So Mobb Deep responsible for Eastcoast Gangster Music

[FunkDoc1112]

As far as their take on gangsta rap from an NY perspective and how it became the defacto sound, Wu-Tang, Nas, and Biggie started that and then Mobb Deep just made it a little grittier.

Mobb Deep (imo) is closer to the drill shyt from Chicago.

Considering kool g rap never sold even lil boosie numbers, sure let's go with that

boosie wishes he did g raps numbers and this aint a down south diss but you got to think about it.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I agree with Zino here

Yes gangster music was being made but it all sounded a bit old-timey until the Mobb dropped

The sound was loud, modern and sinister. 90s Prodigy had the best delivery ever IMO

Onyx, Redman already had hardcore hits before The Infamous

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

There’s some truth to this

Nobody listened to kool g rap

Onyx if their album came out before infamous..could be credited too

 

[Boonapalist]

No.

G Rap, KRS-One, Just-Ice was talking gangster shyt way before Mobb Deep
