@THE RETIRED SKJ @JustCKing
Yup I heard it from Serv-On, Gipp, KLC, different HM/NL/Dungeon Fam members: NYC was vicious with their outright loathing of southern rap music, refusing to play almost anything in the 90s until Outkast and No Limit caught on big. From the fans to the radio/video stations, NYC were some straight ignorant hatin' ass isolated folks
Those petty insecure fukks ignored various UGK/8Ball+MJG/Scarface classics
oh my lord....it was blatant as fukk
im just one of the few east coast cats to be honest enough to admit to it
especially on this BOARD (THE COLI)......hell the SOURCE magazine was in on it too..with slick shyt being said by thier editorial staff and all the letters they published from readers dissing the south ..calling it slow....primitive ..wack and savage
im an OG i seen it all

i moved down to georgia officially from the tri state (ny, nj, conn) in 97 .....or as the gods say the year of "born god"
i was straight 5% at the time...and a big fan of the Wu anything RZA related
but i can't front it broke my heart to hear RZA just shyt on the south so hard in the Rap Pages magazine when he was asked about the obvious East Coast bias pervasive in the media and radio stations
his response was and im paraphrasing here..."its justified ....thats the science....more than half dem n1ggas cant read or write so what we need to promote them for???"
i was like YO?!?!?

how the fukk can RZA just shyt on Original People (black people) like that simply cause they from another region...
but it not only just FED THE FUEL even further......thank god we didn't have a full blown "CIVIL WAR" in hip hop...
because sad to say it would have been fully warranted......
that's why i ain't tripped when the following year GOODIE MOB released the album STILL STANDING in 98 which had the intro which was basically a DISS TRACK towards the WU based on what a dungeon family member had told me in advance...when i first came to georgia the first cats in the industry i came aquainted with was the Dungeon Family because one of the members went to school with my brother
anyway like i said i ain't even tripped as a true and living G.O.D when CEE LO went hard with that ETHER....
Cause that same year at the Source awards where andre made his infamous THE SOUTH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY speech...
the extended members of the WU TANG FAMILY tried to FIGHT them boys (goodie mob) backstage

so CEE LO and the SOUTH is justified in saying "fukk nyc" for all the fukkery they commited
"i thought you said you was the Gee Oh Dee??..sounds like another N1GGA TO ME!"
