Who will help to bring the west back more, the south or the east?

South

There are more similarities between south and west cats than there are with either and the east.  A lot of people on the west have family down south or their family came from the south.  I think regionally when it was East & West and not much from the south they identified more with the West.  The east basically cares about the east period so if either were to be more help it would be the south.

None of them West Coast music gota build up agian by it self South, east wont help shit all.

I mean, there are some select East Coast MC's that show the West Coast a lot of love. Talib Kweli has worked with the likes of Quik, Snoop, Game, DJ Babu, DJ Khalil, and pretty much the whole Strong Arm Steady gang (Ras, Phil, Krondon, Chace and Planet Asia). He also works with Steady Gang frequently on their projects and on his own.

Also, Redman has done several collabo's with the DPG. The track with Daz ''Blaze Up'', the one off of ''Gang Bang Muzik'' with the Eastsidaz, and several Snoop collabo's (eg: ''We Some Dogs'' with Meth, ''Long Beach 2 Brick City'', and the ''Freestyle'' off of WTTC Vol.1)

Fab also collaborated with Snoop, and did a track with Game way back on UKNOWWHATITIS Vol.1.

Some up-and-coming acts from both the East and West Coast seem to be working together also, such as Saigon and Sly Boogy.

Granted though, there are a lot of Southern rappers that seem to show just as much (if not more) love to West Coast acts. Ultimately though, I think it's down to the West Coast to bring itself back.

yeh its their ingorance.. they think even the weakest emcee from from NY can turn a westcoast rapper out.. remember readin a thread other day on boxden where was a thread. DMX v Xzibit and it was a disgusting 78 [dmx] - 24 [xzibit]  some of the posts where so inaccurate saying that dmx has way better lyrics then xzibit.. i laughed and tip'd their thoughts bollocks.

Well...bein realistic, in 2005, we definitely need a jump-start, and the west can't do that by itself, especially with no help from the industry. Like I said, the only reason that some of the new west coast artists are known is because of the collabs they do with the south and the east, because they never hear shit that just stays on the west.

^couldn't have said it any better.

[Mr. RuthlessG]

Neither.

Because the truth is the south or the east don't care about the west they just the west to expand their own fanbases.

[InsaneMisfit]

the west is gonna do it on its own like it did it the first time , keep droppin heat they cant deny the west, as for gettin love in the industry definetly the south gives the west more love...too many closet haters on the eastcoast

[hempside]

well rappers from the east are making more money and you see their videos more than the south i think, so they may have more influence nation wide. plus, south music is a cheap imitation of the west, with its 808 drum kits and simple melodies, so the south might keep west artists in business, but the major names from the east are prolly gonna be the ones to blow up westcoast cats if they collaborate more.

Its official!that you know nothing about hiphop.....stick with shit you know about,like (euro.rock or something)...get the fuck out of here mayne,speaking on the south.....fool you sound stupid,makeing a comment like that.(and let it be known,that the south has always had their own way of doing things).we never had to bit dick....(something you really need to stop doing).
