Has the bay area contributed more to hip hop than any individual borough of New York?

Scarface pre-dates all the rappers you named. He's the true pioneer of that sound.

As I said, the south started it. It got more popular with Three 6, then broke through to mainstream with DMX, Beanie Sigel, and Gucci as I previously stated.

C-Bo is a west coast 'Face clone, and Lynch took the torch and ran all the way to the horror-core side, along with Tech-N9ne.

Cbo sounds nothing like scarface foh :what:

Doesn't matter if he sounds like him. He's a 'Face clone.

So every gangsta rapper that came after scarface is a clone foh:camby:

What about seagram is he a clone???

What about mc eiht is he a clone???

What about yukmouth after he went solo was he a clone of scarface???

It was a bunch gangsta rappers that came out around the same time as face that had impacts

Gangsta nip is really the godfather of horror core gangsta rap anyway if nikkas want to get technical:dame:

Just to add a few

-Mobb muzic influenced g funk.
-Too Short being the reason disrespecting bytches flagrantly is seen as a right of passage as a rapper and as a man:pachaha:
-bought you the black panthers as well as The Mack,meaning whether you were on the pro black militant side of the game in hiphop,or on the misogony and pimpin,you were influenced by the bay,your welcome:sas1:.
-Too Shorts "Freaky Tales" was the first rap song Future ever memorized,every Future clone owes Too Short gratitude,there may not be a Future without tht song.
-influenced Jay-Z more than the east coast did,what other game spittin east coast rappers you know who pop collars,and talk about pimpin and bein a player:sas2:...you hear Fushnickens,I hear Too Short and 40 water:wow:
-Lil B hate it or love it has influenced half this horrible generation of rappers musically,image wise,trolling wise:snoop:
-E-40 is the first real trap rapper and blueprint of many of todays trap artist,who while breaking down the drug game vividly,shouting out they plug by name like 40 used to shout out his "neighborhood chef Raul" who could clone chickens...not to mention 40 was also very goofy and comedic like much of todays trap rappers....plus trap muzic is basically modernized mobb muzic by way of the sound and the culture behind it....Theres a reason besides his own greatness that 40 is still relevant today,and its because ur favorite trap rappers were fans,and he fits in in this era because he practically created it:banderas:.


-Also yall love to talk about how influential Gucci Mane is but guess what,Zaytoven the producer who got him poppin is from the bay,and cites the bay legends as his influence...Gucci know aaaalll about the gawds.


i could keep goin all night on how Dru Downs hairstyle influenced Snoop to change his,and how Richie Rich literally influenced Snoops style coming from Snoop himself....but i think I'll just stop now,no need to embarrass my brothas out in NY:sas2:

But dont ever compare no bum azz Queens,Brooklyn,Long Island or wherever else to the damn Oasis of hiphop:childplease:...do yall lil nikkas must not know what an oasis is to be talkin this bullshyt yall talkin:mjlol:

its no secret hiphop died when the bay died,no otheer region was such a hotbed of inspiration:obama:

Oaktown...Bay Area
Bay Area legends:

GOAT
E40
Too Short
Mac Dre
Luniz
Rappin 4 tay
MC Hammer
etc

Their influence:
GOAT- Your fav rappers favorite rapper

E40- Slang and style. Started fuccin with the south before it was cool to do so. Make 9 figures before Jay z :mjpls:

Too Short- Independent album hustlin. Showd u aint need no major label to get on. Still has people BEGGING him for features in 2016

Mac Dre- 10 albums 6 years. Pioneered hyphy movement. Loved in hoods across the country despite never having big radio play.

Luniz- I got 5 on it. made the term hater popular which everyone uses.

Rappin 4 tay- Drake stealing his bars 20 years later to create a billboard hit

MC Hammer- First rapper to go diamond.


Bay Area influence as a whole:

-Started black panthers

-The first ones to sip lean

-Made sideshows/car events hot in the hood

-Dreads :mjpls:

-Made gold teeth popular

-Being an independent artist
yes and so much more. NY may have birthed HipHop but the bay made it better. Master P learned the hustle game around here. Then you have 2pac. You forgot Digital Underground hehe. We don't go through major labels unless we get major cash. It's a hustle here the best in the game.

Excuse me I know i said i was done but fukk that,think weve been humble enoug:sas1:

Heiroglyphics and Souls Of Mischief is Outkast biggest influence,how much has Oukast influenced ATL,the south?how many of your favorite rappers of today has Andre3000 influenced:jbhmm:

Hate to bring this up,but we know damn well Master P was a leech and living proof the bay is the oasis:mjcry:....Master P blew up and made a dynasty based on shyt he stole from the bay,Mystikal was being told he sounded like E-40,Silk obviously got that comparison:heh:,dont get me started on Ice Cream Man....P blew up which in turn opened the doors for Cash Money,and southern hiphop in general.

-Mac Dre cited as a inspiration on how many of these new nikkas records based on hyphy sound?

Waiting on that rebuttal from Queens,Harlem,anybody:sas1:....oh you aint got shyt to say now:pachaha:?
