Was Atlanta influenced by the West Coast in the early 1990's

Only thing really similar about Snoop was the laid back conversational flow.

Doggystyle is literally a Great Adventures interpolation album with G Funk beats

I also find it funny how some foreign brehs who are always complaining when AAs comment on their culture always gravitate to these threads

Only thing on Doggystyle that was like Great Adventures was the remake of Lodi Dodi breh

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

You mean mostly AAs

Yeah of course. Vast majority of our history was down south until the great migration, thats like 3 or 4 generations.

I think outer influences factor as well.

Take Chicago for example. Been having Black folks in heavy numbers since the 20’s just like NYC yet they still seem “country”. But it makes sense when you have decades of hyper segregation with a strictly Southern AA population, compared to NY where you have a Southern AA population mixing into a native Northern population, plus West Indians, Latinos, etc.

I see a kinda similar thing happening out west in the present. IMO there’s a big difference in the generation that was coming out the South or just a generation removed who grew up in majority Black neighborhoods compared to the younger generations who grow up in more mixed neighborhoods nowadays.

Also west coast “cities” werent OD industrial like NYC. I could be wrong but most stories about people going out west outside of for opportunity it seemed like having land was an benefit.

Weather aside, West Coast Midwest and south (well hub cities like ATL) were places blacks could live that suburban house and yard lifestyle. NYC didnt really have that outside of like Queens?

Idk i could be wrong

Not sure what you hearing. Even Snoop would tell you who fathered him

Why do y'all always assume the whole Northeast is like NYC?

The main reason folks went to the mid west was for industrial jobs. You think cats were moving to Eerie, PA and Lansing, MI for the suburban lifestyle?

 

[1/2 Man 1/2 Hennessy]

Yes but the real connection is Louisiana/East Texas music and Cali music

 

[im_sleep]

Even the aesthetic which I never really thought about :

Right.

Idk about the braids or the clothing part, first time I’ve heard that, but that funk sound that everyone associates with the west was definitely Midwest derived.

The closest thing I’d say that the west had to an “original” sound was that 1950’s R&B sound(T-Bone Walker, Johnny “Guitar” Watson, Charles Brown, etc) which was basically an extension of the Blues coming out of East Texas and Louisiana.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Scarface thought he was in Cali when he made this

You could definitely hear the Cube influence

Aint no houses in manhattan like that. You can get a house and have a yard in all those places you named. Industrialized probably isnt the right word I was looking for.
