Why do most East Coast beats sound like garbage when they can't sample records or bite from other regions?

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Swizz ain't the only one either

When left to their own devices, NY nikkas pass off any cheap keyboard banging and boneless looping as the "real hip hop". Let's talk about it

Is it “east coast” or is it NY? Florida is the east coast. At least qualify the statements in your pointless thread.

When talking about East coast hip-hop, nobody has every thought of Florida.

Idk why y'all like coming into threads being willfully obtuse.

East Coast is built on sampling, and that's how it should be. Once the region moved away from samples into trash-ass 'digital beats,' their sound got progressively worse. Swizz has like 1 dope beat for every 24 hot garbage beats...dude is just awful

South sounds dope with digital beats. The east does not.

Regionalism needs to continue its gradual return to hip hop.

At first I was likewhen I saw the OP. But then when I thought about.

East Coast music really does tend to have the least musicianship and it’s hard to think of many good East Coast hit songs that don’t have samples

We 'bout to get RZA in this conversation for example or nah..?

The Roots

The Roots are the east cost and so was Larry Smith (NY). 99.9% of Larry Smith's discography were non samples. And Larry Smith's sound pre-dates the MPC/SP1200.

This was sampled by Dr Dre(west coast) in 1997.


This is also a non sampled beat by the Roots


This was also sampled by Dr Dre, 2pac, and countless other artiss on the east and west coast. Another larry smith classic


We can go deeper in that hole if you want to. Sampling is a part of hip hop. Interpolating beats IS SAMPLING. You're just not using a drum machine.

I want to be in the clear, is NY considered east coast? If so, see my post. Larry Smith has about 5 undeniable classics in his resume. The Roots, though they sample and interpolate sometimes, most of what they do isn't samples. I think Philly along with NY is the east coast. I'm not sure.. I gotta check a map.

The South samples too

Alot more than people think

This right here.

There's no region that doesn't sample.

Organized Noize is probably the best southern Hip Hop producers ever, and their catalogue is fueled by sampling. Sleepy Brown said they used to go to NYC just to dig for records to use for beats. Sampling is the backbone of Hip Hop production. Always has been.

[Bigblackted4]

can we post some examples of west coast beats without samples because the best era of west coast music sampled Midwest music damn near exclusively

Permanent seat on Jimmy fallon's couch

Emphasis was always on lyricism so the beats were meant to be stripped down and minimalistic
