Well the south wasn't big at all in the early 90's. The only artist I can think of are Scarface, Outkast, Eightball, Luke, 69 Boys, & 2 Live Crew. I loved West Coast music back in the day but Ice Cube, 213, and Xzibit just ain't cutting it anymore.
I got a slew of family in Cali and when they come to Texas we always talk about this.
Southern artists and their fans have respect for everybody. Ain't nobody dissing someone because of where they are from.
okay who told you the south had a fukk da east attitude. I never heard anybody down here dissing yall. I love Ice Cube, Snoop, and all dem other folks. I think the south was big in the 90's...well Ga and Fla. All that freaknik **** shakin music is basically all i can remember about the 90's but if you lived pass tenn or mississippi u didn't hear it. All that Luke, Kilo, DJ Taz, 69 Boyz, Quad City DJ's, and many more are stuck in my head. But just like the west had songs and people we ain't know about we did too. Wait i'm getting off the subject....why do u say we blew the fukkup? We still be fukkin wit yall. Ice Cube all over that Lil Jon album. Yall in our videos and everythang. I really don't see the south having beef wit any coast. We're like neutral
this is just my opinion, i really do think that most of the rappers i have heard from the west, i.e. game, karupt, daz, e40 etc..., are wack, i really dont mess wit snoop all that much. but once again this is my opinion.
ain't nothin wrong w/ the West... the West isn't whack... hell, most the guys from the West have longevity... and didn't Snoop go to the South and sign that deal w/ No Limit... then Mack 10 signed w/ Ca$h Money... so how is the south looking down on the West...
being from the South, i done been on a West Coast downloading spree... old Pac songs, Dre songs, NWA, Ice Cube, old Snoop joints, and even G.A.M.E. most people i know from the South are feelin West Coast, just as much as Jon, Jigga, Nas, etc. but you gotta learn to mix it up... there are times when people just overplay a certain genre of music...
See, back in the late 80's & early 90's, the closest thing that the south had to represent them was the west coast sound. NWA, Ice cube, and all that jazz. Warren G, Snoop...then came the Geto Boyz, UGK...and believe it or not, DJ Screw was doing his underground thing. Then came along Master P....the whole "gangsta" thing originated out West, and it slowly but surely spread east. 2 Live Crew & 69 Boyz (and others) were doing their thing in Florida, but it started to fade.
Most of the older folks I know (early to mid 30s) were turned onto the west coast sound first, because it was the only thing they could relate to in the 80s. Its all love.

I feel u a lot on that. It seems like that is how it started...back then, the west n south were different enough, but we were a lot more similar to each other than the east. A lot of the older Texas music sounds similar to how west coast music sounded back then. The east saw the west as bein "country" as far as accents and styles of clothes/hairstyles went. Now, it's a clear difference between most south rap and west coast rap.
To neckbone...what rappers do you think are tite, from whatever regions?
