Queens is by far the best borough in NYC for the music and the culture, denying Oakland's large footprint in the rap game doesn't make your argument stronger though. Oakland is literally 1/9th the size of Queens but the footprint is more like 1/3
The Bay isn't fukking with neighborhoods or specific projects in New York City let alone an entire borough
Our jects got legends too, as far as talent produced frankly I'd take the El Pueblo jects over any project in New York not named Queensbridge.

Excuse me I know i said i was done but fukk that,think weve been humble enoug
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
Hate to bring this up,but we know damn well Master P was a leech and living proof the bay is the oasis....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
,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....oh you aint got shyt to say now
?

The footprint might be 1/3 to you
But I rarely listen to anything west coast
I find most of it corny
And if you're claiming it's influencing the whole country then it's having a negative feedback
90% of all rap right now is wack to me
Regardless of region
Maybe I'm just getting old tho

Real talk though shout out to the Moe, produced way more dope artists/legends (artist side AND business side) and good music in general than your average hood
