Also even if West Coast or to a greater extent Southern albums don't get the
Geto Boys put them on the map regionally, but OutKast were big enough to make waves across the country and make people wake up to the South, and Atlanta in particular.
I also love Liquid Swords over any South album, over any album ever, anywhere...hah
I disagree about Soul Food, but it's whatever as to it being a classic. I see the argument. It's nowhere near GOAT level though.
Geto Boys put the South on the map. Shout out to Luke too.
I'll take Liquid Swords over any album from the South, easily, but this thread isn't about my opinion.

Wtf is that comment above what I quoted? I never typed that...
How when I still listen to the shyt, got a playlist full of No Limit classics on my phone right now
P got crazy props in the 90s for "what he did" which I assume is a reference to selling records cause none of those fast food microwave popcorn albums held up.
fukk you know about some No Limit, old dusty ass east coast obsessed white boy
RZA, 2pac & Nas were all listening to Geto Boys when they dropped Grip it on that level in '89...none of them are from the South.
Mind Playin Tricks On Me was a HUGE crossover hit.
Face/Geto Boys were the #1 rapper/group in my city from about 89-96...and rap-a-lot was the most popular label and i'm from an east coast city...if they were "regional" how would all this be possible?

Thank you!
Thank you.
You're just listing good to great albums from the west coast. Some, like the Twinz album aren't even good (and I had the cassette in 95). There's probably 100-200 classic albums period. The lions share are from the east. What do you think there are 500 classic hip hop albums?
Since you think all 35 or so albums you've listed are classics. And about maybe ten are. List me 35 great west coast albums that aren't classics.
These fukkin biased ass basement rats are delusional
Ironically, nearly all of the albums you listed were blatantly influenced by late 80's/early 90's West Coast Hip Hop.In the early 90's, West Coast Rap topped the charts. Early 90's East Coast Rap was conscious Native-Tongues Jazz Rap (i.e. ATCQ, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Gang Starr, Main Source) and Afrocentric political Rap (X-Clan, Public Enemy, Brand Nubian, Intelligent Hoodlum). The whole East Coast resurgence of the mid 90's was influenced by West Coast Gangsta Rap. The only real notable hardcore rappers who talked about gangsta shyt on the East Coast before about 93' were Schooly D in the early 80's, KRS-One on one album Criminal Minded and Kool G. Rap. And yes, all of the albums you listed delve into subject matter almost strictly revolving around the underworld of ghetto gangsterism and crime except for the Main Ingredient. The East Coast invented Hip Hop as an alternative activity to help stop the violence that was rampant in the streets of the Bronx in the 70's and early 80's. West Coast Rap was always more of an uncensored ghetto documentary. East Coast rappers didn't even curse in the 80's and early 90's.
Can't lie, this is true.
The east coast strike back with excessive cursing and the like to get at the west coast records in the mid 90s. They even had that melodic vibe to their singles back then, with spitting hard 16s.

@Iron Chin Wilder i see what you're saying fair play
You might know better than me tbh, was Kast's impact as big or nah? Genuine question.
