I was inspired by the Mobb Deep thread below this to make a new thread about east coast music. Im kinda like eMDe was with Mobb Deep...but with east coast music period. I never listened to any east coast shit, just completely disregarded it without giving it a chance. But once I actually started listening to it (which was just a matter of months ago), Ive started to recognize a lot of talent I never really noticed before. Nas, who I always new was skilled but I never like his music, is one of my favorite rappers now. Im really diggin Jay-Z's liks (still think he's a faggot though), and of I love Big L's shit. So now Im hungry for more...I plan on peepin Mobb Deep as soon as I can. Im lookin for shit with dope LYRICS as well as good production (I think 94-95 east coast production is filthy).
So far, Ive got myself into Jay Z, Nas, Big L, Styles, and Jadakiss. And Ive been diggin Biggie, Kool G Rap, Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane for a while of course. Anyone have any recommendations for dope east coast shit I should check out (besides Heltah Skeltah, couldnt really get into them for some reason)?
