Peep this QD3 production, which is a documentary about New York's finest explaining why the Empire State "reigns supreme in the rap game." Looks interesting:
Peep the entire trailer on QD3.com.
Let’s ignore the ignorant notion that New York has lost; we’re the starters of hip-hop, and held it a mile high for two decades, house countless legendary lyricists, and still do our thing regardless. These pop music ringtone rappers constantly bagging number one hits on the charts and FLOPPING the first week is more of a loss than any loss that ever lost for the sake of losing.
Why don't you all just kill yourselves and make it easier on the record labels.

This two-second vid doesn’t really serve much purpose; really just to prove that Cam is still alive. Because last time I heard, he was standing by his pool calling Curtis a d*ckhead, and saying that it was going to be a “real mothaf*ckin hot summer," and that he'd be out "June f*ckin first." It's the middle of July, and Cam has just hit the scene for the first time in a long time. Nobody really even knew he was out and about. And based to the vid, which was supposedly shot at Club Duvet, there are no Dips anywhere in sight. What’s really good my dude?
People from the south do more numbers than ny now. So yall held it for as long as yall could until the south snatched it out cha handz. But now itz over so be easy
Nothing like a hot cup of hate in the morning. I don't have a problem with the South getting their shine. I love black people everywhere. My problem is the labels just aren't putting out much of anything else. Yall need to start a movement. If you see a bootlegger on the street beat his ass down. They are the ones that put NY music out of business and if you buy from the bootleggers you played a part to. I told that to my friend years ago. He would get the track list of an artist and download every single song. I warned him that if people kept doing that then their favorate artist wouldn't be able allowed to keep making music because the label gotta get they money too. He didn't believe me, but here it is.
Personally, I don't think bootleg hurts the game as much as people claim. The people who buy bootleg for the most part weren't going to shell out top dollar for the product anyway. Then again some people buy bootleg to make sure the album is tight and then go on to buy the real thing. Furthermore, 85% of music consumers are not from the "hood." Whenever an artists goes past 2x platinum his appeal crossed over. I think the bulk of the music buying public simply are losing interest in hip hop. Where's Eminem when you need him? LOL!
More than anything the problem is saturation. There are too many artists in the game talking about the same shit. Doesn't matter if it's positive or negative it's all been done before and done to the max. Rap ran out of fresh creative ideas early and then gimmicks came into play. Now those gimmicks, like criminal history, beef, etc., are played out too. Death doesn't even sell anymore.
Maybe the problem is the music has run its course. Nothing lasts forever.
Ayo Reckless, fuck the south and everything b, cause they some ringtone, no backpack wearin niggaz. them niggaz be saleing more cds than us dun, but they don't know how to chicken noodle soup, word to my pops b. i buy my cds from that African nigga on 159th and S, and then i freestyle battle him for a second cd for free b.

i been saying the same thing bootlegging got nothing to do with the lack of sales.
@bird
lets be real your older then a lotta us so you have a wide range of eras to base on, so let me ask you this remember when people dubbed your tapes, or when there was only tapes and you can go to any african and cop a bootleg tape, then CDs started poppin and heads brought the bootlegg CDs.
why i said that? that was BEFORE 2000 when artist was shippin' platinum. plus the companies take a percentage of that loss just like retailers do for shop lifters.
the only thing i cant get with that argument is if 80% (roughly) of white suburban kids buy rap music then how is the kids who buy bootlegg (mostly in the hood) hurting album sales?

Bootleggin been around for ever. North, South, East, West!! I don't think it hurts record sales, but I think downloading does. In the burbs, where white kids buy a bulk of the music, it's hard to find a bootlegger (even tho' there are some in the burbs too) Almost every household owns a computer which means more people have access to file sharing vs buying bootlegs. And remember you have to pay for bootlegs, downloading is FREE!

I never bought a bootleg tape when I was younger. I always wanted the real cover with the pics and thanks and credits. There was a time before I was old enough to work that I would record a song off of the radio, but never a whole album. I have owned music that I purchased since I was 13. Rap is OUR music and the fact that everyone admits more white kids purchase it speaks volumes. Its not that the black kids are not listening to its just that they want 3 CDs for $15 instead of one CD. We can support our artist and shouldn't have to rely on white kids to like OUR stuff.

"Maybe it's time 4 everything 2 start over & get back 2 the essence of the culture."
The problem with that theory is this is just a different time and the people have a different mindstate. Hip Hop's glory years were 86 thru 96 in my humble opinion. After 96 everyone OD'd on gangster music. It was there before that but the balance disappeared after Pac's death. The fans and industry became obsessed with the dark side. Now we have an entire generation of rap fans who know nothing else. People try to go back to the essence but fail miserably. Hip Hop is not really a culture anymore but it's definitely a BUSINESS. If shit don't sell the labels won't push it. The people cast their vote with every dollar spent and we know what the people want. What they want is a reflection of who they are or aspire to be in some capacity. When reading hip hop blogs I get the impression that most people are in high school or should be from what they deem important in the genre. I think it's too late to revert back to anything. Rap is now a runaway train and its running out of track fast.
Last fall in Jena, Louisiana, the day after two Black high school students sat beneath the "white tree" on their campus, nooses were hung from the tree. When the superintendent dismissed the nooses as a "prank," more Black students sat under the tree in protest. The District Attorney then came to the school accompanied by the town's police and demanded that the students end their protest, telling them, "I can be your best friend or your worst enemy... I can take away your lives with a stroke of my pen."1
A series of white-on-black incidents of violence followed, and the DA did nothing. But when a white student was beaten up in a schoolyard fight, the DA responded by charging six black students with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
It's a story that reads like one from the Jim Crow era, when judges, lawyers and all-white juries used the justice system to keep blacks in "their place"--but it's happening today. The families of these young men are fighting back, but the odds are stacked against them. Together, we can make sure their story is told, that this becomes an issue for the Governor of Louisiana, and that justice is provided for the Jena 6. It starts now. Please add your voice:
http://www.colorofchange.org/jena/?id=2077-178754
The noose-hanging incident and the DA's visit to the school set the stage for everything that followed. Racial tension escalated over the next couple of months, and on November 30, the main academic building of Jena High School was burned down in an unsolved fire. Later the same weekend, a black student was beaten up by white students at a party. The next day, black students at a convenience store were threatened by a young white man with a shotgun. They wrestled the gun from him and ran away. While no charges were filed against the white man, the students were arrested for the theft of the gun.2
That Monday at school, a white student, who had been a vocal supporter of the students who hung the nooses, taunted the black student who was beaten up at the off-campus party and allegedly called several black students "nigger." After lunch, he was knocked down, punched and kicked by black students. He was taken to the hospital but was released and was well enough to go to a social event that evening.3
Six Black Jena High students, Robert Bailey (17), Theo Shaw (17), Carwin Jones (18), Bryant Purvis (17), Mychal Bell (16) and an unidentified minor, were expelled from school, arrested and charged with second-degree attempted murder. Bail was set so high -- between $70,000 and $138,000 -- that the boys were left in prison for months as families went deep into debt to release them.4
The first trial ended last month, and Mychal Bell, who has been in prison since December, was convicted of aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery (both felonies) by an all-white jury in a trial where his public defender called no witnesses. During his trial, Mychal's parents were ordered not to speak to the media and the court prohibited protests from taking place near the courtroom or where the judge could see them.
Mychal is scheduled to be sentenced on July 31st, and could go to jail for 22 years.5 Theo Shaw's trial is next. He will finally make bail this week.
The Jena Six are lucky to have parents and loved ones who are fighting tooth and nail to free them. They have been threatened but they are standing strong. We know that if the families have to go it alone, their sons will be a long time coming home. They will lose precious years to Jena's outrageous attempt to maintain a racist status quo. But if we act now, we can make a difference.
Please add your voice to the voices of these families in Jena, and help bring Mychal, Theo, Robert, Carwin, and Bryant home. By clicking below, you can demand that Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco get involved to make sure that justice is served for Mychal Bell, and that DA Reed Walters drop the charges against the 5 boys who have not yet gone to trial.

Posted by: Nimrod at July 18, 2007 7:30 AM
I can feel that but I have to say that one of the biggest reasons is the lack of creativity and originality in todays artist. The only people I find being lyrically creative is the "positive" artists. Lupe for example, his first single was "Kick, Push" that was about skateboarding, point is he didn't have to come out talking about what everyone else is talking about but in a different way(cars, clothes, money, girls and weed). Not everybody sold packs, moved weight, was a pimp, a runner, or a shooter. Probably never seen a gun up close til they had to hire protection from gettin stuck up. My thing with artists is be your damn self cuz when you get exposed that facade will be the end of your career and end up making the 2000's version of "where are they now?"

I took the PZ route. That includes the whole Tranny situation 2
What I'm about to say is towards the NY Rap Industry, not the city or the people, or fans:
New York dominates nothing.
Those days are over forever. 1988 is history.
Too many other regions are getting shine, and the hater-run NY rap media can't control what's hot. The only people screaming "NY runs hip-hop" are frustrated 30-year old subway cypher open-mic stans mad because nobody wants to hear them spit 88 bars over the "Shook Ones' beat.
Until NY stops beefing with each other and stops making prison time a symbol of hip-hop credibility, you'll never get anywhere.

Your always claiming that niggas from NYC is always hating on the south. But it never fails that everytime I come on the SOHH Blog your bitch ass is always making comments about New York, even when topic is not even about the south.
You must be a fan of NYC hip hop, because your always on our dicks. You don't see us coming to the ATL blog to talk shit but soon as I come into the NYC blog it's always hate coming from the South!!
I swear they must be paying good money these for niggaz to hate.
Nimrod
I hope you are wrong. 30 years ago hip hop was considered a fad and it certainly was that for a while hence several "middle era" artists getting rich. The veterans put out several good songs and didn't achieve wealth because the big labels didn't start investing in them until they realized it wasn't going away. Now you got guys getting rich off of a song or two. That bubble has burst, but it doesn't mean rap can't level out. No everyone can't go platinum and that is ok. Maybe now R&B can make a come back now that there aren't 50 rap artists dominating radio. I don't expect the whole genre to die.

@ Triple OG Stan (perfect name).....
I have no beef with NYC or rappers from there, what I hate is the backpackers and stans who hate on anything not from NY. That and it seems like NY rappers spend more time beefing on each other and going to jail than making tracks.
When the West Coast blew up, the magazine stans were the same way. I remember when the Source hated on anything not from 5 boroughs. That closed mindedness is what left ny in the dust.
Another thing, I know a lot of cats from NY and the ultimate goal for all of them is getting a deal. Signing a major deal is like putting a chain on your leg and volunteering to work in a cotton field. How many poverty stories have we seen? Down South and out West you got dudes independent with more cake than some platinum major signed dudes. Check out the Bay.

I actually agree with Reckless' daily haterism today. If NYC gets over this beef shit, thats it. I mean damn, maybe if Jimmy really was the boss of Dipset, we could see some G-Unit colabs? If you think about it, because I've been watchin alot of VH1 Soul lately cause they play alot of the older 90's hiphop. When we reigned supreme, everyone was colabin. I saw Mobb Deep in a Nas video last night, we Had Lil Kim & Mobb, BIG & Busta n Craig Mack in a video, songs with BIG & Method Man and Wu-Tang colabs. Since 50 came now its all about the number one spot and hate thats it. Its to the point where the gimmicky fuckers are leavin the city to goto miami, lol. NYC needs this, they need to get over themselves and realize something the fuckin colonial americans figured out a long time ago, united we stand, divided we fall. Real Talk.
Cam is a joke. Dude has no jewels on, theres like what one chick in sight, shes fat and then like 30 random peeps? I mean, 40 Cal? WTF.
Jimmy now has all the hitmakers on his side, Jimmy, Juelz, and Max B are the new dipset. Personally, Id actually like to see that, because Cam is really killin them right now.

That explains alot. For the life of me, I don't know how ppl get into his music, i.e. how he has fans. His production is straight but lyrics prove he has a 1st grade writing level. Bunch of nursery rhymes and repetition.
@ Nimrod, I think a musical revolution is in order. Leave hip hop to the wannabe thugs and ho's, and raise a new breed of music artists. With so much blending of rap, rock and pop (see Timbaland), a new music genre is possible.
Reckless, the south is not the problem. The problem is ppl trying to co-sign the next best thing. Remember ppl thought Fabolous was gonna be the next Jay and now it's Lil Wayne. Another year or two, stans will be praising another mediocre rapper w/ mass appeal.

NOLA Police Shots Man In The Back During Katrina Chaos
Posted July 18, 2007 – An autopsy report seems to contradict New Orleans Police account that self-defense was the reason they shot a man to death during the Katrina chaos.
According to the autopsy report obtained by CNN, 45-year-old Danny Brumfield died on Sept. 2, 2005, as a result of a bullet fired by New Orleans cops which pierced his back. The network reports that Brumfield was standing in front of a police cruiser that was parked in front of the New Orleans Convention Center, and when the smoke settled, Brumfield lay dead on top of the car with a pair of scissors in his hand.
Police officers insist that Brumfield approached the cruiser flashing a weapon and then jumped on the hood of their patrol car. No one disputes that police shot and killed Brumfield, but disagreements remain about whether they were justified in taking his life.
On Tuesday afternoon, District Attorney Eddie Jordan closed out any criminal investigation, telling CNN that the shooting was deemed a justifiable homicide.
“Brumfield was hit in the back of the left shoulder by a single shotgun blast that entered his body in a ‘back-to-front’ trajectory with ‘little deviation from top-to-bottom,†CNN reported.
Robert Jenkins, an attorney for Brumfield’s family, said the official police report sounds a little shaky. Police say the officer in the passenger seat of the cruiser fired when Brumfield, who lay atop the car, stabbed at the officer through the side window.
"It almost means he [the police officer] was standing right behind him when he fired," Jenkins, who had not seen the autopsy before, told CNN. "How can he be in the car and shoot somebody in the back?"
The district attorney said the only question raised by the autopsy is "how Mr. Brumfield was shot in the back" and speculated that the victim might have been falling off the patrol car at the time.
"I don't believe that autopsy alone is sufficient to create a situation where we would be able to carry our burden of proof," Jordan said. Brumfield’s family is suing the New Orleans Police.
why is it necessary for ny bloggers to remind everyone that hip-hop started in ny and disrespect the south in every blog? We know were it started. it looks like ny'ers have hurt feelings and low self-esteem so they have to make themselves feel important.
