The difference between East Coast and West Coast rap.

[WessideThuggin]

What would you consider the differences in styles between West Coast and East Coast rap?

 

[Hurts]

the beats mostly

 

[*suspect#1*]

the whole content is different and if you hear some eastcoast shit that sounds westcoast its just bitten......even westcoast hip hop is different from eastcoast hip hop......two different lifestyles so 2 diff types of music

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

Yeah, the beats are the biggest difference & the lyrical content used to differ substantially but ever since the DR, a lot of rappers on the east coast have copied the 'gangbang' lyrics, to the point where you have Dipset claiming they're Bloods.

Tell me which east coast rappers were claiming Crip or Blood before west coast 'gangsta rap' exploded?

yeah yeah but the east coast always had gangs the thing is that the west coast gang culture spread towards the east coast, especially the bloods thats why their runing strong in the midwest and east coast.And the dipset arent the only rappers on the east coast claiming bloods just 4 your infn top of the fact deathrow didnt start gangsta rap they took it to the next level.But there were gangs be4 deathrow such as the brooklyn bloods, latin kings,even the zulu nation to a degree.

I couldn't give a fuck which gangs were doing what, where & when I was talking about rap which is what this thread is about. And I mentioned gangs in relation to rap & rappers.

So once again I put it to you, name the rappers who were claiming Crip or Blood before west coast 'gangsta rap' exploded?

If you cannot answer this question then your original post, & those subsequent posts which attempted to defend the original, are void.

Modern New York rappers have taken cues from west coast rap to become successful.

there were none to my knowledge and i never said that their was .But what i did say that the gang culture was alway out their be4 gangsta rap blew up.Bloodsgrew strong and started to spread and thats why u have niggaz like dipset claiming bloods cause their taking from west culture like roaches said.

And silly child i was defending anything i was not trying to debate.I just made a statement.

After all hiphop was rapping in general especially battle rapping was a way to keep gang violence down in the east.And that was way be4 "gangsta rap"

ask afrikababata(sp?)he coined the term hiphop

You replied with.

This implies that, in your opinion, rappers were using 'gangbang' lyrics & claiming LA gangs 'way be4 that deathrow shit'.

& yet when I ask you to name those who were doing 'way be4 that deathrow shit' you reply with,

there were none to my knowledge and i never said that their was

There seems to be a fuck up here, & not on my part.

Anyways, I suppose at least we've came to the conclusion that the lyrical content has become similar mainly due to east coast biting.

 

[roaches]

well the game did^^^^^

How so?

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

How so?

I know a lot of people say that Game flows like an east coast rapper & using the same type of wordplay.

I know what you were talking about but when you posted, referencing what I had posted, you didn't appear to know that I was talkign solely about rap.

And no, I don't listen to Dipset either but I know they claim it.

Btw, as for your edited post, Afrika Bambaataa is the spelling & I hope you weren't trying to make yourself look less dumb by editing your post.

 

[VENOMOUS]

no i edited my post to add some more shit to what i was saying. by the way u know what(sp?)means.

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

I actually don't know what (sp?) means but I have a feeling you will now tell me.
