West Coast beats have a lot in common with NY beats.

You don't think sampling, in any sense, whether it be Herc with the Merry Go Round, Marley Marl, or Dre replaying shyt, is s foundational characteristic?

G-funk and the old school ny beats didn't sound the same at all.

Sampling is part of hip hop, and a good thing but that doesn't mean if you don't sample you're not making rap music.

All I'm saying is when you define what rap really is you're limiting creativity. I want to see country singers, rock singers, trance, house music bring their elements to rap music because it will bring creativity yo the music.

Like Black Dot said who's from the golden era of new york music said. Mumbling rappers are moving rap music forward why because it's something new, its creative it's their own style. Like he said about J cole, Kendrick Lamar who I'm fans of their music is good but it's really nothing new I've heard it all before what they're saying.

Rakim is a basic ABC rapper
Future was never good, people got gassed when white teenagers accepted him and propelled him from astronaut to superstar status.
Gucci has legendary influence but his music has always been trash. Without his image nobody would care.
All the ¨new artists¨(Boogie,Don Q, Young M.A) from NYC are trash.
Nas has too many mediocre albums to be the GOAT ( Top 5 definitely)
Jigga and Bey make horrible music together.
Lil Yachty and Uzi are objectively shyt and are adored by white frat guys and anime nerds.
Lupe could've been the one but ended up as a preachy bitter cornball who sometimes flashes his greatness.
Mobb Deep fell of after 1996 ( Had a spark when you...)
Ghostface Killah isn't that good compared to RZA,GZA,Rae, Meth, Deck. He's entertaining though.

A lot of west coast rappers/albums are trash to me (like laughably garbage. For example kurupt) and I find it hilarious that they're best rapper is from NY and was named mc NY. shyt gotta be embarrassing :hhh: (but I fukk with e40:patrice: so who am I?)
Tupac is also hella overrated.

Funny seeing southerners front like they weren't and still are kinda laughing stock status (from fashion to rap). Side note, I fukk with southerners (I remember a chick telling me I had a southern demeanor :sadbron: ) heavy but the shyt I read on here be funny.

I'm gonna diss my own people's too lol.
Mobb Deep is overrated.
Ghost face is overrated
NY people love to steal styles if we like that shyt. I do think other regions do it but we don't give a fukk when we do it (and act like we invented the shyt:pachaha:.)

Oh yeah, I didn't forget about the Midwest. I just don't ever take them seriously (excluding Chicago.) Or even check for em like that.

Lupe Fiasco is one of the most overated rappers of all time. nikkahs hype everything this nikkah drop as if he's dropping a new Testament.

JayZ aint had a real good album since 07

Wayne been garbage since 2009

Kanye's MDATF was a good album but all of this "This album transitioned and changed the landscape of hip hop" talk is from cake nikkas

The Massacre is a better album than Get Rich or Die Trying

Ras Kass' Rassassination was one of the best albums from 98

hip hop is inherently sexist and misogynistic and i occasionally do feel bad for loving this genre. some of the songs/videos from these black men have been some of the most damaging forms of media for black females' self esteem.

Andre 3000 stupid overrated. Dumb overrated.

Jay electronica is a fraud

Max B was always trash

Computers by Bobby Shmurda was one of the best songs from NY in recent memory

Talib Kweli is trash

Earl Sweatshirt is the best lyricist right now in his 20's

People who think the government killed Tupac are dumbasses

That's a fact, but people sleep so hard on him. Honestly he's my favorite artist out right now. Can't wait until he drops another project.
