Quote from: proverbs aka DD on February 12, 2007, 03:49:35 PMThis is a good topic..I'm actually a Southern Cali native but now a resident of Houston..Both coasts have major talent. When they put effort into their music, they can make some classics.The difference between both coasts is the pressure put on them. See.. NY is known for having the better lyricists so if you come from there you gotta have lyrical skills.. The West Coast is known for their hardcore/playa/pimp style so you gotta have some street credibility to be successful there.. The south doesn't have the pressure of either. So they can do whatever. They basically use everyone's style and then create their own when they skew it..Who's style does the South use? LOL. People here keep saying the South steals this, they use that, etc. etc. But have nothing to back it up.When was the last time you heard a Brooklyn cat on some "It's Going Down" shit? When was the last time you heard a dude from East L.A. talk about "Get Buck" ?? I mean get real... Shit doesn't happen. Down South beats are their own, their lyrics are their own... They're slang is their own. LMAO @ The South steals shit... Yet the West doesn't get hit for taking Crunk and turning it into Hyphy.

I dont like regions, i like music.
I can only imagine if an East Coast cat came on here and said: "Man all that Dogg Pound, E-40, Spice 1 shit is wack! I can't believe the West got big off shit like that."All you guys would come in here screaming blasphemy. Its the same thing. Singling out just a pocket full of artists does not make a region wack. Theres Luda and theres D4L. Theres T.I. and theres DFB. Theres Chamilionaire and theres Mike Jones. So the "quality" cancels the "garbage" out. Why stick on the bad and just say "some of the shit from the South is not my taste, but I fuck with _____."But coming in strictly hating is just ignorant cuz we all know if it was the other way around you guys would have a hissy fit.
LooN3y: You made a generalizing statement so I made one. Don't be mad. You look like you're a little upset now. Answer the question, do you not like Daz and Kurupt now? That answer will tell me a lot about your tastes and your thoughts.

Pastor Troy? Da Backwudz? Bubba Sparxxx? T.I.? Young Jeezy? Seems like you haven't... Don't be ignorant... Please.
