West Coast Rap DEAD? South & East Coast Takeover?

TheLostPreZ	Date: September 7, 2002 @ 8:56 PM http://abraham.dmusic.com" id="17776">Wassup ya'll, Im from Hayward, Ca. and I feel that the west coast isn't getting enough recognition or maybe were not as lyrical and hard as we used to be. Can anyone comment on this East Coast and South takeover and why the west coast is not getting any recognition? And my response is on my site "Westside will Rise" my latest track, hot and moving. I want everyone to throw them dubbs up again. Peace http://abraham.dmusic.com

starseven	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 1:09 PM its amasing how everything in our world has such a fine balance... nothig is ever good or bad... everything is always both .. it's just a matter of what you focus on,,, for example with biggie and 2-pac being killed,it made the hip hop genre realise that having a "east coast", and "west coast" is a really dumb thing...in my opionion the only real tallent from the west coast,and one of the major reason's there even was a weat coast sound,was Dr. dre..and i think he gave up on that whole thing long ago... now he;s to busy with eminem and all his other minions to really care ...i peronally never really cared to begin with...
Cryxan	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 3:32 PM Why does it matter which side of the country they're from? If the music's good, it's good. If it sucks, it sucks. I'm sure both coasts have their fair share of music that's good, crappy, and inbetween.
mtbatol	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 5:51 PM Dammit, I made a long ass post and it didn't save up here so here's my long typing again The west coast have their share of lyrically tight mc's with Xzibit and Rass Kass running things up there with The Gift of Gab from Blackalicious being my personal favorite and Crooked I perhaps being Suge's best chance at putting his label back into respectability. But with Outkast, Big Tymers, and Nelly & St. Lunatics crew (the later two whom are just complete garbage ) you have an area who seem to won alot of mainstream favoritism. And the already established east is pretty much a given in all the areas of rap as far as tight mc's, mainstream tight, mainstream garbage, etc. So what I guess I'm tryin to get at is that the west is up there with the east and midwest/south but the mainstream is giving more props to the later.
mtbatol	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 5:51 PM oh yeah, and tight track too
TheLostPreZ	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 6:24 PM Personally I really feel that being from the West Coast we don't see making music as fun, were out there for some cause to begin with and then trying to survive. The East and the South are just having loads of fun without any conscious on kind of music they wanna make. Alot of the South Samples alot of previously released music and the East is sounding more and more like the original sound of the Westcoast but getting more recognition...well anyway i just wonder when it will all fad out and the west will rise again. peace
nintendomaster	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 9:27 PM West coast rap is okay, and im not a fan of gansterrap, but i love new school and hip hop. I simply don't care about that coast thing.
JB-	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 9:47 PM i think that west coast rap is dead, because the few succesful rappers from the westside are dead, with the exception off snoop dogg and dr. dre, all other west coast music sucks, southern rap is off da chain, stuff like pastor troy, oomp camp, 3 6 mafia, outkast,ludacris... the dirty south runs this rap game, all you haters sit down southside lets ride
mtbatol	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 11:22 PM Ehh, how can you mention the south and not mention Scarface or Mad Skillz??
Wordsense	Date: September 8, 2002 @ 11:37 PM i dont clasify hip hop by coasts...that was the first mistake ever made...
TheLostPreZ	Date: September 12, 2002 @ 4:29 AM WESTCOAST WILL RISE AND NEVER BE DEFEATED...PAC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER...IN OUR MUSIC AND IN OUR MINDS...PEACE YA'LL AND GOD BLESS
dekand	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 5:39 PM how come you never hear rock bands talking about how west coast rock bands don't get the attention they need, because it doesn't matter. music is from all over the world, if the music deserves attention it will get it in due time, if its meant to be it will, we all have a destiny and some of us's is to be major artist, but not everyone... forget about coasts and worry about music. Tupac will live on forever, he's about the only rapper i ever listen to. peece
icisnizz	Date: September 16, 2002 @ 2:19 AM Why do people care about coasts?, is hip-hop so simplistic that people can relate to it as coasts...A coast has way too many artists to clasify it as a style...no coast makes bad music...west coast music will never die because people will keep being born... Some west coast artists I like are...Acyalone, Abrude, Zion I, Grouch, Eliegh, Sunspot, Awol One & People Under the Stairs. Don't recognize an artist by where they live but by wether or not their music appeals to you...Defining an artist by where they live makes no sence... just a thought.
