Face it bro, your own east coast slant does not even do jsutice to Bambatta's definition of HIP HOP which was all inclusive.
Stra8 up bro, the East KILLED "hip Hop" if anything when they ELIMINATED the Fifth Element of KNOWLEDGE and changed it to "Moguling" (Russel, Puffy, Jay-Z, most notably).
And that is EXACTLY what they call it "Moguling".
How can anyone blame the South, West, Hyphy, etc for following suit?
No defense here but some ya'll sound like some Eastern elitists who need to GO BACK HOME to them southern roots.
I mean...for real...the same can be said for the East Coast...Other than Kanye West and Common "A few others are the only cats to me out of the East that even try to create creative rhymes"
Every thing else is step infetchit (Puffy) signifying monkey (Busta) bling-blinging (Jay-HO-Va) "pimp music" and wanna be strippers (Kim, Foxy)...
At least the South is DIFFERENT and that's why its selling.
And as far as Nas is concerned dude done changed stripes so many times he done lost sight of who he is. Thats why no one in the West or South attend any of his shows and he cant even sell as a Headliner.
HMM...??? MAYBE MY WERDZ WERE TAKEN WRONG OR I PRESENTED THEM WRONG. THE REGIONAL WARS ARE OVER.IF ANYTHING POSITIVE IS TO BE SAID.IT'S THAT RAP IS MORE UNIFIED THAN EVER,AND THATS WORLD WIDE!!(WATCHED URBAN MASSIVE ON THE AFRICA CHANNEL LATELY? ACTUALLY CALLED THAT STATIONS HEAD QUARTERS AND GOT A JEWISH MAN AS THE ONE WHO TAKES PITCHES-A LITTLE IFFY ON THAT STATION BUT THATS ANOTHER DISCUSSION!)
LIKE I SAID SAID THE SOUTHS BEATS ARE SO CRAZY THEY HOOK YOU IN,BUT THE MAJORITY OF EMCEES FROM THAT WAY HAVE NO DISTICNT STYLE!
YOU RIGHT THOUGH, THE EAST WITH "NAME BRAND RAP" WAS THE BEGINING OF THE END. BUSTAH RYHMES...YEAH DUDE WENT POP,BUT HIS RHYMES ARE STILL OFF THE MAP.
BIG FAN OF HYPHY THOUGH!!!! IMO HYPHY IS THE RESSURECTION OF HIP HOP!!
NAS IS SUPERIOR TO MOST RAPPERS CHECK THAT ALL RAPPERS FROM THE SOUTH DESPITE HIS MIXED MESSAGES. NOT A REGIONAL THING MAN! I KNOW WHAT FLOW IS AND LIL WAYNE, T.I., SOLDIER BOY ARE NURSERY SCHOOL RHYMERS.NOT HATE JUST MY OPINION.
EXCUSE ME FOR BRINGING UP OLD-20 YEArs ago rappers, BUT I THINK THE DISCUSSION WAS ABOUT THE ORIGINS THATS WHY I MENTIONED THOSE NAMES. THE ONLY SOUTHERN RAPPERS THAT EVER MADE ME THINK WERE GOODIE MOB AND OUT CAST.NOW CATS LIKE UGK,DAVID BANNER,, I RESPECT FOR THEIR SKILLZ. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN CONSCIOUNESS FROM DOWN SOUTH THATS TRUE, IMO IT IS A MORE IGNORANT CONSCIOUSNESS. BUT MUCH LOVE AGAIN FOR THEIR MONEY GETTING!!
