I didn't want to derail the other thread, but people were saying, or implying that being regionally biased is a bad thing.
I like East Coast Hip Hop from the 80s and 90s and some stuff from the early 00s. Thats what I like, whats wrong with that?
I've heard No Limit, Cash Money, Death Row, E-40, Too $hort, Young Jeezy, Game, T.I., Ludacris, DJ Khaled, Common, Kanye West, Eminem, Outkast, hell I even remember the 2 Live Crew.
But I've made up my mind what I like.
Whats the problem?
You answered your own question. You like what you like. Long as you're comfortable it doesn't matter. -

Nothing...
Don't worry about it. Just own it... -
Eta: Had to make some corrections, lol.Just because you're biased towards your a certain region doesn't mean you can't tolerate their dont accept, listen, or like music. outside of it but ? is dumb so..

Name a NY rapper who debuted in 2005 and is relivent in 2017

Growing up in the Midwest, I really didn't have this problem. If something was dope, I listened to it.
I never had the attitude of "I'm only going to listen to the Midwest style of fast rap (Tech N9ne, Twista, Bone) and just Common, Nelly, Lupe Fiasco, etc."
I think a lot of people back home had this same mindset, although I remembered people favoring LA West Coast, Bay Area and Down South music, in addition to the Midwest. If an East Coast song was hot, people had no problem playing it.
Personally, my all-time record collection contains albums from all regions.
After high school, I went to college in the South and met people from all over the country. And from my observance, it was mostly the East Coast people being regionally biased when it came to music. You could like 100 Biggie songs, but if you wasn't feeling one - all of a sudden you're wack and know nothing about Hip-Hop. LOL!!!

That's why nobody ? they hating ass. The south, west and midwest always been down. Bone went to LA and got down with Ruthless, Snoop went to NOLA and got down with P, $hort came to Atl and linked up Lil' John, Da' Brat was on SoSo Def, Ball and G made hits with 40 and Mac Mall, T.I. made hits with Daz and Kanye, Face was spittin' with Pac and Cube, so forth and so on. P was putting out the Down South Hustlers and the West Coast Bad Boyz. E 40 put out the Southwest Riders and all that ? was going hard. ? Drama was on Suave House, Do or Die was on Rap A Lot, Mac was on No Limit, etc. We never had any beef. But at one time or another all of these different regions had to deal with these envious, mad ass haters from the east and their ? "regional bias". -

Bruh do You feel guilty for liking what you like or something? That's the beauty of this ? you can choose. Choose wisely my ? .

When all else fails, them units aint moving and those shows are empty as ? that regional bias ? goes out the window and you hating ? will jump on whatever the latest trend and fad is. Yall have been irrelevant since 50s era (who ironically found success using the same west coast sound that yall spent the previous decade hating on) b/c you clowns fad hop from trend to trend trying 2 put a NY face on something that isn't yours. Thats how you end up with a decade plus worth of bums like Mims. Yall talk all that ? about "regional bias" but when its all said and done the only NY artist that have done real numbers over the past 20 years have used southern, mid west and west coast producers, concepts and ideas.

New York ran the table for 25+ years.
I honestly think rap/Hip Hop has run out of ideas. Every so-called hot rapper sounds alike. They use the same beats and rap about the same subject matter.
Having said that, they're building a Hip Hop museum in Harlem and they've been changing street names in The Bronx to honor the pioneers.

I dont think anything until people start getting bitter. Thats a bad emotion to hold on too but even worse when they start trying to spread negativity about music. It just causes some to feel a way that a certain region has had such a run. It is what it is and sometimes I get it. But again it is what it is people can like what they like but once people go overboard trying to hate on success, or just on what somebody else likes, then thats fckboy status at that point. It just be emotions.

LA isn't what it was either. And to some degree neither is the south.
The truth of the matter is from almost all of the above mentioned areas the best artists are from generations past.
So, I get it your focus isn't on skill, artistic integrity and definitely not the proliferation of Hip Hop's elements.
If, the focus is who's on the radio, selling hot wings, selling ass or peddling the latest product you're correct.
