Hip-Hop Rumors: Mannie Fresh Says “What Happened To The East Coast Sound” | AllHipHop.com

Super producer Mannie Fresh has seen many different era’s of Hip-hop and is still relevant today, currently working on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation C.D., Cruel Summer. In a recent interview with Soul Culture in his hometown of New Orleans, Mannie gave a very candid interview about his thought on Hip-Hop culture today and gives NY rappers a reason to get motivated. Check out what he said below:

“You got NY rappers that sound like they from the South, East coast rappers that sound like they from the South. I’m not saying anything is wrong with that, but what happened to the East Coast sound, what happened to the West coast sound?”



Do you agree with Mannie Fresh on that? Do NY rappers sound like they’re from the South? Mannie also drops some jewels about working with G.O.O.D. Music, “It’s a factory. You can go work with whoever you want to work with until you get that magical song.”

I agree. leave that trap sound to my south nikkaz....im from ny and i make beats and i refuse to make that trap shyt.....i shake my head everytime I see ny nikkaz rapping about lean and etc

 

[Plexxx]

Fresh top 3 producer of all time.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

I can't front though..some of it actually "WORKS" ...french montana southern characteristics don't sound bad at all.......especially on this track...

 

[Capitol]

Plenty of dudes that have their own sound, but they probably wont ever pop.

There's a gang of up and coming NY rappers bubbling from the underground that stay true to the "East Coast" sound without sounding outdated. And you also have some of them that have legitimate potential to crossover. Check my New NY thread out http://www.the-coli.com/booth/15487...oc-marciano-coke-boyz-harry-fraud-thread.html

no one that I know of

 

[DANJ!]

What IS the East Coast sound these days anyway?

And I'm not talkin' bout that shyt that sounds like it came outta 1995... is there a new NY/East Coast sound out there?

As a dude whose ears always leaned more twds the East sound, it's kinda disappointing. NY used to not only have A sound, but a couple different sounds around the same time. There was the Bad Boy/Trackmasters sound, and then the RZA/Havoc sound, then the Premo/Pete Rock sound... now it's like NY adaptations of trap beats. Wild.

For the record, I always thought if somebody was gonna head the new movement of the East Coast sound, Just Blaze would be the one. But since he only makes like 4 beats a year now, guess not.

As far as producers, Harry Fraud is in the for front, kind of restoring that NY sound
