bone never got their credit for bars on the east coast until recent years, and thats only because most of these lil dudes running with their style on the radio these days cant rap.
east coast even tried to hi-jack the style, claiming that biggie took the style to another level with his sloppy ass verse on notorious thugs.
all while ignoring how bizzy bone had the best verse on the track by far.as far as being loved, i'd say it was 40% loved, 40% well-liked, 20% hated/disregarded on the east coast. and nowadays, its like they never existed.
old 50 wasnt any better lyrically.
he was just more raw.
which again proves the point. he would just be another raw hardcore midwest rapper that nobody cares about outside of missouri & the bay.
THIS
they werent even doing that chit here in philly, and thats the east coast.
i mean, philly DJs did jump on his dikk all of a sudden when GRODT was about to drop. not so much before that. but yea, when GRODT hit, he had a few album cuts in heavy mix-show rotation along with a few mixtape cuts in heavy ro along with it, which is alot of play indeed. BUT this whole album on the radio stuff is just some new york chit.
@spliz sometimes thinks that if it happened in new york, it happened everywhere.
nah.
jarule was the most hated in the game BEFORE 50 cent took the beef mainstream.
i predicted that jarule would be one of the few guys to take a career fall from a rap beef, cuz he had no core fanbase to fallback on, but was poppin mad chit in interviews. i thought DMX was gonna be the one to take him down.
the combination of that, along with 50 cent being the next big thing & the lopsided media coverage of the beef thanks to interscope's machine is what killed jarule off.
notice, thats really the only rap beef that 50 cent really won.
12 pages in, and youre still missing the point TIP was trying to make.
wait, are we acting like 50 cent's hits werent mostly pop-friendly records??
you up here acting like 50 cent was on some DMX chit, and this was right after @JustCKing shut all that talk down.
btw, nelly's 1st two songs were mega-hits with lower quality videos shot str8 in the middle of the hood, while 50 cent was on some green-screen chit with eminem & dr dre holding his hands.
he definitely had his own impact outside of dre & eminem. i agree that it gets downplayed at times.
but he wouldnt have been doing nelly numbers without them. not even close.
have you actually listened to country grammar??
its mostly a street album homie.
the country grammar single itself that blew him up, is essentially a street record as well.
I know he's hated right now, but Kanye would have something to say on that
kanye's crossover celebrity is greater. thats about it.
in terms of str8 musical success, kanye falls behind nelly, bone thug, and does eminem count??

I will NEVER try to tell u what the fukk Philly nikkas was doin cause I’m not from there. U STAY overcompensating to seem “unbiased”. It’s clown shyt. I don’t know what the fukk y'all nikkas thought in Philly but please stop speaking on NYC cause u don’t know the climate here and it’s been proven time and time again U don’t know what the fukk u be talkin bout when it comes to this city.bone never got their credit for bars on the east coast until recent years, and thats only because most of these lil dudes running with their style on the radio these days cant rap.

no your post dosent make any sense.
My post makes perfect sense T.I. is a trap rapper. He makes trap music. All because he has one song per album for women does not change that. Every rapper has a song for the ladies..
This does not change the fact that DMX is a gangsta rapper
what was the last trap song ti made?
You clearly don’t even listen to him or never really have, that’s what most of his criticism comes from, him getting away from his signature sound on his 4th-5th album.
