- Start date
Relevant to the the topic but Midwest had more of a connection with southern / west coast artists ( outside of local rappers ) in the 90s and 2000s
No limit, cash money, ugk, 8 ball / mjg, 3-6, Scarface got more play out here in Chicago than any east coast artists by far.
Don’t even remember local cats even making songs with with anybody other than down south artists tbh.

People tend to forget that Jay slipped under the radar initially. RD is a classic but it got lost in the sauce with all the heat dropping in 96 from more established artists. He didn’t have his first big single till his third album. But being from Baltimore we fukked with everything. Even tho we did lean a little toward NY in the 90s but that changed after Cash Money

95-96, really 96, Pac was making his run, and he was everywhere, pretty much running the game and with that, most of everybody from down south rode with him, UGK was a house hold name, they were riders, 8ball and MJG were riders, most of the down south acts were riding for Pac or messed with the West Coast artists, thus the fanbase down here who manly listened to these southern artists rode with who they rode with which was Southern artists or West Coast. We couldn't relate to East Coast artist, aint had to time to figure out what you trying to say in witty ways, nah breh, get str8 to the point, I got this glock, aim'd and cocked is what we understand, or I'm trying to make a dollar outta 15 cents, is our language, str8 and to the point. We wasn't trying to hear all that jibber jabba from East Coast cats, and plus East Coast beats were wack and didn't move the crowd in the clubs or parties we went to, you couldn't even bump East Coast music in your cars at the time, dudes down here ride with 6 12's and 6x9 and twitters, we need bass coming down the street, wasn't no East Coast cats making music for the cutlasses, regals, and lacs, that's one of the reason why they, the East Coast cats aint get no play in the South too, shyt aint hit in the ride when heading out, or didn't knock in the club at the parties, hoes wasn't dancing to that shyt
DMX broke down here, his content was rough and str8 to the point in most of his songs. For the females it was the same way.
As for as Biggie, Big was on before Pac and him went to war, He had already established clout down here, Jay-z before RD, nobody never heard of dude down here, I think the first time folks heard about this Jay-z cat was when Pac said something about him, and then you start seeing his RD single with Mary on rap city or the box, and then brehs were like, oh that's the dude Pac was talking about or something, dude is a duck...fuk him...Biggie was lucky to have already had hits before Pac came at him, and when Pac came at him, ppl started to back off Biggie and bad boy, I should have been more clear, Biggie snuck in because his hits came before the 2pac beef, One more chance, Juicy, Get Money, etc...
If you listen to only Southern artists and they collab with West Coast cats and you see a West Coast artist blow up and take over and literally destroy a whole coast, then it only makes sense for you to ride on his side and not fukk with the other side.
Pac put a real dent in the music game at the time, things were a lot different from how they are now. There was no internet, so what you saw was what you saw which was pretty much on camera and back then 2pac didn't hold back and expressed himself and the south loved that passion and the fact that Southern artist put that in their music and lyric content only made the connection more solid with us and 2pac.
That's why Soulja Slim is geared our next 2pac, he just didn't give a shyt with what he would say about anything and it came off as a fukk you if you gotta problem with it vibe, plus he backed it up, and again that connects with the fan base down south because most brehs down south, especially in New Orleans really bout that life when it comes to it.

Hov didn't get played like that in the south til Money Aint A Thang. And that was in clubs and the radio. He blew right the fukk up after that.
Biggie only really got burn here because folks wanted to see who Pac hated so much.
Juicy got minor play, but Juicy was every fukking where. If it was making noise everywhere else, chance it was getting played here. I knew some cats that were bumping OB4CL, even though they didn't understand a word of it.
The south was it's own world. Everything trickled down. Only weirdoes like me was listening to EVERYTHING.
This is Lil Keke,
What East Coast rapper, singer, song could come on in the club after this song and rock the party in 97, 98,
Name your biggest East Coast rapper and drop a song that have song that can come behind some shyt like this that would get hoes and brehs on the dance floor? Lol..
This song had hoes on the floor, and this some shyt from Texas that played everywhere in the South, I bet majority of folks on here that's not from the South haven't even heard this song

When I downplay the importance of ILLmatic or OB4CL people act like i'm hating but this thread is a testament to the real climate of the rap game in the nineties (outside the east coast).
