when you think of how rap songs should sound...what songs do you think of

<< < (2/3) > >>

mauzip:
they don't copy from the west. they have their own sound, influenced by someone from the west coast. and i guess you never heard music by for example the emmortal thugs or lareece or else you wouldn't have made this comment ::)

very very good point

Jome:
Royce 5'9 is the current king of the midwest..  8)

IMO:

East:
Scratched beats.. ill samples from old classics..
Grimey dark beats.. examplified by the likes of DJ Premier, Havoc, RZA & Alchemist

(I don't like the Nu-sound though, with poppy radio-beats from the likes of Irv Gotti, DJ Clue and whoever produces for Fabolous & Joe Budden.)

West:
Bumping clean catchy beats with hard bass, examplified and copyrighted by Dr.Dre.
Scott Storch, Fred Wreck, Eminem, MelMan got almost the same Westcoast-sound, even if they're not all from the Westcoast.
Then there's diff. types of producers who's playing the background to the Dre-sound, like Battlecat, Evidence, E-Swift, DJ Quik and more.. with a little more undefined style than the Dre-style.

South:
The scream and get crunk is easy to think off, as well as the bumpy beats of Manny Fresh.
This "crunk"-sound is easy to notice, cuz it's so loud in many cases.
But the South is so much more.. but I'd say the club-crunk hits is kinda typical for the South.

Midwest:
Hard to define, imo..
It seems to be in the middle of the West and South.. and some times even flirting with the East.
The least defined sound of these 4.

bow_down:
I think east coast music is the grimey type of shit. The shit you listen with your headphones on. West coast rap is for the stereo because of the usualy westcoast beat and lyrics are simple most of the time. If i had to pick a song that defines east coast rap it would be CREAM and west coast it will be Whats My name
