There’s also more classics in hip hop history in New York alone than there is in every sub genre of rap combined

The South got something to say about that

The South got wayyyyyy more trash than dope. But some of the best south rappers are better than 98% of NY rappers

This subgenre got a lot of average rappers with no personality being carried by ok to great production tho.

CLASSIC
DOPE
HIP-HOP HISTORY

higher barrier of entry at the time

West coast lowkey has a pretty good fire to trash ratio too

Take your f***ing backpack off man it’s 2020

No we dont lol

Trust me bro we do not. Every nigga down here wanna be a rapper and the local niggas be havin me dyin cause they so trash

OP not lyin if you look at the ratio between passable and straight up trash

But thats really because boom bap is so inoffensive and lacking in variety that it would be hard to even go out of your way to make it trash

I thought in this thread we obviously weren’t talking about local no names lol

agreed

The West is the worst region in hip hop.

Sorry but I gotta school ya’ll sucka MC’s in 2020

Yeah if this was 1994 maybe

I don’t really think there’s a worst unless we count the midwest but I feel like especially in the last 15 years there’s been way more fire than trash from the west

Have you heard the Group Home album? Preemo's best beats ever completely wasted. It happens

Simply not true. Your mind is tricked into thinking stuff is dope but when you sit down and actually digest it you begin to realize you’ve been bamboozled under the guise of 4 syllable words and metaphors that don’t actually make sense

Boom Bap does have more consistent rappers but the whole subgenre has remained static for 20 years.

That was only early 90s boom bap,fam.

Boom bap just needs a revival with an updated sound and better artists.
