It is musically and far as black ppl. Black ppl create the music Scenes if it’s not any black culture there then the city will never blow as a hip hop city bc ppl can’t identify with it. That’s why a lot of west coast music is regional now
Az has yet to develop its own sound and rappers here have a tendency to sound too much like they are either west coast, trap, or any other genres of rap. We also need a major promotion here to create an all Az tour that will increase in revenues who will want book shows to add to the market. Bootleg Kev believe it or not you can co create a stream here that will grow.
Put some respect on Rum Nitty. One of the best battle rappers in the game💯 May not be a mainstream rapper ,but he’s definitely shining for AZ nevertheless.
What’s cool about Arizona is there is twice as many new rap artist that aren’t out yet. It’s a secret society of us in the woodworks and once one of us comes out the rest follow after. Arizona doesn’t know what they’re in for. There’s a great many of us!
I lived in AZ for 12 years. They don’t blow up because 1. They don’t have an image of a rapper. Az don’t have a style tailored to them. 2. They don’t got their own lingo. Ask yourself. What someone from Phoenix sound like? You can tell when someone from NY, FL, GA, PHI. By their slang 3. All the rappers there want to talk about gang shit. While that can get you in the door it don’t get you far. 4. They don’t value hip hop like that meaning ask them the history and I’d say 90% of the people don’t know. Your goal should be to stand amongst the greats in the game. 5. Bar work ain’t up to par like that 5.
Fetti Profoun was lyrical af but on that illuminati shit lil too much 😂 i use to fuck with J-Thug but that was early mid 2000s he had that g-funk kinda style though but he had some fire tracks back then
This is true they have no real identity or culture. If I speak anywhere in America or the world you gone know I’m from Louisiana Baton rouge to be exact. Just by our lingo and accents. When I hear most Arizona dudes talk they all sound like they from Cali but Shid to be honest that’s damn near every western state. Shit be weird how Cali really they big bros out there. Down south we all the same but we wayy different too. Memphis and New Orleans are not the same and New Orleans and BR not the same. ATL and Miami not the same Raleigh and Savannah not the same. Our accents even change throughout the south so it’s easier for us to distinguish where someone is from
Oh yeah that’s right, Futuristic was and still is a very good rapper, damn that’s right he’s out of phoenix, I remember around 2013 - 2014 Futuristic was on a pretty good wave of popularity, when he done the team backpack cypher with Krizz kaliko and black Pegasus, and dizzy wright
I remember when i worked at mcdonalds in phoenix and mc magic pulled up in the drive thru and we started talking then he asked me what song do you like from me and i frozed and quickly said if he wanted ketchup since i didnt know one song lol
Phoenix is lit! Hella clubs, malls, strip clubs, bars, downtown Phoenix is dope too! Not to mention the srrounding citties like Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, West gate in Glendale, Etc!
I hate to blow this vid up with my comments but phx has a boring preppy night life, Tucson is more real and genuine Arizona, phx is watered down with LA BS
I’m definitely going to big the biggest thing next to main stream music coming out of AZ 🌵 I got the network and Team to pull if off had to get my sound right 💪🌵
@mosblunted he only lived here for a few years and he didn’t pop when he lived here. He moved here at 9 and moved to LA as a teen. So he ain’t from here, and he didn’t pop here, so that don’t count.
whatchu mean, theres been way too many, ppl just sleepin on az cause you know we some dustin disgussin cowbois n shit my g, theres mad fire out here, trussssssst
MC Magic and the NB Ridaz were the most successful hip hop acts from Phoenix. Also DJ Z-Trip made it pretty big in hip hop for a DJ. Z-Trip grew up here and got his start out here.
@@mattlel3194 you gotta be in the underground scene to know. But I can guarantee you the hardest rappers from Arizona are all from Sierra vista. And I out that on
Arizona doesn't have any identity. They all sound like other rappers from other places. It doesn't have a sound that actually connects with the people there.
💯 it’s not enough black history there for ppl to identify with. All these well known hip hop cities are black cities or places with huge population of black folks that’s why artist from those areas have it easier. A majority Mexican city is gone have trouble finding the current hip hop sound without imitating bc they don’t have none of the creators around 💯
Cartels plugs banging pimpin weed out of towners, who underestimate the city and end up in sticky situations, and of course, exotic females of all shades and flavors Az❤ i’d rather be here than any state where the confederacy ruled where it gets cold lol
They could rap about drug smuggling, human smuggling, cartels, gangs… all of that is here in Arizona. Basically what hip hop is about these days. All they need is to find a Mexican like Peso Pluma that will appeal to the latin crowd. Market him right and he will will sale. Bootleg Kev has a lot of Clout through social media… I bet with his influence he could help an AZ artist blowup. Hip hop is mostly about marketing and gimmicks these days… talent has very little to due with becoming a star. It’s all about connections and know the right people. Someone with enough money could funnel their money into a person and make them a star overnight.
🤣🤣🤣 it is hard to take a nice play like Phoenix serious I understand you bro. Like why y’all even wanna live like that when it’s so nice out here. Mane come walk through BR or N.O. For a second I promise you gone be thankful for PHX 🤣💯
We underground 🚇 with The Cowboys&Aliens ...rez life. hip hop & Rap movies 🎬 is going down in are own lives ..right now, secretly. A low budget flim type shit. (A 🦀 in a barrel)
I'm from the south but i spent time in a handful of western states that had bubbling music for years and I wonder why they never blow like Colorado Arizona Washington State
You just need the right connections to make it big out here. If someone put enough money and effort into an artist out here they could become huge. Look at the hip hop scene today… a lot of the big names in the game right now aren’t even that talented… they just had the right connections and marketing gimmick to blow up.
@madswan2072 I agree, brother. The current hip-hop industry has a lot of mediocre rappers feeding into albums of degeneratecy, I just miss the early 2000s and the 90s when people were just making art, but I definitely agree it's about the connections.
I grew up with Jim Brown aka cypher. We use to go to the same school and also rap together. I was in the Funky Nutz he was in the group the Rhymin Weirdoz. That album you talking about is far past the point if his peak in music and he never should have even made that satanic trash! I’m the one who even inspired him to rap back at Borman elementary!!! FACTS!!
Bootleg kev has the power to put an AZ artists on with his platform 💯💯

It is a smaller market, Az population is about 6-7 million, California population is over 20 million
Futuristic had a wave for sure
He was only big temporarily because he serviced a few old billionaires at The Bohemian Grove.
He never repped arizona in his songs doe
Shit was ass!
@@Dutchmaster707”I’m from the desert, I don’t like chillin” is the only line I can think of that was about AZ

Exactly thats what i peeped when i first moved here.....but I still think its the next city...so many artist moving here from other states.
