When a city that is known to trend set in the black community and dictate what's school and what's not it's only natural they will start to feel superior to every other city

They started rap and got used to everyone other city trying to mimic their sound (rapping like nyc cats was the only way to make rap)

Even when it comes to drugs they were going up and down I95 and even traveling to the Midwest and taking over towns. Then in the actual city you had nikkas making millions


But it's one city that has always have their number and that is LA

I believe due to distance LA is a city under was never influenced by nyc like that

NYC started rap, LA puts their spin on it and it blows up and gets bigger than everything coming out of nyc. Ppl started copying LA instead of nyc. It got so bad that irrelevant Bronx rapper dissed Compton(a small town 3000 miles away) for no reason at all

Then you have movies,both nyc and la had legendary blacc movies coming out in the 90s but the majority of the country liked the LA movies more(checc the box office numbers)
One yea 70% of the coli agreed as well

Anyway let's continue

NYC tries to play up their hustler image and act like they had it biggest hustlers ever but in reality during that 80s n 90s era most of the plugs came from LA. How many nyc hustlers were supplying whole states? Multiple states? They may of went there up hustle but even if they did LA nikkas were supplying kingpin

You don't have to believe me even legendary DC hustlers said they were supplied by la nikkas even tho nyc is a few hours away

Keeping the topic on the streets la and California are the only place I consistently hand nyc rap artist Ls in the streets. From extortion to kidnapping to murder. No other city can say this and nyc knows it which is why they dicc ride California's gangsta so much even though they've been known to act like anywhere else outside of nyc is Disneyland


Then you got the most famous rapper of all gone being born in NYC yet choosing to claim California instead :pachaha:


Last but not least you got gangs

Never in history has LA EVER claimed any gang crew clique or any of the sort that started anywhere else but la. And the same could he said for nyc until they started literally reppin LA neighborhoods
It's gotten to the point where you see more crips and bloods in NYC than you would see in places that had them longer


All in all its evident that nyc nikkas definitely view la cats in a jealous light and you can see it all on the forum cuz historically LA is the first city to not give af about what was popular in NYC and turn around and make their own culture the most mimicked

Nah breh.. Who from LA inspired black people more than Spike Lee?
I think you're missing point creh

This isn't most influential city it's about nyc being the most influential historically but then la came along and not only took away nyc dominance in black culture, but actually had nyc start copying them

More a competitive rivalry than outright inferiority complex.

I will say, if you grew up in L.A. or the Bay, you could give a damn about a NYC as far as the typical reverence its given as the epicenter of everything like people in flyover states do. Plenty of Cali natives who would be content never leaving the borders of the state... for good reason. That definitely reflects in the music.

There's a distinct sound West Coast artists go for... and they don't care how the East Coast perceives it. It also helps that the Cali rap game has been more unified than NYC.

this is false :what:

On a global scale NYC is the defining city of America

When dudes across the world who have never been to the USA think of America they think of New York

The statue of liberty, Time Square, Yellow Cabs etc

Same way when we think of England we think of London or when we think of Japan we think of Tokyo
