matter of fact, bosko ends the thread....


no one, other then mix, has done as much as him... the most under appreciated nw artist. jake had a few placements.. not knockin him... the biz had a few placements... not knockin them... vitamin d had a few... not knockin him...ive had a few placements...

bosko has more then us all combined... +grammys +multi platinum plaques +platinum plaques +gold plaques +national prime time performances (jay leno, tyra banks, etc)... so really bosko is shuttin the thread down... and he is a humble cat from none other then NE portland... so...

Man, one of these threads again?

Portland hands down. While there are talent in Seattle and Tacoma... on consistency ... Portland hands down. You name all the new katz that came out recently or what not... but Jus Fam IS the staple that keeps it poppin.

wurrrrdddd.... like nonstop said... bosko is the most notarized cat out the NW... but then we got nonstop, nutz, and syk...

i still think the best rapper in washington is BG CHURCH though... i've never heard anyone in the NW, let alone the west coast that can fuck with him on a track. you want to get embarrased, do a song with church.

not one city is better than others.. so its really Who holds the NW down...

cool nutz
bosko
nonstop
jake one
and d-sane

and if SLR was still around they'd still be holding most of the west coast down... dont believe me? (not directed at people who know bout SLR) www.streetlevelrecords.com

d-sane put out what? 15 albums? probably didnt make too much money on sales... did it cause he knew he was good at it and people always diggin it.. hopefully the day comes when d-sane starts droppin more albums...

If we are talking just rap right now, then I would give PO the edge right now because of Bosko/Cool Nutz


If we are talking historically on the other hand, Seattle is gonna win because of Mix, and if you are talking music in general, its Seattle by a landslide

^I figured that was cuz of the rain. They say that Seattle got the highest suicide rate in the country cuz its always raining.

I heard some shit from 94-96 from Seattle/Tecoma but I forgot the name of the Group. It was something like 211 or some shit. They had a Mike Mosley classic bay mob sound, I use to bump that shit all the time but could never remember who it was.

THERE'S TALENT ALL OVER, I CANT WAIT FOR THE NW TO BLOW, PUT IT LIKE THAT.
AGREED.

Ay everbody on your list deserves credit, got heat and I hope they blow when the NW get it but here's where they meet their match.

COMPARED BY CREDENTIALS:
BOSKO vs MIX*
BOSKO has done alot of work that relied on others to come through lyrically and concept wise he never made a hit with just him whether ghost written or not. MIX has PLAQUES, AWARDS, CO-PRODUCED a couple of his hits & you still can not see a countdown on TV that talks about the infancy stages of Hip-Hop and not hear them mention him.

COOL NUTZ vs JAKE ONE*
Jake might not have been around as long but he is definitely talented, more known and doin it major. All respect to NUTZ he's a f*ckin beast but he got a thread on here askin to vote his song to win a deal with Jake and Rhymsayers so it kinda shows who's more influential at this point.

NONSTOP vs THE BIZNESS* (DOW JONES)
Both amazing at what they do but honestly I feel like DOW JONES is doing way more with his mixtapes and his work with The Bizness who has had placement all over the board sh*t ya'll prolly didn't even know they did let alone all the G-Unit work.

SYKO vs D-SANE*
Like ol boy said do your homework on STREET LEVEL RECORDS after you do that go to his myspace page and look at all the work he's done as a producer from the early 90's to NEXT WEEK. Truth be told I give him the most respect out THE NW because though he made sure he got paid from it, his label put out the most albums out of Seattle period and -keyword-MAYBE-keyword- the best in quality and quanity out the NW.

SEATTLE WINS!!!!
And OREGON still don't got a PRO NFL SQUAD
