Did 2 Chainz Open The Gates For The East Coast Vs. The South?

because simply Boston is wack as shyt in the rap scene. How is the Boston scene gonna compare to an ATL, Houston,LA like scene. Nobody in this country gives a damn about Boston outside of sports esp when it comes to rapping about that g shyt because most people think Boston is soft....which it is compared to Baltimore and Philly

When you compare Boston to ATL you'll quickly realize that unlike Atlanta, nobody's working together. Boston's not a major media hub like Atlanta is and the city doesn't have it's own sound, instead the sound is either borrowed from Atlanta or New York with little in between.

However there are some great established artist within that city who've been doing it for years.

edit: just realized the 617 in your username. Do you have any favorite artist from Boston's rap scene?

Just because a nikka rap dont mean he's biting NY

When nikkas throw up they hood does that mean they're biting the west coast

Boston has rappers like smoke bulga and this is the closest thing to commercial success he could come up with


then you got what your talking about i think....a bunch of rappers who are good but will never blow like here

 

[Mac Casper]

^ I don't see any commercial potential either, especially without anyone having a definitive style or anything that stands out about them. Wally Sparx is dropping the new mixtape tonight, he's over 48 mixtapes deep

It would of probably just come out differently at this point in time. It'd be produced by Alex Da Kid with a strong performance from a female R&B artist on the hook. The label would of thrown Large Professor's track in the bushes along with that MJ sample

lol at Alex Da Kid on the track.

Imagines Illmatic being transformed into Lasers

Killer Mike made a great album that's entirely produced by NY producer. Nobody's saying shyt though. The best rapper to ever come outta the south sound like Nas/wu son.

The only NY rapper who sound like a southern mc is French Montana and he's semi-retard. Go figure.

scarface. andre 3000. The D.O.C.

There's cities on the east coast that have absolutely STACKED scenes of hip-hop but they are completely introverted. A good example of this is a place like Boston, Providence, Baltimore. These places got huge hip-hop scenes with plenty of established artist throughout every region of the city.. but for for whatever the reason nobody is able to branch out beyond city limits

it cuz theres no outlets.

all the outlets basically run thru new york and north jersey seems to blend in with them at times.

and new yorkers arent trying to prop up anybody else on the east coast but new york. theyre quicker to give props to outsiders from other regions because theyre not direct competition.

shame it is.

Andre and Scarface are both better than Jay Z... Since when has this been a debate in the Black community?

If your beats aint banging off top, you aint being checked for.

Its a drastic change from the golden era from when I was a youngin at 12 in 1995 where if your bars werent "tight", wasnt nobody checking for you. It was bars over beats then....now, it's beats over bars.

"Your style is played out like Kwame and them fukking polka dots!!!"

Nowadays, Kwame would be considered swag and probably a top 5 artist

kwame had a nice run. string of hits.

that biggie line came after kwame was already done. i dont know why people quote that line on here like it meant something.

i see what your saying tho. but lets not throw kwame under the bus.

 

[Kimo_bud]

Jay-z and nas are still better than any rapper to ever come out of the south tho. Just saying that before these country fukks come in here with the bullshyt ,I see where this thread is going.

Id take scarface over jay-z and nas no homo
