Although the music scene of Atlanta is rich and varied, the city’s production of hip-hop music has been especially noteworthy, acclaimed, and commercially successful. In 2009, The New York Times called Atlanta “hip-hop’s center of gravity”, and the city is home to many famous hip-hop, R&B and neo soul musicians.
In 2009 The New York Times noted that after 2000, Atlanta moved “from the margins to becoming hip-hop’s center of gravity, part of a larger shift in hip-hop innovation to the South.” Atlanta hip-hop’s pop breakthrough—everyone from Jermaine Dupri to OutKast to Lil Jon—involved the blend of various distillations of hard-core sounds from the West, bass beats from Florida, and styles and images from the North. Producer Drumma Boy called Atlanta “the melting pot of the South”. Producer Fatboi called the Roland TR-808 (“808”) synthesizer “central” to Atlanta music’s versatility, used for snap, crunk, trap, and pop rap styles. The same article named Fatboi, Shawty Redd and Zaytoven the four “hottest producers driving the city”.
Atlanta Hip-Hop influences other mainstream forms of media. Comedian, actor, and musician Donald Glover, who raps under the name Childish Gambino has gained critical and commercial success with his television show Atlanta. The show chronicles the lives of two cousins trying to navigate the Hip-Hop world. Its acting and social commentary have earned it two Golden Globe awards and two Emmy awards.
Atlanta’s hip-hop scene created of many of the decade’s dance crazes. Dances like The Dab, the Whip, and the Nae-Nae have all ascended from hip-hop into the mainstream. Proof of these dances mainstream success is evident. Notably, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton did a “Dab” on the popular talk show, Ellen.

Understanding Chicago Hip Hop

Damn. No love for Young Jeezy?
His explanation of the trap is so fucking FALSE
♡♡♡♡♡
understanding philadelfia hip hop
Nigga a trap is a bando wit motion going on
What the fuck is with your definition of trap
Why did you put an image pf J Cole, not JID?
Whoever is Reading this:
Your skin isn’t a paper don’t cut it
Your body isn’t a book don’t judge it
Your heart isn’t a door don’t lock it
Your life isn’t a movie don’t end it it
You’re beautiful
Be youself.. Stay safe
(by the way I’m also a small youtuber looking for your support )
I didn’t create this quote
Just wanna spread some positivty❣️
This was the worst book report ever. Shame on you
Yachty
The way the video is represented is the way you want to consume information, the facts of that information are questionable…
Two words. Zeitgeist Epicentre. It’s like New Orleans for jazz, or London for British garage rock bands. It’s just the place where the genre of trap is booming.
Houston next please🙌🏼
The video is okay but alottt of false information. Atlanta is definitely higher than 86 on the crime list for one, and Akon is not from here lol
All this time I thought a Trap was an abandoned house where people cook drugs get drunk and have good chicks helping lol! Silly me

This vid was fire, but when u gonna do one for the 757, we been making music for year but it seems like we’re never heard, but im just asking. #HAMPTON #757 #VA
Do Florida Rap please
MC SHY D ? How can you not mention him ?
How can you not mention T.I. and Gucci Mane
MF DOOM
Great vid, disappointed about less Gambino.
this is racist.

I think its also a cultural thing. Southern Hospitality.
If you look at most Atlanta rapper’s upbringings another Atlanta rapper brought them around or featured them. Future was with Dungeon Family. Lil Scrappy was with Lil Jon and brought Crime Mobb and D4L. Awful Records brought Carti.
Nobody in Atlanta who isnt something isn’t never going to work with someone from Atlanta. Its also a walk of passage. I think thats the thing that most cities lack and why you don’t see so many DMV or Carolina, Texas wherever artist as much as Atlanta. Because if X is hot they gonna put Y, Z, A, and B all on and the cycle continues until they all make it.
He’s gonna talk about Atlanta and not even MENTION gucci mane. Gucci mane is the God Of trap. Period.
The fact that lil nas x is on the thumbnail is disrespectful
When u get a chance can u do a vid on MF DOOM ? 💘
Orlando is next
this video sucks do your research man
pretty shitty video honestly. why do you shit on "party music" and claim it’s better than story-telling. wtf
This man said there was no stories being told by Atlanta music?! Fam you need to go and listen again.
Trap, as the name suggests is any job/situation where you find yourself in and are unable to break away from it. Selling drugs is referred to as trapping since its how hustlers made a living and had to continue in this "trap".
A 9-5 can also be a trap.
Is there a good, comprehensive history of Hip Hop, similar to the one on Netflix, that features Hip Hop in Atlanta?
3:08 What the Actual F***? Why is TLC featured when this dude just said 2 Live Crew?!
This video should have emphasized and expounded upon T.I., Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Waka Flocka Flame, Tity Boi / 2 Chainz (as a part of Playa’s Circle) particularly, while at least mentioning Young Buck, Bonecrusher, DJ Unk, Shawty Lo, Yung Joc, OJ Da Juiceman, Doe Boy, and many more I’m not recalling at the moment. There is plenty of Atlanta Hip-Hop history to inform viewers about and gaps left unfilled from that Source Awards Speech until the present moment in this video.
Still, good work in commemorating Atlanta Hip-Hop in some manner. If anything, look to possibly revise and update this video to be more so substantive and informing if the overlooked aspects of the region’s history.
F.Y.I., this critique is coming from someone in N.Y.
This reminds me of the wave that Florida is having right now which started back around 2012, Florida is always putting out new artist. I’d love to see a video on that
Why’d you put OutKast and Andre 3000 himself, doesn’t really make sense, but I’d replace w Gucci Mane
Why you have j cole in JID spot
u gotta do memphis
Yessir
My mans called lil baby a mumble rapper😭
u left out takeoff 😭
pls start listing music used thnx
