Rappers from the east can take a shit on rappers from the west.. most westcoast rappers are wack
-
dirty south is the best atm
-
i agree to an extent
but that's only becuase on the eastcoast hip hop is something more inclusive than it is on the west.......on the east people LIVE hip hop on the west people just listen to it.
-
Though this comes from a dude who calls Ja Rule "the mic god", I gotta agree to a certain extent.
Their rappers get bigger, and they usually have better lyricists, but the West is coming now.. Crooked I, Sly Boogy is big talents.. and maybe Ras Kass can deliver a album before he dies..

i also agree to an extent, the east has always been superior lyrics wise, when people think about the west they think about Gangsta music and beats to boogy too
the east is more on the lyrics and livin the life
HOWEVER the problem with some of the best lyricist on the west is exposure,promotion etcc.. and on and on
Sly Boogy
Planet Asia
Rasco
Ras Kass
I SWEAR IF RAS KASS WAS EAST COAST HE WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP A LONG TIME AGO BUT OBVIOUSLY SINCE HE IS WEST HE HASNT AND MAYBE PRIORITY WOULD HAVE DEALT WITH HIM BETTER IF HE WAS FROM THE EAST
these young guys like the game and sly boogy can hold their own on the mic but ask east coast heads and they wont even have a clue cause they think all that comes out from the west is dre and snoop and gangsta music
I guess what im trying to say is that the east does get the better treatment as far as exposure but some of their rappers do deserve it no doubt (talib kweli, pharaohe monch,canibus, mos def, nas, biggie etc...)
East coast heads and some west coast heads are too lazy to dig up info. and music about cali's underground young up and coming and vets
Good to see Sly Boogy gettin exposure on Power 106 here in LA ;D

I dun think the south is the best at the moment, if anything id say they the worst, but i dun really listen to it enough to judge. East is def ahead in my book tho, but even so, I think central area has 2 of the top5 and i would rank them behind the west. Really hard to judge, is Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and that region included in the East?

Naww, the most extreme lyricists rarely blow up..
That's why Ras Kass tried to dumb down his lyrics on the single "Back it up" and a few other possible singles.. look @ other super-lyricists.. Pharoahe.. Chino.. Canibus.. they dont sell much.
Easy accessible stuff sells, like Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem.. they're not creme de la creme lyricists, but they're good, and easy to relate to.
-
True. East Coast rappers in general are superior, commerically and skill-wise. NYC is the birthplace of hip-hop, people live and breathe hip-hop there, so what do you expect.
-
no way, people in the West with the talent just aren't well known, check
Sly Boogy
Ras Kass
Chace Infinite
Krondon
Del The Funkee Homosapien
Planet Asia
Rasco
Phil Da Agony
Defari
The Liks
Kam
Paris
and put your average NYC mixtape rapper against them. Both have their dope MCs but the doper East rappers blow up while most dope West rappers stay underground
-
It's quite obvious that the east has better MCs overall.
And yes, there are many talented artists from the west that are relatively unknown and yet to blow-up but it's not like that only happends on the west. There are just as many if not more from the east in the same situation.
Now don't move this to the main board cause the westcoast baised peeps that don't check here will have a heart attack when they see this subject title.
-
most of my favorite groups are from the west
but i like the west and the east just as much
-
most of the best groups are on the west...but the best mc's right now are from the east 8)
