You have people like Asap Rocky and French Montana who clearly sound like southern rappers and aren't that nice to be honest, then you got ? like Joey Badass who makes traditionally sounding NY rap but it sounds dated like he is trying to recapture a time period that's already passed.
So what is the happy medium, is there anyone that still sounds NYish but isn't outdated and is there anyone new and progressive but don't sound like the south.?

Why should we drop our sound? Southern artists been rockin with the same sound for decades, with modifications. Just cuz it ain't selling now, doesn't mean it's outdated. What's gonna happen if Joey blows up, and everyone starts running to that sound? We're the best when we stick to what we know, and innovate at our own pace.

I think folks to worried bout sound. Just drop something dope and worry bout that side ? later on. I'm for a NY'er this might be an issue but i don't live there so i could careless. Just drop something dope. Folks need to sound how they naturally sound in their process of doing music.

The souths production has changed a lot since the 90s. That Beats by the Pound, Jazze Pha, Organize Noize,etc production sounds nothing like what's out now (Runner, Inkredibles, Justice League,etc). -
I never thought I'd see the day when New York rappers fashioned their music after ? South rappers music. Just more proof the DirtySouth is the land of innovators not perpetrators

Crazy how you see NYers and even Jersey heads taking southern slang nowadays. At least the young dudes. -
Just do what u feel like doing. Ppl complain about NY too much. And how do u expect the new generation NOT to be influenced by the South that's what we grew up on sadly.

Regional boundaries have largely been taken away with the use of the internet, social media, etc.

And what makes you think those artists can't? Especially Vinny Cha$e... he seems to have the most commercial appeal if anything. -
