[proZach]

newyork isnt the only place rappers originate. what about tupac and the west coast? snoop? gangster right thurr.

(zach)

free xbox?or an iPod?

 

[aclsarescary]

I don't know much about Tupac, but I thought he was born in New York?

 

[ReggaeConcept]

^He was born in NYC, but he grew up in LA and became a staple of the west coast rap scene.

**************************************

SSK

 

[aclsarescary]

alright, I knew he moved to L.A. sometime in his youth.

 

[rideforride]

what a pussy, how can you talk ahit about east coast when you were born in NYC.

ya'll forgot about Puff Daddy.

 

[aclsarescary]

I don't think He talked much 'shit'. He was pretty straight up about stuff.

 

[ReggaeConcept]

A lot of the East Coast vs West Coast shit was hyped up by the record companies and the media. Tupac and Biggie didnt hate each other because of where they came from...get serious. It was all a ploy that got so out of hang it resulted in the deaths of two of the most talented MCs of the ninties.

[aclsarescary]

reage concept...I konw 2pac and biggie didnt hate each other, but there were a lot of New York Rappers that were pretty furious at 2pac. And he calls them all out on his Makevelli albums...I don't know if that ocurred after the label hype or before, but there were a lot of angry rappers.

[SKItheBURG]

i didn't say that ny is the only place, but it's definitely the main breeding ground for hip hop. seriously i bet around 70% of rappers are from there.

 

[CTripper]

oh yeah, some cat named cool herc that used to roll with the most gigantic speakers in his convertible is from new york i think.
