Why does the south try to downplay their west coast influence

[Taadow]

nah mike influenced in another way;...

3-2 influenced the slang ...the really doe..big baby..chris a was a clown..

Perhaps, but this is what I read...

"According to Mike, he taught Snoop Dogg phrases like "I don't love dem hoes" while they shared an apartment during their Death Row Records days.

Mike's short-lived deal with the Los Angeles label came about because Dr. Dre was a fan of Convicts, the duo consisting of Mike and Houston rapper Mr. 3-2. But as Death Row co-founder Suge Knight dragged his feet on their project, Mike began to consider his options."

the fans that are ungrateful in their feelings..if u look into their stash..90% of the music is west coast..them nikkas argue just to hear themselves talk..

just like bay area nikkas...they will argue up n down the south stole...but a nikka bring out proof..n a history lesson of 90% of their fav rappers..had to come to texas..because mean green was a dj who is from the bay..was teachin them blueprint of j prince..n where to get more bang for their buck at southwest whole sale..

then when u tell they ass..kmel didnt play no bay rappers n didnt show love...n kansas city, houston, dallas n other midwest n southern states gave em more radio play than home..they look at u funny...

but the real bay nikkas know the truth..

Thats just good networking

You said it yourself Mean Green was from the bay though and left salty at kmel for lack of freedom and support of local nikkas,he set up shop in a new market thats all,he did what he was supposed to do....90% of bay area rappers didnt need radio play,and still dont need radio play to be succesful though.

shout out to Cedric Singelton for being a genius as well,just because he's often overlooked.

plus none of that really negates the stealing or influence.

Most southern OG's show lots of love to the west coast not only today but when they were hot so I don't get this

From Face to P to Wayne to nikkas like Jeezy

The Convicts were signed to Rap-A-Lot Records, but they almost signed to Death Row to record their second album. Founders Suge Knight and Dr. Dre thought the Convicts on Death Row pairing would make sense. However, the deal never happened, the group split and Big Mike went on to replace Willie D in the Geto Boys. However, Mr. 3-2 would leave a lasting impact on the label and it’s biggest star, Snoop Dogg. Mr. 3-2 was known for rapping with a peculiar voice inflection and saying phrases like “I don’t love ’em.” This would rub off on Snoop who later became known for using similar vocal inflections and coining his phrase, “we don’t love them h*es.” Snoop acknowledge this in a Twitter memorial dedicated to 3-2. - See more at: #RIP Mr. 3-2: Snoop Dogg, Slim Thug And More Mourn Death Of Houston Legend

who knows tho..but it came from snoop mouth..3-2 held a grudge with snoop for yrs..about him jackin slang n not acknowledging him

If you wanna talk about denial of influence there's no better case to be made then these Chicago nikkas acting like "drill" isn't just some off brand form of trap music

how u bite..when majority of the west coast cats were from or had ties in the south

w.c. n crazy toones from houston
e-40 n b-legit nem spent time in grambling..both would tell u they spent a a lot of time in the south
spice 1 born in texas..

how ice cube hop was always on willie d n face albums..or u saw em in

dr dre partner in crime in the wreckin crew..spent more time in dallas than he did in l.a. n literally moved to dallas...soon as he got to dallas..he connected with d.o.c n the fila fresh crew started...dr rock worked at one of the local stations n dallas..n he was a regular dj at the shamrock skating in lancaster

south never downplayed their west coast influences..specially the 90s south..

96% of screw mixes were west coast rap

a better topic is how east coast try to downplay their southern influences..

Close this thread.

what came to be rapping started in the south and was spread by southerners to other parts of the USA
