    Well thanks to the east coast for creating the genre in the first place so y'all have y'all own "style" so instead of ?


    You're welcome

    Props to New York. I got a lot of love.

    But I'll compare it to this when people complain about the East ... Florida A&M University started the Black College Marching Band Style (playing popular pop songs instead of the boring marching music) and paved the way for other big bands like Jackson State, Grambling, Bethune-Cookman, Tennessee State , Southern, etc., etc.

    FAMU has a great band, but they took some halftimes Ls too. And sometimes it's hard for FAMU fans to admit they didn't have the best show on a particular Saturday or give props. OR admit that they got an idea from another band.

    Lmao I never knew how much Da Brat bit Snoop's style back in the day. But G-funk ran the early 90s, so of course they had a lot of imitators.

    The Brat had the nerve to kinda brag about swagger jacking Snoop and them. She knew what she was doing because people in the streets was getting on her about it. If you listen to "Sitting on top of the world" she got the nerve to say at the end

    "You see, ? round town called this and that
    Said I sound like the Pound and my ? was wack
    Dropped the album funkdafied and they thought it was bold
    30 days later, the LP went gold."



    So that tells me sounding like snoop was part of the marketing plan apparently. So when Another tantum probably didn't do what they wanted you see her 3rd album she sounded like she was on some Midwest ?

    Yo, this ? is crazy.....Feelns everywhere....Allhiphop needs to start a mental health thread and have therapist/crisis counselors on hand....This rap ? really ? some of you cats up....lol

    Big said RTD was heavily influenced by the Chronic and Doggystle.... The Brat well that goes without saying, she was even sounding like Biggie at one point...Kriss Kross sounded like Das Efx and Treach too....I think Treach said something about writing Jump....

    g-funk to me is Hip-Hop mixed with Funk
    if you think about it Hip-Hop is made from samples
    it was inevitable that someone was gonna sample a very popular form of music called funk and
    put a hip hop beat to that's g-funk
    eventually if Hip Hop was sampling other music it was gonna run across the funk

    so cuz west coast made it popular first no one else can sample the funk? ..smh

    I give them credit but at the same time other areas have the right to sample the funk without being called biters
    cuz the samples belong to the funk

    maybe Im being defensive because of southern g-funk

    I been saying this ? for years..

    ? come to the west..
    smoke our weed.. soak in our sun rays..
    get turned down by our bad ? ..

    and then go back to wherever the ? they from new ? ..

    BUT THEN try to ? on the west?!? smmfh

    rims.. top down.. popping bottles.. thats all westcoast...

    Yea I think everybody out he has been tryna tell everybody this.... ? in the west don't become bigger becuz everybody from other regions comes and takes our ? and runs with it but when we put it out there it gets classified as "too west coast sounding"..….. the masses like the west coast sound they just don't like it coming from west coast artist especially if it's our bay sound

    Im not a big Bay fan..
    im a Southern Cali ? .. but I know ? who are and they always pointing out how the Bay be getting bitten..
    ? is disgusting..

    it really is disgusting cuz the bay has great talent and none of them are getting shine because people are stealing their sound which is ? up . Lowkey west is running hiphop not the south

    Eh...wouldn't say that, but everything is Definitely Southern and West Coast influenced in rap today

    Some of the souths most popular producers are from the Bay (e.g. Zaytoven) and they carried their sound with them which influences other producers in the south.

    I don't know if he ever listened to Mac Dres music but if you listen to Young Dolph, he has a couple of songs that sound like Mac Dre verses. When I heard the first verse on this my first thought was "damn this sound like some Dre ? "
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G_1woo3_KU


    ...And an East Atlanta ? gave the Bay 2 of their Biggest Classics.
    (e.g. Too Short's "Blow the Whistle" & E-40's "Tell Me When to Go")

    Zaytoven is from the Bay but his sound didn't catch on at first because that wasn't the sound in Atlanta...he said himself Gucci and others told him he had to tailor his Beats to the Vibe down here and Voila...You got the Signature Zaytoven sound.

    Ehhhh...lol


    I think both regions have many Similar influences and culture factors.

    You gotta remember, wasn't too much to do in the South wayyy back when. Not a Metropolis like alot of it is today...so Picking up that Guitar and them Drumsticks and other instruments and starting Funk, Soul, Blues, Jazz, and Country Bands was Natural.
    We both have the Old School Car culture and the warmest weather in the Country

    But To say we got that from the West is Crazy talk lol
