East coast hated curls, perms, etc.
:russ:

I wonder why lol the first Eastcoast Rap stars had curls and Perms. They probably considered it played out by the late 80's

Yeah, Quik was wasn't a joke. Tim Dog was outta line. I bet it wasn't just the music that irked East coast folks either. I bet East coast artist, media, etc just couldn't dig anyone as regional LOOKIN as DJ Quik looked. Quik looked like a West coast mascot, and that probably didn't sit right with the East coast. He didn't sport an East coast hi top fade, he sported a West coast perm. That in and of itself probably pissed alot of East coast folks off(including Tim Dog) who were all tired of Compton getting so much shine over The East coast. East coast hated curls, perms, etc.


East coast did what they did with other coast not them..

Thing was the disses back then..u had to run into the nikkas u had fonk with...at jack tha rapper

Tim quik dee from 2nd ii none crossed paths..

Yeah, on Jus Lyk Compton he talked about some of the fights he had in other locales.

Tim Dog had be g-checked a couple of times it seems, by what I've heard. He told that one story of PAC saving him. That "F Compton" track caused him alot of trouble....

:whew:

This is nonsense...I already stated that Down South fukked with Quik...meaning N Carolina and Virginia....Thats east coast.

How the hell could we not accept how Quik looked when we accepted NWA?? Quik looked exactly like someone from NWA.

Also u spitting all type of wrong info....NYC fukked with NWA....we also fukked with Digital Underground and Hammer when it was cool to do so. Cube was that dude out here.

We didnt fukk with anything WACK...and Quik was mediocre on the mic so he didnt stand out

Compton was not getting no overshine like that...Tim Dogs beef was personal because he felt Eazy E snubbed him at The Apollo. Thats all. And NYC didnt flock behind Tim Dog like that to hate on LA. A few heads sucked it up but it wasnt a universal thing.

hammer n quik are aces.. at that too..



what u say hammer??

proper

I've never had issues with hammer. I played the shyt out of his music when I was 10 just like any other kid did/would have. But you can't compare him to Quik on the mic device. Hammer could out dance Quik though, no question.

Quik is a lot of ways a producer's producer. So even in his heyday, while people fukked with his beats, I know as an East Coaster, we did put a lot of clout into rhyming, and Quik wasn't the best out as a lyricist in comparison to some of his peers. That being said his rhyming had improved a lot by Rythmalism.
