Do You have Coastal Bias?

@Jamacia
@Turfaholic
Those two always come to mind.
I expect more lyrical shit from the East Coast.
My fav rappers are mostly from the mid West
and i'm from the South. I listen to alot of artist from my region.

you two niggas biased as fuck though

<grew up alongside hiphop (1973)

So NO bias here
I didn't come up in an era where they had regional pride going on
fortunately I was born & raised in the Hub City and had the pleasure to have access to 1580 KDAY in all the 80's (the worlds first all hip hop station)

if east coast artist wanted to promote their music and get airplay they had to come to L.A. to do it because NYC/Philly/Jersey was shitting on hip hop (their own artist) up until maybe the late 80s/early 90's.

All they had in the mid 80's was a 1 hour a week hip hop show (Mr Magic/Marley Marl) while L.A. was spinning all the obscure hip hop artist (24-7) from east and west coast who were trying to make it big since 1980.

NYC invented it, L.A. nurtured it/gave it a showroom floor.

nope good thing bout DC having no rappers while i was growing up is that i never got a bias to my region

and many ppl do have a bias to there regions not all though

i'll rock with whoever from wherever

BlackGerald · January 29

no bias, but i don't care for Bay music and my favorite rappers are from the East Coast

Ear2DaSt · January 29

S.P.C./S.U.C./Killa Klan bias!

Nope good music is good music. The only thing I miss is when each region had it's own sound.

Someone tell this guy about the infamous college radio programs.

Most are either in denial or clueless about it. Me, i can honestly say that i had a certain bias years ago. Never disliked any particular region but since i pretty much was raised on west coast music for the most part i had a lil bias, i'll admit that. Was never one of them "fuck the east coast westside 4 life" cornballs tho lol.

I'm completely unbiased now tho. I think i listen to more east coast shit now than anything else tbh. I've also learned to appreciate southern hip-hop more as i've gotten older. I pretty much only fucked with Scarface, Outkast, D.O.C. & Devin The Dude here & there, now over time i've grown more into U.G.K., Hot Boys, Eightball & MJG, Killer Mike, Z-Ro, Goodie Mob, J. Cole & so on.

Gen. Stasia · January 29

Nope.

Already Home_17 · January 29

oddly enough, the majority of my top 10 are either from new york or the Midwest

but naw I'm not biased. I fuck with hip hop from all corners of the country. I could never get into foreign hip hop though
