Why is westcoast rap so big overseas?

[Danté Williams]

The thing is, in countries like mine (Spain) where radio does not play much hiphop and shit, we aint "forced" to like eastcoast stuff. The people aint got prejudices against westcoast and, because they do their own research, are free of listening whatever they REALLY like, and not what radios force you to like.

So out of the Millions and Millions of Europeans, Trauma sees a few hundred of them that like West Coast Hip Hop, and he assumes that it's huge overseas.  I'm sure it's no bigger there than Puffy Ami Yumi is here.

word, its jus not as big as it seems
