<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Blaze @ May 8 2007, 08:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Of course people like east coast rap. Hip hop originated in New York. But yes, today's east coast rappers aren't as dominating as before but there is hope. Papoose, 50 Cent, DMX, and Rakim are all coming out with albums this summer, which should give the east coast a boost. Also, so many legends from New York... The Notorious B.I.G, NaS, Big L, Gang Starr, Wu-Tang Clan, Raekwon (solo) KRS-One, Kool G. Rap, Mobb Deep, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Jay-Z, etc... Even 2Pac lived most of his life in New York until he moved to Baltimore and California. I don't think Papoose alone can bring back the east coast but I think this summer the east will be surging through. Papoose is really hyped up in the underground, we know 50 Cent will sell, DMX is probably gonna hit #1 on hip hop charts for the 7th straight time, and Rakim might get gold... Then there's Ja Rule coming out with an album.</div>Don't forget Chicago rappers, they're east as well.Lupe, Kanye, Rhymefest, Common... to name a few
That is true 7goat, forgot about that. Chicago has put up some good lyricists lately. Lupe could go down as a great, Kanye lyrics aren't so good, but he is a great entertainer, Rhymefest and Commons lyrics are awesome.
