How Come Mid 90s NY Rap Didn't Sell?

[270crownst]

East started it,had it,then west had it.. with the whole deathrow era,East had it back again with big,jay,dmx,50 cent and etc...now the south has it...not by sales.. but the south is dominating the commercial radio right now..it is what it is...

nyc let yall pioneers die off

yall pop that support the emcee shit but dont back it up...ud catch 40 or too short on an nyc record before kane or doug, stop the bullshit. yall sank yourselves. macklemore had to put yall ogs back on some new shit..thats a bad look...and its all on yall

NY was producing so much talent that did become a reality. Look at the 93/94 shift. You ever seen so many dope artist get pushed to the side?

During the height of the Westcoast G Funk era there were 20 signed NYC artist with gold records for every mainstream westcoast artist. Please stop this madness. Why do you think DEF jam signed Warren G and not many other West Coast artist then drop him like a brick the second he started to play out?

Interesting point. You're saying that while 3 or 4 West Coast albums went multiplat there were dozens of East Coast albums that went gold. That may be true but I remember vividly that Illmatic didn't go gold when it came out and that got 5 mics in The Source.

It went gold like around IWW time. NY won the quality and quantity battle, that's why during that era the east produced more legends.

People front now though, like Mobb Deep wasn't doing more numbers than a UGK.

But UGK>>>Mobb Deep...

Not in the 90's. UGK sold less than a million albums in the 90's.

Don't get ya racist white man on trying to re write history.

i swear..

only NY niggas live vicariously thru their artists. hahahaha

Like every non NY rapper don't look like Lil Wayne now, who once tried to emulate Jigga.

Mobb Deep from London


Like already stated, East Coast music sold more than any other region overseas and it's not even close. Cats weren't flying in from the West Indies trying to get the UGK and BG album.

This thread was titled wrong but I get the point.

 

[its....JOHN B]

Damn hiphop12345 came thru and crushed y'all

 

[EyeofAsaru]

Lol @ mobb deep being regional

Eye don't EVER recall hearing pocket full of stones,take it off or front & back being performed somewhere overseas..

Much love to UGK tho...They made plenty of classics..and bun b and pimp c destroyed hov on big pimpin(especially bun,pimp shined with sheer charisma)

Jive was being shady around Dirty Money, barely giving them promotion because they weren't make another Big Pimpin type of record then Pimp went to jail before the release. They didn't get correct with the label until Underground Kingz album

Here in the WIld West Never Heard of Mobb Deep till Pac dissed them, shit they owe most of their movement to Pac Haters jumping on their dicks...

UGK been Kracking since we heard them on Menace II Society Soundtrack...

and nobody without southern ties heard of UGK until the free Pimp C movement. Mobb Deep sold more in the West than UGK so maybe that soundtrack didn't help too much.

i swear..

only NY niggas live vicariously thru their artists. hahahaha

Like every non NY rapper don't look like Lil Wayne now, who once tried to emulate Jigga.

nyc let yall pioneers die off

NY was producing so much talent that did become a reality. Look at the 93/94 shift. You ever seen so many dope artist get pushed to the side?

During the height of the Westcoast G Funk era there were 20 signed NYC artist with gold records for every mainstream westcoast artist. Please stop this madness. Why do you think DEF jam signed Warren G and not many other West Coast artist then drop him like a brick the second he started to play out?

Interesting point. You're saying that while 3 or 4 West Coast albums went multiplat there were dozens of East Coast albums that went gold. That may be true but I remember vividly that Illmatic didn't go gold when it came out and that got 5 mics in The Source.

It went gold like around IWW time. NY won the quality and quantity battle, that's why during that era the east produced more legends.

People front now though, like Mobb Deep wasn't doing more numbers than a UGK.
