
I showed them an i-pod
they thought i showed them the world.
I know south girls like my accent
They call it, uppty, but still gave me head by accident
Speakin of head, bankhead girls give great head.
standing on two hands with legs spread.
I'm fuckin' her like no other
she don't even know i'm sending shots to her brotha
Yous a culture jacka
mad at us, cuz you can't spit
Yous a culture jacka
mad at us, cuz the country calls u shit
Yous a culture jacka
other styles u do more that follow
yous a culture jacka
instead of givin birth , your mother should have swallowed
