Krown Royale "So New York"

If what is said in this song is true, and Krown Royale considers himself (and his song)  "So New York", doesn't this show us how far removed from boom-bap the city has gone? Moreover, doesn't it show how global hip-hop has gotten?

This simple change of city name, from "So New York" to "So birthplace of rapper" (and I'm sure this will happen in various remixes) would allow this song to play in the clubs of any number of locations, as each locale can recognize their regional music within the mosaic--be it Atlanta, London,Tokyo or your apartment. It's all there.

And yes,  I am saying your apartment has a distinct sound--mostly of yelling and playing Asteroids at full blast.
