Why do NY rappers shout out Mac Dre more than they do Biggie?

EDIT> oh Who is tryna make it seem like that? nikkas respect a legend and tryna spread his name so others can appreciate his greatness, I ain't heard any people talking about he gets heavy play in NY.

If it's all love daddy why you come with the hate?

nah not really hating just letting it known really never heard of him n I get what ur saying with spreading his name but im just postin my opinion ...probably right tho ny rappers go to they bay n pay homage to him outta respect but never in ny did i hear of him ... music wise also ny will big up or mention biggie more than mac dre

I just want to put it out there that artists go to every city/region and shout something out about that area when they perform to make the fans feel good or what not.

Yeah I get what you mean now you put it like that. I feel a lotta NY rappers are mad late about Mac Dre too and could be doing it just cause it's the cool thing to say, but I dunno they may of always looked up to him and just broke through. It's def a good look though, hopefully someone in the bay or out west repays the favour and start shouting out Stack Bundles.

You bay area nikkas are so fukking weird

like if hip hop in america was a high school, you weirdos would get punched in the face everyday, just for breathing

Imagine a world where marketing can lead to a man with 2 albums to be seen as some type of "legend" . . you're a sheep, everything you know is industry

"bumpin mac dre and it got me on my thizzle"

I wouldn't single out NY rappers for shouting out Mac Dre. It's everybody in the industry. Drake started it with "The Motto". Then other rappers started shouting him out (i.e. Rick Ross, Joey Bad A$$). Then everybody from Wiz Khalifa to Jeezy started shooting their videos in the Bay with legendary Bay rappers doing cameos. The Bay sound is being heavily copied in the mainstream today. DJ Mustard straight ganked the Bay sound and ran with it and now every top 40 song sounds like some Bay shyt.
