MuchMusic Message Board: are you a fan of the simpleized southern hip hop |
 | | Southern hip hop (also known as Dirty South hip hop) is a form of hip hop music that emerged in the late-1990s as a popular force from cities such as Dallas, Atlanta, Memphis, Jackson, Nashville, Houston, Shreveport, Orlando, Louisville, Tampa, Jacksonville, Austin, New Orleans, Miami, and San Antonio. |
 | | Southern rap artists were forced to release their music independently. |
 | | Whereas East Coast hip hop has historically been associated with complex lyrics and sparse urban beats, and West Coast hip hop is known for its relaxed G-Funk vibe; contemporary Southern rap is largely characterized by its upbeat, exuberant, club-friendly tunes and simplistic, heavily rhythmic lyrical delivery. |
