"THE SOUTH IS THE REASON HIP HOP IS DEAD!" - Average Idiot

Usually someone will say this and try to back it up with statements like "they don't be talkin' 'bout nothin'" or "every song got a wack a$$ dance to go with it". Let's face it, lyrical content is lacking in MOST of mainstream hip hop, and the Yung Joc "motorcycle" dance is far superior to the harlem shake! (Not because I'm from the south, but because non dancing people like me can do it!)

The one thing that no one can deny is that the south got dem beets! Yes, believe it or not, the South digs crates. This month I will feature samples from songs that are either produced by southern producers, or rapped over by southern MC's.

This week features The Isley's Brothers, "Ain't I Been Good To You". This song was sampled by Pimp C of UGK for their song "One Day" on their classic album Ridin' Dirty.

Enjoy!
