Why Does Detroit Hip-Hop Sound Like Cali (More Specifically The Bay) Hip-Hop?

[NigerianDonDada]

whole Detroit Twitter was arguing about this earlier today

 

[NormanConnors]

funny they keep posting all this music to prove they started the style when the Click came out before all those Detroit rappers

Just going to ignore my Esham post. Eastside of Detroit was on that vibe since the 80's

Parliament move to Detroit in 68. By that time the funk had been formed.

The West music is based off the funk period.

That One Way bass synth sound it a simple LFO moog.

Lets not gloss over the fact of the Ohio Players from Ohio.

The Barkays out of Memphis..

James Brown..

Dazz Band..

The West music is not exclusive to or based off Detroit based Parliament.

Lets not forget Roger and Zapp in Dayton(Ohio)

whole sounds was built of “more bounce to the ounce”
