this is just to discuss the different types of fans in the hip hop/rap cultures......obviously for numerous reasons each has a different sound and beginnin' to influence their upbringin':
east coast: so called 'origins' of hip hop, like mecca, new york would be the breedin' ground for its birth....has a raw feel to the music yet pure
west coast: (side note: I always thought it funny how the west coasts biggest represtener was from new york, talkin' bout pac), computerized vocal hooks, melodic, funky bass lines, to me the west coast not necessarily started gangsta rap, but brought it into the mainstream to keep 'it', hip hop, alive.......N.W.A. made a real difference when they came out, but I always saw DJ Quik as sort of the godfather of west coast rap......
south: chopped n' screwed, probably more known now as 'crunk' music......today's hottest comodity within' hip hop and overfloodin' the market with club music......
mid-west: this differentiates, in the early 90's bone thugs n' harmony and do or die/twista were really the only ones makin' it or doin' somethin', but since then there has been a radical incline in the amount of artists makin' noise.......introducin' Eminem, D12, Tech N9ne, and a string of others........
popularized icons in hip hop are figures that captured the emotions within' a cultures environment.....my environment bein' the west coast, I feel that culture more over lets say someone from the east coast and for that reason our tastes in hip hop aren't goin' to be the same......i'm not sayin' everything is goin' to be different or that some opinions won't be the same, what i'm sayin' is I see all these "oh why don't u like this person" and usually the answer is somethin' like "oh cuz they suck dick".......it's really usually because of what culture you grew up in that influences ur interest in a certain sound......this isn't to say either that someone from the west coast can't love the shit outta jay-z or krs-one or saigon, 'cuz sometimes the environment in which u were raised can push you to not like that cultures upbringin'.........this was just to shed some light on as to why maybe some people on here like someone or some group that you don't......
