Whats Wrong With Being Regionally Biased?

[SELASI_i]

Bruh do You feel guilty for liking what you like or something? That's the beauty of this shit you can choose. Choose wisely my nigga.

When all else fails, them units aint moving and those shows are empty as fuck that regional bias bullshit goes out the window and you hating mothafuckas will jump on whatever the latest trend and fad is. Yall have been irrelevant since 50s era (who ironically found success using the same west coast sound that yall spent the previous decade hating on) b/c you clowns fad hop from trend to trend trying 2 put a NY face on something that isn't yours. Thats how you end up with a decade plus worth of bums like Mims. Yall talk all that shit about "regional bias" but when its all said and done the only NY artist that have done real numbers over the past 20 years have used southern, mid west and west coast producers, concepts and ideas.

New York ran the table for 25+ years.

I honestly think rap/Hip Hop has run out of ideas. Every so-called hot rapper sounds alike. They use the same beats and rap about the same subject matter.

Having said that, they're building a Hip Hop museum in Harlem and they've been changing street names in The Bronx to honor the pioneers.

I dont think anything until people start getting bitter. Thats a bad emotion to hold on too but even worse when they start trying to spread negativity about music. It just causes some to feel a way that a certain region has had such a run. It is what it is and sometimes I get it. But again it is what it is people can like what they like but once people go overboard trying to hate on success, or just on what somebody else likes, then thats fckboy status at that point. It just be emotions.

Growing up in the Midwest, I really didn't have this problem. If something was dope, I listened to it.

I never had the attitude of "I'm only going to listen to the Midwest style of fast rap (Tech N9ne, Twista, Bone) and just Common, Nelly, Lupe Fiasco, etc."

I think a lot of people back home had this same mindset, although I remembered people favoring LA West Coast, Bay Area and Down South music, in addition to the Midwest. If an East Coast song was hot, people had no problem playing it.

Personally, my all-time record collection contains albums from all regions.

After high school, I went to college in the South and met people from all over the country. And from my observance, it was mostly the East Coast people being regionally biased when it came to music. You could like 100 Biggie songs, but if you wasn't feeling one - all of a sudden you're wack and know nothing about Hip-Hop. LOL!!!

Midwest was rockin wit dipset way more then ny… an you rite tha east coast is bias af specially these 90 mfs

That's why nobody fucks they hating ass. The south, west and midwest always been down. Bone went to LA and got down with Ruthless, Snoop went to NOLA and got down with P, $hort came to Atl and linked up Lil' John, Da' Brat was on SoSo Def, Ball and G made hits with 40 and Mac Mall, T.I. made hits with Daz and Kanye, Face was spittin' with Pac and Cube, so forth and so on. P was putting out the Down South Hustlers and the West Coast Bad Boyz. E 40 put out the Southwest Riders and all that shit was going hard. Psycho Drama was on Suave House, Do or Die was on Rap A Lot, Mac was on No Limit, etc. We never had any beef. But at one time or another all of these different regions had to deal with these envious, mad ass haters from the east and their bullshit "regional bias".

So you're saying NY rappers don't collaborate with rappers from other regions? What are you trying to say?

He's trying to say when ny had the ball they ain't share court or picked ppl from other regions but now the south kicked ny off tha court and took tha ball now it's a problem because mfs ain't let in ya play so ya yell hip hop is dead while tip was still going plat… an wats tha problem wit tha south music when most ny shit was party abc lyrics till philly and psk brought that gangsta shit out that's why juice crew and ll never responded 2 cool c… an don't sit here an say well they was 2 big 2 pay attention and like bro said ny ain't been hot since 50cent and he in no way had a ny formula except tha way he dressed

So basically its ok for people from The South to be regionally biased, but when New York/East Coast cats are regionally biased its a problem?

It's not right for either to be regionally biased....just new York cats are the most annoying about it with the worst excuses.....south is catching up tho with all the BS they push that's actually garbage

that's where youre wrong. the south has never been regional biased. we dont have a 30 year history of envy, jealousy and hate. you do. yo ass is just mad that lil' brother took your ball and ran your bitch ass off the court. being mad and getting stuck in your feelings wont change the fact that your shit aint selling and the game that you created has passed you by. if you wouldnt have spent the last 3 decades hating on everybody and tearing your brothers down you wouldnt be stuck in this artistic death spiral.

game recognized game and the south, the west and the mid west linked up, shared ideas and collectively turbocharged our mutual creative processes. you bastards on the other hand doubled down on your regional bias bullshit, kept hating and helplessly watched as the south, the west and the mid west passed your ass by. like pimp c said it's your own fault your shit aint selling.

@ the bolded.

No I'm not mad about anything. I'm confused, or bewildered why you @skpjr78 are so bent out of shape that you're making ad hominem attacks when everybody else is calm, relaxed and cordial.

Anyway, the best MCs of all time, the GOATS, are overwhelmingly from NYC: Jay Z, Nas, Biggie, Wu Tang, Killah Priest, LL Cool J, Dougie Fresh, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Slick Rick, Rakim, KRS One, Chuck D, Run DMC, De La Soul, Brand Nubian, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz, Kurtis Blow, Spoonie G, MC Lyte, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Eve, Jean Grae, Remy Ma, Jadakiss, StylesP, Sheek Louch, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, DMX, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Camron, Big L, Ma$e, Fabulous, Fat Joe, Big Pun, Pharaoh Monch, Prodigy, Guru, Sean Price, Buckshot, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Busta Rhymes, Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, AZ, Immortal Technique, Papoose, Kid Cudi, A$AP Rocky, Joey Badass, Dave East, Troy Ave, Desiigner, Young M.A. and the list goes on.

I just named 50+ MCs from NYC that were all the GOATS of their era and have classic albums and classic singles. If I wanted to I could add Redman, Black Thought and Lauryn Hill but they're not really from NYC.

Bottom line, the MCs from The East/NYC are superior to Southern and West Coast rappers.

We get it, you guys like 808 sub-bass. But thats no excuse for MCs that rap about the same thing over and over again... or worse, mumbling over 808s and hi hats.

Those 808s and hi hats are played out. Time for something new.

Go off, @skpjr78 bitch! You better read @"5 Grand"'s grumpy bitter ass into eternal oblivion!
