And you're contradicting yourself. Everyone of the songs I listed were heavy on Rap City. If you weren't paying attention, then that's on you. It means you are behind and plenty of people outside of The South who attest to the fact that their first time hearing Eightball & MJG was one of those songs.

I never said they were unknown. you clearly don't understand what im saying.
get your comprehension game down before you start typing essays.
that's the ENTIRE point of the whole discussion, dumbass.
you tried to say the south was poppin before master p, and attempted to use 8ball & mjg as an example to prove your point.
now youre trying to backtrack.

OP disregards the effect sampling laws had on music 
Yeah maybe west coast/southern music started to sell more because it was marketed more, because it used less samples and was more profitable.
1990s east coast rap will always be the high watermark for hip-hop.

lol
youre a f*ckin idiot.
none of those people know me from a can of paint, and don't even know if im a human.
but yet, you take their word for it.
what makes it even worse, is that I don't even think anybody actually made such a comment anyway.
because I was born into this chit obviously. I was always around it.
with that said, youre clearly not black asking these questions, so stop saying "nikkaz".
and lol @ "cut FOR that". somebody please get this geek the f*ck out my face.
I didn't even bother reading the rest of your pointless post.

You tried to prop "Pure Uncut" as a Rap City classic, when the other songs were bigger. Now you're downplaying the other songs.

what are you talking about?
west coast music was an onslaught of sampling. not just sampling, but str8 rips of older records.
always be the dudes poppin out of nowhere, tryna play somebody with smilies, that say the dumbest chit.
lol @ the bolded.
that's EXACTLY what you did in this thread, you wierdo.this is MY thread, about '90s east coast, and you come in here bringing up some f*ckin outkast, and some chit I said in some other thread in response to somebody else.
and the more you talk, the more I can tell that you clearly don't undertstand the concept of blowing up a region. I cant even bother going back-n-forth with you, seeing how you cant even comprehend the basics of the topic...…...a topic that has no place in this thread anyway.

those songs may or may not have been bigger regionally. but if so, then thats about it. what the f*ck don't you understand?
its one thing for you to go way off-topic, but youre not even coherent.
im done talking to you in this thread. not even reading your next reply.

REALLY???? Ok so their 1st album went GOLD. Everything after that sold no less than double platinum
do you not see the names & years listed in that exchange??
clearly, their later albums aren't apart of that timeline, as they didn't become a multi-platinum act until the 3rd album, which is way after the time period of this thread.
BE SMART SON.
Breh, they were all bigger than "Pure Uncut" which was what you were arguing was the biggest hit Suave House had. What aren't you getting? Just because you were a No Limit stan doesn't make "Pure Uncut" bigger than it actually was just because it was the first time you heard talk of Eightball.

I didn't follow you into this thread. My initial post was about Silkk. My other post had to do in response to No Limit blowing up The South which Kast was first mentioned. Now what is weird is you not even checking the post because No Limit was definitely not a factor during this period, but Kast was. And yes, an OutKast mention was relevant to the post I responded. I could also argue that Kast is relevant to this thread because Kast was a group that beat out other East Coast groups in NYC at an East Coast centric awards show, a show which marked a pivotal moment in Hip Hop, which is a testament to the East losing its footing during that era.
And your criteria on blowing up a region is irrelevant when there were several artists from said region bigger than most artists on the label you're claiming blew it up. Do the knowledge before you post because yet again you end up looking like a student in your own thread getting schooled by every poster in the thread. You'd do better if you knew how to articulate your points and back your claims with facts. Instead, you poster as this child prodigy of a Hip Hop scholar and end up looking dropout.

Sure they have plenty of dudes dressing like MigosFuture and even Young Thug
.They have had heavy influence on the lingo/slang,the drug addict culture,and the trap lifestyle still remains prevelant in the culture,and hasn't been toppled since the mid 2000's.

future got his style of dress from the east coast.
young thug as well, aside from the gay chit, which nobody follows.
same with migos, aside from the goofy stuff, which nobody follows.
the south did popularize the term "trap" tho.
but the trap "lifestyle"?? really bro??
