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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
