fuck the east coast?
man, you mustn't know about the tight ass underground over there, have you ever heard of cannibal ox, EL-P, or the definitive jux camp, them niggas are freakin hip hop innovators, they on some next level shit and they comin straight out of new york city.. shit i dont know how niggas could just make lame ass statements like "fuck the east coast" all youre thinking about is P-Diddy and Ja Rule and shit....
on another tip...
east coast has the upper hand because it has a certain stigma of being a leader in trendy new styles, this whole hip hop thing that done blown up was because the new yorkers made it all fun, fashion and dance friendly, that's their whole gimmick out there, just as the south has its dirty grimmy gimmick and LA with it's gangster gangster gimmick... i doubt niggas even think of the bay as a recognizable part of the U.S. thus we get know play, shit if anything the bay area is a microcosm in it's own, we aint no LA, NY, or down south, we got our own style that fools just cant seem to relate to unless they grown up or lived out here for a while...
