Niggas been biting the Bay

New York ran the table from 1979-1992. You had people like NWA and 2 Live Crew but New York was the Mecca and thats indisputable.

From 1992-1993 I'll admit that the West Coast had a new, different, fresh sound while New York was struggling to come up with some new ideas. From 92-93 New York had Pete Rock and CL Smooth, A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, Naughty By Nature and Brand Nubian but they weren't selling like Dre, Snoop or Ice Cube...and later Coolio who went double platinum and won a grammy.

In November 1993 A Tribe Called Quest and Wu Tang dropped albums on the same day (Midnight Marauders and Enter The Wu: 36 Chambers). Snoop dropped Doggystyle two weeks later.

My circle of friends preferred Midnight Marauders and 36 Chambers, but Doggystyle sold 4X plat. In Boston, Award Tour, C.R.E.A.M. and Gin and Juice all got played on daytime radio.

The video shows like Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City showed a mix of East, West and South but later Gang Star, Jeru The Damaja, Nas and eventually Biggie dropped albums. The mixtape game picked up and my friends from New York were bringing back the hottest Doo Wop, S&S, DJ Clue, Kid Capri, Ron G and whoever else was poppin on 125th st.

While I must admit that the West Coast sold more from 93-96, there was a mixtape culture in New York City that the rest of the country didn't know about.

Then Bad Boy sold 30 Million records in 1997.

At least thats how I remember it.

we aint talking about all that tho..

we talking about niggas biting the west while simultaneously trying to shit on it..

NY had all the publications back then and after Pac shitted on y'all niggas and got popped the West pretty much got blacklisted..

the West aint never stop bein hard.. but it was always funny to me hearing niggas on the radio talking about our lifestyle but when our artist pop that shit we "too west coast" ...the fuck!?!?

 

[leftcoastkev]

I been saying this shit for years..

niggas come to the west..

smoke our weed.. soak in our sun rays..

get turned down by our bad bitches..

and then go back to wherever the fuck they from new niggas..

BUT THEN try to shit on the west?!? smmfh

rims.. top down.. popping bottles.. thats all westcoast...

Yea I think everybody out he has been tryna tell everybody this.... Niggas in the west don't become bigger becuz everybody from other regions comes and takes our shit and runs with it but when we put it out there it gets classified as "too west coast sounding"..….. the masses like the west coast sound they just don't like it coming from west coast artist especially if it's our bay sound

Im not a big Bay fan..

im a Southern Cali nigga.. but I know niggas who are and they always pointing out how the Bay be getting bitten..

shit is disgusting..

it really is disgusting cuz the bay has great talent and none of them are getting shine because people are stealing their sound which is fucked up . Lowkey west is running hiphop not the south

Eh...wouldn't say that, but everything is Definitely Southern and West Coast influenced in rap today

Some of the souths most popular producers are from the Bay (e.g. Zaytoven) and they carried their sound with them which influences other producers in the south.

I don't know if he ever listened to Mac Dres music but if you listen to Young Dolph, he has a couple of songs that sound like Mac Dre verses. When I heard the first verse on this my first thought was "damn this sound like some Dre shit"

 

[water ur seeds]

Didnt BIG admit he was influenced by King Tee???

 

[RickyRich]

50 Cent said it himself in interviews, if he came out in the 90s with his style and production we all came to know and love, you'd have thought he and Shady were death row artists.

I don't doubt he helped Puff with Ready To Die but you can't take away from the fact that Puff, Big and everyone around the project helped out more to form it into what it ultimately became.

Why u dont belive it cuz it suge ? I dont think he will lie .

 

[RickyRich]

[$tayRichROLLIN]

Niccas always come out west and bite our shit and take it back to wherever the fucc there from. Suge is 100 percent right. We had to make rappers respect our culture! Notice how every rapper who think they hard want LA validation

The style Dr. Dre created with The Chronic has been mimicked to death on the east and south. Everyone saw G Funk and tried to get a piece. No shame in it, cause the music was dope but they'll never say it for whatever reason.
