Why are the vast majority of all hip-hop haters centralized on the east coast??????

[Midwest_Journalist]

wut it comes down to is little tolerance for Whack... when I began to listen rap beginning in 83'

what did rappers talk about? how much better their skills where than the next man, fact!

every song was about the next man biting their style, sucker mc's , whack mc's, beating other lame mc's at battles, etc

in the 90s when rap was going to other regions, we gave props to Ice T , Ice Cube, etc

but when E40 dropped "Sprinkle me" , (it was too much go peep that song), people here gonna call it as they see it, and say its whack and people misconstrued that for "hating".

even today I saw a video on Youtube bloods and crips "banging on wax".. I thought these dudes was whack as fuck, is that hating just for having an opinion?

East coast dudes hated Ice Cube. Even after the Bomb Squad produced his first album which was a fucking CLASSIC east coast dudes were still hating. Cube was a "bama" and a jheri curl rapper to them. Even with PE at their peak and Cube using their production team he still couldn't get love in NYC. How often did you see a Cube video or a non east coast artist on Rap City back then? Not very.

Miss me with the revisionist history bullshit. Some of us were actually around during that era and still remember what happened back then. Tell that bullshit to the millennials who dont know any better. Real dudes from the 90s know what really happened.

And btw "Sprinkle Me" and the entire In A Major Way album was a classic everywhere outside of NYC.

I never understood why New York cats would consider someone from LA, the second largest city in the country, a "Bama." LOL.

I remember in college a Brooklyn, NY dude complaining about his "Bama-ass" roommate and the dude was from the Southside of Chicago !!!!!!!!

Lol Too be fair Chicago niggas sound really country

A lot of Chicago people have roots from Mississippi and a few other Southern states, so that's where it probably comes from - LOL!

But a lot of New York dudes got some funny sounding accents too.

 

[Midwest_Journalist]

Is the dislike for NY by some posters from other regions of the country considered hating?

Personally, being from the Midwest, I got love for all regions. But back in the day (late 80s, 90s) it felt like NY wasn't showing love, when everyone was showing it to them. So when you see someone from your backyard is not getting respect for putting out classic music just because they're not from New York or New Jersey, there's going to be a little resentment.

Take Outkast for example. They got booed at the Source Awards and had a Dope Album !!!! And they wasn't fucking with anyone.


But today, everybody is showing love to each other for the most part. I went to a HBCU in the South (graduated in the early 2000s) and a lot of people enjoyed Jay-Z, 50 Cent.

The love was always there and still is .... although I had to put a few NY dudes in check before. They hear the "Kansas" in Kansas City and think I'm a bitch or something. I miss college - LOL!

17% of the playlist was west coast hip hop artist meaning they were ignored 83% of the time. Thanks for proving my point.

 

[skpjr78]

Snoop was the only hip hop artist to have a top 10 selling album in 1994 but according to that list he wasn't even top 10 in spins on hot 97.

http://www.billboard.com/articles/6259342/1994-vs-2014-top-selling-albums-comparison

Smh at Scarface dropping the Diary, Common dropping Resurrection and Outkast dropping SouthernPlayalistic all in 1994 but none of them being in the top 30 spins on hot 97. Double smh at Outkast winning new artist of the year for SouthernPlayalistic and getting booed at the Source Awards in NYC the next year. Triple smh at NYC being Outkast biggest dick riders 20 years later.

If Cube wasnt getting any love like you said, how is it possible that he's in rotation on the radio station?

B/c he was moving units. Even in the music hater capitol of the world moving units still meant something. In this case it meant a top 5 mc got less spins than 2 In A Room whoever the fuck that is. Smh at that bullshit getting more love than one of the best to ever do it. Than yall wonder why Cube was dropping shit like this.....

No they werent b/c yall shit sucked. We weren't felling that shit down here either. We listened to it, we gave it a chance but the west was just better at that time as evidenced by albums sales that year.

There was a reason that Snoop was the only hip hop artist in top 10 album sales that year. Him, Death Row and the entire west coast were in the midst of the takeover and they did it with a near total blackout from an entire coast. A coast that's home to the nation's largest population centers at that. Even with that Snoop and the west still dominated record sales and thats b/c him and his team were simply better. That shit just cant be denied.

Yo talk about a hypocrite...lol....Since you dont know 2 in a Room were big on the Hip House shyt....The Rican and Dominican chicks use to love them cats...But I'm gon let this shyt rock....Its cool to hate the east but a crime when the east does the same thing...Iight homie gotcha.....I showed you that along with East rap, R&B, Reggae and some other shyt a few Westcoasts acts were in rotation after you said some bullshyt.....lol...

This thread needs to be remade with actual quotes from rappers/posters

Fuck i care about some weak ass hip house. Cube is a top 5 mc. One of the best from anywhere to ever do it at anytime. What type of so called "hip hop head" gonna put some bullshit like that over one of the greatest mc's to ever breath on a mic? Fuck kinda bullshit is that???????

This is Ice Cube we're talking about. He wrote Fuck The Police and No Vaseline. He gave us Death Certificate and The Predator. And he showed us how to beat these cacs at their own game in the board room. He is one of the most influential people in the history of hip hop. You cant write the history of hip hop without doing a chapter, a very long chapter, on Oshea Jackson. And somehow you put 2 in a fucking room over a certified legend and justify that bullshit getting more spins in the nation's largest media market on a hip hop radio station?!?!?!? Smmfh. You cant be fucking serious?????

Back in 1994 not only did every region have there unique style, in NYC every neighborhood had their own style of slang, dress attitude. Nowadays every up and coming NY rapper sounds like every up and coming LA, Chicago, Atlanta rapper.

This is true, even though damn near the whole game doing the same thing I must admit.

I kinda feel bad for NY. They need to get some of their credibility back, I still jam some of the older artist but they need to go back to the drawing board and re-invent without trying to replicate what was hot 20 years ago and riding waves of other regions.

Houston going through the same thing as we speak as far as mainstream goes. We still got our legends but this new breed putting out music with the exception of a few is dumpster juice.

ATL got everybody beat for the woat new rappers. Evey scene peaks and eventually falls off. The bay went from Spice 1, $hort, E-40, Pac, etc to that hyphy shit. I thought they had the worst fall off of any region until these cross dressing homos gave the A a permanent black eye. My city will never live young thug down. Even the goats like Cee Lo and Stacks was on that bullshit for a minute smh. I call it like I see. NYC stay hating but ATL has the worst hip hop scene in the nation.

 

[smp4life]

It's not just hip-hop. NY thinks they have the best of everything. They come out to cali and complain about everything from the speed of the elevators, to the pizza, to the bagels, etc... It's just how they are.

Say what you will about Young Thug cross dressing, the fact is alot of people are feeling the new mix and the dress is a new meme. Go to reddit or SA and mad people have his cover with different color dresses as AV. Yeah its mostly white nerds but guess who is buying rap these days?

The problem with NY/up-north is what new rappers are spitting better than the Greats? I don't mean buzzing with a single. I mean have a style thats better than Nas, Redman, Ghostface Killah, Methodman, Raekwon etc. There was a time I would say Saigon and Papoose where an evolution of that platform but they didn't show and prove. Now you have Joey, A$AP dudes, Underacheivers, Flatbush Zombies, Desiigner all over that 808 trap sound despite lyricism and conciousness being present but no Lupe's.

But one thing is for certain, up and coming Westcoast and NY rappers have more versatility. They can hop on a boom bap or dancehall beat and not sound out of place like many downsouth midwest mumble mouths.

Being from the tri-state around that time, Video Music Box with Ralph McDaniels was more of the go to show than Rap City to a certain extent. And to his credit, he played videos from everywhere.

 

[reverend_al]

every region should play mostly its own local artists , just like sports if Im watching the tv I should see and support the local team.

btw why the rest of the country so hurt and obsessed about who NY play on THEIR radio, NY never start crying about where they were and weren't getting play!

Do your own thing and get your own shine. Worry about putting your city on the map rather than worry about how NYC feel about your city.

 

[EmM HoLLa.]

People from the East prefer east coast music.. People from the west prefer west coast music.. People from the south prefer southern music.. With some exception of course.. Doesn't mean anyone type is better than the other.. It's all about preference..

Now close this thread and quick the region bashing.. That shit is old..
