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

[Mr_Vicodin81G]

I'm from Texas and have never met anyone who ever bought, owned or even illegally download a Mobb Sleep album before. Never even heard anyone bump it in their rides before.

Now every single West Coast artist posted in this thread I have known people who have bought or owned at least ONE albun from said artists. The South and the West Coast just ride with each other music like that. I'm 32 and the first album I ever owned was Doggystyle. A gift from my older cousin. Hell I was on WC music more than south for the longest time.

niggas really was like "who!!?" when Pac said "fuck Mobb Deep!" hahahaa only thing we knew about them niggas was one had sick cells and anemic. hahahaha

then Jay told us they tap danced..

then Lil Kim had them on a remix..

thats about all we know of them cats out this way.

and thats yall legends!? hahahaha

Truth!!!!!!!!!!

South & West always rode together like peanut butter & jelly. Spice 1, Short, 40 water, B Legit, Cube, Dre, Snoop, Deathrow, Pac etc, the whole bay was getting drops in the rides in the south & likewise. Snoop was on UGK music before his first album came out. He used to stay with Big Mike (when he was on Death Row) & Big Mike put Snoop on UGK

Why are some trying to make Ugk the standard? Why are they being brought up endlessly? They are just one admittedly and purposely underground group. Nobody said they were the biggest sellers. Again their name is Underground kings. They targeted the underground. What do they have to do with 90s NY rap?

Niggas stuck on UGK like Outkast wasn't platinum in the 90s
