Give it a rest bruh because it's obvious you really do not know what you're talking about and you're only making yourself look dumber.

Treach has been regarded as one of the best the east coast had to offer since the 90s. I have no f***in clue where you get this idea that NYers didn't respect him or hold him and Naughty by Nature in high regard.

I’m glad I saw this lmao this is probably the wildest post in this thread

Aight bet glad you accept you taking an L here and resorting to the usual NY slander. Calling a Muslim Holy City dusty is also wild but that ain't my problem.

Black Muslim culture exists obviously, no one said they did not. Muslims are 9% of nyc, black Muslims less than that. What's that got to do with all the old cacs and non Muslims using it when calling Knicks games?

If anything, shouldn't it be offensive that people are using the most high and the holiest place to talk about basketball?

You literally said NYers are stealing a culture. I'm saying how is that possible when Black Muslims exist and live in the city? The f*** does Dearborn, MI have to do with that? What does the percentage of Black Muslims in NY change anything about Black Muslims existing and praying to Mecca?

Post a picture of ya your hand or shut up bruh. Especially with you tryna bring up that s*** regarding basketball cause you and I both know you don't actually give a s*** about that and you desperately tryna be funny and failing miserably at it.

Bruh tryna talk about the existence of Black Muslims and lowkey discredit their existence in NY with this cracker as his avy

But somehow I don't care about the basketball aspect of my post?

50 had beef wit real NYC street niggas, those NY niggas hated fifty which in turn bled Into industry beef. But the common NYer loved 50 I dont get where ya getting this from lol

I'm about a dollar who the f is 50 cents was the general NY attitude to 50 until about 02. You know NY picks jay over 50

Every NY rapper hated how to rob

50 had a deal and a whole album out that didn't do anything pre mixtapes(because NY hated). Idc what he did on canal street because those tapes were bigger than NY and that's my point

Still no hand pic

This thread still going

Bro I'm mexican, never once said I was black. Since you're Muslim ill rephrase the op you replied to:

NY at large is stealing your culture and applying to s*** like Broadway and basketball

"I'm about a dollar who the f is 50 cents was the general NY attitude to 50"

Again this is false. You not from the city. Stop tryna speak on something you don't even know.

NY rappers had beef with 50 for How To Rob, but that literally had no impact on the people in NY who were still f***ing with him heavy.

Treach not even from NY idk why he brought him up lol East orange niggas don’t claim NY

Seeing as how I'm Black, from NY, and have studied Islam since childhood, I'm more okay with the city acknowledging that Mecca is a holy city even if they are using it as a nickname for a historical landmark than some Mexican dork on a forum tryna tell me what I should and shouldn't be offended by when they been steady talking s*** about my city and tryna pretend like they actually give a f*** about Islam.

isn’t Mecca commonly used synonymously with something that’s considered highly esteemed or essentially royal?

i get the sentiment but i think it’s a bit misplaced lol, i don’t think a word being used primarily for heaping praise on something is necessarily bad, appropriation sure (i guess?)

brudda who you kidding you only know NY from Seinfeld & law and order

Leaving Snoop, Ice T and Eazy out of your "worth listening to" list

Y'all east coast dudes need to pay proper respects to the West lol Without the West, there is no telling if hip hop even exists right now. Late 80s/early 90s hip hop boom was because of the west. Dr. Dre, Snoop and Ice Cube ran rap from about 1989 to 1993/4. Nas, BIG, Pac etc.. all were inspired/influenced by the West. Nobody sold records before the stars from the West started going platinum. BIG was the guy to shift the attention back to the East Coast and it stayed there until the mid 2000s. But I still believe early 90s West Coast, specifically The Chronic, those first 3 Cube albums and Doggystyle--is peak hip hop in the history of rap.

No denying the West is going through a weak stage right now, but I'd argue that's one of the main reasons rap in general is going through its worse era ever right now. The east has always been overrated. The West and the South make the best hip hop imo
