Whenever someone says something like "My city didn't bump Biggie and Nas" all you did was admit you and your city wasn't into Hip Hop.

You can have different tastes. But NYC is the Mecca. It was the dominant nucleus in the 80's and 90's. Ignoring what NYC was doing is like ignoring what the 90's Chicago Bulls were doing. You got your chest out following Chris Webbers career while with Golden State and The Bullets while totally dismissing Jordans career in the 90's. That's how y'all sound.

90's Bulls was really the west NY nikkas still have an inferiority complex over their golden era getting shytted on in sales

Cube, Pac, Snoop, Dre, Doggpound, washed everyone in Wu Tang, Mobb, Nas, Jay in record sales before their mainstream comeback in the mid to late 90's (Thanks to Puff if we keeping it real)

Even Biggie went and made his own version of The Chronic and All Eyez on Me with Ready to Die and Life After Death.

NY dudes still can't handle they weren't loved on that level outside of a few artists.

LOL. You quoted me to talk about something that has nothing to do with the topic at all. You just wanted to get that off your chest.


Fans never cared about sales like that in the 90's but I'll let you cook.

Westcoast had a good year 4 year run of greatness. 93-96. But they didn't dominate the 90's like NYC the whole decade. Even in 1993 which was a big west coast year, you still had to share that with New Jersey.

Ready To Die sounds absolutely nothing like The Chronic. Now you just saying anything.
Vanilla Ice outsold Hammer and Miami is considered the East Coast (eastern Standard Time) if we are being technical and petty.

I’ll never understand how bruhs find it so hard. To believe that some people wasn’t listening to their favorite rappers. I 100% believe that Glo wasn’t listening to Kanye like that lol.

This whole regional thing just flies over y'all head..

The Infamous is widely considered one of the greatest albums of all time yet in my age group there are people here who couldn't even tell you what it was..

The only reason I even discovered a lot of NY shyt is because of Napster in 99 and a friend from NJ..

nikkas laughed at me for listening to Liquid Swords in high school

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

the same clown that basically said that black culture is only about hip hop should not make anymore hip hop related threads

 

[Mac Ten]

Who didn’t bump Nas back in the day???


They must have been playing N’Sync or something.

 

[GreenGhxst]

The arrogance of people who try to speak for a whole city never ceases to amaze me.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Anyone who says that who was outside in 95-97 is a goddamn liar

shiiiid i jus goto screw tapes ...

Now you're trolling

No I’m not… everyone doesn’t listen to pop rap. You suburb niccas stay exposing yourself

 

[DaMos Supreme]

Yeah it seems crazy to me. I live in NC and I was a kid, but the radio station played the fukk out of Biggie and Nas. They played all the singles from Life After Death and It Was Written.

The narrative that New York in the 90's was like a "local scene" is crazy. These songs had big music videos and were major label albums, and people didn't have as big a say on what they listened to.

shyt, in NC what the fukk else could we play? We had no rap scene in the 90's and we had to look to other regions. Outkast, Goodie Mob, UGK, Scraface, and Three-Six were the main southern acts I remember hearing around here. But everyone bumped Wu, DMX, Jay, Biggie, Nas, Mobb Deep, LOX, etc.

This is pretty accurate, imo as someone who was born and raised in a small eastern NC city, nearly 30-40 minutes from VA. I listened to a lot of the Buddah Brothas when it came to the radio back then

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

Most of the thread deliberately missing the point...

As someone who moved to Cali decades ago... west coast rap fans are notorious for this bullshyt to the point that they will dismiss west coast rappers as being "east coast" if they don't rap over generic keyboard funk beats with a deep bass line and spit more than 3 syllables per bar.

And your troll game stays exposing you.

You did a whole thread where you said you clicked on the video and heard it.

https://www.thecoli.com/threads/lets-settle-this-were-blacc-people-listening-to-kanye-west-in-the-hood.1057485/

These are your words.

when I clicd the video

So you heard the song.

Your troll game is hysterical

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Biggie was the most poppin rapper in 97, LAD went diamond. I'm pretty sure the masses in every black hood in America was bumping LAD lol.


I could see Nas being a regional act prior to 96 but once IWW came out everyone was listening to him. It's seems like only 2pac had a better 96 than Nas.

I'm pretty sure Tupac didnt enjoy 1996
