What was your School era Westcoast shit?
« on: February 04, 2004, 03:02:47 AM »
Back in 92-96 when I was at High School my shit was Cypress Hill. Then I always bumped Thug Life, Masta Ace, Coolio's 95 album record with that "Too Hot" song, every morning waiting to catch the bus. Then the CMW, MC Eiht shit , of course "Str8 up menace".

I was never really into Cube/NWA

Whatever I'm listening to now cause I'm still in High School.

But in Public School it was Run-DMC, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Public Enemy & The Beastie Boys. I was bumping them on this tape my cousin made for me.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

I got into rap when I was in 6th grade. From '95-'98, which was middle school, I bumped Pac, Westside Connection, Snoop, Dre, and Bone Thugs the most.

In high school, '99-'02, is when I really started gettin' into all kinds of Westcoast shit. I learned about Crooked I and Sly Boogy, got more into Ras Kass, got more into Daz and Kurupt, got into the Dago rap scene, etc.
