Rob, I overall agree. It was mostly weak. 2 Live Crew does suck. And it was all to vague with just whole labels being honored. There were good moments (but as I pointed out -- my top 3 moments included 2 that were non-South in Game/Drake). I was excited that Gucci performed so much. I was glad that Devin's name was mentioned. But yeah...
should have been honoring Getto BOys, Outkast, UGK, Three6 and label-wise Cash Money deserves a big-up. I was okay with Master P being honored. I'm not a big fan, but he did sort of put NO on the map and he did make some big waves outside of the South.
Luke sucks. And I know it's geographics and splitting hairs, but most people don't call Miami Bass south music. Same with like Bay Area Hyphy. I don't lump that in either. But that's up to individual interpretation. Technically Florida IS a southern state.
ALSO, I know it's a niche thing, but really the whole Chopped N Screwed genre shoulda been included. I mean, that's a Southern-born extension of the music.
