Why are East Coast Rappers so bland and boring?

[HafBayked]

just a reflection of the surroundings imo....but its some boring niggas from everywhere....shit if u wanna be real im a boring ass nigga to some

As an East coast nigga, I agree. East coast music got boring, especially now. I think what happened was around like 98 rappers stopped focusing on music and stuck to silly shit like beefing and publicity stunts. Meanwhile, Midwest and the South (not so much west cept Dre) kept bringing interesting sounds to the game. Then in like 03 you see East coast trying to emulate them sounds (especially 50 inadvertently sounding southern). The east lost their identity, now everything up here sounds southern/techno. But DC does have that gogo wave, if anyone fucks with that.

overrating of punchline raps. that shit killed a whole crop of mc's on the east coast. and none of them could make good albums.

Its a generational thing, it seems. Like these older MCs think that you gotta rap on a Premo beat if you are worth a damn. Premo makes good beats, but some of his beats that younger heads consider boring since it is not on a blaring 808 club beats. And in 2012, there is good music poppin off from younger artists everywhere but the East Coast.

Eeast coast rappers have NO IDENTITY

when you think of a southern rapper you have an idea of what he would look and sound like

when you think of a WC rapper you have a general idea of what he would look and sound like

WHEN YOU THINK OF AN EAST COAST MC??????????????? uhhhhhhhh? i dunno?

they have 0 identity

Agree,

Being from the east coast you used to know what the east coast sound was. Now we trying to sound like everywhere else and not where they are from. To some it sounds boring but to cats out here it is what we are used to.

it sounds like you're describing a phenomenon known to the rest of the world as "diversity"

but i guess to you "identity" means everybody shares the same one in order to make it easier on lazy consumers.

Its funny because the soutern niggas keep talking about new york.....which is one city on the east but dont check their dirty laundry at all.

Ross has 2 mid atlantic/east coast niggas on his staff blowing up the biggest

Meek: west phili

Wale: DC/pg county/dmv

Then lets look at every city in the south right now

Atlanta=Gimmick rappers mostly 1 hit wonders

YC: Where is he now?

Future: Tony montana one hit wonder/mixtapes are over rated

Roscoe Dash: while a 2012 freshman he has one standalone hit

Waka: c'mon son

Gucci: c'mon son

Miami:

Rick Ross: great scout for beats and talent music is alright

.........................................nobody else in hip hop

Houston:

No new relevant rappers around please check back in 6 months

New Orleans:

Wayne: Hes trash

Jay Electronica: awesome rapper academically inelligible to be called a rapper not enough content lately

and so on.............................

I used to fuck with so much southern music back in the day now its minimal cause there is minimal talent there just like any other region struggling
