New York Rappers Get Catapulted Into Greatness With The Smallest Sample Size

[High quality poster]

As a 90s BK Kid, I see not see no lies told

As a 90s kid you need to SEE 1st grade English again and check that grammar

Its true. Someone posted the stats going over the 40 year history of rap and nyc had by far the most.

I'm sayin tho bro u from Philly. I'm from NY born and raised. I remember clearly. the hate was nowhere near significant enough for these nikkas to consistently have a chip on they shoulder. honestly THEY are more region biased even till this day.

philly was bad. and it was worse in new york.

just cuz some out-of-towners had records that broke on our respective radio stations, it doesnt mean dudes werent biased.

you may not have been biased personally, but we cant pretend that the atmosphere on the east coast, especially new york wasnt filled with bias.

and yes, these other regions need to come to grips with the fact that theyre biased as well.

 

[Wacky D]

one of the greatest of all time when it comes to wordplay and metaphors

you talkin about e-40?

this chit is getting too bizarre.

He does not get too much credit. Name one rapper considered to be all-time great that does not consider Rakim to be one of their biggest, if not their biggest influence. There aint one. He influenced EVERYBODY.

well for starters, theres a gang of all-timers who preceded rakim, who rakim looked up to.

which basically illustrates my point.

for instance, alot of stuff rakim gets credited for was already being done by kool moe dee & others an entire 2 eras before rakim even stepped on the scene.

I'm starting to notice the agenda on this site, if you from the south and rap about basically nothing you good, while NY rappers with actual classics get shytted on, how is a thread like this even serious.

While I don't like someone like 50s music much nowadays, he honestly deserves a lot of props for birthing this mixtape era. Without him paving the way on the underground mixtape circuit, then transitioning into a major star, nikkas like Lil Wayne, future, Drake, Cole etc ain't where they at now.

NY rappers get toooo much hate, yall envy us tho.

You could put together a top 10 greatest of all time list, and all those artist could legitimately be NY artist. We just GOAT nikka.

Don't sweat these nikkas. It's a lot of us on here. Just a waste of time to reply to these type of threads all the time.

Its really sad how much new york on the minds of other regions. Yall have serious complexes. Napolean ass dudes mad the bum in their local project dontbget the shine dudes who stand out in THE MECCA do.

like I said tho bro. I'm not denying bias. but nikkas act like they was just straight shytted on and hated on. when we was no more bias then they were.

i'd say the east was more biased. maybe not by a huge margin but yea, the east took the cake.
on the flipside, in current times, the south is the most biased region now, which is why i laugh when southerners complain about bias on here.

but yea, there was less-resistance to foreign artists on other coasts, as opposed to the resistance that the east coast showed. funkmaster flex is still waving his flag to this day.

see. but thats what I'm saying. it was only a few cats who was truly on that hatin shyt. and u named one of em. and guess what?. just like u said. he still on that bullshyt. but from a street perspective. for the most part. if the shyt was dope. nikkas fukked wit it. nikkas favorites was NY artists for the most part but u gotta think about the shyt. NY and East Coast damn near singlehandedly holds down all time lists. and rightfully so. we the mecca of the shyt so majority of the greatest comes from here. that don't mean nikkas was on some straight up hater shyt like the south tries to say.

 

[Animal House]

Oh ok there must a rapper you like who doesn't get the shine and universal praise you would like them to have

 

[The War Report]

Big L's 1st album is a classic. fukk what anyone says.



And how is BIG not the GOAT when he was better than Jay?

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

They were just as biased out here on the west coast/cali in the 90s and especially after pac/death row and Westside connection started throwing shots at the east. The only difference is there weren't DJ's like Flex jumping into it out here that I can recall.

I was a huge Mobb deep fan back then and they were like the most hated rap group over here after pac dissed them.

The south and Midwest always got love out here tho.

I don't remember that at all. I was in the Bay.
