Eastcoas Cats Dissin The West

[R-Tistic]

Well alot of fans out here do hate on the west, and Im sure people in Cali hate on the East too. Its all ignorance, if ur not accustomed to another syle of music, an immature person is gonna hate. Alot of Cali styles are hard to swallow for someone whos had nuthing but the pop music all their lives. But thats tupid to me, everyone from out here that I played WC music for eventually likes most of it

LOL, ain't nobody from Cali that should accusing East Coast cats of only liking "pop music".  All Cali ever puts out is the same ol' "I'm so gangsta, rep that Wesssyyyde, C-walk to this, cuzz" shit that it's been putting out for the past fifteen years.  Besides, what do you think G-Funk was considered 10 years ago?  POP, homie, it was a pop-gangsta sound, and most of the artists that made G-Funk made it for pop audiences.  At least in the East Coast has the full range of hip-hop, from gangsta to conscious, grimey to club, etc. - the West needs to learn from that before niggas like you make such ignorant statements about the East.

Never, EVER say anything so stupid again.

You make it sound like the west never had anything other than gangsta music. Sure, the most famous artists have usually been on the gangsta tip, but anybody who knows more than a lil about west coast rap knows that there is a very large range of artists here just as it is in NY.

Of course...I been listening to Digital Underground, Hieroglyphics, Dilated Peoples, etc. for years now.  But the album sales don't lie...the West is stagnate right now.

I'm mostly reacting to him for implying that all East Coast rap is pop music...that's a far more ignorant statement in comparison.

For the most part, yes it is. More of the Eastcoast music gets on TV & radio, in turn making it pop. Im from NJ, still live there and the MAJORITY of people here listen to whats on the radio, and buy the albums. So Im saying, people out here hate on the West becuase NOW its very different from what we got. The fuck you gettin so hurt over my statement for anyways

[You Ain't Shit]

fuck tha east coast

LOL...if you actually live there and you think that.  Just because most of what's on TV and radio is from the East, that automatically makes the East pop?  The East Coast has as many Mos Defs and Talibs as it does 50s and Diddys, whereas the ratio of Ras Kass-type rappers to Pac/Snoop wannabes is extremely disproportionate.  What...you think 10 years ago, West Coast cats weren't listening only to the radio?  When Pac, Snoop, Warren G, Dogg Pound, etc. was the only shit radio was playing back then?  What kinda shit you on?

People hate on the West because it's full of cats who can't do nothing except brag about how gangsta they are, what set they claim, etc. over and over and over...and you think that's "different"?  It's called being "uncreative", homie.  And that's why nobody gives a fuck about the West anymore...because it's irrelevent to hip-hop today, unlike the East.

No thats not why people out here dont like it. The Dipset is one of the most popluar groups out here and they always on that gangsta shit. Whats on TV is what the people out here listen too, instead of looking for underground shit. And that Mos Def/Talib thing isnt very popluar out here. Also, keep in mind that Southern California isnt the only place in that state where music comes from, and out here we are hearing way more Bay than SoCal

Come on, homie...your argument is still based around what you hear on the radio.  The fact is, there is far more versatility in the East than in the West.  There are not nearly as many conscious/political rappers in the West as there are gangstas, whereas the East is far better balanced.  And your argument is ridiculous because it acts like the West is so different that it can never cross over...my point is, 10 years ago, G-Funk was the definition of crossover thug-pop shit.

Stop glorifying the West and downplaying the East when it's quite obvious which is producing better music right now.

Its not based around what I hear on the radio, its based on what PEOPLE AROUND ARE LISTENING TOO. I never said the West was more versatile, but right now, there isnt much coming outta NY, people out here are mostly listening to the South. And dude youre the one saying Cali is all "Im gangsta, rep my set" all that. Im just giving you a reason why people out here would hate, or not be open to the West coast. I also believe taht at the moment, The West IS putting out better product than the East

Yeah, and I used to live in L.A., and all everyone around me listened to was G-Funk when I was coming up, plus it was all the radio played.  What does that tell you about the West?

And how can you say there isn't much coming out of NY when NY continues to give us some of the most quality hip-hop out there, from Talib to Immortal Technique to De La Soul?  How much music like that you hearing out of the West?  I don't care what you think muh'fuckas are listening to, what counts is that the most creative, original music is still coming out of the East.

I'm saying, your reason people would hate the West is bullshit.  And what better product is the West putting out than the East?

Talib Kweli, Mos Def, De La Soul, Method Man all got my respect among others. They are true lyricist which to me is the real meaning of RAP. There's a little bit of truth in what both of ya are saying, but please dont downgrade the westcoast music because it's gangsta. That's why it's called GANGSTA RAP. It doesnt lack creativity. Tray Dee, a gangsta rapper, is one of the sickest lyricist from the west. He is underestimated, and to me is one of the DOPEST rappers, Then you also have Kurupt, another gangsta rapper, who is a beast on the mic. The Game, although new the the game, is another monster on the mic. Defari, and many more. And then we also have "POP" rap like the Snoop Dogg from the 2000's, East Coast and West Coast music to me is equally competetive! Very Different Music, But still equal. I believe there's talent on both sides! We out here got much love for the eastcoast music. We may not like tha Dipset, 50 Cent, "Blood Money" from Mobb Deep, but we do have respect for the underground kings from the East. The only rappers whom I have no respect for are those who pay thousands of dollars for a Dope Beat from a dope producer and spit a wack ass flow on it. No Need for names, and BOTH SIDEs, East And West, Have suspects in this crimE! I Love Rap Music IN GENERAL, I dislike when the West is disrespected tHO!

[westkoastanostra]

i used to like eastcoast but then became an ignorant fan...but now i got love 4 the east.....biggie,mobb deep, g-unit, redman,nas,jay-z,d-blocketc....i blame diddy for bringing that pop shit to rap...

[Meho]

I completley agree with "Tha Spirt Ov Allah Clarence 13Xtra Tha Fatha (Iz Active)".

Eastcoast has developed and produces more quality rappers than Westcoast.

[youngmessnucca]

My point is valid, how are you gonna know whats going on out here if your from Cali? You dont. All I tried to do is put you up on why The Eastcoast doesnt feel the West, and then this guy Xtra has to jump in here and act like big shit. You strayed away from the topic just to make yourself look high & mighty which you are definitley not homie. Where are u livin at right now, not 10 years ago? If it aint the Eastcoast, then your point is mute.

I agree.
