Can't lie, this is true. :ohhh:

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.

Yup. Albums like Ready to Die played front to back like West Coast albums. :upsetfavre: From the hardcore tracks to the singles which were essentially G-Funk records. Yes, "Big Poppa" and "Juicy" were essentially G-Funk records. Who outside of Cali was sampling Mtume in the early 90's? The whole player vibe Biggie commercialized was in debt to the Bay (i.e. Too $hort, Mac Mall, Pac). Dre Dog from SF used the same sample as "Juicy" a year before on "The Ave" which was a huge local hit in Cali. In 93-94', East Coast rappers started aggressively rapping about guns, weed and hustling literally over night. All of it had to do with the fact that white label exec's wised up and realized that hardcore Cali-style Gangsta Rap with a sometimes added party vibe was what was selling the most.

That's right. The O.G.'s from my old hood Randolph Street, Lakeview, SF made "Stressed Out" and "Tell Me Something Good" on that West Coast Bad Boyz Vol I. :salute:West Coast Bad Boyz Vol II was also a classic and they represented again on "Roll Yo Vogues".

Naw No Limit started fallin off in late 98, 99, they was puttin out thorough gangsta shyt from 95-98

You a fukkin white boy though, you not an African American from the south, west, mid-west, that's why you can't relate to southern gangsta rap

you can relate to east coast shyt because it was so mainstream all over TV and everywhere that you didn't actually have to be apart of, or familliar with that particular culture to understand it

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.

Says who? The East Coast biased media? The Source magazine that underrated The Chronic and Doggystyle which made them re-rate them as 5 mic classics years later? The East Coast radio stations back in the '90s which refused to play West Coast (and South) music?

Breh, at the end of the day, your gonna feel the East Coast has more classics than any other region but you cannot deny the bias

8 Ball & MJG: Comin out Hard

UGK: Riding Dirty

Kast: Southernplayaistic

Scarface: the diary

Goodie Mob: Soul Food

Three Six Mafia: Mystic Stylez @SirBiatch

I'm disgusted with some of the ignorance in this thread. I'm willing to bet you that none of you listened to these albums nor understand the impact they've had on the culture

Liquid Swords? OB4CL? Really? Nobody disrespected those albums and what they meant to hip hop but the nerve of you fukk ass nikkas


how you gonna slide UGK in the mix like that?

:comeon:

I don't know how old you are or if you're originally from the area but I promise no one around 695 was checking for UGK like that in the mid 90s.

This post makes zero sense breh. So east coast shyt was mainstream and everywhere? Death Row was underground? :mjlol:
I fukked with No Limit when they were a local act, but not in the late 90s when they actually were mainstream and everywhere? :russ:

A lot of West Coast albums are just as good or better than East Coast albums. But Hip Hop fanboys who actually know nothing about music, regional cultural significance can't formulate their own opinions about music that hasn't been reviewed by whiteboys from White Plains, New York who worked as music critics for big publications back in the 90's. :ufdup: Messy Marv & San Quinn's Explosive Mode is musically better than any album that came out of the East Coast in 98'. 2nd II None's debut album was musically as good as any classic album from 91'. Dru Down Can U Feel Me was as good as anything back in 96'. But these albums aren't constantly promoted by hipster whiteboys who moved to NYC from the Midwest in 2008 or their older brothers who wrote gushy reviews about 90's NYC albums. That Korean lady Miss Info was the original critic who wrote the 5 mic review for Illmatic. :dahell: Ironically, most of these critically acclaimed East Coast albums sold horribly in the 90's and were criminally slept on despite the fact that 90% of relevant NY rappers were signed to major labels. :mindblown: I'm 32. By the end of the 90's, people looked at Nas's career like it was a joke. Illmatic went wood and no one really started talking about it again until Jay-Z dropped the "Takeover" in 2001 :aicmon:, It Was Written was met with mixed reviews upon it's initial release and Nastradamus was panned.
