Question for y'all: East Coast and West Coast rapping. I always see them being compared and contrasted. What are you thoughts on it? Do they really sound that distinctly different? Which do you prefer?
Yeah, that goes back a long ways that most would say pretty much ended with the deaths of 2pac and biggie, at least, they stopped pitting them against each other In the media. I think they do sound vastly different, just like mid-west and southern rap have their own distinct sound. I prefer westcoast, but I'm biasist seeing as how I live in CA and all. Though my favorite of all time is BTNH, and they are mid-west. I love all "sides" for their different sounds and wordplay.
West -Westside Connection
East - Wu-Tang
Mid-west - Bone Thugs
South - Nappy Roots
