nikka there’s a bunch of wrong release dates on the internet of this album. There’s even sites that say it was released in 1975. Some that say 1976. Some that say 1981. Smh.No nikka since you dumb.

Blowfly - Rapp Dirty / Blowfly's Rapp
See “Rapp Dirty” as u know it is a recut from 1980 of Blowfly’s Rapp when hip hop started getting popular. Song was redone into what u hear now. There’s no REAL evidence he did that song earlier. Read this.

What’s happening for Blowfly is a bunch of rewriting of history. So all the dates. Albums all kinda shyt is all jumbled up now cause of it.

Lots of revisionist of history going on in this thread. 
NY was in some elitist bullshyt from the late 80s to the mid 90s especially but not limited to the industry.
I remember NY cats showing ass when they started migrating down to ATL

this is some of the realest shyt i ever seen posted here....
i can attest to this because i didn't really embrace SOUTHERN MUSIC and culture till about 98
i moved down south around 96 and was strictly on my east coast shyt
even prior to that....i would always visit my aunt and spend summers here but was ANTI-SOUTH ....
i would bring my KISS FM..WBLS tapes with Marley Marl , Red Alert and Pete Rock to give me a sense of what seemed like "real music" and culture to me
i was so east coast..i almost got into a fight a cousin from here in the south..cause as we was riding out in my whip to school i told him if it ain't from the 5 boros i don't wanna hear it...and he said well if it ain't from the bay area (he was a big too short and mobbin music fan) he was gonna whip my azz and take my whip
crazy times....but slowly but surely i took the time to actually listen to the music and fell in love with it...
it had to be the Goodie Mob lp's both releases that got me first aquainted to realize BLACK MUSIC IS BLACK MUSIC regardless where it comes from as long as it was good
then finally being of age to go to clubs and seeing them beautiful black women from FLA bootyshaking to the hard bass sounds of uncle luke..magic mike and poison clan DEFINITLY GOT ME OPEN
and more tolerant and less ignorant .....and i must say really made life more pleasent for me....
i truly think RADIO PROGRAMMING was to blame for it....i noticed that when i got a internship at a small AM radio station in south carolina that broadcasted to georgia as well...
and realized it's these "OUTSIDERS" i.e (white radio consultants) programming which region gets to hear certain records and which doesn't
even the distributors where that way....it was hard as fukk to find a Ultramagnetic MC's release in the south record shops
just like it was equaly hard to find a Ghetto Mafia lp in NYC in the north record shops
these "culture vultuers" had us divided.....
and it shouldnt have been that way considering we ALL WERE FAMILY in a literal sense as well...
DJ SCRATCH of NYC is a cousin to DJ MAGIC MIKE of Orlando Florida
MC Shy D of Atlanta was related to Afrika Bambatta of the Bronx
we lost alot of creative exchanges due to these dumb azz regional differences promoted by corporate execs and willie lynch like outsiders
and its sad its still being perpetrated on this board
Funny you mention the Bay, because outside th mainstream, the Bay and Down South been collaborating since the 90's. Master P started No Limit in the Bay in the early 90's, soaked the independent hustle there and went back to New Orleans and blew up there later.
But there are so many West Coast/Down South collab albums, particularly Bay-Down South collabs. Bay nikkas used to travel to New Orleans and ATL all the time. Too $hort and Ant Banks originally relocated to the A in the 90's. JT the Bigga Figga out there too. There is a huge market for Bay rap in the Midwest too. Kansas City is like the second biggest market for Bay rap. Young nikkas say Bay rap sound like Detroit rap, but Too $hort made the blueprint for the Bay sound in like 1985.
In my opinion, the only region that tends to keep to themselves and hate on other regions a lot is the East Coast. I remember Too $hort said "you say I'm weak because I don't sell records in the East" and E-40 said the East Coast was the only region where his music sold poorly and Biggie outright said E-40 and Spice 1 were wack. And the East Coast is more dependent on the mainstream machine to push their music moreso than any other region. The East Coast don't support an unsigned underground artist unless he has 2002 50 Cent mixtape buzz, period. I don't what it is about the East Coast. And individual East Coast cities tend not even like each other. DC nikkas call anyone who ain't from DC a bama. But NY stayed hating on the West and the South, while over time, emulating the rap and culture from both places.
The whole NY hardcore movement of the mid 90's was basically NY doing its own version of West Coast early 90's Gangsta rap. 2000's to present NY rap is blatantly influenced by the South. Lets not even start how NY has copied LA gang culture while not admitting it. 
yeah i had to mention the Bay ...because so many of my southern friends and family members were rocking to BAY AREA music....as opposed to EAST COAST NYC HIP HOP
and it wasn't a HATE thing....
it was simply CULTURAL PARRALELS ...
for example BAY AREA artists like Too Short...and all those bay area artists made good CAR MUSIC...and the INDPENDENT SPIRIT as well...because SOUTHENERS AND WEST COAST BLACKS didn't have the access to CORPORATE WALL STREET that these MAJOR LABELS offered in manhattan...
it was a do it yourself BE YOUR OWN BOSS mentality here and in the bay area
but most importantly it was the MUSIC.....west coast and the south shared a greater creative affinity
in the SOUTH thier was and still is a big car culture.....you had to have that BASS beating out those 12 INCH WOOFERS...in them Chevy dunks and other classics Buicks , Monte Carlos and Lacs here in the south....
to compliment that "pimped out" ride which is why the live instrumentation played a part as well.....
don't get me wrong...now the south did FUKK WITH THE EAST COAST heavy in some aspect but it was related to how the BEATS were mostly..
when i first started visiting the south...southerners LOVED RUN DMC....WHODINI AND EPMD..cause they made good FUNKY SONGS FOR THE WHIP...
but for the most part for myself yeah i'll admit i was the typical EAST COAST head hating on other regions
as an east coast transplant i couldnt releate at first..simply cause I DIDN'T HAVE A FUKKING CAR i grew up on mass transporatation and i didn't have any BYATCHES EITHER...
which is why most of my music was DARK..LYRICAL and only good for HEADPHONES and the BOOM BOX...(onyx...lord finesse...ultramagnetic..jvc force)
it wasn't until i got MY OWN CAR ..that i was able to ADAPT to the SOUTHERN/BAY AREA connection sound....as well as the "PLAYA" aspect cause now i had better access TO WOMEN....
and just like any man YOU PLAY WHAT THE HOES LIKE
BOUNCE MUSIC...MIAMI BASS..GANGSTA RAP....
but at the end of the day..the west and south had a connection which kinds of alienates NYC which might explain the tension
and OUTKAST was one of those that made that connection well as a good example
