Sampling is the cornerstone of hip hop culture
Where did I say that it wasn’t? All I’m saying is that the West actually adding more musicality in their production(heavier basslines, the synthesizers, the R&B singers on hooks, having actual keyboard players on records etc) gives them the top spot for me, a nikka taking the most useable parts of a gang of records and re-arranging them into something uniquely his own while creative and probably the single most reason hip-hop even exists in the first place just can’t compare to nikkas actually putting real music on top of said samples or not using them at all and still making something completely original and dope in its own right
All that "musicality" shyt is meaningless and an attempt to make hip hop less raw and more pop.
The irony of you saying this is that Dre, the biggest West Coast producer, just straight up looped Leon Haywood for one of his all-time songs.
If i wanted instrumentalism id listen to fusion jazz.
These fools dont eeen like hip hop smh

Nah bruh, without that musicality the genre itself would’ve been stale as hell and probably would’ve completely ran it’s course before the 2000’s. Bottom line the genre had to evolve and the west and the South(hugely influenced by the West btw) definitely delivered and pushed the genre to heights the EastCoast by itself couldn’t at the time, and that’s one song bruh I ain’t never heard a Preemo record that wasn’t sampled from something else

because his style was east coast. No one from the south is claiming Preemo. I shouldn't have to be explaining this to you.

YES HIS STYLE IS - but he's from the South- anyway I voted for the South
Rakim famously said, "Cause it ain't where you're from, it's where you're at." DJ Premier made his mark in NYC and is the spiritual successor to Marley Marl, a Queensbridge producer. Preemo is about as NYC as it gets. Each region has a certain style of hip hop production and that's what we're getting at here.

I thought about this when I made the thread but I did put the producers in their regions based on their respective styles but Preemo is actually from Prairie View, Tx not Houston and he moved to Brooklyn later
I say the south. Outside of the 90s period where they were inspired by the West, the South made their sounds out of literally nothing and still manage to switch up things even to this day. Trap music today sounds nothing like trap music in 2005 or even 2010.
Both East and West Coast producers relied too heavily on samples for their respective sounds and look how much their production quality went down in the 00s once sampling became too expensive to consistently use for beats.
