What makes eastcoast hip hop so great?

[Mr. RuthlessG]

To SGV yeah the west isn't really innovating or elevating the game either but the east are the ones really putting out all the really watered down shit.  So stop trying to defend them and Lil Wayne sucks.

The West is droppin' watered down shit? LOL. Dickrider!! Sorry...The West is just as dismal as the East.

LOL @ Wayne sucks. You can't even form a good arguement on why the East is wack, how you gonna tell me an artist like Wayne is wack?

Btw, I'm from the West and I'll tell you myself, we're just as bad as the East.

Fuck all that shit you said.  How am I dickrider?

Honestly the east coast might be more popular their shit is not good the only reason they get all the radio play and shit now is because mostly all they make is bullshit club songs.

How how do they have best lyricists?  If that's true than why aren't I'm feeling anyone from New York then.

All in all in east coast rap is overrated and I'm sick of everyone supporting it.

And to poster above I didn't like 2Pac either.

so if the east steals bits an pieces from the west in the south, by your thinkin,  doesnt that mean the west an the south jacked the whole hip hop culture from the east.

yes it does, dood is childish and has no knowledge the history of hip hop....

[Mr. RuthlessG]

^
I know my hip history I know hip hop started in the east but that doesn't mean I have to like their shit I honestly not feeling any artist from there.  Also if I was one of these people that hated on west coast rap and only bought east coast you people wouldn't say shit to me.

Another thing no one still hasn't answered my original question.

what makes hiphop so great in general? Try to name things that are basic to loving hiphop and then convince me of how they're not to be found in east coast hiphop. good luck
