I really don't get why people are turning hip hop into a west coast vs east coast vs south vs etc thing.

tru dat. nobody really owns hip hop even tho in my opinion niggaz like wutang be killin it wit them sik flos. u cant even comprehend dey shit cuz its too good. it just so happens that the world revolves and chage takes place and now we got niggaz like lil wayne gettin the fame now. whats his best line? "she said she wana cut my dik off and take it wit her.. then i falls in that puzzy like quicksand" thats aight fo lowly educated audience but wu tang is the real shit.

papoose, canibus, terminolgy, Joell ortiz. Wasn't all these dudes supposed to have next cause they have "bars"? Lmao. Shit is a joke. Lyrics alone don't make you hot.

I'm a refomed rap purist. listening to wu tang doesn't mean I can't like gucci mane. Believe me when I say these dudes is aggy that they music ain't hot according to the masses.

Plus just cause you got lyrics don't make you hot. This is the number 1 fallacy that rap purists aka eastcoast listeners fall by. Rapping multisyllabic words is hollow if it doesn't say nothing all the while rapping about guns and crack. That shit is old. Rapping like that is not standard format. That was a time period. Get over it music travels. Look at history.

Musicly the east is garbage. No empire last forever. Even Rome fell. East coast artists are aggy that their music has fallen off from the mainstream. it got stale and redundant. Too many dudes either copy the wu or jay. Niggas is mad cause they ain't eating like they use to. Just that simple. Lyrically eastcoast was getting garbage. A new wave of music formed and people move on.

[nyhhyunggun]

lyricly the south is garbage the only reason so many songs from the south is blowin up the mainstream is cause of the beats but the rappers have no lyrics

[RealHipHopTunes]

i agree, the midwest hip hop is doing a better job right now, binary star, eminem, common, royce da 5'9, lupe fiasco, MOOD, the list goes on

DJ Kool Herc is universally credited as the father of hip hop. He is Jamaican and started hip hop in the Bronx
