@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 :ohlawd:

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?!?!? :mindblown:

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 :picard:

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!" :francis:

I didn't see that post until you quoted it, but just recalling that era, several things come to mind:

1) Greg Street used to play No Limit songs that other stations weren't playing. I remember hearing Soulja Slim's "At The Same Time" and a couple of other No Limit album cuts on Street's shows on V103 ATL.

2) Hot 97.5 started talking down on No Limit around 1999. I always thought it was more due to the fact that it became common place to diss No Limit in 1999 given the rise of CMR and No Limit declining. It seems like this was more so a protest against rival station V103 being pro No Limit and No Limit wasn't really giving them the looks they were giving Greg Street. P was shouting out Street in '95/'96

3) When No Limit played Hot 97.5's Birthday Bash, they also had Pastor Troy on the bill and this was when "No Mo Play In G.A." was red hot. Goodie Mob had to intervene to prevent an altercation between No Limit and Troy.

Also, with "I'm Bout It". KLC's daughter actually did the drums to that beat by accident. That was one of the coolest stories I recall from No Limit. KLC actually talks about it in the interview below:



I didn't know that "I'm Bout It" was originally a commercial for Wild Wayne. I also didn't know that the beat was made for Serv.

I never heard of Full Blooded ghostwriting. Highly doubt he used to write for C. C had his own mind when he wrote

Actually P told them he wasn't gonna show up if they let Pastor Troy perform and they complied. They booed Master P off the stage. Goodie Mob performed and said "we not finna let no outsiders tell us what we can and can't do. We stick together" and brought outTroy to perform during their set. Crowd went wild.

Troy talks about it @8:55




Pastor Troy Interview with OZone Magazine
You were 18 when you came out with your first album, “We Ready.” That was in 1998. In the twelve years since, what has been the single biggest moment for you, the memory that sticks out in your brain the most?

The best moment I’ve had in my career so far was probably performing at Birthday Bash, not the first year when Goodie Mob brought me out, but the second year when I had a chance to go out there and do my thing.

You were the headliner, right?

Yeah. I was supposed to headline the first one that Master P replaced me on. [The radio station] replaced me with Master P and those people booed all night long. Then Goodie Mob finally brought me out and crunk up “We Ready” for just a quick verse and then it was complete hysteria. So the next year to be able to come back and do it with no time limit in front of 20,000 people that love me to death just felt great.
