Why is westcoast rap so big overseas?

[Trauma-san]

I don't understand it.  There's countless people on here that live in some country other than the U.S., I mean, even weird-ass countries I don't know shit about, that basically REVOLVE around westcoast music!  Why is that?  I mean, we've got people on here who spend hours a day, a significant chunk of their lives, either on this board, or on MIRC, that are from the middle of europe.  

That would be the equivalent of me spending all day on a Japanese teen-pop forum, making a website designated to it, and spending hours trading mp3's of the latest japanese singers online.  

Not hating, just confused.  Any Explanations?  


And, on a second note, again, NOT HATING, just asking... many of these people are the same people that have almost a deep-seated hatred for America, and talk out against the country all the time, yet have an almost idol worship attitude about a few rappers from california, many of whom 99.999% of America disregard or don't even know exist (All the bay area cats, MC Eiht, Celly Cel, E-40, etc.)

I feel where ya coming from on this issue.

  I was amazed that most of the cats were from foreign lands and they had some rare ass shit in their stashes. (i.e. Hi-C,Low Profile,K dee) and I'm here in the states and I can barely find MC Hammer  I'm not taking away from their hustle....but I've always been curious on how ya'll oversea folks know so much bout the west coast music scene, I dont mean the stuff nowadays...I mean knowledge of the stuff from the late 90s that isn't too much talked about. (40oz fits in that category).

I don't know if you're calling MC Eiht a Bay Rapper, which to me it seems you are, but he's not.


CMW was his group. The "C" didn't stand for Cisco. It wasn't Cisco's Most Wanted, it's Compton's Most Wanted.

maybe the instruments used in westcoast music resembles there cultural sound of wherr dey frum, i think

[Trauma-san]

Hi.  I know that.  Thank you.

Hi.  I know that.  Thank you.  

You knew it, but you still placed him in that category. Way to go jackass.

[Trauma-san]

Suck, my diiiiiiick.


I didn't place him in that category, I just said "all bay area cats" then named some california rappers specifically, some from the bay, some from compton, really, who gives a fuck?

[SGV]

Suck, my diiiiiiick.

Sorry, I don't do that. Possibly you enjoy men doing that to you, but hey it's your life.

[Trauma-san]

OOOH, so witty!

when people say they hate america, its got nothing to do with the american people or the lifestyle or the music. it is strictly against the government and the policy makers. btw im not one of those ppl.

even osama watches larry king lol.


peace

Music knows no boundaries.

Plus it aint only for the westcoast shit. Here u got european heads (like myself) diggin the wessyde style cause we're in a WC forum. Go to other non-WC forums and u'll find the same shit, europeans diggin east side shit or dirty south stuff.

[mauzip]

I just listen to what I like and I do some research on it. That way you find out about artists they don't play on the radio over here. You don't have to be American to get dope music

[f0n|{sta]

i like the beats, especially some dope g/p-funk. the smooth way...
i will bump this til i die...lol
