ATL Hip Hop: The Trap Needs To Go

I don’t even know how to begin this article but for the most part let me say that as a devoted fan of this genre, this culture we call hip hop I am really disappointed in the level of baboonery the city of Atlanta has emerged onto the Hip Hop scene and also disappointed in the radio stations that continue to feed this mockery to the masses which not only continues to paint a negative image on us as a race but further strengthens the stereotypes that were made against us for judgment and in order for this culture we call hip hop to survive a few more decades this gibberish nonsense needs to cease and be gone! It serves no purpose, has no message and is highly distorted to the ears of the sensitive. 

Like where has the lyricism and cohesive nature for quality music gone from the ATL? These new “rappers” is a disgrace to the foundation of The Goodie Mob and Outkast who may have also told tales of similar scenarios involving drugs and crime but never was it told in a positive light, you see these guys paved the way for not only ATL but the world to hear their stories and listen to the everyday trials and tribulations they faced coming up living in Atlanta, Georgia and its quite funny how they had difficulties delivering these stories to the listener because of their strong and not so understandable southern accent but in the year 2014 you have males mumbling gibberish over a 808 beat and you swear you know what he’s rapping about lol.

I mean I’m confused, over the past four years I’ve seen a different rapper from Atlanta get some exposure from a popular street record he did, he gets a major record deal, drops his debut album then few months later where is he?? I’ll tell you where he is! He in the one hit wonder section with the rest of the no talent morons that only making an effort to pursue music for the money, not passion or because he has a skill to rap NO! He tryna get paid like the rest of these “rappers” on TV lol. The only emcee I can count for that is straight from the ATL is G.O.O.D music’s very own Cyhi the Prynce, I truly appreciate his effort to keep the lyricism alive from the city and commend him on helping to push the culture forward.  

So acts like Future, Migos, Rich Homie Quan (exception for 2 Chainz because that’s my Dawg lol) and Young Thug are only some of the disappointments of the ATL, now you may find some of their records captivating, you may even say their music is “dope” but really ask yourself what is the message in their music?? What do they stand for? Do they do it for the culture or is it just a money scheme? And also ask yourself if u are not particularly interested in the song content but only just the repetition of the hook and the beat that got your attention for the song and if that is the case all I want most hip hop listeners to do always is have variation in hip hop music cause I can guarantee that only listening to the “I got money and hoes” braggadocious  style of rap will only make you ratchet-minded and definitely lower your IQ lol, so please if you consider yourself a person of intelligence let your music compliment your state of mind and resonate with who you are as a human being and help to eliminate this discriminating factor from the culture and elevate the conscious state of rap to its true supremacy.
