Main reason is there is so much more of a tradition of bringing quality with each release. You can tell they are more secure in their abilities and always progressing in content and adversity. There are only a handful of westcoast artists that can hang with the east and hate to say it but I live on the west coast and I wish we had more talent here. It seems like most rappers out here are all stuck in the same mindframe and insecure in their abilities. It's as if they are afraid to step out from this haze hovering over west coast rap and actually bring something creative. The really sad thing is they have most of the people on this board brainswashed as well. Writing "Fuck those Eastcoast Bitches", and so on. From an outsider it would appear quite a few of us are jealous of the east coast on here. Just an observation though. What happened to appreciating quality music regardless of where it was recorded at or where the person rapping is from. I mean it is cool to rep your coast, city, or hood, but keep an open mind to the fact other people are doing the same shit we are doing......just in a different place. Go to the message boards pertaining to east coast rap and you don't see any shit like "Fuck the West". Maybe thats why more people are tuned into the east coast rap scene now more than Cali and bay area rap. I mean people on here are always complaining about how the bay gets no credit or exposure and here is why. If you can't give credit where credit is due to others how are they gonna give you credit back. It's gonna take more than the bay area to support bay rap and actually put it on the map. Bottom line--- hip hop music has the underlying potential to be the most creative no matter where it comes from. Probably catch heat for this thread but I am tired of reading the hatred toward non bay music. Anybody know a message board pertaining to west coast hip hop that has some open minded people whose brain doesn't have a sticky film of ignorance covering it? Peace.
