Super producer Mannie Fresh has seen many different era’s of Hip-hop and is still relevant today, currently working on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation C.D., Cruel Summer. In a recent interview with Soul Culture in his hometown of New Orleans, Mannie gave a very candid interview about his thought on Hip-Hop culture today and gives NY rappers a reason to get motivated. Check out what he said below:

“You got NY rappers that sound like they from the South, East coast rappers that sound like they from the South. I’m not saying anything is wrong with that, but what happened to the East Coast sound, what happened to the West coast sound?”

Do you agree with Mannie Fresh on that? Do NY rappers sound like they’re from the South? Mannie also drops some jewels about working with G.O.O.D. Music, “It’s a factory. You can go work with whoever you want to work with until you get that magical song.”
