A Diplomats Discusses the Big Apple's Inferiority Complex:

A Lot of People in N.Y. seem to be mad that the south is gettin'all this attention right now.I just hear a lot of conversations about the situationa. I guess People are takin'it personal,like,the South is not playin our music but we play their music.It's just stupid to me.If it's gonna come into something like the East Coast-West Coast beef, we makin'ourselves seem wack, like we are haters.

I Definitely feel like New York Hip-Hop can be restored.But everybody's trying to chase pop success. Everybody chasin success like it's a quota; I gotta sell this much records, I can only sell this much if I have this type of song on the radio. It's interferin' with the quality of people's music right now.You got a lot of different sounds comin' from Atlanta. You got Lil Jon doin Crunk Music, You got Ying Yang Twins doin' The whisper shit, You got Jeezy foin' the street shit. They givin you the whole feel. Whereas in New York, everybody's the thug, the gamgsta. It's no more LL Cool J, No more Rakim, No more Kool G Rap. Everybody stickin' to the script and doin' what they do. If You's a partyin' Dude, then bring that across. It's not fraudulent music.

I feel like New York is not really puttin'in that work. A lot of artists are blamin' the record label, sayin'they're not givin'artists a shot.You goatta take your own shot! No Man can stop you from doin' your thing. Any man have the opportunity to come out and take over this whole shit. I hate to say it in all actuality, but the biggest rapper in the game is 50 Cent, and he's from New York. What it is, you gotta bring something different to the table. Lyrically nice is nothin' no more.You got a lot of dudes that's nice. You gotta atep your shit up, nigga. Bottom line is do ya thing. Bring it back home if that's how you feel. Don't talk about it, be about it. South niggas ain't sayin' they better than everybody. They lettin' their music speak.

New York is definitely segregated in a lot of different ways. It's no more just reppin' for New York, makin' New York that number one spot. It's who's the number one person in New York. I feel like that's why the South is winnin', 'cause they make music that's real, and it's accessible, and they all workin' and stickin' together. When niggas get together and make it about New York, then that's what it's gon'br. Then the whole world is gon'feel the wrath of New York.
