GNX feels authentically West Coast because Kendrick was born in the last era when a rapper's sound was shaped directly by the region they grew up in. In contrast, Gen Z and Gen Alpha rappers are increasingly influenced by trending online sounds rather than regional ones.
Deidrick ain't making nun great again needed the drake snake stimulus+George Floyd stimulus😂✌️no one bumping this corny hospice west coast sound without em💀
The Trap wave was like a wrecking ball to regional creativity, not just domestically but internationally too. You’ll be on vacation in Greece 🇬🇷 and hear a song by a local rapper that’s a carbon copy of an Atlanta melodic Trap song. Social media made the world really small.
Remembering that trap run, I really admire Kendrick for resisting the trap pull for a majority of his catalogue. He only had a couple songs that leaned into the trap sound but mostly stuck to his own thing and still did really well.
It would interesting to see if artists will start to benefit from using their own sounds in 2025. Cause even after the beef some of the west coast artists like Ab soul, Yg, Roddy Rich, and Mustards albums flopped even with leaning into the west coast sound and using the beef to fuel their hype. I think the only one that’s gonna really benefit from this is Kendrick in all honesty.
Well we know that the beef basically pulled the plug on that industry trap sound and clout rap so now the industry is resetting itself. We also have Tyler the creator with his new album, central cee, jid etc.
Coulda kept this one in the drafts my man. We need to move past “Make ____ Great Again” shit was always based in bigotry and parroting it was and always has been corny.
It wasn’t until trap queen came out that this sound really started dominating. Regional and even deeper individual sounds were still so different from artist to artist from 2009-2014. I kind of disagree with you about the 2000s because that bling bling sound was dominant, not like atl trap from 2015-2024 but still the number one sound by far.
15:21 ngl all I can think of when you say 2 years ago is it looks like lil baby 😭ruined it to you because he was that last big ATL rapper to really drop that year after we had future and 21 savage (with drake)
This is why I love being from the DMV, we’ve always kept our regional sound and have never really bent down to the trap sound, there’s a big gate keeping culture here when it comes to music, and this is also why I feel like our sound has never been really mainstream and rappers from here never really break out due to them not conforming. Great video as always 🙏
@@NyikoRikhotso bruh the sound scape is West coast period done by West coast producers, cultivated by a West coast environment,with west coast lingo and lifestyle bruh everyone is not going to sound like mustard on a beat how

I think they did quite well from concert sales, live shows and longevity on streams; only Ak looks at first week sales
I can’t lie atlanta production is amazing
Thumbnail is outta pocket.
I love the regional sound of Kendrick’s Ang Glorilla’s projects. Give us more diversity and fun.
Kendrick gave me hope in music again 💜
Closest region to switch the sound is Detroit during like 2020-2022
