    • @At.mos.fEarProduktionz
      @At.mos.fEarProduktionz Před 6 hodinami

      @@OPdbx it’s not the style I’m talking about. It was the approach they took on hip hop. Yea gangsta rap isn’t a thing now… it’s thugs and drug dealers pimps and hoes and money. etc, sound familiar? That all came from gangsta rap. That was my point. Easy E and Dre and rappers like Tok Short started a crap movement and it has evolved to what rap is now. The music was good the lyrics were shit. Negativity and violence and drug dealing and demeaning women is their bread and butter. That’s trash. And that whole excuse that they are just telling us what’s happening in the streets is such a bunch of BS. They love it. They revel in it. There is no conscious in their process it’s just trash mentality. Only thing that changed is how the beats sound and the verbiage and the cadence, but the content is still the same old trash.

      @At.mos.fEarProduktionz 1000% agree but the irony is, the birth of west coast underground hip hop was built on some of these gangsta rapper labels branching out making sub-labels - trying to find new talent. no i'm not talking about some m&m b.s. I wish @diggingthegreats would do more videos on west coast hip hop. I mean, Souls of Mischief and Pharcyde is just the tip of the iceberg. People Under the Stairs, Crown City Rockers, Giant Panda....this is a softball pitch to get started down a west coast hip hop rabbit hole.
