NC Hip Hop Sites Online
North Carolina Hip-Hop Is Making Noise
Alot of great things come
from N. Cacky Lacky but who would ever think that
NC Hip Hop
Sites would be one of
them. HipHop had taken the world by storm and it no longer
thought as being a FAD by some of our white counterparts.
Rap music videos are everywhere and having the internet with
websites like Myspace and and YouTube makes it that much
easier.
North Carolina hip-hop is growing amongst the
craze for this kind of music too. Rappers are starting to
form alliances to really put that state on the map.
Always known for it's college basketball
team they are trying to change that. By sticking together in
studio meetings and spreading the news around the south they
are trying to mimic the success of Atlanta Georgia where
superstar rappers have been created. Just incase you forgot who
I'll name a few...Ludacris, T.I., Lil'
Jon, Lil' Scrappy, Dj Unk and Outkast
to keep it simple. That's about 600 million dollars worth of
success listed in that previous sentence.
Everybody is chasing the branded fame of state
hype. New York and California had it locked down for a while
but then Texas and Georgia hit the map with Dirty South lyrics.
Artist like Papoose and
MIMS are
trying to bring New York back but they are struggling
against the Down South flow. The sound coming out of North
Carolina is a little different though.
They still rock crunk beats but the raps are
more thoughtful.
What I mean by that is it's not a mike jones
flow but a lloyd banks or jadakiss type of rhyming. Take that
and through it on a heavy drum laid beat and it's sounds pretty
damn good. I think Petey Pablo is from this part of the region
and if he is then he is about the only successful hip hop
artist to come from those parts in a long time. Not sure if the
rapgodfathers would approve of that.
Turn on your radio right now and chances are you
will not hear not one rapper from N.C. in a rotation of a 4
hour period. That's got to hurt if you are trying to rep that
state huh? I been following a couple of people though through
forums and blogs and we will probably see something big happen
here in the next two years or so. Let me tell you there are
some dudes and at least two females that I know personally that
is grinding those streets with mixtapes trying to get noticed.
I also want to tell you that they are not amatuers either, the
beats and the lyrics are ridicously hot and thorough.
Next time you think of North Carolina you might
want to get out of the habit of thoughts on March madness and
the duke Blue Devils. Hip-Hpo is alive in those parts and it's
only a matter of time before a superstar breaks into the music
industry from N.C. and along with him or her will come an
entire state of fans.
