New York has been forgotten (the hip hop coma)





 I hate to say it but New York has really fell of the map. The New York hip hop scene is on its last leg and its about to really fall. Do we even hear that New york hip hop on the airwaves anymore? I honestly can't remember the last time i heard a Biggie joint on the radio. There is no tribute being shown to any of our greats and it is really sad. What the hell is Puffy doing to keep Big alive, and please tell me what fat Joe did for Pun the last 8 years. The New York playlist has been over ran by the south and please don't get me started with b.e.t. Im going to give a big shout out to birthplace magazine for trying to keep New York hip hop alive. Thew few venues we have left like S.o.b's and high line ballroom. The select few artist like Joell ortiz and Homeboy Sandman who keep it real and don't sellout. Its safe to say that we are a lost memory in hip hop and i don't think its going to get any better with the arrival of the canadian megastar Drake and the south. Im not hating on them because i do listen to some of Drakes old stuff but people in this generation aren't open to the last of the real hip hop we have left in new york. Our art is being decapitated by the commercial industry and all we have left to show for it is nothing. I know there are people out there that feel like me, all i need is some support to help this hip hop coma we are in. "Until then hip hop is gone"
