NY ain't been really solid since the mid 90's, with a rare few exceptions here and there, but they still as arrogant. That's why they place all their hopes in those 4-5 half-assed mixtapes rappers who's albums never come out, shit's pathetic. Then you got these "real hip-hop heads" who jock anybody that say they'll bring back real hip hop, fail, and keep saying the same shit. Finally you got those who ain't felt new shit for 8-9 years and still hang around fucking internet forums just to hate on every new thing that comes out. Fuck all of em.
Lets be real Neither the East or West has been solid. The South is On the muthafucking top and will stay that way for a really long time until niggas put that East and West bullshit to rest.
I look at it like this Music is Music its a universal thing fuck labeling a certain artist after a coast. Shit I dont call myself a midwest rapper bc I also lived in the South and East.

Music originates from the heart, not the mouth (or side of the neck...)
Exactly
Dont let that shit get to yall.
IMO I never judge a artist from where he or she is from. Just remember the music will speak for itself.
Heres the assumptions people have:
Most east artist are natural lyricst, West has some rider shit, South has better party music, The midwest has that fast spits on lock.
One thing people gotta learn is every coast has artists that have all these qualities.
