It's why I love that Juicy J's comeback was built off his mixtape with his work with Lex Luger and other trap cats that basically took his blueprint and ran with it. Obviously the current trap wave is all them; which people put in early jeezy/ti hands but really was driven by producers who took their blueprint and ran with it.
As it's been covered in the post above people don't give them respect because
1)They were more Southern then Atlanta at a time where NYC couldn't pull it's head from its ass
2)Seen as subpar mc's due to their rudimentary rhyme flow even though their subject matter was pretty unique (ain't like the OG horrorcore cats ever make a wave)
3)No real major label push
And we still don't give them their respect; the atmosphere they create with their tracks is unparalleled in hip-hop; its not really that surprising they won an Oscar.
Im on vacay driving around alot and just told myself yesterday I need to throw some 3-6 on the ipod.
