Third Coast – Outkast, Timbaland & How Hip-Hop Became A Southern Thing – Paperback Book

Third Coast: Outkast, Timbaland, and How Hip-Hop Became a Southern Thing is a book written by Roni Sarig, published in 2007.

The book explores the rise and influence of Southern hip-hop, focusing on key artists such as Outkast and producers like Timbaland who played a significant role in shaping the genre’s sound and identity. Sarig delves into the cultural and musical factors that contributed to the emergence of Southern hip-hop as a dominant force in the music industry.

Third Coast examines how Southern hip-hop artists challenged the dominance of the East and West Coast scenes and brought attention to the unique sounds and perspectives of the South. The book also explores the impact of regional identity, social issues, and cultural trends on the development of Southern hip-hop.

Through interviews with artists, producers, and industry insiders, Third Coast provides readers with insights into the creative process, business dynamics, and broader cultural significance of Southern hip-hop. It offers a comprehensive look at the genre’s evolution and its lasting influence on contemporary music.

Typically, more than half the top rap songs in the country are the work of Southern artists. In a world still stuck in the East/West coast paradigm of the ’90s, Southern hip hop has dominated the genre-and defined the culture-for years. And the South’s leading lights, most notably OutKast, Timbaland, and more recently, crunk superstars like the Ying Yang Twins and Lil Jon, have expanded the parameters of hip hop.

Third Coast is the first book to deal with Southern hip hop as a matter of cultural history, and the first to explain the character and significance of down South rapping to fans as well as outsiders. It tells the story of recent hip hop, marking how far the music has come sonically and culturally since its well-documented New York-centered early years.
