I agree to an extent. East coast rappers have contributed to the downfall of hip hop as well but most of the Southern rap music that I hear is the same ole' ice, hoes, and rims, with 2 finger keyboard beats and an 808 drum kit with hi hats that'll pierce your eardrums. When I was in Alabama and my cousins tried to pop lil' john, lil' joc and all the other lil's type cd's into my cd player, you know damn well I took it out and popped in some Siegel, Kiss or Nas.

Though, it seems that it does appeal to many people, especially here in NY. Driving down the street you'd think you were down south because all you hear blasting out of cars is "PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR" or "DO YO CHAIN HANG LOW". For now, I'll just listen to my preferred rap music until the southern phase passes, though I think it will take quite a while for that to happen.
