Atlanta is the MECCA of hip hop!!?

[Chi Snow]

so folks still trying deny Atlanta is the Mecca...lol even if you love other states music better those rappers in that state come to Atlanta to get their shit pushed.

This.



A 'mecca' is also a place where people travel to for greater knowledge

People come here to try and get on period.

Niggas aren't flocking to NY to get on anymore

A lot of y'all won't be able to see past your feelings though

Didn't the original boom bap beat come outta James Brown's music?

Was he from NY? Lol

No it ain't b

Mecca, or Makkah, is the birthplace of Muhammed.

You go on the pilgrimage to get closer to Allah, so that he can hear your prayers more clearly. You go to walk the ways of Muhammed, to follow his path of enlightenment, to witness what he witnessed in order to write the Quran.

You telling me nigga's going to ATL to be closer to hip hop?

Stop it b.

You trying to argue ATL is hotter than NYC which again, has nothing to do with it being the MECCA of hiphop.

You follow the white rabbit down the hole of hip hop and you gonna end up in one place. South Bronx at a party thrown by Kool Herc. MECCA

That shit ain't gonna stop in ATL cause Young Thug and Future popping right now

 

[TheGOAT]

Alot of bullshit coming out of ATL the past 10yrs

"yall niggas faggots & your reputation shitty, the new san francisco is the old chocolate city" -pimp c

Thats DC, not ATL

Both have been refered to as chocolate city due to black population

Pimp was not talkin about DC

The ignorance in this thread and not letting go issues is serious in here. Since 2000 Atlanta has had a choke hold on the music industry even if ATL artist are not better then ____ artist. Respect it and let go.

I agree with the bolded but, did hip hop start in 2000?

Even 2000 is wrong. Did Jayz, Nas, 50 cent, Ja Rule, Busta, Em, etc all cease existence?

A Mecca can't move...mecca stay mecca. New York is the mecca of hip hop.. they just ain't doin shit today for real..but as far as history go new york got it on lock

Correct. I'd say the South officially took over once the ROC died

 

[grYmes]

The Mecca is NYC, not even up for debate.

 

[nex gin]

Mfs are confusing the "mecca" concept w/ "a period of industry dominance". ATL is not the birthplace of hip hop so it cannot be the "mecca" of hip hop. I'm not sure why this is so difficult to understand? Using the term "mecca" to loosely describe any place that has been influenced/affected by hip hop is retarded. Even when the west coast was running shit, those mfs still paid homage to where that shit originated.

 

[bigrizz]

Simply put ....put the top ten NY rappers against the top ten atl rappers.....no comparison

 

[bigrizz]

Hell most atl artists are signed to labels in NY

You literally just agreed with what the definition of mecca was yet you felt the need to add a bunch of extra unnecessary words

You can save the long posts, I know what words mean when I use them trust me

This NY self-involved smugness has to stop, and this coming from a nigga from NY. I was that exact same way before we moved down here and I opened my mind

Example: From '08-'09 Drake was basically an intern out here(at Hit Factory I believe) where they GROOMED HIM, and then he broke nationally in '09

Example: Nicki Minaj couldn't even blow in her own city she had to come to Atl first

Example: Three 6 Mafia focused on breaking in Atl

Example: Master P focused on breaking in Atl

Hell even Justin Beiber came to Atl to break

Makonnen came to Atl to break

NY's current Christ is a copy paste of an Atl nigga

Y'all need to look at this objectively. Y'all sound like crotchety old niggas

Not a thing you typed addressed my post. Don't move the goal post nigga, stick to the basis of this thread

What is MECCA b. Find it and tell me what or where Mecca is and why it's treated as such.

After you do that, tell me if that place sounds to you like the ATL in relation to hip hop.

I'll ask you like I asked the other dude, did hip hop start in 2000?

You do realize non New Yorkers are also defending NY Mecca status?

Also Atl is dirt cheap. Struggle rappers can't afford to live NYC, so Atlanta is where it's at.

 

[a_list]

Yo, Mecca doesnt move because a certain spot is hotter....Niggas is idiots, b...Hip Hop started with ABC and Kris Kross?..lol

 

[Shizlansky]

Mecca can move.

But it's not ATL

It's def NY

 

[Stiff]

I dont even think Atlanta the mecca of Southern Hip Hop for real

 

[Stiff]

If you wanted to say Atlanta the most influential city in hip hop now thats a debate..but mecca is always gonna be nyc
