Would you agree that the south killed the essence of hip hop?

You guys keep talking about a lot of other stuff, though.

I'm talking about sampling being killed. We all know that a lot of it came because of the lawsuits and changes in copyright law, but we didn't see that big switch in production until the southern sound became universal.

@Lucien

You need to change the thread title then.

Sampling being killed and the South killing hiphop are 2 separate issues.

Sampling is part of the essence of rap though. The south popularized this synthesized music we hear now. What I wanted to discuss was whether or not this was one of the key events that's led to rap we see now

Maybe I communicated that incorrectly
