Here's mine:
SOUTH- Stop treatin the rap game like a business opportunity. The South is flooded with *TOO MANY* rappers who aren't even *TRYING* to make a difference. You're representing alot of people and when you "Crank Dat" and "Hand Clap" you give people from the rest of the nation the thought that this is all the South has to offer and thats not the case. I'm not saying you have to be amazing, but at least *TRY* to be... damn.

I don't think you understand my question. you're from ohio, so your region is the midwest. What can midwest rappers do to improve the state of hip hop? I'm not asking how they can get signed.

Chicago rappers need to do more events/promotion in our own city...instead of always heading east to make that money...Chicago has a lot of unheard talent...because of the lack of recognition....These rapper feel as if they gotta leave the city just to make it..

I'm from BK, N.Y & rappers need to take it back to the roots.
I wish they would stop putting bubble gum rappers and R&B singers on their albums just to make sales. I hate to see a rapper from here who has skillz,drop an album and it sounds like all that "Hand Clap" that you mentioned.
This is to all the rappers in the game now from every region:
When an athlete prepares for a game he/she watches film of old and new. Then they put their own flare and spin on how they'll play the game.
Same with this industry: You can't have a style & flow if you don't know how the game originated. That means listening to the pioneers( GM Flash &5, Treacherous 3, Funky Four plus 1 Plus more, Crash Crew, Cold Crush K.Blow, DMC etc..)and get a feel of what the music is supposed to be like and express it through your own interpretation.

Belgian rappers should mature and start a few beefs. We need beefs to make the scene big! Belgian rap is too nice.
The guy's in the clip try but it's definitely not on the same level as a Tupac Biggie, Jay Z Nas or Eminem Benzino beef. That makes the game big

Rappers from EVERY region could improve the rap game by learning how to sing rather than mumble. Sure would be nice to hear just one of them carry a tune for a change.

rappers from the south...my region..need to read a book..or two or three. I remember the days when hip hop made u think...when cats said things that were over your head...that u had to meditate to even grasp the meaning...but now its all meaningless drivel. If i hear another south song whose title begins with "do the.." i dont know what imma do.

i agree some of the south rappers need to put more thought into the lyrics... "lemme git a hand clap!" i thought lil flips lyrics were basic.... the saga continues.
