Nigga pointed the mic to the crowd to rap along and all u heard was crickets.....

I fucking love this. Three rappers. Three RAPPERS! Not rap adjacent. Not rapper for now until I can cross over (Machine Gun Kelly, Post Malone). RAPPERS! This is dope. And shoutout to the West Coast from a Philly nigga. Maybe this will inspire Philly rappers to start sounding like Philly rappers again.
Now this makes more sense. Aw shit those sales despite cheap tickets. Local newspapers and publications previously reported that he was failing to sell tickets

Respect to Chicago, but I'm tired of Philly rappers trying to sound like Chicago drill. You even got kids saying "the bity" instead of "the city." Nigga, we ain't fucking LA. Philly has always had it's own sound and folks fought hard for that shit being in the shadows of NY. Enough of the dickeating. I was happy as fuck when Lik Moss dropped this last year. THIS is our sound.

Well damn
As a Brooklyn kid my favorite rappers all from Philly
That Philly style is unique and timeless
This. Black Thought always been himself since they dropped Organix. Beans was Beans. Eve wasn't trying to be Trina. Hell, Jay took Young Chris flow at one point. Freeway has one of the most unique flows around. Same with Peedi (who I still think was like 10 years ahead of the game). Bunch of kids from North and West Philly tryna sound like kids from West and South Chicago. Stop the fucking dickeating already.
Damn... you make a good case I can't argue against it
But there was/is a SIMILARITY to a LOT of gangsta style Philly MCs for a minute. So I UNDERSTOOD tying to flip it for the new generation.
But it aint a PHILLY problem its a HIP HOP problem.
I think EVERY region has the same issue
But I NEVER thought of this till today - Black Thought Freeway Beans Peedi Meek Dice Raw Young Chris Eve etc
Rhymes concepts flows voice delivery - they don't sound ANYTHING ALIKE PERIOD
And hey were ALL OUT AT THE SAME TIME!
and final sidebar... I remember the FIRST time I heard Beans on Adrenaline
I just keep repeating the song OVER and OVER and OVER
Beans verse didn't make NO TYPE of SENSE. You can't DO THAT
but what EVERYONE forgets?
Tariq and Dice went BANANAS!!!!
SECOND...Freeway on 1 900 Hustler
It was on the train coming home bootleg CD I was like WHO THE HELL IS THIS? He is crying choking while he rhyming?! His vocal cords gonna snap! Calm DOWN! Selling these drugs AINT THAT IMPORTANT
And repeated the song till my batteries died
To ME?
That was the definition of Philly hip hop.
Can't agree with you more. The fact that Beans and Thought were on the same track showed how crazy that era was. Then you add on that SAME album Eve spits the rhyme on You Got Me.
