Yes it does matter, because the East Coast just doesn't have as much style as the West Coast does. Hip-hop was at it's peak in the mid-90's when the West Coast was running hip-hop. Then, after the demise of the West Coast in 97, we had to deal with the South and Master P and the shiny suits of the East Coast. Even the LOX, Jadakiss and all them used to wear shiny suits when it was in style, and I don't care what anyone says, Jay-Z was never much more than an average rapper.
no doesnt really matter
It really does not affect ME cause, in Spain we just don't get much repercussion of what's hot over there in terms of rap music. BUT:Why it would be nice to be back on top:- Exposure. You'll hear westcoast tracks all over the place, in the club, in the radio, your friends will ask you for that Bad Azz CD when they used to ask you to download the new Nelly. - New cats. A lot of upcoming talents that would have not even tried with the actual westcoast situation (no possibilities of blowing up), will appear and new stars will take over the left side. - Old cats blowing up. Vets in the game will see their chance to blow up and improve their shit.Why it would NOT be nice to be back on top:- Over-exposure. Don't you hate it when a song that you love blows up, you hear it 24/7 and end up tired of it? Or when peeps that don't know shit about the west start representing and talking to you about how classic Doggystyle is when they were bumpin Milli Vanilli at the time. - Commercialization. Westcoast rap would transform more and more into a radio-friendly format in order to gather even more listeners. The spotlight may not mean better music is made but that even wack music blows up.
doesnt matter...i like being on the east and being one of the few out here the bump mostly west coast...as long as the dope music keeps coming who really gives a fuck? do sales have anything to do with any of us?
East Coast people are biased as fuck
i could care less if i don't hear my favorite artist on the radio 3 times an hour but too bad i can't say the same for the artists... it's this lack of exposure that was one of the reasons that DJ Quik almost quitQuote from: KING VerbalAssaulta on January 21, 2005, 05:12:20 PMdoesnt matter...i like being on the east and being one of the few out here the bump mostly west coast...as long as the dope music keeps coming who really gives a fuck? do sales have anything to do with any of us?and man i hate being on the east coast and listening to westcoast music....east coast people are biased as fuck
