Classic
What these niggas from the East Coast fail to realize, and don't understand about the South and they think they know, is the fact, the albums that they worship and praise, wasn't getting no play down here. Just like majority albums they deem as regional classics for us wasn't getting any burn up there, their albums that they think everybody was listening to, or took the world by storm, that shit wasn't being bumped AT all down here.
I can count on one hand how many times I heard Redman, Method Man, Nore, add your fav east coast rapper, being bumped on the radio or in the hood or at a major event in the South.
The niggas that bumped those albums down here at the time when they came out and 9 outta 10 times that dude bumping that shit was from a NY or place on the East Coast, those albums that these East Coast deem as classics, were considered Weirdos.
Truth be told, these were the artists and albums that niggas listened to back in the gap in the hood, car wash, outdoor parties, BBQ parties, family re-unions
outside the events, in college dorms at the parties, football games, tail-gating, clubs, high schools parties, middle school parties, etc. big time Southern events, such as The Bayou Classic, The Heritage Bowl in ATL, FAMU vs BCU in Florida, The Florida Classic, FAMU Homecoming, Texas Southern Homecoming, Freek Nik, Kappa Beach, etc.
We had shit like "The Box" and that's where the Southern artist would get their exposure. BET rap city rarely played any of our music.
Cash Money (old B.G., old Hot Boys, old Juvie)
No Limit
UGK
ATL - Kilo and them dudes out there, with the booty shaking music
Texas (Screw) Big Mike, etc
Rap-A-Lot
MJG & Ball
Project Pat
Dungeon Family
Kast
3-6
The Dayton Family (I haven't yet to see anybody bring up this group)
N.O. Bounce Music
2pac (here and there, AEOM and that's it, the radio singles off his 7day theory album, and post death albums)
Niggas started bumping Snoop when he came to NL, even his shit wasn't being played here before then.
Do or Die
Bone
None of that East Coast music was played down here at all.
And when I say down here, LA, TX, ATL, MS, AL, FL, etc, unless it featured a Southern rapper and that song that had the Southern featured was the one being played, if it had bass in it. Jay didn't break down here until 2000, when ppl down here felt it was cool to listen to him, was when he did Big Pimpin which was a Southern group.
So just like yall say shit is a regional classic because the album wasn't played heavy where yall roamed, the shit that yall posted is the same way how we felt. If niggas were caught listening to it, you were considered a weirdo or lame.
Nothing to get mad about but that's the truth, but ppl need to know, majority if not all of the South wasn't bumping that shit and ppl yall deem as superior rappers
If yo shit didn't come on the radio, like a Puff single, BIG single, Mase single, LL single (and niggas aint even bump his mid-90s albums like talkin bout) if yo shit aint come on the radio down here, that shit wasn't being played or listen to, so again, just like yall deem our music regional classic because that's all we listened to down here, the albums that yall post outside of your Biggies, Puff (No Way Out) wasn't getting no play down here at ALL. Nothing to get mad about
