Time for Papoose to go in on Trinidad James. He's one of the few last New York artists cut from the lyricist cloth. I got family in New York but it is what is. New York lost it's identity. When you got Harlem producing acts like ASAP Rocky and Ferg, how can NYC get offended at what Trinidad James says. I recently spoke to my cousin in Jamaica Queens and he was telling me how Kendrick Lamar and them TDE dudes rap like the Old New York. We both thought that dude Jay Rock was pretty good also. I saw Troy Ave talk a good game on the breakfast club how he's bringing that old New York sound back but when I listened to his music, I heard a below average rapper. NYC should pass the mic back to all the 30 plus year old rappers like Nas, The Lox, AZ, Ransom, Juelz Santana etc... New York's problem is two fold. Not only have the rappers lost their identity, the producers have also. They dont have their own signature sound to start a movement like in the past. There's no QTip sound, No Large Professor, no Marley Marl Primo, No BomB Squad, No RZA, No Heatmakerz, No Hitmen, Just Blaze Or Kanye West.... Many producers today dont even have that DJ backround that really helps your ear as a producer. They have no overall knowledge of music so it's diificult creating their own signature sound
