Eastcoast Rappers are superior

<< < (2/3) > >>

pappy:
word

IKON:
i also agree to an extent, the east has always been superior lyrics wise, when people think about the west they think about Gangsta music and beats to boogy too

the east is more on the lyrics and livin the life

HOWEVER the problem with some of the best lyricist on the west is exposure,promotion etcc.. and on and on

Sly Boogy
Planet Asia
Rasco
Ras Kass

I SWEAR IF RAS KASS WAS EAST COAST HE WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP A LONG TIME AGO BUT OBVIOUSLY SINCE HE IS WEST HE HASNT AND MAYBE PRIORITY WOULD HAVE DEALT WITH HIM BETTER IF HE WAS FROM THE EAST

these young guys like the game and sly boogy can hold their own on the mic but ask east coast heads and they wont even have a clue cause they think all that comes out from the west is dre and snoop and gangsta music

I guess what im trying to say is that the east does get the better treatment as far as exposure but some of their rappers do deserve it no doubt (talib kweli, pharaohe monch,canibus, mos def, nas, biggie etc...)

East coast heads and some west coast heads are too lazy to dig up info. and music about cali's underground young up and coming and vets

Good to see Sly Boogy gettin exposure on Power 106 here in LA ;D

NewJack:
I dun think the south is the best at the moment, if anything id say they the worst, but i dun really listen to it enough to judge. East is def ahead in my book tho, but even so, I think central area has 2 of the top5 and i would rank them behind the west. Really hard to judge, is Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and that region included in the East?

Naww, the most extreme lyricists rarely blow up..
That's why Ras Kass tried to dumb down his lyrics on the single "Back it up" and a few other possible singles.. look @ other super-lyricists.. Pharoahe.. Chino.. Canibus.. they dont sell much.
Easy accessible stuff sells, like Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem.. they're not creme de la creme lyricists, but they're good, and easy to relate to.

KVB:
True. East Coast rappers in general are superior, commerically and skill-wise. NYC is the birthplace of hip-hop, people live and breathe hip-hop there, so what do you expect.
