RE: mastodon.social/@mcc/116217778

(I promised to link "dirty south" rap this week and wait, are Timbaland and Missy *dirty south* or just south? They're from like, Virginia. In retrospect this clique, and the ATL/NOLA/Houston cluster, seem like separate but parallel currents: a group of hip hop artists comes out of the US south doing something fundamentally new and changes the way music sounds.

Anyway at least it *feels*, and felt at the time, fundamentally southern. All those cricket samples.)

@mcc South but not the dirty South movement, imo. I was living in Atlanta at the time and Timbaland/missy, Pharrell Williams, all sounded like its own thing.

Dirty South was more OutKast, Goodie Mobb, Dungeon Family, then later, the crunk wave with lil' John, then trap with T.I.

Even Three 6 Mafia was outside of the Dirty South scope I think(?)

It was all so wonderful though.
